Room 234/236: Tuesday evening

[mparkerceo]

Parker had just finished wrapping Jack's present, and was now staring at the phone. After the weekend she'd had, then talking to Xander about the Centre, and Jack last night, and then dealing with a grieving Anders and unsettled Bridge, and depressed Chris and downcast Isabel today, about the only semi-cheerful conversation she'd had in days had

Blair has spent most of the day on the roof being emo. Then he had spent a long time in the shower trying to be not frozen. Now he wanted to give someone a hug.

So he's knocking on Parker's door. Because he's crazy like that.

[mparkerceo]

Parker hung up the phone after talking to Rose, and wandered over to the door, opening it, then smiling slightly when she saw who it was. "Blair. Hey."

[lovechildblair]

Blair stood looking at Parker for a long moment.

Just looking.

Quietly.

[mparkerceo]

"Blair?" Parker gave him a concerned look, and held the door open for him to come in. "Something wrong?"

[lovechildblair]

Blair just cried one perfect tear shrugged slightly and took a step inside the door.

[mparkerceo]

Parker was now seriously starting to worry. No bounce-- okay, after this weekend, not unexpected. But no talking? "Do you want some cocoa?" she asked, a little unnerved.

[lovechildblair]

"Rather have a hug." Blair said, looking up at Parker and holding out his arms.

[mparkerceo]

Parker gave him a lifted eyebrow, and folded arms. "I'm sure you would," she said, very dry. "But why, exactly, would you want one from me?"

[lovechildblair]

"Because you give the best hugs?" Blair said, trying to affect wide innocent eyes. He hadn't had the best day and he did want to hug Parker...but there was no law saying he couldn't play with her first.

[mparkerceo]

"You are so full of it." Parker bumped one arm with her shoulder, and said, "Come on. Sit down. And maybe if you've got a really, really, really, really, really good reason, I'll consider it."

[lovechildblair]

Blair smiled and took a seat, tucking his legs under him. "You shouldn't make that promise, this hasn't been the best couple of weeks for me. Dude, I even got Winchester hugs lately."

[mparkerceo]

Parker grinned and went to make another cup of cocoa. "Part of the post-exorcism trauma treatment, I take it?"

[lovechildblair]

"I doubt it's standard." Blair said, shrugging. "Although maybe it would make people feel better. I could always suggest it to Professor Winchester tomorrow."

[mparkerceo]

"I must be there when you do," Parker said, starting to grin. She handed over a cup of cocoa. "How are you doing after this weekend? God knows I'm trying to repress."

[lovechildblair]

Blair took the cup of cocoa and drank it slowly, trying to stall. After a long slurp he looked up at Parker and shrugged.

"I'm not sure how I'm doing, man. I really don't."

[mparkerceo]

"Ah." Parker took another sip of her cocoa, and sighed. "Yeah. It had me kind of spun there too. I visited a friend and got drunk. The first half help, second half, not so much."
