The Fourth Sin - Saturday Night

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky reclined behind the desk, drinking a beer and reading a magazine.

The Sin was open, even if its madam wasn't paying a ton of attention.

"Maybe," she said. "If you're like, really thirsty."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"I am," GOB said. "What do you have?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Beer," she said, and rolled her eyes.

She actually got up, went into the kitchen, and returned a moment later with an opened bottle for him and a fresh one for herself.

That? Was about as close to an admission of forgiveness as he was going to get.

That? Was what made GOB think that he had a shot at make-up sex tonight.

"Thanks," he said. "I missed this. Sitting in the lobby, drinking... It's fun."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh."

Way to contribute to the conversation, Becky.

GOB took a swig of his beer, then rolled up his sleeves, did something with his hands, and made flowers appear.

He put them in Becky's empty beer bottle on the desk. Because that's romantic.

Becky raised a brow. "Cute. Why?"

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"I had them as a backup just in case I needed a little something extra and they were itching like hell," GOB explained. Ah, honesty.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but why did you have them in the first place?" she asked, actually smiling.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"You're a sucker for flowers," GOB explained.

He always was bad at keeping the secrets behind his illusions secret.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Am not."

She was still smiling, though, because it was true.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB drank some more and smiled. "If you say so. And I could always take these away..."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Why would you do that?" she asked, totally not upset by that idea. No, really.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Just wanted to make sure that they weren't unwanted decorations," GOB said, sitting back.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"They're not," she said. "Now stop talking about them."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Sure thing," GOB said, smiling. It was nice to see that after a couple weeks he hadn't lost his touch.

"Just wondering, how's the injury? Just a cool scar now?"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"It's fine," she said. "All scabby and gross."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Can I see?" GOB asked. He hadn't seen her stomach in too long.

Realizing that he actually had that thought freaked him out quite a bit.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky lifted her shirt to show her midriff. There was a neat, icky-looking cut.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB smiled. "Nice. Did I ever tell you about the time two of my fingers got chopped off?" he asked.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Did you piss off another ninja?" she asked.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"No, my little brother was doing part of an illusion: The Sword of Destiny. Some people shouldn't be allowed to even touch swords," GOB said. "The doctors reattached them in the wrong spots because that kind of thing had never been done before."

He held up his left hand to show off. Sure enough, the index finger seemed to be suspiciously longer than the middle finger.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"That's kinda creepy. Why didn't I notice that?" Becky asked.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," GOB said, finishing off his beer. "I've never paid that much attention to you're left hand. Just one of those things."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"You don't find my left hand fascinating?" she asked, peering at her hand.
