2020-04-25 - Virtual Hangouts - L and Seamus

Elena had been so glad she was finally over her after  sick feeling. She was positively beaming as she carefully  pull her hair out if her curlers. She arranges her hair in a half ponytail with the looser bits in beautiful  curls.  She is a more informal  cream colored blouse and beige wool skirt. Her version of around the house. She has a more  simple ascot with a heart locket brooch  .  She is pulls out her tablet pulling  up her Skype app and clicks on Shays name awaiting  to see if he'd answered 

Seamus had to admit that he was glad to be back in his own room.  Having ‘his own place’ was probably nicer when you weren’t sicker than a dog.  The weeks of sickness and recovery had taken its toll on him, but he was coming back.  Since the isolation order wasn’t Draconian, people were allowed to go out and Seamus had just returned from his first run and workout since before he’d started feeling sick.  Now he was home, fed and freshly showered.  He was settling down on his bed, preparing his mind for the day's lessons.  Playing catch-up with his homework.  But before he can get started, he hears the Skype notification and L’s name.  He clicks and sits back, wearing nothing but his sweatpants, so he is bare chested.  Behind him are hockey posters, neatly attached to the wall.  “Hey L!  What’s up?”  he smiles.  It had been a while and the last time hed talked to L they had both been sick.

Elena just smirks abit then smiles approving. Though Shay was her bestfriend, Elena still had eyes ans could appreciate the male  physique. She just chuckles and and smiles . "Did i interrupt  an zing" She teases him abit jovially. After cat calling abit she stops ans chuckles.. " I was just wondering  where you were and how you're doing. She smiles "and if you wanted to do a virtual  hangout 

Seamus’s face lights up.  “Hey, bud!”  he laughs.  “I wish.  Too much family too close for me to get up to anything worth interrupting before midnight.”  he winks.  “I’m great and I’d love a virtual chat.  I need to see if you’re up on the latest in Reinhardt gossip.  It’s not about ME, for a change.”  he seems very happy, although that could just be part of being healthy again.  “How are YOU doing?  All better I hope, or are you just dressing to make yourself feel better?”

She chuckle at his winking shaking her head but she mouths a oh lala "but your gossip is the only gossip zats worth knowing.  You know i live vicariously through you." She waves her hand "but whatever  it is has you  all glow..you look very  happy and you  been appy makes s me happy,mon ami. She pulls up a cup of tea "soo spill ze tea as i drink mine. She smirked then beams wide "Darling, Im more zen better in blooming  amazing. You know all zis  overcoming sickness and now getting to talk to you which i miss has me over ze moon. I have my own appy gossip but you first "

Seamus laughs.  “This Is VERY true.” he says about his gossip.  He leans back.  “Well, with the stay-at-home shit, I haven’t been able to get out.  But now that I’m better, I can get back to working out, so I don’t wind up a fat boy.”  he slaps at his solid abs.  “You already know that Fi and Vincent are engaged .. and healthy again too.”  he pauses.  “But … I don’t think you know about Owen.”  he considers and then just outs with it.  “His girlfriend is pregnant.”  he snorts.  “Talk about a shock.  Everyone figured I’d be the one to knock someone up before I hit 20.”

Elena just chuckle softly "maybe this covid is good for ze hearts and bodies or ze female population.  I member xarefully how you go through  zim like tissue.  She chuckles "honest to say i was impressed and entertained  by your regaling of your juiciest of conquests.. dont know ehat that says about me.. but zey all were more zen willingly  and zey got a good time so everyone..won in zat situation " She chuckles  then sips her tea. She smiles as he claps his flat ab.."very nice what workout you doing.. im toned up bit i could use abit definition.. i live my corsets for body shaping but you  know i love a goo core workout. "

Her brow arches as he mentioned owen.. that seem like ions ago she was with him "Wow.. didnt know he had it in him.. other zen my trust  issue .you known i was afraid i scare  him off if did what i really wanted to do.. "she looks pensive  and shrugs . Then looks at Shay chuckle "i know right.. i zought you be the first but you were always  careful  in zat manner or ze luckiest  bastard that walk ze face of the earth. " 

