/takes a sip of his drink before swallowing quickly to say.) no. please. i don’t need you to repay me. you can wave that around all you like, but i’m not going to take it. why is that? gone and been with too many women that their men are jealous and after you? /grins.) 8)))) where is she right now? many people become less lovely once you start living with them, though i’m sure i will find her just wonderful. unless you’re living with a crockety old lady who’s only pleasant towards you. /just facepalms lightly while smiling.) i don’t know where my mind is today. oh no, i’ve started watching how much i take my liquor after one night i woke up in a - like you said - a pink dress, and i heard from others that i danced on bar tables until i collapsed on some poor girl. i could sing it to the world outside on your balcony if you wanted. ;D

ah, yes. they don’t, and they’re not particularly gentle with me in general so, thank you for being so gentle with me. /regains composure and turns around to face him, shifts weight onto other leg.) right. it’s just, you know, i’m not used to have such, ah, attractive thirty-year-old men coming onto me so strongly. 8)) ;; 

/pursed-lip look. well, if you’re gonna give up that easily, it isn’t gonna be any fun. /stuffs tenner back into his pocket. wouldn’t you like to know. c; /all the death eaters he’s pranked over the years agkjsdlgsd. oh, “she” works as a nurse, so i reckon “she“‘s at work right now. i don’t really know the schedule./grins. oh yes, a crockety old lady. not pleasant to me or anyone. where do i find these people, huh? /raises his glass in mock toast and then takes a sip. ohhh, erek. /claps him on the back with his free hand. i’m sure we’ve all had the dancing-on-bar-tables-in-pink-dresses phases, you just need to build you tolerance. more importantly, though, are there any clips of that up on youtube? mmm, please do. there’s an unfortunate lack of people singing outside my balcony these days. pitiful.

/’oh please’ expression and waves hand around. i know how hard it must be for first-timers, so i accommodate. i take it i’m doing a good job, then? ;D oh, darling. /adoring look. you know me so well. to us and our glorious youth, then./raises glass and clinks it against erek’s.

[profchambers-blog]

no, no he didn’t, so i had to pay a little bit of extra for that as well. i felt bad. i - hehe, i wouldn’t have wanted you falling off and getting run over now, would i? /laughs.) as a matter of fact, i did. sorry about that. i promise i didn’t do anything else. /all of the gay jokes.) oh, you live with someone? will i ever get to meet this lovely lady? /LMFAOFKGJFKG.) you lived on a farm? i never meant for it to come out gay. it just .. came out. /hand gesture.) ooonly when i’m drunk, man. but that’s another story. we shouldn’t get into that. because i’m not gay! /laughs ; rubs back of neck.) tell me how that one goes, alright?

that’s what they all say, and yet it always turns out to be the exact opposite. /referring to needles LOL.) someone cleans it up for you? that, ah, downer-but-a-looker lady friend who lives with you? … /small blush ; grins to hide his mild embarrassment.) thank you. i - oh. /actually looks down to see if he needs to tuck in his shirt ; jumps a bit when his ass is grabbed.) … /thrown off a bit so now he’s just stunned and silent LOL ; like an awkward 8DD face.)

how much do i owe you for that? /takes out wallet. no -- no, don't contest me on this, it's my fault, i'm owning up for it. /extracts a ten-pound bill and gives it to erek. wow impressed u have muggle money nathan. well, you might not have, but i know a few who would. right, of course. /knowing ~sparkle n his eye and punches him lightly in the shoulder. /omg his grin is so big it's gonna fall off. maybe sometime, if you're lucky. but the "lovely lady" may not be as lovely as you've imagined her to be. ah, yes, once, back in the day. it was a cow of a time. right. that's what "freudian slip" means, my friend, and you've slipped once too many times today on the pinkness of your bum. do you? we'd make fantastic drunk buddies, then. 8) yeah, you should say that again. and louder. and i will! fill you in on all the dirty details. c;

well, maybe "they're" not using enough lube. ah yes, that..."friend" is a bit of a stickler when it comes to neatness. at least we're not living in a sty, though. /looks around and shrugs, taking a sip of his own drink. chin up, wright, that's not a good look for you. but yes, you can sleep with me if you can't get home. /just chuckles to self sdlkjlsd.

[profchambers-blog]

you ended up regurgitating all over the taxi. i didn’t think you’d be able to hang onto me on my bike in your condition, so i had to go back and get it after leaving you at home. the .. the who? /raises eyebrow ; LOLOL AAW.) ohh, you don’t want to know first-hand. do i want to know why you’ve been smelling pigs, nathan? 8) quite. ;D i .. i wouldn’t know what else i would want for my birthday. /ashdkjshdk.) i think i’d prefer you getting me cologne though, just to see what you would pick out for me. .. is that gay or .. ? /laughs.) only if the poor woman has awful eyesight.

that’s quite nice of you. thank you. :) i’m actually quite nervous, this being my first time. /glkfjghdfiughjdfgkdg 911 ; looks around.) nice. you’re neater than i thought. /looks at .. nearby .. art or something ; if nathan keeps anything on his wall.) just an early warning, mate, if i drink too much, i’ll have to sleep with you. /startles himself.) i mean sleep in your - at - at your place. here.

