[ Carlos admitted reluctantly, frowning. He's not sure what to make of Harry. Harry definitely seemed to like Jane which made Carlos a little jealous and nervous. He doesn't get why Harry would be seeking him out right now either.
It's just weird! ]
But if we don't ignore him then he'll probably never leave us alone again.
She feels bad outright ignoring anyone though, and despite teasing about that for the most part, she really can't bring herself to ignore him. Even if it means they'll never have a moment of peace again.
She closes her notebook and sets it aside before standing up and crossing the room. ]
I can take care of this.
[ Or so she thinks. Before she loses her nerve, she opens the door and smiles. ]
Harry, hi- we're working on homework, do you want to join us?
[ Clearly not what he was asking through the door- and Carlos isn't technically doing homework. But maybe he'll find that so boring he'll leave them to it.
[ He's not expecting Jane, but counter to what either of them is probably hoping, the development only widens his grin. Tilts it towards flirty rather than only impish as he taps the door frame. ]
Oh, hello. Didn't expect to see you here. Jane, right? Nice surprise, this. Homework sounds really boring, but I'd love to join you. See if we can't find a better distraction?
Jane's smile falters, only in the sense that she's now very uncomfortable with the turn of his grin. For all that she had assumed she could handle this, she's now realizing that she really cannot. It's one thing to talk bit- and another entirely to actually follow through.
She glances back, frowning at Carlos- this isn't how it was supposed to go... And back at Harry- ]
We don't really need a distraction...
[ She trails off a bit. She's already invited him in, after all. It would be rude to take the invitation back, just because he's trying to change the terms. ]
But the offer still stands.
[ She glances back at Carlos again, mouthing 'Sorry', before opening the door a little more so Harry can come in. ]
[ He can't stifle the delighted giggle at her response; it's a win, he'll take it as such regardless, and consequently he saunters in past her with a blatant wink and a teasing reach towards her behind, although he stops short of actually goosing her. Better if she invites it anyway. ]
If you're doing homework, you absolutely need a distraction, love. Unless you mean "doing homework", [ - and here he mimes air quotes to further the meaning - ] in which case I'm more than happy to assist you.
[ Carlos really wants to stop her before this got out of control but no amounts of whispered no and burying his face in his hands at stopped Jane from being perfectly Jane about everything.
Oh god what have they done???
Carlos glares at Harry openly for the motion of his hand despite the lack of contact. ]
People actually do their homework here, Harry
[ Carlos just isn’t... right now... he’s making something random with the printer. No distinct plan right then. ]
[ In the future, she might take the whispered plea's more seriously. She was sure it couldn't be that bad. Luckily for Harry, she's so flustered by the wink that she doesn't notice the teasing reach behind her-
She's too busy closing the door and questioning her own choices.
Jane turns back to both of them, trying to remain the ever-present ray of optimism with a tight smile. ]
Actual homework.
[ The air quotes aren't lost on her, she's just choosing to look past them. She walks past Harry, perhaps with a slightly quicker step near him, and back to Carlos, standing just behind and to the side of him. ]
Sometimes it goes by faster when you're working together.
[ Poor, sweet, still very naiive, Jane... Doesn't really understand the nature of those 'fun' things he's talking about.
She stops herself from asking, however- looking away from him as he sprawls out on the bed. Instead, she busies herself with grabbing her homework again... and maybe sticking closer to Carlos than necessary. ]
If you don't want to do your homework, I'm sure you can entertain yourself while we do.
[ Harry bats the cup aside with a snigger and stays put. No reason to move when he's already comfortable, and that flush, plus Jane's words, are really only more incentive to stay where he is.
Jane's especially. He laughs again, more suggestive this time with a smirk to match, and one hand drifts towards his waistband almost absently. ]
I think here's more interesting, pup. Especially with that suggestion. Why would I want to try to be a better person, nothing wrong with being a little bad now and then, don't you think?
[ Carlos is sure that he should just tell Harry to leave. But then again, he's not convinced that the other would actually listen to him if he did. He glances over at the other and his eyes were drawn to the other's hand at his waistband. He is very tempted to find something else to throw at Harry. ]
What are you trying to get at, Harry? [ Carlos moves closer to Jane, his arm slipping around her in a part protective and part possessive move. ]
[ Jane wasn't looking at him- she was definitely not going to look over at him. She was going to do her homework and wonder why she ever really felt bad about potentially ignoring him in the first place.
Except that laugh and then Carlos's arm around her. It was easy to tuck herself close against him, still clutching her notebook, but now her gaze is drawn over to Harry and her cheeks flush as her eyes catch where his hand is drifting.
She quickly glances away- pretending she never looked over in the first place. ]
[ He brushed lower with his hand, absent like the gesture wasn't intentional, but honestly they'd both already opened the door and now he was curious how far he could push it. ]
Your friend here suggested I entertain myself, I'm only obliging.
[ Carlos definitely is not going to answer that. He tightens his arm slightly around Jane and he does look at Harry again but he's attempting to look at him from the corner of his eye but that probably just makes it all the more obvious. ]
[He retracts his hand at their incredulity after a last pointed and deliberately lingering slide of his hand, and again crosses his arms behind his head. Jane's flush and Carlos' possessiveness only makes it better, honestly; it originally was meant more to get a rise out of them, but now it's actually kind of a turn on. ]
Well you're always welcome to join me. ...the both of you, I mean.
I don't think he cares about being polite, Jane...
[ Carlos murmurs to her and he exhales as he looks over at Harry again and it's really irritating mostly because Harry's attractive, way more so than Carlos.
And he's charming in his weird swarmy way. What if it starts to work on Jane? ]
What? Join you? [ Even Carlos didn't actually see that coming okay. ]
[ She really is still trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, really. Sure Harry is attractive, you'd have to be blind to not acknowledge that. But that doesn't mean she'd prefer him over Carlos or anything.
Just.
He needs to stop being so suggestive because she's certain her face cannot get any more red. ]
That's... [ She struggles to find the words ] You're just trying to tease us.
I'm not going to sing about it or anything, but I'm completely sincere. Maybe a bit of a tease, I won't argue that, but it's still a perfectly good offer.
[ Bingo. It might not have been his original idea when he knocked on the door, but he also wouldn't mind getting in either of their pants, separately or together. They're both too sweet and naive not to want to defrock a little, and clearly he's getting to the both of them.
So he grins at them wolfishly, and pats the mattress next to him invitingly. ]
I'm not trying to steal anyone. Just a little fun. No strings. Both of you.
[ It is absolutely not sinking in what he's implying- if the gears turning in her mind are any indication. Jane glances from Harry, back to Carlos, her eyebrows furrowed. ]

Get off my bed. [ Carlos huffs, tossing a plastic cup in Harry's direction. Of all the places Harry could have sat down!?

Girlfriend and she didn't mean...that, Harry.

There was no lie that Jane still felt a small thrill when Carlos emphasized that she was his girlfriend, or with the way his arm tightens around her.
She chances to look over at him again, nevermind how red her face is, and clears her throat a little. She still squeaks when she speaks up again. ]
There's other things you can do to occupy your time- things that are more polite with company in a room that isn't yours.
