canon is Being Human (US)

[fangbangs]

What - no, I'm not going to 'kiss Sally already'. I have a girlfriend, okay? Kat, remember her? You said you liked her. And that's not even touching that - other thing that happened. [Like who just stepped out of a taxi in dat finale]

Is this about me asking her to the movies? Because all things considered, I'm pretty sure that the least I could do would be to spend some time with her. That's called being a friend. Boys and girls can do that this century without being accused of wanting to make out, you know.

[reapercussion]

So. [Yeah, this is an awkward conversation.] That sure did happen, didn't it? [With your wife. Yup.]

All things considered, it's a little hard to kiss a ghost. Trust me, I've already tried to figure that all out. Even with other ghosts, it's sort of like energies pressing against each other. [Sally pauses.] To be fair, though, I am a great kisser. You're missing out on all of this. [Gesturing to herself now. Because making it a joke makes it less awkward, right?]

[fangbangs]

[Scrubbing his hands over his face because uuuuuuugh too many emotions to even know where to start with that. Guess who's getting ignored!]

Yeah, they've already gone over how to deal with that one. [Waving his hand in a way this is supposed to indicate - well, us. He narrows his eyes at her slightly] I am so not going there with you. Seriously.

[reapercussion]

[She frowns a bit. Not so much because she's being ignored but because, hey Aidan. Didn't we already have this conversation about not talking? Yeah.]

Yeah, but you know. They can forget or change their minds. It's known to happen right. [8D?] Seriously? Are you going to start choking up again, because that's always really adorable. If what I've heard from the women you've brought home, I'd say you're pretty good at it, too. Among other much louder things.

[fangbangs]

[And he has absolutely already broken that one.]

Yeah, I think the chances of that one happening are slim to none, at this point. [And he chokes] I'm not - I am not adorable. And you - have you been listening to me having sex? Really? Come on, Sally.

[reapercussion]

[She just sighs. Sucks to be them. Or maybe not. Who knows.] See what I mean. The little stuttering thing, that's cute. It's probably why Kat likes you so much. You use that to reel the girls in and then bam. Sealing the deal and getting that ass. [Word vomit. Seriously.] I'm dead. I don't have a lot of other things to do. Also, between you and Josh, like. Really. It's loud.

[fangbangs]

I do not stutter. And Kat likes me fore my charm and good looks and - knowledge of eighteenth century American history. I didn't reel her in by tripping over my words. I'm not Josh. [Oh god, did he just say 'reel her in'? Sally you are contagious]

I am not having this conversation with you.

[reapercussion]

It's like stuttering. Close enough, I think. Oh, yes. How could I have forgotten the sex appeal of the 1700s? Powdered wigs and wooden teeth and George Washington. [She presses the back of her hand to her forehead, as though she's swooning.] You and Josh have two totally different ways of tripping over words. [It's a fact. It happens. You're both adorable.]

Friends can talk about sex.

[fangbangs]

Has anyone ever told you you're impossible, before? Because you are impossible. And I didn't have a powdered wig, or any wooden teeth. [He's shaking his head, but there's a fondness to his voice.] Yes. Because Josh trips over them, and I don't.

They can. I just don't want to.

[rhinemaid]

Without wanting to, yes. Without the accusation, rarely.

This guy is a werewolf Beta FYI.

[lurkerwolf]

[This guy doesn't smell human. It's barely a smell at all. Derek gives the man a very suspicious look.]

People often jump to conclusions.

[reapercussion]

It's come up once or twice, but I think that just really adds to my charm. After all, I'm the Sally you all fell in love with. [8DDD] This whole conversation has been you tripping over them, Aidan.

You're embarrassed, aren't you? Look, if we treat it like nothing, they will, too. [No, Sally. Not happening.]

[fangbangs]

[Sally please don't mention falling in love in the context of this conversation please]

Charm's one word for it.

I'm not embarrassed. I just really wish you weren't listening to me have sex. And I'm pretty sure they're both gearing up to do the exact opposite of treating this like nothing.

[fangbangs]

I was kind of hoping this would be one of the rare cases.

[fangbangs]

[Aidan, on the other hand, smells wolf. He watches the other guy warily, but not suspiciously]

This is more like a flying leap than a jump.

[rhinemaid]

Well, some people find baseless optimism charming, I guess.

[reapercussion]

[Hey. You said it to her.]

You don't think I have charm?

[A grin.] It's not like I'm intentionally going, oh I see Aidan is having sex, let me hover around his door like some spectral pervert. No, you just don't have any respect for everyone else in the house. [This is the best conversation ever for her.] Speaking of. You're not seriously going to keep dating someone you just compelled, are you?

[fangbangs]

[He didn't know random people on the internet would take it out of context!!!]

I think you have too much charm. I just don't think any of it is being applied right now.

[He's going to avoid the sex thing entirely, but he almost thinks he prefers it in the face of that second comment] Technically, I didn't compel her.

[fangbangs]

[Aidan just blinks before his features rearrange themselves into a polite and totally insincere smile] I'm sorry, do I know you?

[rhinemaid]

No, I keep track of which vampires I'm acquainted with.

[ solemnly. ]

[reapercussion]

[It's the internet, Aidan. Don't you know anything?]

I think I'm being charming right now. Down right adorably charming.

[Okay, she reigns it in a little bit though, because this is serious, and Aidan has a serious problem. Like always.] You had her compelled, though. It's the same thing.

[fangbangs]

Yeah, I'm bowled over. [Driest tone.

And avoidance is go!] I didn't have her compelled to like me, or anything. Just to forget, you know. The sight of your rotting corpse.

[reapercussion]

[Aidan, oh my God, she can't believe you right now. She closes her eyes briefly as she takes a deep breath before opening them again.] Okay, see. It sort of is like compelling her to like you, Aidan. [There's a slightly moment of hesitation before she reaches her hand out, brushing her fingers over his. Yay, solid ;3;] She didn't like you because of my rotting corpse, and now she does. Because you erased that from her mind.

[lurkerwolf]

And why is that?
