@SevensVictor -Sorry, next time I go shopping I’ll make sure to grab some fruity shampoo for you. Actually, go ahead and make me a list of what I should get. If, you know, you plan to spend the night I should be prepared. [He winked, then casted his gaze at her outfit.] You look like a bum in-
@SevensVictor -in dry mud. He gently scratched at them to check his scabs. Hopefully his wounds have healed enough that he wouldn’t have to worry about a possible infection. When Johanna stepped out of the bathroom he quickly tugged down at his sleeves. He cracked a smile at her comment.] -
@SevensVictor [While Johanna occupied the bathroom, Gale used the tissues on Lathan’s desk to clean himself up as much as he could. He wasn’t covered in mud as much as Johanna, but it was still enough to fill the trash bin with dirty tissues. He looked down at his wrists to find them covered-
@SevensVictor -with Mirri. Now that I know she mentioned to you about her connection, maybe she ended up getting Lathan back on whatever he used. His sleep aid medication is supposed to be strong, so who knows.
@SevensVictor -weren’t exactly coming from the cleanest lab in the city. [Gale placed the clothes on Lathan’s bed, which was closest to the bathroom where Johanna stood by the door. He reached out to brush away some strands of hair away from her cheek.] It probably doesn’t help being friends-
@SevensVictor -the shorts. He hoped they fit Johanna well enough until she’d be able to change into her own clothes.] Even when the withdrawal phase passed, the addiction somehow fucked with his head so bad that he doesn’t sleep most of the time now, even with sleep aids. He said the drugs-
@SevensVictor -preferred to fuck up his sleeping schedule than disappoint his father, I guess. Ended up getting addicted to the point where he had a breakdown when his dad found out and cut him off cold turkey. I think he mentioned breaking some office windows out of rage. [Gale set aside-
@SevensVictor -family is from the Capitol and pretty successful. I don’t remember what they own, but it’s a big business or company that his father demand he learn to take over. It was a lot of work and stress that Lathan ended up using some drug that keeps you up so he could catch up. He-
@SevensVictor [Gale paused from his task to look over at Johanna, following her gaze to Lathan’s photos. He set the shirts he was holding on the bed before opening another drawer where he had his casual shorts.] You would think so, but Lathan is far from it. I mean that in a good way. His-
@SevensVictor -their current state. Gale finally dropped Johanna’s hand so he could grab clean clothes for them.] Make yourself at home. There’s some towels in the bathroom if you want to clean yourself up a little.
@SevensVictor -been doing since he got here. Though he definitely didn’t want to get Johanna in trouble when she just arrived.
When the two finally arrived at his room he quickly led her inside and closed the door behind them. Lathan was no where to be found, which was good, considering-
@SevensVictor -date but if you’re dropping hints… [He winked before turning his attention back to the empty hallway. His anxiety was causing his heart to pound in his chest, and he wondered if Johanna could feel his pulse. He didn’t care about getting in trouble here; that’s all that he’s-
@SevensVictor [Gale looked over to smirk at Johanna. He wasn’t surprised by her words; she had already proven to have no filter, especially something suggestive. He liked her confidence, it was actually something that slightly intimidated him.] I mean, I planned on being a gentleman on this-
@SevensVictor [He chuckles, then kisses her head as he passes her to where the coffee maker is.] I’m sure I can remember. I’ll let you know if I need help.
@SevensVictor Very tough indeed. [Playfully pinches her cheek.] Is it my incredibly good looks that make you swoon? Or my amazing pick up lines? Or both? It’s both, right? Of course it is.
