Finding My Way; Angel.

[Jasper Labis]

I can't help but chuckle as he replied that he had been a pregnant woman with triplets. I just found it funny and I had no clue why. I freeze as Angel's fingers skim my lips, my false blue eyes widening slightly. Was he going to kiss me? Apparently not. I chuckle as Kaitlyn attempted to try crawling onto my lap after holding out a stuffed bunny to show me. I ruffle her hair playfully as she finally reaches my lap, holding onto my arm. I glance over at Angel with a smirk before looking away to try and hide it. I shrug at his question, carefully taking another sip of my orange juice so that I wouldn't hit Kaitlyn on the head or spill it on both of us. "I thought it was nap time." I say thoughtfully, raising my eyebrows as I looked at the little girl on my lap.

[Angel Carson]

Kaitlyn shook her head stubbornly. "Not sleepy," She complained.
Angel sighed and rolled his eyes. "Don't get cranky or you go to bed early okay?"
"'Kay." She hugged Jasper's arm tighter and Angel scoffed at her, listening to her giggle. Finally she slid off the couch, toddling over to hertoys in the corner and dragging her bunny with her by the ear.

[Jasper Labis]

I chuckle at her protest and a small grin comes onto my face. I listen to the exchange of words between angel and his daughter quietly, not wanting to say anything or interfere with his parenting.
I pat her head softly as Kaitlyn clung to my arm before eventually seeming to tire of me and slide off the couch to trundle over to some toys in the corner, dragging her bunny along with her.
"I'm a controversial topic around here, aren't I?" I ask as I turn my gaze towards Angel, arching a single eyebrow at him.

[Angel Carson]

Angel laughed helplessly. "Hey she likes you," He drawled with a smile, then frowned a bit. "Sorry about the whole ah..daddy thing. She never got to know hers, so she gets excited if I bring someone home."
He twirled a strand of blonde hair in his finger, listenin to Kaitlyn babble as she played. Finally he leaned back again. "What's your favorite color?"

[Jasper Labis]

I nod slightly as he replies that Kaitlyn liked me- that was obvious. but little kids usually liked anyone that would give them attention, sorta like a dog.
"Its fine." I reply, shaking my head. I watch as Angel plays with his hair and I cross my legs at the ankles, taking another sip of my orange juice.
"Oh, I don't know." I drawl, holding my arms out as if to show myself off. I had on black lipstick, black eyeshadow, black pants, black shirt, and black dyed hair. Who knew what my favorite color was? Not like I showed it off.
"Yours?" I add, raising my eyebrows.

[Angel Carson]

Angel laughed softly, that teoubled look fading away instantly. He was usually too positive to let it bother him for long, though deep down it was always there lurking. His baby girl didn't have a daddy and he was too scared of another broken heart to be commited again..
He crinkled his nose up playfully. "I should of figured." A warm smile. It didn't bother him at all. Jasper was attractive in black. "Mm..I like light blue. And pink."

[Jasper Labis]

I'm glad to see his upset expression fade away, hopefully I had some hand in it. I never knew what to say around people, what lines not to cross- though my whole sexual orientation was one I knew not to step near.. with most people. And Angel was definitely not most people.
"Ew. Pastels." I say playfully, making a face before chuckling softly.
"Mm. Favorite animal?" I ask, taking a small sip of my orange juice. "I like cats." I add, grinning.

[Angel Carson]

Angel stuck his tongue out at the complaint about pastels, then smiled. Eyebrows drew together thoughfully a the next question. "Cats are cute. Puppies are adorable. Little fluffy ones or pit bull pups." He laughed softly. "I always wanted a puppy. But it'd be too much for me to raise both a puppy and Kaitlyn myself." He smiled before dropping his head to Jasper's shoulder and looking up at him. "Mm...favorite memory."

[Jasper Labis]

"I don't like dogs much." I reply, shrugging my shoulders as I make a face. They were just too much energy for me, I preferred to more sit around- like a cat. I was actually supposed to get a kitten soon. I snap out of my thoughts as Angel laid his head on my shoulder. I bring the glass to my lips thoughtfully at his question and sigh. "I don't actually know." I say, looking over at him for a moment before glancing away again. "I'm getting a kitten soon, but that's in the future." I mumble, looking down at my fingers as I picked at my black nail polish. "Your's?" I add, hoping to get away from the topic soon.

[Angel Carson]

Angel chuckled. "I'll get that puppy and torture you with it," He teased, bubbly laugh provin he was only joking. He didn't mind that Jasper sidn't like dogs. That was perfectly fine. "Awwww cutee!" He drawled upon hearing tha Jas would be getting a kitten. He thought a moment. "Hm...probably gettig to hold Kaitlyn for the first time when she was born." He would say, truly falling in love and getting engaged to his boyfriend but well...look how that turned out.
"Guess I knew in that moment I'd always have someone to love...and someone would always love me.." He bit his lip, tone changing. "Not everyone always uses that word and means it.." He whispered, not willing to admit how afraid he was of another relationship. Angel couldn't help being sensitive to attachment. Maybe it was because he'd grown up in an adoptive family.

[Jasper Labis]

I whine at his threat, sticking out my lower lip playfully. I nod silently as Angel coos about the kitten. It was pretty sad that my best memory was just getting a kitten. Maybe that birthday party that I'd had when I was five. "Aww." I say as he replies that his was holding Kaitlyn for the first time. I nod and sigh as Angel continues. "Deep down, I think everyone wants to be loved." I say, looking down at my lap. "Everyone wants somewhere to fit in." I add, shrugging.

[Angel Carson]

"Yeah," Angel agreed, gazing up at him and smiling a bit. "The heart's a tender thing." He sighed, then shrugged and stretched out more on the couch, reaching up to poke Jasper's nose before laughing a bit.

[Jasper Labis]

I nod silently, looking down at my lap and brushing my hair out of my face. I didn't want to say anymore, I didn't want Angel to think I was a wimp or something. I scrunch my nose up as he pokes my nose and I flick his shoulder playfully, chuckling softly before taking another small sip of my orange juice. "Favorite genre of music?" I ask randomly, riaisng my eyebrows at him questioningly.

[Angel Carson]

Angel smiled at him as Jasper flicked his shoulder and then proceeded to ask about his favorite genre of music. "Mm...Rock. And occasionally metal. Because the guys are sexy and most my friends are into it. Accquired taste." He chuckled a bit, reaching to caress Jasper's cheek thoughtfully before stretching his arm further up to play with his hair. "Yours?"

[Jasper Labis]

I nod as he replies and I take another sip of my juice, letting his hand trail across my cheek. I really wasn't used to such attention, but I'd taken it for a thing Angel did by now. "Punk rock, metalcore, hardcore." I reply, shrugging my shoulders slightly. My eyes fall on his face for a moment as he plays with my hair before I look away, my face heating. Did I like him? Sure I did; he was nice and funny. But, I knew that I meant it the other way. And I didn't want to answer that just yet. "Painter? Or artist; whatever." I ask, bringing my gaze back to Angel.
