Pi R Squared

"She's not a that." Eddie gave him a bit if a pointed look. "Put your glasses back on, the whole unfocused thing is giving me the creeps."

After actually chuckling softly, and only for a mere second or so Jeff leaned forward and resumed picking at his food. Not that he'd gotten any of the swill in line but was eating a properly prepared and portioned meal. "Still I have to agree with Woodrow. Two lovely women and you alone in one home? Most college boys would call it a dream come true."

Quincy turned to Jeff and nodded in firm agreement. "No kidding."

"It's not like that." Yes he protested a bit too much Eddie's green gaze drifted back to Pi as she paid with small elegant motions. The demoness leaned in lightly and was commenting on the clerk's hair, gesturing to it and eliciting a bubby laugh from the student worker. He had to admit she definitely had a way with people.

"Well why not? Seriously!" Woodrow sighed and shook his head before setting down his backpack. Off he went to get into line, still shaking his head the whole way.

"Right so. How are you two?" Not really in the mood to go on and on about this Eddie set his bag down. While he tried to keep his eyes on the pair again they meandered back to Pi. She stopped holding up the line with an apology to the man next in it, the gent didn't seem to mind after her plush smile. Even from across the room he could her heels click against the floor and it reminded him of the sound of her hooves. Fantastic ass swayed all the way to a table. Damn she hadn't seen him.

"Not too bad at all, thank you for asking." After dipping his head Jeff quietly packed up what food he had left while twisting to watch Pi as well. "Incidentally we took a vote, you need to shave."

"Oh for crying out loud." Eddie rubbed at his whiskers. "It's not that bad."

"Yes it is." Quincy chimed in after swallowing a bit of ham and cheese. "It's actually worse than bad. You just don't have the face for it. I'm doing fine though. The fluid mechanics class is kicking my head in but eh, I think I'll do fine. Mm, the 'rents are throwing a bash this weekend. You are welcome to come over. If the weather ever turns nice we'll have croquet and badminton."

"Maybe? Really it's that bad?" Dejected Eddie sighed and stole another look at Pi after the woman sat.

Quincy's answer was quick. "Yes."

"Listen it is obvious that you want to go talk to your girlfriend so, please." A rather wide smile actually appeared on Jeff's meticulously kept face before he gave a shooing motion.

"It's complicated." Eddie sighed. "I'll be right back."

"Ah remind me to tell you about the Dalton segment eh?" Quincy winked to him before tilting back in his chair. It was plain both men were going to observe. Hell, Woodrow was probably going to gawk from the line. Eddie drew in a deep breath as he made his way over to his demonic lover.

"Hey there." The geek cleared his throat and wished he had the first clue how to be suave.

Fortunately with Pi he didn't need to be. Her head snapped up with cheek full of salad and despite that she made a squeak of excitement and her full figured body squirmed. Holding up her fork she motioned for him to stay right there. Salad was chewed quickly she swallowed before she eased up and caught the back of his head with her hand. French manicured fingers curled into brown hair and held him there as she took her sweet time showering adoration on his lips. Once they parted she whispered low and steamy. "You found me."

"You were lost?" He nuzzled her wrist before it could get away and then peered at her salad. Eh it didn't look half bad. "Blue cheese eh?"

"You could not taste it?" With a throaty chuckle Pi leaned back. "Abby let on that you had classes today."

"The professor was sick." Shrugging Eddie gestured with one hand to the table of presidents. "So I'm just hanging out with my buds until the next one starts."

When he looked over Quincy had stopped eating and had a very distinct expression of 'holy shit!'. Jefferson was in the middle of trying to collect his composure after being clearly shocked as well. Eddie swiveled and search out Woody as well for his reaction. It ended up just being a rather cheesy smile and a thumbs up from the otaku.

Pi's laugh drew his attention back to her. She made him take her cup before lifting tray full of food. Her hip bounced playfully against his. "Well let us meet your lads."

"Lads hrm?" He was glad to take the cup. Before he head back over Eddied needed one thing answered. "Do I call you Pi?"

"No no, Eloise Baker." She swept hair strands away from her face. Anxiety was fought down.

Eddie nodded and escorted her over. "Eloise? Hrm I like that."

"Hello there." Always the gentleman Jefferson stood as Pi and Eddie neared and slid over a new chair for her. He waited to offer out a hand until she sat and the tray was settled. "Jefferson Hales."

"A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hales. Eloise Baker." The succubus slid her hand into his and gave a dainty shake. She then focused her coal black eyes into Quincy's.

The brainiac wanted to turn away but was caught in her look and after a fluster offered out his hand too. "Wow. I mean. Um, Quincy or Quince. Nice to meet you, Eloise. Eddie here said that you were just a family friend but."

"Uh." Eddie shrank a bit under his mate's glare. "It's complicated?"

"Friends with benefits." In a rather no-nonsense matter Pi cleared everything up and cast a bright smile to both of them. "So what do you two gentlemen do?"

"Uh." Quincy took a moment to clear cobwebs from his head. "Well I'm working on a physic's masters."

"At such a young age?"Cooing Pi filled up her fork once more. One out of a shoe one nylon foot slipped to tease at Eddie's ankle. She wiggled the utensil. "I have to say I am impressed." "Ah my family does its best to be good at what we do and stuff. So... where are you from, Eloise?" The sickly man watched her jaw work as she chewed with utter fascination. Poor Quince had just never been this close to a strikingly beautiful woman before. Well at least not one that was being nice to him.

