Room 512, after classes

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke was not very good in a crisis. Radio might have made that evident. After French class she headed straight back to her room, trying to distract herself over a sewing machine to put together a few of her designs. This actually did work, at least until she heard a noise and about jumped out of her skin. And there was a lot of frustrated mess-ups and muttered curses that followed, so all in all Brooke was having a fun time.

And not going outside for any town meetings. If there was a marning to be careful in going into town, she wasn't going into town.

"I'm sure you could handle it," she said, angels momentarily forgotten.

"I suppose I could try," Peter said. "For the right motivation."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I can be pretty motivating," Brooke assured him.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I dunno," Peter said. "You always struck me as pretty shy."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I know, it's so hard to get me out of my shell," she said, shaking her head. "I just don't know what to do about it."

"Could try talking about it," Peter suggested. "Sharing our feelings."

[gobrookeyourself]

"The feelings-sharing thing might be a little weird today," Brooke said, "but I'm up for other suggestions."

"Checkers?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"Never was too good at that," she said, not even missing a beat.

"Huh," Peter said. "And ANTM was yesterday, so that's out..."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I missed it," she admitted. "I had it on mute." She'd been on the phone trying to convince Peyton that she wasn't crazy or on drugs, actually.

"Could catch a rerun," Peter said. "That is, if there isn't anything else you'd rather do."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I don't think the rerun's on tonight anyway," she smiled. Good to see her priorities were all in order.

"Oh. Well." Peter may have leaned in. "Something else then."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I have an idea," she said, leaning in to kiss him. Apparently she found a distraction.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter leaned in to kiss back. Apparently he was now happily distracted.

[gobrookeyourself]

She pulled back after a moment, but stayed nice and close. "What do you think, good start?" she asked.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Good start," Peter said. "Not close to a finish though."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Don't worry," she smiled, "we'll get there."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Trust me," Peter said, leaning in again, "I'm not in a rush."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Such good words," she said, leaning in for another kiss.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Glad you liked 'em," Peter said, leaning in for a few kisses more.

[gobrookeyourself]

The kisses were very close to her favorite part, and she figured if she kept them up, the good words could wait till later.
