Alice eventually goes home for the evening.

Bella goes up and sits in her room.

She has five hexes.

Five.

That's rather a lot of hexes.

She gets out her notebook, with the lists, and she makes some wishes.

And then she goes to bed, grinning.

In the morning it will be time to make plans.

"Whoa," he mutters out loud, and then adds by mage-phone, [You're awesome,] although the words are probably redundant next to how hard he is thinking it.
edgeofyourseat: Hand to back of head, uncertain. (⑾ whatcha doin' tonight)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-24 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[What if I have a really bad idea while you're asleep?] he wonders. Operating on the assumption that brain phones don't ring, because why would they: [Guess I'll call you the normal way.]

edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-24 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Although he expects that she could totally do it, because Bella is amazing, he also expects that it would be exactly as much of a headache as she seems to think.

[Yeah, good plan.]

Alice helps out as directed and basks happily in how much he loves her and how awesome she is.

It's not any one thing, but something in the general tone of her cooking has him asking, "Did you pentagon yourself?" after a little while.
edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

Alice observes the tea!

His mind wanders a little while it is in progress. He wants to hex himself invisibility powers, but doesn't feel any particular urgency about it, so resolves to wait until it comes up or until the next time he makes a bunch of hexes. He really likes the way Bella's butt looks in those pants.

The thought of more hexes links to the thought of Bella being attractive; he considers the notion of her hurting him. She probably won't want to do it the messy way. Directly wishing pain on yourself doesn't make you anything but hurt, and he has no idea whether that holds true for wishing it on other people; you can wish up something to hurt yourself with, though, so why not a superpower? That would be hot. And really, really convenient. No more burning himself on her stove; he can do it on his when he's in the mood.

How 'bout it? he wonders, not bothering to mindphone her because he can feel her listening.
edgeofyourseat: Confused or hurt. (⑿ never been born at all)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
He is happily listening and considering her words right up until she gets to the 'just friends' bit, at which point he becomes confused and kind of worried.

It goes something like this: just friends? As opposed to what? What's the difference? Wait, are just-friends not supposed to do stuff together that one of them might get off on? Because that sounds completely terrible and is almost functionally equivalent to never doing anything fun at all.
edgeofyourseat: Hand to back of head, uncertain. (⑾ whatcha doin' tonight)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
He wasn't! Until now it has genuinely never crossed his mind to define their relationship according to rules other than direct observation of what Bella does and doesn't seem to think is okay!
edgeofyourseat: Explaining or agreeing. (⑼ gotta be cool)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[...yeah,] he says. [Guess it shouldn't, huh?]

The example of the abandoned jar of lye in his basement comes to mind. None of Bella's stated objections to that were even tangentially related to the fact that he was going to get off on it - did she just not know? Maybe that list of his was not as complete as he thought.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, possibly fake, mildly creepy. (⑸ playful as a pussy cat)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[I really don't get you,] Alice concludes. Well, okay, that's not news. And he loves her for surprising him, even unpleasantly.
edgeofyourseat: Thoughtful. Possibly shirtless. (⑽ I kinda like it)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-09-25 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
He turns that one over in his head a few times.

It surprises him how much he misses the possibility. Way more than he misses the possibility of having any kind of actual sex with her, which is also something he would like very much if she ever felt like it, but isn't really something he spends much time thinking about. He is getting very, very wistful about the torture in a way he rarely ever gets about anything.

But Bella doesn't, in fact, feel like it. So that's that.

Alice shrugs.

[Oh—it'd probably be the best way to get fast coins, if we ever needed 'em,] he adds as an afterthought. Maybe later he'll burn a hex giving himself such a power and then see if using it on himself works for making coins with.