"Me? Metford. I am sure you have never heard of it." She set him back to mute with a luxurious wink. Delight swelled in her ample bosom as Eddie started playing footsie back. "You, Mr. Hales? I take it you are also part of the braintrust." Pi took another bite of crisp produce.

Eddie lamented not having something to munch or drink for himself. He didn't want to stop touching her though so such desires would have to wait. Another checking glance tracked Woodrow weaving back their direction with a tray.

"I am an old joke in truth, Miss Baker. There is no such thing as a civil engineer." With a light dip of his head to the side Jeff closed his eyes. A skip later they opened. "I also dabble a bit in the science of musical instrument design."

"How delightful!" Pi smiled to the black man before looking sideways at Eddie. "I am quite pleasantly surprised by your friends Eddie. They are obviously cut from the same smart swath of cloth."

"That's us!' Woodrow gave her a wide smile as he leaned in to set down his tray. One hand was offered out and he tried to be slick as he slid into a seat. "Woodrow Munn."

"Woody." Eddie said out of one edge of his mouth.

"Woodrow." Snorting the anime-freak rolled his eyes at Eddie before looking back to his smoking hot 'friend.'

Pi was clearly pretty amused. "It is a pleasure to meet you too, Woodrow. What are you studying?"

Woodrow's face took on a sense of superior smugness as if he was going to top everyone else at the table. It was just his way really; every circle of friends had their 'asshole.' Woody really wasn't that bad once you got to know him, Eddie would claim anyway. "Me? Oh I'm a mathematician like Eddie. Really though my hearts in art and writing. You know anime stuff."

Jeff fought down a groan as he rolled his eyes. He even managed not to say oh here we go again. On the other hand Quincy was clearly interested because he always was. Eddie fully appreciated how supportive Quincy could be for his friends even in silence.

"Anime?" Pi never looked as vapid as that moment when she batted her lashes. "I am afraid I have not a clue as to what you are talking about."

"Anime? Animated Japanese Cinema." Aghast, Woodrow was simple aghast. He lifted his backpack and gestured the plethora of symbols as if that might help this striking woman with the concept.

"Oh." Pi purred and leaned forward with a scrunching of her nose and cute shake of her shoulders. "All that cartoon porn. I get it. Well that is very racy of you, Woodrow."

"No no." Flush in an instant Woodrow leaned back and started to stammer. "I, that's not what I do."

"Oh come on." Determined to get a good dig in for revenge Eddie slid a hand against Pi's shoulders as he leaned forward. The smile he slung at Woody was cutting while brows bounced. Make fun of the beard would they. "We all know you sit in your living room with only the light of tentacle porn bathing over you every Wednesday and Sunday."

"Dude! Cut it out." When he rubbed at his face Woodrow managed to give the other three men a glare before blinking at Pi. She was just delighted and hanging on every word of the conversation. Really whoever this girl of Eddie's was she was eager and upbeat. "Would you like to see some?"

"Tentacle porn? Here?" Her dark eyes slid sideways and feminine smile bent crooked.

"Jesus." Woody's egg salad sandwich was brandished with as much threat as it deserved. "Listen you. No. No, no and no. I only do serious stuff."

"He's actually pretty good." Quincy interjected. "Come on, Woodrow, show them your steampunk stuff. The detail you've put into their clothes is amazing!"

"Fine fine." The sandwich was dropped and the artist rummaged in his backpack. Eddie and Pi shared a smirk and she angled over to dot the edge of his lip with a kiss. Eddie realized this whole having a public friend with bennies was going to take some time to get used to, but it was nice. Eventually Woody had a sketchpad in hand and opened it for the couple to look at. "I don't have any of the steampunk with me but eh, this is a sketch of a succubus I was working on."

In a rather confused kitten like way Pi's head cocked to the side even as she smiled small and smug. This clearly wasn't an art style she was really familiar with. "Do you not think her bosom is a bit too big and her waist a bit too small? It looks like she would snap in half."

"They have a rather distorted way of drawing things." Jefferson finished off his all natural pop and gave the can a wobble just in case he'd missed a drop or two. "The Japanese are a queer lot."

"Besides, succubae are supposed to be sexy." Woodrow offered by way of correction.

Every ounce of Pi's face narrowed toward its center point. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Hey!" Eddie slid his hand up the back of her neck and gave her scalp a scratch. Right the last thing he needed was Pi's cover being blown on day one. "What else do you got in there, Woodrow? Any of those cool twisting dragons?"

"Huh." Woodrow shook off being momentarily stunned by the glare and then bobbed his bleach blonde head. "Right! I do. Here take a look."

When she decided to let it go Pi put her smile back on. She rubbed at her eyes for a moment and leaned closer to Eddie. Her attention focused on the otaku's rather nice work as well as picking up what little details she could about Eddie's friends. You could tell a lot about a person by who they chose to associate with.

Thus the demoness missed a small pair if feline eyes watching through one of the fogged windows. She didn't note a shake of wet cat head, flick of tail or spark of hellfire eyes. The cat had a slim feminine build and an off-white color. Licking at her paw the transformed demon- kitten snickered. Off into the rainy sky she hopped and disappeared in a flash-paper like ripple. Vapor trails of raindrops turned steam were left in the imp's wake.
