Luke's Diner - Wednesday

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Johnny was sitting in a booth, chilling with a curent sports magazine. He couldn't wait to get in some motocross after graduation. Or you know, after he left the island.

Anyways, he was around-ish, if anyone needed him.

"Good afternoon," she said, slipping in and smiling. Hinata hadn't been here in a while, and that, combined with the fact that she knew who worked today meant there was no reason to not come.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you," he replied, his smile wide.


[Bit of SP as I work on painting a room!]

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

She grinned a bit. "Am I c-correct in assuming my company is not minded?" Hinata asked lightly. "I would hate to be a bother."

[Heeee, painting! NP!]

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"You're never a bother," he said. "Come sit down and tell me how a shy little girl such as yourself, got on stage last night and blew the audience away with her performance." She rocked, seriously.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata went very very pink at that, but took a seat as she was told to.

"I was n-not that good," she said, flush deepening. "Though I was g-glad not to have been a disappointment."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Sweetheart, you weren't even close to a disappointment. You rocked the stage and don't believe otherwise."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

She was never going to stop blushing at this rate.

"I am g-glad you think so," she said, though that left her opinion completely unspoken. Hinata wondered if he'd let her get away with that. "It was less stressful than the l-last time."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Her blushing was adorable and he for one, rather admired it.

Johnny gave her a crooked grin. "I'm not the only one who thought so," he said. "Not by a long shot."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Dinah and G'kar said I w-was not bad," she admitted, "last night, b-before everyone went home. I told them that I t-thought they'd done better."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He shook his head. "Accept the praise, sweetheart. You earned it. Now, tell me what you're doing for the sumer?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Yes, Johnny," she replied, a bit dryly. "And I think I p-probably am staying here for most of it, perhaps a trip home for a few days, but nothing more e-exciting than that."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Excellent. You'll get to come bug me at work for a while yet, before I leave for good."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Are you staying the w-whole summer?" she asked, resting her chin in her hands. "I'll surely visit."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Reaching out, he attempted to tap her cute little nose. "That I am. Leaving Savannah's going to be hard. I figure the longer I stay, the better for her."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata giggled, covering her nose. "I'm s-sure she'll appreciate it," she said sincerely, "I... I suppose I c-could look in on her, if that would help?"

For Hinata, that was ridiculously brave. She didn't even know Savannah.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"You would do that?" he asked, surprised by her offer.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Her blush, which had been dying down, flared up again. "It's not w-weird, is it?" she said, fingers pressing together nervously. "I mean, that I w-would..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"No, hell no. Not weird at all. In fact, I would greatly appreciate it and it'd be awesome of you. Totally. She's going to have a time of it when I leave, so befriending her would be great, Hinata."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I will do m-my best," she said, pleased. "And hope that we g-get along."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I can't imagine anyone not getting along with you, darling," he replied, honestly. "And Savannah's great. She's kind, sincere; you'll get along great with her. I'd like her to keep busy. Especially after I first leave. Keep her mind occupied and all that."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

She grinned a bit, flushing, but well, that was just going to happen anyway.

"I'm not a-all that busy myself," she said, though if she included training then she was, "so I'd be g-glad to provide her with company."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

And he was more than used to her pink cheeks.

"I'll have to mention it to her. Do you girls both some good, though I'm wondering if it will do you more good than her."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata gave him a (very polite) but puzzled glance. "Better for me?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Get you out and about, meeting people, doing stuff," he explained. She was a timid little thing. Johnny thought he'd be helping, yes.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

He might be, quite possibly.

She looked a little rueful. "I suppose," Hinata said, "though I'm g-getting a bit better. I'm supposed to go out tonight, with Dinah and Amber, to the b-bar."

Hinata was still dubious about the 'bar' bit of that, but Dinah had sworn she didn't actually have to drink anything more than a soda.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

To the bar? "I didn't know you were the bar scene type," he said, raising a brow.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I'm not," she said, plainly bewildered as she wasn't even sure what that meant. "Dinah i-invited me, and said I don't have to do anything but be c-company, so I thought..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Right," he said. "If you end up drinking, call me." Because he was in full protective mode. "I mean it."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I will," she promised. "I'll b-be careful, Johnny."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He nodded, satisfied. "Now, what can I get you to eat, drink... it's on me, sweetheart."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

She grinned at him. "W-What would you suggest?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Today's special is excellent," he grinned. "Ever have a meatball sub?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I haven't," she answered, "though if you suggest it, I am w-willing to try it."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Awesome!" he gave her a quick thumbs up and went to put in her order. It wasn't but a few moments later before he was placing it before her. "What can I get you to drink?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Just some water, please," Hinata said, grinning at him. "B-Boring, I know."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely nothing wrong with water," he told her, grinning. He got her an ice water, bringing a straw with it just in case she was the straw type.

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"It's good for you," she said, giggling at the straw, but using it to take a sip. "And hard to get sick of s-something that doesn't taste much like anything."