She doesn't  look upset at all as that was a distant  pass and she was in the process  of moving  on.she smiles "look at you..a uncle..god help your  neice or nephews  soul.." she jokes "well im appy for you  since you  have that usual  glow you from  get luckky but amplify..so i know youre  very appy" she claps happy for her bestfriend

Seamus snorts.  “I wasn’t THAT bad… unless compared to Owen.”  he argues.  “YOU, I could talk to, because YOU know how to keep your mouth fucking shut.  If my mother or Fiona .. or like Uncle Mike’s wife .. if they knew the half of it, they’d probably castrate me.  But I could talk to you and you didn’t judge me.”  he then takes a look at her and nods.  “I’m not wearing a corset.  Thanks anyway.”  L moves on to the subject of Owen.  “I know, right?  I was pretty sure he was gonna die a virgin.”  he blinks.  “What did you want to do with MY brother?”  he laughs.  “Cause you sure kept him at enough of a distance.”  he arches his brow.  “I’m careful because I do NOT want to be a father.  I have three siblings, One of who is about to have a kid and Fiona … I think they’re gonna do it sooner or later, but they’re pretty careful.  But I know about kids.  I helped take care of Olivia .. Daisy’s kid.  SO if nothing else I won’t be useless to Owen.”  he rolls his shoulders.  “So what else is up?”

Elena chuckles  "you were that bad  " she say in mock joking manner" just kidding you are Shay .. open and want u see is what  you get but that what made me nearly instantly trust you. You were so honest  and open and rawr. It was quiet refreshing… "she beams to him "it help put a pick axe to the walls i had build around.. course.. it did help to have addy, fiona ans owen to help drill thatbpoint ro.. she looks down "i realize  that way way too late.. but you.  You were there show me it was okay to trust..simce you put your  trust in me " she looks in so happy owen now has someone worth having ans wotb giving hes sweet heart to .. i did keep him and anyone at a distance..

Seamus chuckles.  “I don’t know … Being open is just who I am.  Maybe a little of it was trying to set myself apart from every other Rinhardt in the world.”  he considers.  “We helped?”  he chuckles.  “I mean Fi and Owen have the patients of like .. all the Irish Catholic saints.  Me and Addy not so much but Addy … she barely had a fuse at all.”  he waggles his eyebrows.  “Ya know I think both me and Owen had a crush on her at some point.  I know I did.”  he rolls his shoulders.  “Well no worries.  Seriously.  This girlfriend of Owens seems like a nice lady.  I think Kurt had it right … he’s an old soul, so he should be with an older woman.  They’re happy.  She’s moving here with her other kid.  I’ve honestly never seen him this happy like … ever.  Happy And secure .. for a change.”  he makes a show of dusting his hands.  “Three out of four happy, in love and committed Reinhardts is a good record.”

She just chuckles as he goes about his family loving how he light up as he is happy for his brother "oh shay that warms my heart . Im happy for this new brightness and new Reinhardt coming  to ze world " she claps her hand once "and foe ze happiness in your family.." she sighs content beaming for her bestfriend  . Then laughs softly "oh you Shay are one of kind and you look happy because you are in your  element . She looks thoughtful then beams " you dont necessary  need that if that what you want but to quote ze band Fun" Tonight,we are young . Well set this world on fire "she sings 

Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight, we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got, I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a tab
'Cause I found someone to carry me home


Seamus enjoys the song and sits back, resting his head on the wall.  “Well, I’ll survive isolation.   No sex BUT I’m happy to be breathing.  Besides I need to get my fat ass into shape.  SO I need to keep studying … I’m gonna graduate at the top of my class, you know.  Or near it.  If I can catch up, that is.”


