Coco wondered around the penthouse humming and singing Christmas tunes. Christmas was five days away. Maxxi was out at the garage, Jazz was at his gig, Leon was down int he main gym on the tenth floor, Ratchet went out to a club, Scooter went out to hang out with Aeiro, Dante had baracaded himself in his room. The only one around was Ayva, who had come back again from another trip.
"Russia, love the art, hate the climate." She grumbled.
"How is he?" Coco asked, refilling he rglass of coffee.
"Kyro? Fine, he's fine, he may not come doen here for awhile, some family thing, I don't know, RUssians are weird.." Ayva yawned.
"Jet-lagged?"
"Majorly." Ayva yawned again. "So, my dear, how have the hounds been?" Ayva smiled wickedly. When Ayva was away visiting friends or on vacation, Coco was her set of eyes, she reported anything wrong and Ayva delt with it.
"Well, tell no one, but I think Dante's opening up to me a bit more." Coco said.
"Really? Explain."
"Well, I swear I saw him smiling one day, and he's actually tolerated me sitting next to him, on, his, bed."
"Really? Wow, never thought I'd hear that!"
"He even did this for me." Coco said, showing her the sea glass encrusted gun handle Dante made her. Ayva stared.
"My, my, Dante really does like you. I mean, the proof is that you're still breathing, but, wow..."
"Scooter has been the same you know him."
Ayva waved ehr hand dismisivly, "I know."
"Leon is still winning every fight he gets into."
"Naturally."
"Ratchet yesterday tried to kinda force himself on me."
"The outcome?"
"I stuck some thorns in him, he stabbed me with a knife."
"Lovely."
"He's still getting over the poison, anyway Jazz is amazing, he is so nice! The other night I spent the night with him, I have never slept int he same bed as someone like him! Leon's a cuddler, but when Jazz cuddles, it's so soft!"
"Jazz is naturally gentle."
"I love it! And unlike Leon, he didn't spend all night pulling me from one end of the bed to another or rolling ontop of me and suffucating me, he just held me!"
"Any sexiness?"
"NO! That's the best part! Sometimes Leon's hands wonder, and Maxxi, I'm sure he doesn't sleep and messes with me, but Jazz is even respectfull in his sleep! HIs hands stayed right int eh middle of my back!"
"I love him, well, not, love-love, but, you know."
"Houser still hasn't come back.." COco threw in.
"Good, can't believe I allowed him to stay here...." Ayva rubbed ehr head.
"Sometimes I think I see him. But we haven't opened his room up since he left. I always run past it incase he's actually in there..."
"Has Dante smelled or heard him?"
"Sometimes, but he's never very close."
"GOod, hey, thank's for the coffee, I'm gonna take a nap, see ya later." Ayva said, pushing away fom the table and standing.
"See ya, you hanging around till Christmas?"
"Yeah, of course, wouldn't miss it, see ya squirt."
"Hey! I;m the same hieght as you!" Coco called back.
"Not a few years ago!" Ayva called back. Coco smiled and went to do the dishes. This place really felt like home now. Leon was like...her brother. She sighed and scrubbed at a cup. She hadn't heard from him in so long. Ever since Houser kidnapped her. She wanted to see him so badly... The buzzer by the sink lit up. Coco shook out of her thoughts and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, kiddo, could you bring me a beer?" Leon asked over the intercom.
"Leon, you can't drink beer while working out, how bout I bring you a bottle of water."
"Kiddo, please? Just one?"
"One, and I'm bringing down some water to put in the fridge." She said, clicking off. She smiled, same old Leon. She grabbed a bag and filled it with water bottles and headed downt eh elevator. Leon was at teh bench press, which Coco notice had every heavy weight on it. "Hey, got your beer." She said. Leon put the bar back and sat up smiling. "Thanks, kiddo." He said uncapping it and drinking. Coco made her way over to the multiple mini fridges on the far wall. IN this building, tensnts could rent one of these fridges and put anything they wanted in them for when they work out. Coco unlocked their and kneeled down, and frowned. It was filled with beer, with only one little bottle of water ont he bottom, definetly Jazz's.
Leon had gone back to bench pressing his weights. Coco glanced back and traded out teh beer witht he water. "Leon, I;m about to put you in A.A. if you don't stop drinking with everything you do."
"What about Jazz?"
