239/240 - Friday evening

[notcalledlizzie]

Elizabeth returned to her room happily ladden down with books. Lots and lots of books.

She'd also grabbed the post on the way up, and idly wondered what Janet had ordered from Logitech. She dropped the box on the bed and moved to the bookshelves, ready to reorder them.

"I didn't think you were," said Janet quietly, looking down at her lap. "Either averse to it or that far gone."

Elizabeth turned to face Janet's leg. "At this rate, we'll end up doing it sober one day, won't we?" she said, her voice muffled.

[janet_fraiser]

"Maybe," said Janet, running a hand through Liz's hair. "Would that be a bad thing?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I'd be odd," Elizabeth admitted, relaxing under Janet's touch. "We wouldn't be able to hide behind the alcohol. I wouldn't be able to hide from myself."

[janet_fraiser]

"It would be odd," agreed Janet, trailing her fingers over the skin at the nape of Liz's neck. "Not hiding that way. But what wouldn't you be able to hide from yourself, hon?"

"Because I tell myself that I only did it because I was drunk," Elizabeth explained quietly.

[janet_fraiser]

"That's what I tell myself too," Janet said. "And we were pretty drunk, after all. But maybe it'd be okay if we weren't?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Elizabeth said hesitantly. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes."

[janet_fraiser]

"We can stick with the getting drunk for a while yet," said Janet. "Trust me."

"Good," Elizabeth said with feeling. She lifted her head to smile at Janet, before sitting up and wrapping an arm around her waist.

[janet_fraiser]

"Hey," said Janet, snuggling close. "This is comfortable."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Mmm, definitely," Elizabeth agreed, locking her arms around Janet.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet smiled slowly. "Are you having a good night?" she asked.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"It's definitely getting better," Elizabeth said, grinning. "How about you?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Aside from being slightly embarrassed, it's been good." Okay, maybe not slightly. Janet dropped the webcam back into the box and leaned over to put it on the floor. "I may die of mortification the next time I talk to Daniel, though."

Elizabeth tried not to snicker, but failed. "I can't believe he did that," she admitted.

[janet_fraiser]

"I had no idea he was into that," confessed Janet. "Um. Though I guess I can't talk."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth giggled. "Not if you started it, no."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet blushed again. "I had no idea I was into that either, if that makes sense," she said.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"It does," Elizabeth nodded, grinning.

[janet_fraiser]

"Can I stop feeling awkward now?" asked Janet plaintively.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded. "Need me to help?" she asked.

[janet_fraiser]

"Definitely," said Janet, smiling sheepishly.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth started to massage Janet's lower back. "And just exactly how would you like me to help?" she asked, her voice low.

[janet_fraiser]

"Mmm," said Janet, leaning back into Liz's touch. "Well, this is a good start..."
