Issue 1 Downtime

Trev sauntered into the library near the end of Elena's shift and waited for his girlfriend. Dates had been postponed a bit due to not really....being in his own body lately.

((For Elena))

Elena was sitting behind the desk with a travel mug of something. The way she was cradling it, it might have been filled with gold. She smiled when she saw Trev. "Glad to be back in you're own body?"

"Oh god yes," he grinned. "Mostly because it means I can see you again without it being sort of weird."

Trev leaned casually against the circulation desk where she sat. "Don't want to sound overly attached or anything, but a week without seeing you kinda sucked. Randomly having my body explode into something out of Lovecraft's imagination didn't help matters either."

"Yes, no offense, but I wouldn't have handled that well," she said with a nod.

"I don't blame you. I certainly didn't handle it well," he smirked.

"But as I recall we were going to finally see a movie together the night that I swapped places with one of our professors, and I wanted to see when you were free to cash in that raincheck."

"I should be free most evenings this week. I've been working more days lately."

"Well, I was hoping you might be free tonight, since according the schedule I looked at, you're off in 20 minutes."

"You, sir, are a sneaky bastard."

"Just a junkie looking for his fix," he smirked. "I missed you. A lot. And if you need to wash your hair or something tonight that's fine, but I do have takeout Chinese, a bottle of wine, and cookies that I baked, and there's too much for me to eat alone."

"I think I could do that," she said after sipping thoughtfully from her drink.

"If you don't feel up to it tonight, that's fine," He smiled.

you don't even know if she likes surprises and you spring this on her right away...idiot.

"So long as you don't blame me if I fall asleep, it'll be fine."

"Oh no, a beautiful woman has fallen asleep on my shoulder, whatever shall I do?" he teased.

She stuck her tongue out at him. "Watch yourself, Romeo."

"What? Do you have any idea how awesome it is to have a girl who you adore asleep on your shoulder? It's one of the best feelings in the world!"

"I can't say I've had that opportunity," she said with a smirk, "The idea does have a certain appeal." Her tone seemed designed to mess with his head.
