lavandarlizard2It's a good thing my comp has that date/time thing down in the corner... >_> It looks like Sunday... O.o
So, posting some new words here... Short, unfortunately. O.O
Duo cracked open his fortune cookie and read his ‘fortune’. “You are the center of every gathering,” he intoned aloud. “It doesn’t say whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing.”
“It’s supposed to be cryptic. It’s the way of the cookie.”
Duo snickered and stuck his tongue out at the Wyvern.
“Now that my hair is no longer an issue, what are we going to do about Ctik?” he asked.
Heero snorted. He knew what he’d like to do about Ctik, but unfortunately he had been raised as an honorable Wyvern, so drop-kicking the idiot vamp into a live volcano was not an option.
“We will be meeting with a Gringott’s rep tonight after Ctik wakes. The first task is to establish accounts for him; short, mid and long-term, get him a bank card and a line of credit for living expenses. Once the financials are out of the way, we’ll work on finding him a place to live and arranging for the removal of any furnishings from the house.”
Duo nodded. He really wanted to find Ctik a place to live, but Heero was right; the foundations had to come first. “Does he really have enough money to live on?”
“Absolutely. Nine million, properly invested, will support a very nice household. And even Ctik is good at accruing wealth; it’s a skill most vampires have.”
“Can I mention his family? Or should I stay away from that topic for now?” he wondered. He really couldn’t see Ctik cutting off Gisela and the children, but he might not want to deal with them so soon.
Heero gave him a toothy grin. “By all means, mention them. We are not going to let him avoid the hard parts.”
“I just don’t want to make it, like, a condition of us helping him, if he’d rather not deal with it for a while.”
“Ctik is an idiot as a vamp, but as a human being he was a very responsible person; he will do what is right.”
Duo nodded his agreement, happy that Heero was willing to give Ctik a chance, even if he was an “idiot vamp.”
“Okay, that’s tonight, after sunset. What do we do in the meantime?”
Heero raised one eyebrow and smiled. “Let’s go test-drive your new haircut.”
“Ooooh…! ‘Test drive’; is that what we’re calling it now?”
“For today. Acceptable?”
“Hm…” Duo considered thoughtfully. “I was actually thinking about doing some shopping…”
Heero blinked. “Shopping? You would rather *shop* than romp naked with me?” His tone was hurt, but his expression mischievous.
Duo licked his lips and leaned across the table. “We have plenty of time to do both. I need a new hairbrush and I want some more yarn. Please?”
Heero gave a great sigh. “All right, then. I will harness my wicked desires for a few more hours. Lead on, my angel, and I will follow.”
“Of course you will! You love looking at my ass!” Duo laughed.
“And I can see more of it now.”

*hugs*

Date: 2008-12-29 09:53 am (UTC)Wow, that much money can support Ctik and his family, his grandchildren, their grandchildren, their grand grandchildren and if they are careful to avoid another Miles incident they won't ever have to worry about money. Hmm, think Ctik would adopt me?

Date: 2008-12-31 07:18 pm (UTC)I think Ctik may decide to leave his finances in non-familial hands for a few years. ^___^
He has to adopt me first... ^.o

Date: 2008-12-29 02:10 pm (UTC)And regardless of how he scoffs at Ctik, I think he is secretly fond of the 'idiot vamp'. Heero's just a big softy. Just ask Duo.
Finally, a new brush, more shopping and then home to 'snuggle' with Heero, what else could ya ask for?
Wonderful, hon.