"Jazz drinks wine, and only on special occasions or if I make something special for dinner, when was the last time you saw him drunk?" Coco asked, placing the bag of beer down and climbing onto Leons abs as he continued his workout.
"FIne, I'll TRY and cut back a bit, geez, talk abou nagging..."
"I nag cuase I care. Mind if I join?" Coco asked. She was wearing her favorite yoga pants and her work out sports bra.
"Sure, you ever work out before?"
"I come down here sometimes, Maxxi showed me how to use some of these things."
"What's you best machine and weight?"
"The lap pull-down, 80 lbs." She answered. The lat-pull-down was right next to Leons bench press.
"Pretty good, how about the leg press?" Leon asked, indicating the machine across from them.
"90 lbs, I can go for 15 minutes."
"Very nice, well, for you that is."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're fucking tiny." Leon said, finishing his reps. COco chuckled and set the weights and started her reps.
"Hey, I grew!"
"Which is good, if you hd stayed tiny I would have been ripping on you more."
"You already rip on me."
"Yeah." Leon said, sitting at the leg press and adjusting the weights teh their maximum.
"How's Nira?"
"Good." Leon said, pushing the foot rests out and back. "Went over last night, he cooks pretty good."
"Does he cook steaks as good as I do?" COco asked slyly, looking over ehr shoulder. Leon chuckled.
"Nira doesn't cook steaks that much, but his celebration chicken is very good."
"Which recipe is that?"
"One of the slow-cooker ones. The one with chicken breasts, onions, green and red bell peppers and stuff."
"No, that's the veggie lover chicken, the celebration chicken is the one with cream of mushroom soup and baby mushrooms."
"Are we really arguing over Nira's recipe's?" Leon asked.
"Don' know, we might." COco said, finishing her thirty reps. She changed the weight to 50 and did some low down ones, turning on the seat to look at Leon and pulling the bar down to her shoulders. "What's your favorite recipe of mine that rivals one of Nira's?"
"Hmmm, well, aside from meat products, I loved that Butternut squash soup of yours and Nira's asian chicken salad."
"Ew! Oh, not about NIra's, about my soup, I hated it!"
"That's because you put a bit to much hot sauce in it, but I loved the spicy-ness." Leon explained, keeping on with his reps. Coco shrugged and finished her cool down reps and stood up, heading to the legs compresser across from Leon. She always giggled since for this machine she had to push against teh weights, which meant spreading her legs infront of Leon, it was really bad when she started on ehr heat time.
"You always liked hot food." Coco said, setting the weights and pushing he rlegs open against the leg braces.
"Yeah, hey, what you gonna cook for Christmas?" Leon asked, keeping his eyes int eh area of her head, only letting them stray as low as her chest.
"I'm not sure, will you eat anythign that's NOT steak?"
"For you, sure."
"I may make some chicken meal. I was thinking pheasent, but those little bitches are too small and no meat." COco said.
"Hey, anything you cook, I'll eat." Leon assured her, moving to the machine next to her. This machine was like Coco's, but the goal was to push against teh weights to close your legs. "All your christmas shopping done?" Leon asked, setting the weights and begining.
"Yep, my last gift was for Dante, that one was hard."
"Think he'll like it? I still got some of the old presents I got him sitting in my cloest, he opened them, and if he didn't like them, just left the, there."
"I'm sure I did fine." Coco said, putting the weights a little lower for ease, which made Leon chuckle. "Who was the hardest for you to shop for?"
"Besides Dante, you."
"Me?"
"I really wanted to get you something nice, I really went aroud the mall a dozens times."
"Oh, Leon, I'll love anything you get me! Don't you wory none, I'm sure anything you get me will be perfect." Coco said, leaning over and hitting his shoulder. Leon chukled and checked his phone when it pinged. "WHo is it?"
"Nira... he wants me to ask you if he should bring anything to the christmas party."
"Just any presents and maybe some snacks, he can bring anythgin really." Leon texted back and set the phone on the chair between them. "What do you wanna watch tonight?" Leon and her had a tradition of watching a moving every tuesday.
"I'm open for anything, as are your legs." Leon joked.
"HEY! Be nice!" COco giggled.
"I am, I could easily make fish joke." Coco smiled and punched his arm playfully. "Let's watch a horror movie, we haven't watched one lately."
"Cool, I'll head out later and pic on up."
"SOunds good!"
