[CLOSED] til the break of dawn

She blushed, squeezing his hand gently, picking up her fork with her other hand. "Yeah, but we all can't have boyfriends like you, now can we?" She said quietly, running her fingers up and down his palm.

"I dunno. I tried to apply for a job at a daycare, but they said I was a bad influence. And then I tried being a nanny once, but the dad was really a creep and kept trying to like, get in my pants. So I quit that. Besides, I keep up after six guys." She laughed a bit, handing him her last tomato.

Shawn popped it into his mouth with a smile. "And it's because all they see is you as this. If they see that determination towards such a job instead of this one, they have no reason to judge. You just gotta keep on trying you know?"

He patted her hand gently, didn't take his own back. "I'm sure you'll find somewhere, and I'm sure you may get some nasty turn down on the way. Modeling undergarment and watching kids is a huuuuge difference." He laughed faintly.

"I guess." She took another bite of her salad, looking down at her roses. She smiled a bit, still unsure if it was Channing or Shawn who had gotten them. But she was leaning more towards her brother, considering it had a dollar in it.

She touched the tips of her fingers against his, barely able to feel them because of the burn she has suffered when she was younger to her hand. It had healed fine, but she still couldn't feel anything on her finger tips. She didn't even have prints on that hand. "I need to repaint my nails.." She said quietly, looking at her nails.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn laughed. "I'm tryina have a serious conversationnn," He drawled. "And you're worried about your nails?!" He grinned at her at the poking fun, touching at the faintly scarred fingertips gently before his only slightly more masculine fingers slid between her own, the tips of them resting against the sensitive top of her hand.

"I like that.." He whispered, studying their joined hand a moment before smiling back up at her again.

"Well yeah! People see my hands, too! And they're all chipped and stuff." She blushed when she felt him slip his fingers between hers. She suddenly got butterflies, and she glanced over at him.

"Yeah?" She smiled a bit, running her thumb across his.

"Ugh, you steal my chair, and now you steal my boyfriend?" Channing said with a lisp, pushing Shaun's head forward.

"Maybe he likes me better." She said with a laugh, flipping her hair out of her face.

"Bet he doesn't." Channing said, sitting beside her.

"Bet he does." She said with a smirk. She squeezed his hand gently, pulling their hands into her lap.

"Tell her you like me more." Channing said, stealing a piece of her chicken. She slapped his hand, glaring at him. He laughed, wrinkling his nose. "Want it back?" She shook her head, suppressing a giggle.

"I don't swap spit with my brother."

"But you would with another Shawn."

"CHANNING KALE!" She yelped, slapping him on the back of the head. "You take that back!"

"Nope!" He said with a laugh, covering his head.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn snickeredfaintly, watching all of this, laughing faintly. "Why I gotta choose?" He teased, keeping his fingers laced through Shaun's in her lap.

"Awh, you're makin him take it back?" He taunted. "Maybe I like him more now." Green and brown eyes glimmered with nonverbal laughter this time, that crooked smile returning to his face, daring and mischeivous. He liked that the two got along so much, couldn't help but think that Channing was like an older version of Tyler though.

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun pretended to pout, bopping her brother on the head again. "See, you made him not like me no more."

"You did it to yourself." He said with a laugh. "I can't help it I'm attractive and you're not."

She raised her hand to smack him again, and he ran off, snickering. "I cannot stand him." She said with a laugh, running her thumb over his.

"You got to kees da gurl." Channing came by singing and Shaun laid her head down on the table in defeat.

"I'm gonna die now. Just sink through the floor." She said, not wanting Shawn to see the blush on her cheeks.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn laughed, playing with her fingers absently. When Shaun grew embarassed, he let her hand go to touch her cheek gently and raise her head, smiling at the blush on her cheeks. "Silly girl," He teased gently. "You don't gotta hide your face you know." He ran his thumb over the smooth surface of her skin, moved closer so he could her her hand again with his other one instead.

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun thought for sure Channing was going to do something stupid again and ruin it. But surprisingly, he didn't. She bit her lip, tangling her fingers with his. She looked into his mismatched eyes, her heart feeling like it was about to pound out of her chest. Her free hand found it's way to his chest, and she ran her fingers across his shirt. She looked back up at him, realizing just how close they were. She reached up, gently placing her hand on his neck, her delicate fingers finding their way into his hair.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawb searched her face, tilting his head into her hand some as he studied her with the faintest of smiles. He hesitated, hoping he wasn't making a mistake as he leaned forward, handing sliding to the back of her neck, and kissed her gently on the lips.

The action was sweet and slow, innocent. He gazed at her, biting his lip unsurely, hoping he hadn't made a mistake
