The Perk, Thursday

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron is early when he gets into the Perk. His visit to the clinic had been shorter than expected, but at least he knows there's nothing physically wrong with him. He hopes. He looks down at his hands but as his whole world is grey, it's kinda hard to tell if he's losing colour too.


((Cameron's here to meet up with Izzy, feel free to use the post for your own Perkly needs.))

It doesn't take long for Isabel to get to the Perk after 2nd period. She waved at Cam where he was waiting at a table before stopping at the counter and getting two hot chocolates and some muffins. Order in hand, she went to the table and took a seat. "Here you go, your prize," she smiled.

"Thanks," Cameron grinned and picked up the cup. "Tell me, do I look grey to you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nope, perfectly in color Cam," she said as she pulled the wrapper off a muffin. "What did the doctor say?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"That there's nothing wrong with my eyes and he thinks it might be magical," he relaxed a bit and took a sip from his cocoa. "And then that maybe I picked it up from those monochrome girls in the ."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"See, I told you it was probably magical." She broke off a piece of the muffin and went to eat it before stopping suddenly. "Wait a minute, he thinks you got it from Crazy Hooker?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nearly choked on his cocoa as that just sounded wrong. "I didn't sleep with any of them!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel snickered, "And I didn't say you did. Maybe you picked something up at the movie day? Some weird monochrome virus?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"The doc would have picked up on a virus," he shrugged. "Maybe it will wear off. Being furry did too."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I hope so," she said. And then grinned, "In the meantime you better ask Charlie to check that your clothes match in the morning."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron snorted. "Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure he's going to be thrilled about colour coordinating my wardrobe."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for your friends."

Isabel toyed with her napkin and wondered if she should ask about what Cam had said to Marty in the gym.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I think Kawalsky is more for the neck saving sacrifices," Cameron chuckled and leaned over to steal a piece of her muffin. Yes, he was obnoxious today.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She smiled and grabbed a fork, "Michael used to steal muffins from me. At least until I stabbed him with a fork."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

His hand stopped short of the muffin. He looked from Izzy to her muffin and then to the extra one she had brought. He wriggled his fingers a bit. "You wouldn't."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Putting her hand protectively over her muffin, she said "Mine." And then pushed the other muffin towards Cam. "Yours."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He pouted, but finally snagged up his muffin and took a big bite from it. Then, mouth kinda full he asked. "Can we get them nametags?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, it seems like something you'd need for a more permanent relationship." She shrugged, "Personally I don't plan on spending longer then the next ten or fifteen minutes with it." Daintily, she broke off a small piece and popped it in her mouth.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"And in its shortlived life with you, you refuse to grant it the honour of a nametag?" Cameron sighed and looked at his muffin. "That's just cruel, don't you think Mrs McMuffins?" He really wasn't so good at naming things.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Mrs. McMuffins?" Isabel asked with a raised eyebrow. "I generally try not to name anything I'm going to eat. That's just weird."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron took another bite. "The only thing that's weird is that I'll never know her true colour."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Her true color is a lovely shade of chocolate brown," Isabel said. "Just like any other chocolate chocolate chip muffin."

"Can I ask you a question?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"It's just not the same as seeing it," Cameron sighed dramatically. "Sure."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"How's your dad doing?" she asked quietly. "I heard what you said to Marty this morning."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Goofy mood gone, Cameron put the last of Mrs McMuffins on the table. "As well as can be expected."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel took a sip of her hot chocolate before asking, "And how about you?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine," he said simply and took a long drink.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sure," she said. "The offer still stands you know."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Which one?" He put the cup on the table and poked at the muffin.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"The one where I offered to listen if you ever felt like talking," she said as she watched him poke at the muffin.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing to talk about," he replied, sounding terse. He sighed as he caught his own tone and rubbed a hand through his hair. "But thanks."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"If you say so." She'd learned when to back off by dealing with Michael for all those years. "But the offer stands."

Unsure of what to say next and since Mrs. McMuffin seemed to be nothing but crumbs, she pushed the remains of her muffin across the table. "Want some?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He shook his head. "No, that's yours and who knows what colour it is."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She rolled her eyes. "It's the lovely shade of brown associated with a perfect banana nut muffin. And I'm offering to share."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Mrs McMuffins would get jealous," Cameron pointed out.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Mrs. McMuffins is mostly crumbs at this point. I don't think she'll mind," she said with a small smile.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm not hungry," Cameron finally said, apparently being stubborn.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Okay, your loss," she said as she broke another piece off and ate it. "It's really, really good. Very moist and tasty."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I believe you," Cameron shook his head but smiled a little.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'd never lie," she said, breaking off another small piece but still leaving a good sized chuck of muffin sitting there. "Fred here, may be one of the best muffins I've ever eaten."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He snorted. "Fred was a very special muffing."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He is. Really," she said, nodding seriously. "You're sure you don't want to try? I wouldn't want to be depriving you."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Nah, I don't believe in banana." Cameron stuck his tongue out.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She balled up her napkin and threw it at him. "That's just wrong." She finished the last bit of muffin and gathered up her trash. "I'd better get going. Lots of reading to do for government class tomorrow."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He caught the napkin and put it on the table. "I'll walk you home, so you don't get lost." Cameron chuckled and stood up. "Thanks for the cocoa and Mrs McMuffins."
