Outback Steakhouse, Tuesday evening

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn stomped snow off her boots as she made her way to the restaurant's hostess stand for her date with Puck. Good old Outback: Even when your island was in a frozen wasteland in the middle of July, the Blooming Onions tasted about the same as they did in Lima. Quinn was immeasurably grateful for that.

She gave Puck a slight, frazzled smile. It felt like a long time since they'd done a couple thing, and she was eager for the night out. "I think my fingertips are numb inside my mittens," she announced, as they waited to be seated. "How are yours?"

[OOC: Open restaurant, but Quinn's here for one.]

"Am I a wuss if I say I've been wiggling them so I won't lose feeling?" Puck wondered. "Or is that sensitive, but still manly?"

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"It's you," Quinn decided. "I'm sure it's incredibly macho finger-wiggling."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"It's basically the testosterone-iest finger-wiggling that's ever happened," Puck agreed. "Even if I want to be a total girl about how effing cold it is."

"The problem with it is that it's July. if it were January, I'd be cool, you know?" Quinn said, pun not intended. "And it feels like we've been here forever."

Less than two weeks, but who was counting.

"And they sent us to the cabins." She leaned against Puck's shoulder. "It's making me all whiny."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

Puck slid his arm around her shoulders, playing with her hair a little. "It's okay to whine," he assured her. "You'd think they'd catch a clue about the fact that it's freezing. Putting us in the cabins where we can't do anything about sharing body heat? Unfair."

"I think the entire administration is on drugs," Quinn decided, relaxing as he touched her hair. "Which would explain the cabin names. I got Courage Wolf."

She added, "They put Caroline and Jake together. We should've asked for it too."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"What?" Puck asked, frowning instantly. "Carebear and her giant boyfriend get to live together? Um, yes we should have. That's an option? What?"

Puck...didn't pay a lot of attention.

"Doof," Quinn said, with an affectionate swat toward his arm. "Yes, they let you pick a cabin buddy thing. They do this whole sign-up window thing. You've been here how long and you haven't noticed?"

She hadn't asked because ... well, because it hadn't been that long since she was celibacy club president.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"I never had anyone I'd wanna buddy up with before," he answered honestly. Well. There was also the fact that there'd always been the chance that his buddy would be a hot girl. Which happened to be the case this time, but he wasn't sharing that. He was just going to leave that statement all cute.

Quinn seemed satisfied by that, and she smiled as they omg moddedly slid into the booth.

"There's always next summer, if we stick around," she said. "And in a couple weeks we'll be back in the dorms and -- ooh. Didn't your roommate graduate?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

Puck grinned at her. "Yep. Roy was a senior. I still have to figure out what to do with his bed when he leaves." Really, Puck? "And next summer we have to live with all the other grads, anyway. They won't be able to split us up."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Don't sell that bed on eBay or anything," Quinn teased. (Really, Puck?) "But that's awesome. I can hang out in your room more next year, and after graduation .... we'll be all unstoppable."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"I'll keep it clean, then," Puck said, suddenly realizing how much work that was going to be. He'd have to make sure she didn't figure out where he kept his pot stash, either. "And we'll be unstoppable before that. Prom Queen and King, remember?"

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Definitely. And I might try for student council president," Quinn added. "Alex Karev did it. How hard can it be?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Dude, if that jackass can win, you're not even a question," Puck said, raising a brow. "That guy was a serious tool, and you're not only a million times hotter and more awesome, but you're way, way smarter. It can't be hard."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Quinn laughed. "Puck, you are the best ego boost in the world. I think I'm going to keep you around."

Note, though, that she didn't disagree.

"Anything you want me to do during my reign of terror?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"School uniform," Puck replied with a firm nod. "Institute one."

No need to wonder about Puck's idea of an appropriate uniform. Quinn probably already had a good idea.

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"There is something to be said for a tiny plaid skirt," Quinn said, almost dreamily. "Maybe I can make the guy's uniform shirt really fitted. For feminism."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"For feminism," Puck agreed, a little dreamy himself. "And ties for the girls." What, he liked that kind of pristine, buttoned-up thing sometimes. Little wonder why he liked Quinn. "...for the dudes, too, I guess."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Ties," Quinn echoed. "... and maybe vests instead of blazers. I like vests."
