Pixie Dust, Sunday

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

This week, Eric was prepared.

... For what, he wasn't entirely certain; he was mostly entertaining vague thoughts of proving to Harper that there was absolutely no chance whatsoever of him ever, y'know, liking her. To that end, he... ... ...

Okay, so he wasn't prepared. He didn't have the first clue how to handle things, no matter the advice he'd been getting lately. Regardless, Pixie Dust was open.

And if you knew how to get rid of crazy stalkers, you'd probably get a 50% discount.

[OCD-free over here, too!]

Serena wasn't exactly sure of how to get rid of crazy stalkers, but she was willing to give it her sisterly try. After all, what was family for?

"Serena!" Eric said, smiling a bit as he saw her. "Hey. How's it going? I... don't think I've seen you around much since the picnic. Outside of class, anyway, and we haven't really been interacting much there and I'm kind of rambling, so... Hi!"

"Eric, whoa, slow down," Serena was laughing, shaking her head as the door swung shut behind her. "I'm good. Getting used to this place. Which, is weirder than they tell you on the brochure."

Alright, there hadn't been any brochure. "And you? Chuck said something about you being a mouse?"

Eric made a face at that. "Someone... took exception to something I did," he explained. "When we were all a little crazy with the emotions. Not that I think that excuses him," he insisted. "I mean, seriously. A mouse?"

"A bit harsh," more than that, in her mind. This was her brother, kind of, and she was protective, in her Serena way. "kind of makes you wish you had magic. A couple of days as a dung beetle couldn't hurt him."

"I wonder if we can get anyone to do it!" Eric replied. "I mean, there's got to be other people at the school who can do things like that..." He sighed, though. "I don't think- Anyway, I don't think the guy would appreciate it much. The one I... Y'know."

Eric blanched.

"... Did I mention that I'm gay?"


[This is me thinking that I'm remembering things properly! It hasn't come up between Eric and Serena yet, has it? I mean, obviously Serena would know about HER Eric, but Eric's Serena doesn't know yet, and I don't think it's been said between them here at FH yet, has it? I'll reping if need be.]

"Etic," she put a hand out, touching his, "it's okay. I know. I mean, back home? It came out."

Because of Georgina of all people, but she wouldn't tell him tbat. "Mom did her usual freak out thing, but it was all okay."

Eventually.

"I bet we could find someone. The magic thing, not the gay thing." She smiled, "or we could just deal with the girl problems Chuck said you were having?"

And that was a relief, knowing that he hadn't just outed... himself.

This alternate timelines thing was a headache.

"Oh, God, Harper," Eric said, and in his mouth the word was practically a curse. "Don't even get me started on Harper."

THe alternate timelines was more than a headache, and for the most part, Serena tried to ignore it. She was actually fairly good at ignoring things.

"She likes you?" Serena grimaced, "and doesn't get the idea you're not into her?"
