Cupid. Without the arrows.

Hello ! I'm Ari.

Sleepover ||James&Ari

Taking note of Ari’s unamused face, James began fist-pumping. “Now that,” he suddenly stopped fist-pumping, “Was tragic. And he should have known better to count Mississippiley,” he shrugged. “I would probably tan at the beach or something, seeing that I can’t swim and all.”

#para #Sleepover #ooc:no worries #if they're too mentally scarred to fit in society and find a nice girl #I'm sure their grandpa will get a nice one for them at a bus stop again

Ari laughed "Seriously though, who over 10 counts Mississippiley ? He totally had it coming" She turned her body towards James, and sat on her legs resting her arm over the back of the couch. "Don't you wish you knew how to swim though ? Hey I think that water magnifies the rays that make you tan too."

James dropped his jaw in false shock of Ari’s reaction. “I resent that,” he said as he covered his chest the best he could with his arms. “Because spray tans are a gateway to gelled hair and obnoxious jewelry. Plus they’re cold and I make a good nightlight,” he shrugged, getting comfortable on the couch.

#para #Sleepover #ooc:actually kidds #i met your great grandfather before i met your father #it was at a bus stop. I blacked out and woke up in a wedding dress

Ari sat on the couch next to him "Uh oh, don't you dare bring the Jersey Shore to Ohio ! I was thinking more along the line of that friends episode where Ross 'tries' to get a spray tan."

Laughing, James bowed and replied in the same silly accent as Ari. “Thank you, malady.” Tossing the pillows on the couch in any given way, James gave up on trying to find his shirt and used the blanket from before. “Am I glowing with paleness?” He chuckled.

#para #Sleepover #ooc:I usually never go to that city #I had to go take care of some student healthcare things #or I can't get into business school #And I almost got roped into a weird arranged marriage probably

Ari laughed when she replied with an accent. She put a hand in front of her eyes pretending to be blinding " Stop it, it's so bright it's burning my eyes" she said before bringing her hand down and grinning "If you are so self-conscious about it you should go get a spray tan."

“So she casually buys pillows in sets of 10?” James asked as he titled his head. “That’s innovative,” he said to himself as Ari disappeared up the stairs. He usually slept in his boxers at home, but compromised when he slept over at someone else’s house. Taking off his shirt, he rummaged through his bag trying to find the shirt he packed to sleep in.

#para #Sleepover #ooc he starting going like 'oh yes 17 is too young to get engaged'#I'm like WHY DID YOU ASK ME THEN wsankgs #had toleave to catch the bus #I texted my mother and she asked me'was it for him or his grandson' xD

"Not innovative, excessive." she said over her shoulder before climbing up the tsairs and going into her room. She threw all the pillows her mother insisted on decorating here bed with on the couch the minute she left for their 4th of July vacation. Grabbing two of them and changing their pillowcases she made her way pack down stairs. "Your pillows sir" she said with a stupid accent , while holding them out.

“Sure thing,” he said as she handed off the DVD.”Really? Shaun of the Dead?” James asked incredulously. “You can tolerate that, but not this,” he said gesturing wildly to the movie. “Paradox,” he gently accused as he placed his movie into in his overnight bag. “So how about those pillows?”

#para #Sleepover #ooc: oh my god #my life is epic.#Some old guy started talking to me at the bus stop #and after asking my age asked me if I was engaged #WTF #I think he wanted to marry me to his son or something but it was soooo awkward

"Hey, there's enough comedy to hide the horror in that movie. " she said with a frown. "Sure I'll grab a few from my room. My mother is a pillow whore, she puts 10 on every bed and doesn't really care that normal people only use one" Ari rolled her eyes and started making her way upstairs.

“What is that her power?” He joked. “The couch is fine, but I wasn’t really paranoid about your dad until now,” James frowned. Even if he was sleeping downstairs and completely away from his daughter. “I don’t wanna to come raging in here thinking I’m out to like…corrupt you or anything,” he blushed.

"Nope. which makes it even more creepy." She smiled "Tell me when you want to sleep and I'll fetch some pillows for you." Laughing as he frowned obviously thinking about a rabid father chasing him out she answered "I think the corruption was already done with that awful movie, but yeah, fathers to teenage daughters tend to be over protective." She went to the TV and crouched down, taking the DVD out and putting it back into it's box before handing it back to James "Oh and next time we are watching Shawn of the Dead. I can tolerate that."