She watches him abit then chuckles "exactly.. got to be alive to have a sex life..so oui.. "she jokes " oh yeah you're really letting  yourself go..mr 6 sixpack "  she says in a mock tone .She chuckles rolling her eye but her smile show how much  she approves of his commitment to his training.  She nods as he goes on about his study "i know as much as you  put in your  training  you have that drive to make to the top.,mon ami. What do you plan on studying for college ..any plans. " she say interested  as she leans in eagerness 

Seamus chuckles.  “Healthy body.  Healthy mind.”  He grins and when she asks what he plans to study, he replies immediately.  “Architecture.  I helped Mint Portia … you probably don't know him, since he showed up after you left.  He’s an architect that trained under Adam Brate, the mayor's Dad.  “So when I graduate I’m going to apply at BCU and get started on that.”

L chuckles at his mantra and nods "Damn right" she say soflty "that sounds like an opportunity for a career that has such promise and potential for  helping people and creating wonderful zing" she say soflty then she sips her tea. "I want ti help people. I just going  to finish my finall year of secondary before i go on to a music therapy major..i dont which college  yet. She smiles "i use music to help people." she offers bravery  as she opens abit up even though he hadnt ask yet.

Seamus grins.  “Yea.  I hadn’t thought about it like that.”  then he looks a little confused at the sound of L’s voice.  “Music therapy sounds like a good thing.”  he says.  “I mean, I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but India Tor’s concerts really seem to help around here.  And Aqoustic Spirit.  They used to do concerts in the park once a week while we were in that fog.  Really lifted spirits, cause .. sometimes it was really scary .. not knowing what was happening.  If we’d ever reconnect to the world again.  Now that we have, they’re doing it again.  Daisy told me they do the same in the Bottoms.  Quentin and his kid.”  he shrugs.  “So yea .. be a music therapist.  Why not?”

She smile"that sounds  nice . They arr great musicians  im.glad they could be of help. I can only imagine what you lot been through"She looks concerned the frowns at his confused look "is there anything the matter mon ami .. " her voice reflects  her concern for her friend. She remembered  how frantic her dad was when he finally could get ahold her.. she didnt wonder why shay did call her frantic.. she knew her walla  distance to them was the likely  reason she wasnt someone they were bursting to..that and she could only imagine what they were going  through.  .She smiles encouraging at him "you look confuse.

Seamus shrugs.  “Not confused more ….”  he pauses to try and find the words.  “You sounded … defensive .. like you thought I’d say the idea was stupid or something.”  he scoffs.  “Trust me I know that tone.  I hear it a lot when people still think I am just a bunch of muscle and no fucking brain.”

She looks at him and in a understanding calm tone say "i never thought  you were just muscles" she smiles "youve shown me what insightful, kind and intelligent person you are. You got me to see that people  can be trusted" she smiles "ive alway valued that about you and anyone that thinks you're dumb"she looks at him with earnest sincerity "well i wouldn't take much stock in what they had to stay. Her eyes are warm but serious 

Seamus smiles.  “I know you didn’t.”  he tells her.  “And I don’t know if I was even trying.  I mean … I got you to try out for the hockey team and all and I thought the rest just … happened.”  he smirks.  And leans back, giving a mock look of pleasure.  “Oh baby .. that’s right .. stroke .. my … ego ….”  and he cracks up, managing a “Just kidding…”  between guffaws.

L starts to look touch before he starts his mock orgasm then look mock sick "quick  some get you a room an me a bucket. Damn Shay! are  that randy…  getting off on that .. my ego stroking .she says  in jest with smile "well the hockey was fun though.."she tries to cover up her laughter. "You are a hot mess mon ami but wouldn't  have you any other way. She chuckles loudly displaying  a grin from ear to ear

Seamus laughs along.  “I’m fine.”  he protests.  “Some of my showers are longer than they should be, but shit …  I’m also the only Reinhardt not getting any at all from anyone.”  he smiles.  “Hockey is always fun.”  he leans back again.  “I’m glad you came back, L.”  he finally says.  “But I need to go.  I check in on Daisy every couple days and things have been so weird around here, I’m late.  But definitely keep in touch.”  he smiles.  “Good to have my friend back.”

L just laugh "you arent the only one using up all the water in their  household . She grimaces in sympathy to his problem. "But still eww tmi" she say laughing in  friendly "im glad i did too. I miss my confidant..you have fun with this daisy. Call me when you can ans she goes to end the skype call.
