School Grounds, Wednesday afternoon

After the two boys were handwavily gremlin bit earlier in Chris' room, Jack Johnny and Ennis Chris headed outdoors to get to work and do what need's doin' to gather the herd and keep 'em secure on Crackback Mountain.

It was just that Johnny was a bit confused and glancin' over at Chris told him that the ranch hand was pretty much in the same boat.

"Ah, hell, Chris, I don't be seein' them heffer's 'round, do you? And the good Lord strike me dead if this here be Crackback Mountain. I'll be a yankee sumbitch if these here hills be called mountains."

Hands on hips, he glared at the ground.

"You thinkin' real hard over there or are you just as confused as I am?"

[ooc: Chris and Johnny have been, with permission, gremlin bit that was handwavily done. Welcome to Brokeback Mountain, Fandom style. Woot! Feel free to notice, gander, or just plain wtf at the boys.]

"Well aren't you the charmer," she said, smiling back. "Be careful. Your brother might get jealous."

"Well, ma'am, I ain't got a brother, so that's no concern," Chris said.

Isabel had been pretty sure something was up. Hearing Chris deny he had a brother confirmed it. The facepalming when the wackiness wore off was going to be epic. "My mistake then," she said. "But it a shame. I'm sure if you had a brother he'd be just as handsome as you."

Chris smiled at the compliment. "Well, ma'am, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm a married man."

"You are? Your wife must be a lucky lady," Isabel smiled. "Do you have kids?"

"I certainly do," Chris nodded, pulling his wallet out of his impossibly tight jeans. He flipped open the billfold to show the pictures of his girls.

She would never, ever admit she appreciated the impossibly tight jeans. Never. "They're adorable," she told him. "You're very lucky."

"I reckon I am," Chris said, though he might have possibly cast a wistful gaze in Johnny's direction.

Isabel blinked, she didn't just see...he didn't just...they weren't.

"A lot of folks go their whole lives without getting what it that they want."

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, that is certainly a truth," Chris agreed with another wistful gaze at Johnny.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They were.

For both their sakes Isabel hoped whatever wackiness it was wore off before the wistful glances became something more.

"You guys work together for a long time?"

"Johnny and I go way back," Chris said, a fond smile gracing his lips. "We been runnin' herd on Crackback Mountain for a good number of years."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"A number of years. Of course," she nodded. "It's good to have friends like that."

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Indeed, it is, ma'am," Chris said. "I ain't never had another friend like Johnny."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No, Isabel was pretty sure Chris had never had a friend like Johnny. Class on Monday was going to be interesting.

"Don't call me Ma'am. Ma'am my mother. I'm just Isabel."

"Well, I reckon I ain't familiar enough with you to use your Christian name," Chris said.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ahhh," she said. "Well that's okay. We're pretty casual around here."

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Still ain't right," Chris said. "Your husband might get the wrong idea."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not married," Isabel shrugged. "Never have been. Although maybe some day. If I find the right guy."

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ya ain't got much time left, little lady," Chris said.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll be sure to tell Wyatt you said that," she snickered.

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-12 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"And who might Wyatt be?" Chris asked.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"He's the one that might make an honest woman out of me someday," Isabel explained. Which would make them related, but there was no reason to break poor Cowboy Chris's brain with that knowledge.

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I hope he's deserving of a lovely lady like yourself."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-12-13 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh he is," she assured him. "No doubt about that."
