Heather walked up the stairs from the basement to the foyer of the large mansion. She was glad to see Jumper was alright and Beast take him into custody. She hoped he would be ok and decided to head back to her room.
As she walked into the foyer, she couldn't help but yawn and stretch, making herself more relaxed. She then let her long, graceful hair cascade down her back and over her shoulders and breasts as she pulled out the hair band collating it. Another yawn came upon her as she headed to the girl's dorms, ready for a good nights rest.

Ian ran up from the cafeteria wearing the Jersey Heather had given him and had an armful of gifts. He was quite happy with how this Christmas party turned out. Hell he was more than happy but was a bit saddened that Heather had taken off so quickly. Ian hated to think he did something to upset her, for she was his friend.
Just as he was thinking of her, Ian spotted her walking through the foyer and stretching. He grinned and sneaked up behind her slightly. "Aww is the Princess tired?" he teased gently from behind her with a grin on his face. "Where did you disappear to?" Ian asked with a smile on his face.

Hearing a voice behind her, Heather turned and squealed, causing an echo in the large room. Realizing it was Ian, she held her chest to calm herself down and let out a nervous. "Don't do that," she said between breaths. She was surprised to see Ian so quickly after talking about him with Jumper. Immediately all the advice Jumper gave her flooded back into her head.
She smiled, seeing the jersey she gave Ian was of use to him and she looked into his eyes. "And yes I am a bit tired," she said with a giggle. She then shifted her weight and yawned again. "I went to see Jumper in the Med Lab. I wanted to give him his gift and make sure he was OK." She smiled, in a way proud she cared about her friends as much as she did.

He laughed easily at her squeal. "Aw such a cute little squeal there," Ian said chuckling. Ian smiled slightly when he heard that she went to see that other dude and he assumed that Jumper was his name. He nodded and looked down at her."Oh how's he doing? He didn't look too good," he said as an afterthought. He seemed like an okay guy and Ian didn't think that Spitfire would be too happy if something happened to him for they seemed close.
Ian gave her a mock pout. "You know I was quite hurt. You left with a single goodbye to me or nothing. I mean a leather book should at least entitle me to a proper goodbye," he said easily with a wink. Hell he wasn't completely serious and was only wanting another smile cause thats what he did. He liked making people smile especially girls. Ian appreciated the simple smile. Did wonders for pretty girls like Heather.

"He is doing well," she said with a nod. She tucked her long hair behind her ears, revealing the piercings on her ears, identical on both ears and spots. She then scratched her neck, feeling a slight itch caused by the tag in her shirt.
"I'm sorry," she said with a smirk. "I just had to get out of there." She thought of Lorelai and didn't want to talk any further about the incident. Heather only hoped that Ian had no clue of her liking him and hoped above all that Lorelai didn't give him any clues or tell him flat out. To make Ian forgive her, Heather gave him a kiss on each cheek and smiled. "And thank you again for the sketchbook, it is a wonderful gift." Jumper's words were entering her mind again. Was he really a jerk? She just couldn't see it, but then was it that she really didn't want to? Heather couldn't stand the whole thing. If Jumper was really her friend, he would try to see a good side of Ian, instead of crushing on Aideen and thinking what she was thinking. Then again, that might not have been the case at all. Heather was beginning to get a headache from thinking too much, so late at night. She bit her lip, since she was feeling a bit nervous and smiled to cover her thoughts.

Ian smiled widely when she kissed him on both cheeks and gave her a silly grin. "Much better. Maybe even better than the jersey," he said with a wink. He decided to let her comment pass on needing to get out of there. He had a guess as to why but figured it was none of his business. Instead Ian just smiled at her and shifted his gifts to one arms. "So you know there are a bunch of Christmas specials on TV tonight. Want to go watch with me?" he said excitedly. He knew he must look like a loser and a little kid, but he didn't care. Ian loved Christmas and it was an excuse for him to really be a kid again despite all the stuff he had been through recently.
Ian grinned big at Heather with a child like grin as he waited for her answer.

The offer was tempting and Heather didn't know what to do. She did know what she wanted to do, she wanted to go and spend more time with Ian. She wanted to get to know him more and see for herself if he was a jerk or not. But once again, Jumper's voice filled her head. She shook them out and decided to go with her gut. If it was wrong, then she would learn from it, no harm done really if you think about it. They would be friends for now and Heather would enjoy every minute of it.
She took several gifts from Ian, seeing that he was probably uncomfortable holding them all. Plus it was rude to let him carry it all without offering to help. "Why not?" she said cheerfully with a wide smile. "It's the holidays and sleep is unheard of at this time right?" She sneered at her joke and waited for Ian to respond.

Ian looked at her and cocked an eyebrow slightly at her when he saw that she looked a bit tired, God he was dense sometimes of course not everyone is hyper like him Christmas night. But hey if she wanted to come, Ian would definitely not mind. After all if it came down to it, he could always carry her to her room if she fell asleep. Super-strength had a good amount of benefits.
"Radical babe! I heard that some of those classic shows are on tonight," he said excitedly and laughed a bit when she took the gifts from him. "Babe, you do know that I have super strength? I promise you they weren't heavy," Ian said chuckling but he did appreciate the kindness.
"Now off the the TV room with the knarly big screen!" he said putting a hand on her lower back and leading her to the rec room with a big smile on his face.

Heather shrugged when Ian reminded her of his powers. "It's a habit to help," she said with a giggle. A night watching some classic shows would be a nice way to spend the rest of the evening. She smiled wide and then said "Ready when you are," as Ian escorted her to the rec room. His strong hand against her small frame made her feel good. It made her feel safe.
