Surprise! (Closed, for Davin)
Lara had been planning this for a month. She'd scoured the ads online and finally found what she wanted. With any luck Cam and Jason could keep Davin distracted while at the same time keeping a big enough space free long enough for Lara to have it delivered.
Jason - who'd kindly offered to stay late and await the delivery while Davin was out with James last night - had texted her to say that it'd been delivered and where they'd stashed it. Which is why Lara was waiting outside Davin's place with coffee and a grin at a godawful hour of the morning. That said, she was looking forward to his reaction.
"Hi." She chirped in greeting when he left his building. "Want company on your walk to work?"

But given the choice between staying up too late fooling around with his boyfriend and sleeping? He'll choose the fooling around every time. James is still up in his apartment, moving around and getting dressed in the pressed suit he brought over in his cute little garment bag. James is a little bit high maintenance sometimes, but Davin finds it adorable.
He was loathe to leave before James, but if he didn't get some momentum going, he'd never get out of there.
His sunglasses are firmly in place when he hops off of the bottom step, and he jumps slightly when Lara is suddenly in his face.
"Jesus, woman." He laughs and reaches out to take the coffee gratefully, taking a long sip and quirking an eyebrow at her. "Sure, but what are ya doin' over in my neck o' the woods? You'll raise property values just by walkin' around."

"It was a long, hard night," Davin tells her with a smirk. "Full of twists an' turns."
He laughs and walks alongside her, sipping at his coffee with a pleased sigh. Having regular (awesome) sex with the same person is more awesome than Davin could have ever imagined. They're learning each other, and it just makes sex even better.
Suffice it to say, Davin's pleasantly sore and in one hell of a good mood.
"An' how 'bout yourself?" He asks her, leaning in to bump their shoulders together.
no subject
Lara snorted a laugh and shook her head. "I knew you'd be a demon if you got laid regularly. It's done nothing but make you more cheeky." She said, bumping his shoulder back. "And I'm fine. Curious to see what you think of your gift."
no subject
"It's a good thing I didn't take ya up on your offer t'work for ya then," Davin says with a laugh. "I woulda been insufferable."
He raises an eyebrow at the mention of a gift, side-stepping a guy with a briefcase as they round a corner and the auto shop comes into view. "I'm sure I'll love it. D'ya have it on ya?"
no subject
"Yes. I really dodged a bullet there." Lara said sarcastically and laughed at the idea of his gift being with her. "If I had it on me, I'd be dead. Even with siren strength." She said as they rounded the corner to his garage. Jason had told her where to steer him so she tugged his arm and led him to one of the lockups on the edge of the property.
Stopping him, she took off her scarf and held it out. "Okay. Blindfold time."
no subject
Davin's interest was already piqued but her comment makes him even more curious. He wasn't expecting a gift at all, from anyone, and he's been completely overwhelmed. The fact that she got him something to big to even carry completely baffles him.
"Wait, really? It's way too early in the mornin' for such kinkiness," Davin says with a laugh, but he hands over his coffee and takes the blindfold from her, too curious to do anything else. He ties the blindfold around his head with an amused chuckle and tugs it over his eyes, turning in her general direction for approval. "Hopefully part o' your gift includes not lettin' my clumsy ass trip over somethin' an' break my leg."
no subject
"Oh please...I'm a siren. I know what you and James got up to twenty minutes before I showed up." Lara said, flapping a hand at him. Once Davin had the blindfold on, Lara took the key she'd been given by Jason and unlocked the garage. His gift was sitting, maybe more of a mess than in the pictures she'd been sent but it still made her smile.
She put their coffees down and walked Davin in to stand him in front of it. "Okay. Ready?" Lara said when he was positioned just so and undid the knot on the blindfold, watching him for his reaction.
no subject
She asks him if he's ready and he nods, insanely curious to see what she's gotten him. The blindfold falls away and Davin blinks at the sudden change of light only to see a big VW van. For a split second he thinks it must be a restoration job and he's going to have to pull the boss card to make sure it goes to him, because bitchin', but then he realizes that this is it. This is the gift.
"Lara, oh my god. Are ya serious?" Davin lights up and runs over to the van, running a hand over its rusty, multi-colored exterior. The thing is goddamn mess, but it has good bones. She didn't just give him a van. She gave him a project. She gave him a reason to keep doing more of something he loves on his own terms, and his own time. "Jesus, this is-"
He bounds over to her and wraps her up in a huge hug, lifting her off of her feet and spinning her around a few times before setting her down. He puts his palm against his forehead and stares at the van, gaping a bit like a fish and shaking his head. Getting gifts still isn't something he's really used to, and this is one hell of a gift. "I don't even know what t'say."
no subject
Lara watched him look the van over with evident joy and smiled. "You like it then?" She asked, laughing as he picked her up and twirled her around. "I'm going to take that as a yes." She said.
Davin was practically bouncing on his toes. "You don't have to say anything. It's going to take a lot of work to get it running again but I figured you'd like a project, now that the garage is yours."

The kiss made Lara laugh and she smiled, watching him already working his magic on the van. "You should absolutely do that." She said, moving to run her hand over the rusting metal. "Do you think it'll take a long time?"
no subject
James might, he thinks. James is a little high-maintenance, but he isn't stuck up. Davin could probably persuade him. Or Mira. She'd totally be willing, and it's even something they've talked about before.
He just decides how much he wants to have sex in the back of his new van.
"It all depends," Davin answers, pulling the back doors open to take a look inside. "The parts might be a little hard t'track down, an' I'll have t'work on it in my spare time."
He turns around and gives her a huge smile before shutting the van doors. "But I'm lookin' forward t'all of it, Lara. You'll have t'take a ride with me when it's all done."
no subject
"Good luck getting James to slum it." Lara said, laughing.
She smiled at Davin and nodded. "I expect to be chauffeured all across town when it's ready." She said as they locked up the garage. Pulling out the little keyring, she waited for him to hold out his hand and then dropped them in. "Happy birthday, Davin."
no subject
"Hey, he's already slummin' it just by datin' me," Davin says with a laugh. "But nah, I think I'll take Mira. We've talked about goin' down the coast."
Davin turns to accept the key with a genuinely touched smile, and then looks up at her with big, golden eyes. "Of course. Thanks so much, Lara."
no subject
Lara smiled at him and nodded. "You're welcome." She said, looping her arm through his. "Now come tell me about James and give me all the gossip-slash-blackmail material i'll ever need."
no subject
"What is it that ya wanna know?" Davin says with a warm laugh. He pulls his keys out of his pocket and uses a tiny nudge of magic to separate the keyring enough to slide the new one on, then puts them back in his pocket and looks over at Lara with a smile.
no subject
"Well, you tell me. Does he keep that grumpy face on him at all times?" She said with a wink.
