[One for all] I Can't Believe a Year Went By So Fast

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola is bored, a fact he finds patently unfair as it's his birthday, and for once he's not holed up in an abandoned manor somewhere with no one but unintelligent, undead minions for company.

He thinks there should be cake, at the very least, so he's wandered down to the kitchen in an attempt to either scrounge some up or make one himself.

Probably someone should intervene before the Big Guy finds him snooping around the kitchen.

"Quite the miracle," Nikola says dryly.

"I guess some things really are universal."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Or you're not quite as unintelligent as you seem."

[w-zimmerman.livejournal.com]

"I like to think I have my moments, but I may be deluding myself."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"One or two, perhaps," Nikola says. "Occasionally."

"Few and far between," Will agrees, using a toothpick to test the cake. "Mom used to have this saying about blind pigs finding truffles..."

"A broken clock is right twice a day," Nikola says.

"There you go." Will nods, taking the cakes out of the oven and wondering why this conversation suddenly has him thinking. "Okay, we'll just let those cool, then I'll make the whipped cream and knock this thing together."

He walks over to the table and helps himself to more caramel-corn. "You sure you don't want some? Ashley and Henry both really enjoyed it."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Positive," Nikola says. "I've lived quite long enough to know what I do and don't enjoy."

"Suit yourself," Will answers, helping himself to a handful and then going in search of a piping-bag.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I always do," Nikola murmurs, leaning on the counter to watch Will.

"Very true," he admits, testing the temperature of the cakes. "They still need to cool," he tells Tesla, giving the cherries a stir. "So, any new world-changing inventions on the radar for you?"

"Watson wants me to redesign his suit," Nikola says, tapping his fingers on the counter.

"Yeah, he looked like he was having some trouble with the current one when I saw him earlier." Will frowns, then smiles. "Henry's been talking about Iron Man a lot, so I look forward to seeing the new design..."

Nikola smiles. "Mmm...yes, well if we give him something a little easier to maneuver, maybe you can finally convince him to fuck you. Check him off your top ten list."

"That's low, Nikola..." he chuckles.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Oh, please," Nikola says, rolling his eyes. "You'd be on your back with your legs in the air in a heartbeat if he asked."

[w-zimmerman.livejournal.com]

"I never denied that, but I'm more interested in his mind. Seriously, I could learn a lot from a guy whose brain works like that..."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Men who say they're more interested in someone's mind are either liars or virgins," Nikola remarks. "Which one are you?"

[w-zimmerman.livejournal.com]

"Uh, line between theory and practice? I'm not a virgin, but..." He shrugs. "Why do you even care?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I don't," Nikola says. "But it's still going to be a while before that cake is going to be cool enough to put cream on, so I thought I'd make a little conversation."

[w-zimmerman.livejournal.com]

"Well, conversation's always good, but my love-life is just a depressing topic. Why don't we talk about you for awhile?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Who's talking about love? I was talking about sex."

[w-zimmerman.livejournal.com]

"And, based on my actions over the past few weeks, I can't even get away with 'for some of us, it's the same thing,' can I? It's still an ugly topic, Nikola."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Men who say that," Nikola says, chuckling, "are definitely liars."
