MCA#0, Friday Night

[needsaparrot]

So you'd think with the day off from the construction site, Xander would be able to have a nice relaxing time - sleep in, kick back, put the cell on silent, watch some tv, right? Well, it had started that way. Then he checked his voicemail.

First there was a prank-call from Mel, which he had to admit got him for a second. Then one from a complete stranger asking to partake of his skills in girl-talk. Which was... sort of a compliment, he guessed?

Then the offer of not-in-public OMGWTFNO from that wizard kid, which he had to call Bridge about becausesdkj see OMGWTFNO, then the bowling invite which was actually nice, even if he didn't recognise the voice. Maybe Dawn would fill him in on who it was, since he passed it on to her. Then Isabel asking if he wanted some Gatorade, which again, nice, if random. Not that she'd ever come over with it after he called her back.

Just when he'd thought they were getting less weird, there was the call from the kid who captured his twinkie (*) which was less of the OMGWTFNO and more of the WOW HI AWKWARD and FLAIL but also aww, and he had to think about his reply for a while before he knew what to say.

And then bang zoom, straight into the OMGWTFWTFWTF with a message from Bridge, and no answer when he tried to call back to find out what was going on.

And then there was what was clearly a wrong number from Peter but added worries about his BFF's relationship to Xander's concern about his own, and following that....

Well, following that was the Mountie who clearly got hit on the head by an I-beam this morning which left Xander feeling guilty about not being at the site, and following that was the one that is responsible for Xander's current state of staring in wide-eyed horror at his phone - because THAT is so not Bridge. Not that he doesn't kind of wish Bridge would call him and say something like that, but it's NOT, so... asdfghjkl!

"Huh." He starts to think about the messages he left in response to ... yeah maybe he shouldn't. "Maybe he'll figure out it wasn't meant for him?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Can I just stay here forever?" Bridge asks in a small voice, still hiding behind his hands. "Please?"

[needsaparrot]

"Didn't we have this conversation last weekend?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"*Last* weekend I didn't leave any messages on Ronan's voicemail about stripping!"

[needsaparrot]

"He doesn't know that was about stripping." That was helpful. Probably, The next thing out of Xander's mouth will not be. "I think he just thought you were offering to sleep with him. Or possibly a threesome."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely not helpful, judging from the strangled squawk that is Bridge's only response to that.

[needsaparrot]

"On the plus side, he turned you down..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Well. That's good," Bridge nods. "I mean, he seems like a very nice person but I've got you, and I don't *want* anyone else."

[needsaparrot]

"Also on the plus side, whoever invited me over for clothes-ripping and bendy stuff probably wasn't aiming for me either."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Considering that was Bel?" Bridge says. "He better not have been."

[needsaparrot]

"Oh, that'll make work interesting next week."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge groans. "And also? Now I know more about my best friend's sex life than I ever wanted to know. Ever."

[needsaparrot]

Xander thinks back. "There was anything you didn't know, after he and Conner started doing their thing in the room next door?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You? Are so not helping," Bridge pouts. "If I didn't love you so much I'd hate you."

Shh. It makes sense in his head.

[needsaparrot]

Xander could point out that he now knows more about his best friend's sex life than he really wanted to, but he suspects mere confirmation that she has one won't quite make them even.

Instead he offers, "I could distract you?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge was hoping he'd say that. "Please?"

[needsaparrot]

"Puppet show?" Xander teases.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"..."

[needsaparrot]

"...Or there could be bendy sex, that's always an option."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I like option two better," Bridge admits. "Can we choose option two?"

[needsaparrot]

"I kinda like option two myself. Just didn't want you to think I wasn't flexible or something."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Flexibility is implied with the 'bendy'," Bridge informs Xander.

[needsaparrot]

"You are not without a point." Xander makes an attempt to prove that with his lips. It's a pretty good attempt if he does say so himself.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Judging from the enthusiasm with which Bridge kisses back, one would have to say that Bridge agrees with this assessment.

[needsaparrot]

"Distracted yet?" Xander asks after a while and some air.
