"The dare was that June would drink a cocktail with no hesitation, or at least something close to that." He found a light switch and turned it on, illuminating the whole room. "It's a cocktail, what do you think I'm looking for?"
Devon shrugged, "a cocktailβ¦or something?"
( @EtherealDreamer )
Ronni smiled as he opened her door for her.
Her smile faded once she got into the car and he made his statement. She couldn't tell if he was in some way upset at her or notβ¦
"Sorryβ¦" she said quietly.
Devon shrugged, "a cocktailβ¦or something?"
Liam looked at him. "Or something what? a cocktail is a cocktail. if she doesn't want to drink though, I might be able to make it virgin." He opened a cooler under the sink in the kition and pulled out an empty bottle. "Nope." he said and pulled out another one "This one is empty too." he pulled out one more, this one full and unopened. "Finally. who leaves empty bottles in a cooler?" He slid the bottle into his bag and slung it over his shoulders once more. "Ready to go to the next place?" he asked Devon.

"She likes drinking." he shrugged, "and trick me into drinking also." he rolled, his eyes, "Drunk people leave empty bottles in the cooler" Devon shook his head.

Lucas gave her a bright smile.
"No worries, nothing to be sorry about," he told her, while clenching the steering wheel and keeping his eyes on the road. "I enjoyed it, actually."
Ronni's eyebrows shot up. There was no part of that whole experience where she thought he'd enjoy it. Maybe the hug, but she almost didn't want to think about that. She went quiet and still for a moment, before carefully asking "Why?"
"She likes drinking." he shrugged, "and trick me into drinking also." he rolled, his eyes, "Drunk people leave empty bottles in the cooler" Devon shook his head.
"so, you're not ready to go?" Liam asked looking at the door.
"so, you're not ready to go?" Liam asked looking at the door.
"Hm? nah Im good" he shrugged, walking to the door.
"Hm? nah Im good" he shrugged, walking to the door.
Liam followed behind and walked to the next room and pulled out his tools. "I just need a few more things. or at least a bottle of whisky."

"alright, lets hope we don't have to bust down any more doors" he joked.

Liam smile and opened the door. "Not all apartments have alcohol in them." He said and turned on the light. this apartment was an exact copy of the last one. "Do people just not decorate?" he asked looking around

"maybe they are to busy to" he shrugged. Devon walked around inside, to the bedroom, looking through the drawers.

"Tell me if you find anything." He half yield as Dev walked off. Liam wandered over to the fridge, opened it, and gasped. "DEVON!!!!" he yield. "I found a frozen bag of raspberries!" He took the bag out and opened it. I freaking love raspberries he thought to himself as he ate one.

Devon chuckled at the excitement in Liam's voice. "Good for you!" he yelled back, rummaging through the closet.

Lucas glanced at her and smiled.
"We got two dogs Ronni, why wouldn't I enjoy this short little quest." He teased and then fell silent.
"I would say the hug too, if you admitted it wasn't so bad, I don't want our only instance of physical affection to be strictly enjoyable in a one sided way."
He fell silent again and smiled more to himself than anything now.
"You give good hugs." He whispered, not blushing but staring straight ahead.
( @EtherealDreamer )
The hug hadn't been terrible, but Ronni certainly hadn't enjoyed it. The whole situation had been awful, and she did not want to repeat it.
Nearly shooting her friend was not how she liked to spend her afternoons.
"Prefer hugs with less shooting." she said quietly. She wasn't trying to discourage him, but she was a bit shaken from that ordeal.
Maybe if we try again later, with less life-threatening circumstancesβ¦
Devon chuckled at the excitement in Liam's voice. "Good for you!" he yelled back, rummaging through the closet.
He doesn't understand Liam thought to himself as he ate more of the berries went to offer some to Dev. "Would you like any?" he asked holding the bag out.
( @Davadio )
"I understand." Lucas said cheerily "not everyone is as touch starved as I am, anyways."
He kept driving, glancing at Ronni every once in a while and in the rearview mirror at Marti and Wally.
( @EtherealDreamer )
Ronni was definitely not touch starved. Anymore, it took a lot for her to want to be touched.
But⦠he is.
She thought about it for a bit, before gently reaching over and resting her hand on his shoulder, giving it a light squeeze.

Devon shrugged, taking one and eating it. "Thanks" He closed the closet door with a sigh.

"what's wrong?" He asked putting the bag into his bag.
"what's wrong?" He asked putting the bag into his bag.
"hm? oh..nothing, just can't find what I am looking for" Devon shrugged.
"hm? oh..nothing, just can't find what I am looking for" Devon shrugged.
"Well what are you looking for? Maybe I can help."
"Well what are you looking for? Maybe I can help."
"oh uh, doesn't matter." he muttered, brushing off the topic. Actually, he wasn't sure what he was looking for, but he definitely needed to find something. Maybe he just needed to take something.

"Oh. ok. Well, I'm here if you need it." Liam said and looked around the room. He wandered over to a desk and opened some of the draws.

"yeahβ¦thanks" he muttered, he looked at the desk, sitting on top was a broken pen. He picked that up and put it in his pocket, trying to do so without Liam seeing.

Liam closed the drawer he was looking in and moved to the next one. "What is your favoriteβ¦" He closed the drawer and turned around. "What is your favourite way to drink milk."
( @Davadio )
Lucas looked at her, his smile soft and his eyes quickly became brimmed with tears, he took one hand off the wheel to wipe his eyes and sniffed.
"Thank you for being my friend Ronni." He said appreciatively "I'm glad you're here."
( @EtherealDreamer )
Very touch starved, apparentlyβ¦
Ronni hadn't expected him to cry, but she smiled at him and squeezed his shoulder gently as they came up on the apartment building.
( @Davadio )
Lucas furiously wiped away the tears that weren't quite tears yet and pulled up to the curb, parking out front of the apartment buildings.
"Sorry," he said apologetically "I didn't mean to cry."