ahhh, right. i don't think the driver looked very happy about that. did you? awww, erek. /touched look. you are a compassionate human being, did you know that. did you piggyback me home? my ass did feel a bit stretched after that night, to be perfectly honest. oh...you know. /rolls eyes. the nagging woman who lives with me. bit of a downer, but a looker, so. /shrugs omg i think he loves giving everyone the wrong idea about who wes is. you bet i don't. not recently, no, but for the first eleven years of my life, every day, mate. /the perks of having grown up as a farmboy. /blinks. that is gay. that is very gay. are you sure you've never had the urge to suddenly wear sequins and pink? prance about singing show tunes? jesus, why haven't i taken you to the gay club before? hm, thanks for the tip. "pick up blind, old lady..." got it.

don't be, hon, it won't hurt a bit. /omg stop. yeah, well, i certainly don't keep it that way. /pouring him a drink and just laughs when he hears erek's FREUDIAN SLIP. /walks up to him and presses the glass into erek's hand. tuck your shirt in, buddy, your gay is showing. /reaches over and grabs erek's ass as he passes omg i'm so sorry.

[profchambers-blog]

/looks affronted. okay, that was like…once. and the only reason why you had to “rescue” me is because i was piss drunk and didn’t know land from sea. what about that time i had to pick up your tab, hm? get sick of mansmell? /scoffs. never. why thanks, as i thought. ;DD i’m not normal? i’m the most normal of normal. i’m the most normal you’re ever gonna get, mister. ‘course you are, young and sprightly and…still got a full head of hair and all that. i envy you young people. /shakes head. yeah, well. it’s okay, i guess.

‘course it’s a promise. and i never go back on my promises. ;D yeah, well, i was thinking i could maybe get all these people to join in, you know. but if you prefer a private showing. /hooks his arm under erek’s. let’s go!

[erekw]

/apologetic smile.) ah, yes, you’re right. that was only one time. i hope it’ll be the only time i will have to rescue you, for your sake. and mine. that was a rather amusing night, if i do say so. i do. and being around other men, you would, too. mate, you are quite far from normal, but i prefer my friends that way. you’ve nothing to fear! 8) /instinctively runs a hand through his hair and smiles.) i intend on keeping it this way for as long as i can. it’ll fall out sooner or later, all this stress on the field. /grins.) you don’t need to tell the others how old you are. ;D

oh. great. /now making a face LLOL.) i would much prefer a private showing. /winks ; allows himself to be taken somewhere else; trusts nathan to know that he was joking around heee.) your place? wait, wait, i’m not ready. i haven’t had enough liquor to do this. /you getting drunk is never a good idea, erek.)

[profchambers-blog]

yeah, amusing for you, maybe. didn't i end up puking into someone's car? and the hangover i got the next day...i had to sucker the ole ball and chain into slippin' some aspirin into my juice that morning. /omg he's referring to wes help. and fine, i'll give you that. i can only imagine the combined manstink of army men, and i've smelled pigs that smell better. really? looks like we're in good company, then. /pats his back. awww, no. how about this -- i'll get ya rogaine for your next birthday. best present ever, or what? hm, true true. you think saying that i'm twenty-five is pushin' it? 

don't you worry, i'll ease you in nice and simple. /winks and nudges help. ah, here we are. the humble abode. /unlocks door with key, swings it open. welcome, welcome.

[profchambers-blog]

okay, you’re reliable, but i think we can both agree i’ve come through for you more than you have for me. 8))) just think of all the times i’ve rescued you. /laughs.) i wear that every day when i’m on the field. you get sick of it, you know? but no, no, of course it suits you. you’re positively manly. you stink of .. man smell. /stifles a laugh.) normal people, nathan. /smirks ; WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.) aren’t i young? i’m still young, right? /shakes head.) i quite like this. the cologne, i mean. 

/reaches up and pats nathan’s hand while it’s on his cheek ; just smiles.) next time, then. is that a promise? i’ll have to take you up on that. /glances around.) now? if you’re confident with all these people, in the middle of the street, ehehe. wouldn’t you prefer someplace a little more private?

/looks affronted. okay, that was like...once. and the only reason why you had to "rescue" me is because i was piss drunk and didn't know land from sea. what about that time i had to pick up your tab, hm? get sick of mansmell? /scoffs. never. why thanks, as i thought. ;DD i'm not normal? i'm the most normal of normal. i'm the most normal you're ever gonna get, mister.

i already do doubt your abilities. /teasing smile.) .. ? /stands still ; eyes widen a little in amusement.) i wear cologne, because i like it and it makes me feel .. comfortable, for lack of a better word. /nonchalant.) besides, i’m fairly sure some people like it, besides me. maybe you should try some. i’m sure if it’s added to your charm, the ladies won’t be able to resist you ;). /pretends to be offended.) i do shower! twice, if i can, depending on where i’ve gone. you don’t look a day over thirty. ;D

/lol yup just swats his hand away; when erek says 'you've got me blushing' just reaches over with his free hand and pinches him on the cheek LOL. yeah, me too, bud. what a shame. next time, huh? /winks. we could...always do the free show now? /blinks and shrugs.