“That actually happened to me once. ‘Cept it was a table, and our babysitter was the absolute worst,” he frowned at the memory and unconsciously rubbed his nose. “You can never be too careful,” he shrugged. “Well, it would be rude to invite myself over and then stay the night…” he began with false contemplation. “So yes, I am,” he smirked.

Ari smiled at his statement "I wish I could let you sleep in Valerie's room so you'd be more comfortable but she hates people using her stuff and she has this creepy ability to find out when people have." she said with a sigh. "Do you mind sleeping on the couch ? If it's too small or anything there's an air mattress that I can bring down. Oh and don't worry about being chased out in the morning by my furious father or anything, my parents won't come back for 2 days, they're on their annual 4th of July trip"

“Maybe not. My idea of babysitting is letting the kids roam free and doing whatever the hell they want”, James shrugged. Watching Ari’s head drop after putting space between the two, he felt the vibe between the two change. “So do I,” James genuinely agreed, but hesitated on the last question. “I don’t know. Don’t get any ideas though.”

"If I had let them run around, one of the kids would have ended up running into a wall and bleeding to death. Ugh, blood" she said with a fake gag, thinking back to the movie. "Ideas ? Relax I'm not going to dye your hair red while you sleep James ! Are you staying over by the way ?"she asked, eyeing what seemed to be his overnight bag.

“Yes, seven year olds are very menacing,” James sarcastically said with a nod. He backed and put some space between the two. There was no need to make her crane her neck just to look at him. “But then you realize how most tall people are clumsy. Personally, I think it’s the hair that adds to the pasty thing.”

"Trust me, once you do enough baby sitting, you'll genuinely think that" she said, and lowered her head when James stepped back. For some weird reason it felt a bit insulting. shaking the weird thoughts out of her head she continued "It does make a contrast, sure, but I like it. Do you really think you'd look better with red hair ?" she asked, unconsciously playing with a strand of her own hair.

James couldn’t help but to laugh and gave Ari an unimpressed look. “Did you scare Tim when you were seven, because if you did, that’s not saying much.” Scoffing at her comment on his height, he walked over to Ari standing over her. “Am I really that menacing? I’m sure the fact that I’m pasty like Elmer’s glue distracts from that.”

"Hey, I was seven and very very angry !"she exclaimed while grinning. She looked up at James when he stood in front of her, require her to tilt her chin up to look at him in the eyes. "Well it is impressive when someone is really taller than you. And please, if anybody is pasty here, it's me" she scoffed.

Sleepover ||James&Ari

“I do, actually,” James smiled. “But really it’s because you’re an easy target,” he shrugged. Coming up from under the blanket, James stood up from the couch and turned off the television. “Maybe try to be a bit more menacing.”

Ari dropped the blanket on the couch and got up, stretching her arms on the side "Look at me , how the hell am I supposed to look menacing ? Unless I work really hard on getting the same Helena Bohnam Carter vibe she had during the movie, the only thing I was ever able to scare was Tim ." She said, letting her arms fall back by her side "You can probably pull menacing off because you're so freakishly tall"

Sleepover ||James&Ari

James began laughing, but quickly cringed when Ari latched onto his arm. “I’ll let you know when it’s over after the feeling in my arm comes back.” Watching the credits roll, he turned his attention back to a hidden Ari and poked his head under her blanket. “Boo,” he dryly exclaimed.

Ari probably jumped a foot high when she saw James peek his head under the blanket. It was thin so just enough light went through so she could recognize him but she wasn't expecting this at all " Why are you creeping up on me after watching this ? Do you enjoy scaring me" She exclaimed, trying to keep a smile off her face.

Sleepover ||James&Ari

As he listened to Ari’s horror story about her cousin, his eyes widened and he frowned. “That little punk,” he exclaimed. “Either way, you’re choking. Cinnamon who be worse. Because you know, it’s cinnamon,” he frowned, making a disgusted face. “Apricot juice, but this is the last scene.”

Ari nodded "You're right, definitely cinnamon. God imagine dying with such a rotten taste in your mouth." she quickly caught the edge of the blanket a threw it over her head, her hand grabbing James arm . "Tell me when I can look again okay ?" she said, her voice muffled by the blanket.
