He told me a story about yesterday. [ closed ]

WHO Shannon Vaughn ([personal profile] privatematter), Eli Delacroix ([personal profile] aspectional), and other Aspects.
WHAT Life takes a small turn for the exciting when the rest of the Aspects find out about the weird, three-way relationship that has evolved between Eli, Shannon and Michelle. It actually gets interesting when said relationship ends up getting involved in a sting on a large, black market smuggling ring.
WHEN idk, mid-1991-ish.
WHERE Chicago, IL, USA.

It was a beautiful summer day. Warm sun, pleasant breeze, excellent weather and plenty of friends. After a week of various he-said, she-saids among all of the Aspects hoping to do something with the optimistic forecast, it was decided to host a barbeque at Shannon's place (for Shannon's place was the only one with an appropriately-sized yard especially picked out for Lacey) where everyone could hang out and reconnect no matter what else was busying up their lives.

Although Shannon was hosting, he was hardly doing any of the cooking and found himself lingering by the screen door nursing a beer while he chatted around and listened for any of the straggling guests at the front. Only one or two people were actually hanging around inside to use the kitchen where there wasn't space out on the porch, so he kept an ear to that conversation, as well.

There was a rat-a-tat on the door. "I'll get it," he called inside the house, before Matheus could take it upon himself to answer. Shannon needed something to do for himself, and Matheus seemed to not be too keen on letting people (or himself) into Shannon's house without permission lately. Setting the beer aside, he made for the door and opened, brows raised expectantly; anyone who was coming would know to announce themselves.

"You two can speak Lithuanian. I will stick to what I know," Michelle said with a shrug, never once stopping her petting. That and Shannon's words seemed to sink in and start pulling him out of his mood, which Michelle was definitely glad to see and she knew Shannon felt the same.

He leaned into the petting and looked thoughtful before he responded. Sure, he was still moody, but he knew that he didn't want to ruin this because of something silly like that. "Braille would be interesting to learn and would you don't have to learn Lithuanian if you don't want to Michelle. That just means Shannon and I have our own language to speak in. Like a secret code."
