Pick Your Poison, Monday

Now that Valentine's Day was over, it was time to do a serious deep dive into inventory. Time to see what sold, what didn't, what the family should make more of, what they should make less. Between going over the stock, going over the ingredients, and then going over the numbers, Adrian was pretty sure he had a good week's worth of work ahead of him. Probably for the best to get it done while the island was all but emptied; if he was going to ignore the world to throw himself fully into bookkeeping, probably best to do it when there weren't any distractions around.

Adrian was having trouble picturing the very intense and focused Pam with the very flighty (seeming?) Harley, he wasn't going to lie.

"Yes," he said, grabbing her cup like a good minion and following her. "My family makes them."

She was going through them now with a less than delicate touch, picking one up then setting it aside and grabbing another. Her fingers were coated in glitter already.

"'s funny," Harley said. "Never thought Red would be into bath stuff... She's really goin' through something."

"I mean, she mostly cares what goes into it and making sure that it's not polluting the Earth," Adrian said. "I don't think she cares overmuch for the products themselves...? How long as you been looking for her anyway?"

He didn't think Harley would care about the abrupt topic change. Call it a hunch.

"Months. I've been allll over. Even saw the world's biggest ball of twine," Harley said. She looked at Adrian over her shoulder. "She's coming back here, right?"

"She should be," Adrian said. "She was just running some errands and this island isn't that big."

Unless she turned chicken and ran. Dammit, Pam, don't you do it!
gotthatphd: (harley - hmm)

"Okay."

Harley put the little purple bomb back... Sort of where she found it.

"Good. 'Cause Pammy needs me."

"What makes you say that?" Adrian asked, immensely curious about her side of things.
gotthatphd: (harley - hmm)

[personal profile] gotthatphd 2025-02-24 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
"She's eatin' herself alive when she doesn't need to be," Harley said, tapping the side of her head. "She's not always good at figurin' out her own noggin, you know?"
witchoftheflesh: (Talking - Serious)

[personal profile] witchoftheflesh 2025-02-24 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Adrian said. "She's got a lot of guilt built up and twisting herself in circles trying to deal with it."

"Yeah! So now I'm here to--"

Harley jerked at the sound of the door slamming open.

Pam had gotten the texts. She'd read them. She hadn't bothered responding. Why would she?

Harley was here.

She flung open the door to her shop, and-- just. Stopped. In the doorway.

Because. That was Harley.

That was Pam.

"I got your letters," Harley said, eyes wide. And then, after a second: "... Are ya gonna say something? 'Cause I drove all this way from Gotham--"
joan_of_bark: (pam: kissy hearts)

[personal profile] joan_of_bark 2025-02-24 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
She said nothing because there was nothing to say. You already know my heart. I showed you everything - the darkest corners of myself - and you still came back.

Pam practically tackled her. She grabbed Harley by the waist and tugged her in, found her lips with her own.

Home.

What else is love?

And, uh, Adrian was also here.

He was just gonna...you know. Go back and get very involved with his bookkeeping. Not that he disapproved of the reunion or the physicality of it. Get it, Pam. He was just pretty sure neither of them wanted someone hanging around watching this intensely intimate and personal reunion.

(Assuming they were cognizant of him right now, which he wasn't putting high odds on.)
joan_of_bark: (pam: sex)

[personal profile] joan_of_bark 2025-02-24 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Pam - and Harley, for that matter - had absolutely completely forgotten he existed.

At least the kiss didn't go on for too long? But only because Pam had grabbed Harley by the hand, and was already tugging her towards the back.

They vanished through the door into the back moments later, massive smiles on their faces. Not long after that, Adrian would find out how thin the walls were in here.

Adrian couldn't help but smile over his shoulder towards the back of the building. Good job, Pam. Way to not let your issues get in the way of a proper reunion.

You know, his paperwork could wait. He felt like treating himself to a very, very long lunch.

And was just gonna flip the sign to 'Closed' as he went.
