Fixer-Uppers [all day]

Ben had been working quite happily on his datapad for an hour without incident.

Then he accidentally clicked on an ad and ended up in an endless loop of quizzes ("Do You Care Too Much?" "What Kind of Lover Are You?" "Are You With the Right Person?" "The Kinsey Test Made Simple!!1!").

"Go away, go away, go away..." Ben muttered, blushing hard.

Fixer-Uppers was open! And embarrassed.

"Ah," Ender said, "The old 'lock myself in until I starve with my newly-acquired possessions' strategy."
momslilassassin: ([pos] pleased with self)

"It could use a little bit of tweaking," he admitted, "but the basic premise is sound."

You could see little frowny lines forming on Ender's forehead as he tried to decide whether he should laugh or change the subject to something a little more serious.

Finally, he laughed. He sounded slightly discombobulated by it.
momslilassassin: ([pos] i think you're adorable)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben reached out to ruffle Ender's hair. "Look at that," he teased. "You can laugh."

If he seemed entirely too pleased with himself for accomplishing that, well.
endsthegame: (might be mocking you)

"I think that wasn't ever in question," Ender said, dryly, though there were still little amused dimples by his mouth. "The way you avoid making sense is truly astounding."
momslilassassin: ([pos] watching you)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's a gift," Ben said airily.
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ender snorted softly, shaking his head. "Anything else I missed in the four hours since I last saw you?" A beat. "Saying that really makes me feel like we're living in each other's pockets."
momslilassassin: ([pos] I can smirk too)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe a little," Ben agreed. "I could send you messages about when I stop for coffee if you absolutely insist upon it?"
endsthegame: (problematic relationship with the world)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't forget all the times you go to the toilet," Ender advised, "or when you pass wind."

Ender could be weird, too. Weirdoes.
momslilassassin: ([pos] dorky grin in a scarf)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben burst out laughing. "But I wanted to keep some of the mystery alive," he said.
endsthegame: (might be mocking you)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then don't tell me about the breathing," Ender suggested, "Leave a little of it intact."
momslilassassin: ([pos] adorkable)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Heartbeats, too, I imagine," Ben mused.
endsthegame: (being attentive)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Can you count those?" Ender asked, briefly breaking character.
momslilassassin: ([pos] suuuuuit)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben thought about it. "I might have to set up an automated program to update you."
endsthegame: (comic: analyzing data)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, I mean, through Jedi discipline," he corrected. "A lot of it is self-awareness, I'd imagine."

Well. Of a certain kind, anyway.
momslilassassin: ([neu] pensive)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, yeah, I can do that," Ben said. "I can slow my heart rate down, too."
endsthegame: (Default)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Interesting," Ender said.

Then, in an attempt to salvage the ridiculous banter: "But don't get me a Ben heart-rate monitor. I have limits."
momslilassassin: ([pos] grin)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"And probably limits on your texting for the month, too," Ben said, grinning.
endsthegame: (looking askance)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because that's what I spend most of my days doing," Ender said, dryly, "Texting. You're finally on to me."
momslilassassin: ([neu] coat)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben snickered. "Well how else would you keep up with all of the entertainment news?"

Because Ender really cared about Hollywood stars. It's true.
endsthegame: (offish)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That made him snort - a far cry from his genuine laugh earlier, but still. "Who's married to who now?" he asked. "I never got that."
momslilassassin: ([pos] i don't belieeeeeeeve you)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I can't keep track of it on this planet, but I know all about the ones in my galaxy," Ben lied.
endsthegame: (is giving you the sideways look)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"That explains why you watch so much mind-numbing television here."
momslilassassin: ([pos] tiny smile)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-02-06 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well that's because I don't need to sleep a lot and there's nothing on at two in the morning," Ben replied.
endsthegame: (determined set)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-02-06 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"You mean you can't sleep a lot," Ender corrected, lightly. "I have the same malfunction as you do, Skywalker, no need to pack it up in pretty words."
