Academie L´ Amour Part 5

Another update, yeah!

It starts in the Powers/Thompson household with Griffin and Frederick.

 Griffin is a bit torn, on one hand, he is really attracted to Frederick ...

on the other hand, Frederick is such an extreme slob that Griffin is really turned off by his eating manners (or the lack of those). Not to mention the floods in the bathroom everytime Frederick showers.

Sometimes, he really regrets having moved in with Frederick.

Frederick is blissfully oblivious to Griffin´s inner struggles. He just complains pathetically everytime I force him to sweep up the mess that he has made in the bathroom. But he knows he is cute, and when he does the Hula, he sweeps Griffin off his feet.

And let us not forget about Thor, in whom Griffin is interested, too.

Griffin decides though to ask Frederick on a date. He takes him out to the most expensive restaurant in town, generously overlooking Frederick´s less than casual outfit. He is so absorbed in kissing Frederick´s sweet lips that he doesn´t notice the impending doom that approaches rather quickly.

A little battered and bruised they finally manage to find a seat in the lovely Moroccan restaurant. While the fountain gently gurgles in the background, Griffin is making a toast to Frederick.

Delicious food is brought to their table, and then Griffin looks at me as if to say: "Why again did I want to ask Frederick on a date??"

Sorry to disappoint you, Griffin, but Frederick´s table manners haven´t really improved since breakfast.

But all the crumbs, the slurping and gobbling is soon forgotten.

They head home, cuddle up on the sofa, but then Frederick rushes things a bit, and Griffin pushes him away.

 

Oh my, look at that sweet, sulking face!

But he manages to calm down, take a gentler approach, and the date ends harmonious, although in different beds.

***

Ruben did not give up his interest in Mia, despite her harsh rejection. But you can´t resist the magnetic pull of three bolts, which these two share with each other, so Ruben is persistant, practices dancing:

 and flirts with Mia. Eventually, she gives in ...

... and starts enjoying Ruben´s courtship.

Ruben dares to ask Mia for another "First Kiss", and she accepts! Ruben could not be happier!

***

Over at the Greek House, Aden "Mr. 1000 Volt" Waters uses the ritual morning Hula dance as a poor excuse to show off his dream body.

"Oh my god, I can´t believe how sexy I am!"

"Luc, are you watching?"

It is obviously spring time, and the raging hormones reach a new high. Aeryn decides it is a good time to flirt with Ruben, and falls in love instantly, despite the fact she is still dating Xenos.

Thor forgets his usual shyness and flirts with Griffin without restraint. I am only glad this lot is set to "no jealousy", otherwise all hell would have broken loose by now. But this gives us the opportunity to admire Frederick´s sexy back as he calmly walks away from the scene of the crime.

Hula time.

Xenos is still confused about his love interests. 

"Mmmh, Mia is sooo sweet ..."

" ... and so is Aeryn ...."

"Oooh, and Luc is cute, too ..."

Thank you, Xenos, we get the point.

But he is not the only confused person in the place.

If the crowd doesn´t Hula, it swoons.

Just liked this image of Griffin.

Despite all this confused swooning, Aeryn and Xenos are still dating.

and taking their relationship a little further.

And so do Mia and Ruben.



Mia has trouble focussing on her homework.

Ruben asked her on another date. Much to her surprise, Ruben falls down on his knees in the Café Romara, and asks THE question.



She gladly accepts ... and then brags about her two love interests to a total stranger. Jeez, Mia, you are not winning any sympathy points with this kind of behavior!



Luckily, Ruben is out of earshot, so the date ends untroubled ...

as does this update, which I hope you enjoyed!
