MCA0: Wednesday night

[needsaparrot]

While the Policeman's ball had been a fun ending to a productive week, and Monday had even started well, Xander's anniversary this month? DO NOT WANT.

Which is why, now that Bridge is feeling better, Xander's got his apartment all set up for a romantic evening.

You know. Pizza, highly-caffeinated soda, Galaxy Quest dvds.

Xander snorts. "Right, because all my ideas are good."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, I can't speak for *all* your ideas but apart from the one where you spent three months insisting we *shouldn't* get back together, you've got a pretty good track record with *me*," Bridge points out.

[needsaparrot]

See, and a Xander who always had good ideas would probably keep his mouth shut and not say, "I don't think that was one of my bad ones."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Annnnd that would be Bridge flinching somewhat visibly and looking over at Xander. "What do you mean?" he asks carefully.

[needsaparrot]

"I just don't think worrying about whether something I do is gonna hurt you is ever a bad idea," Xander answers.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Bridge deflates. "Those three months kind of sucked, for me, though." he points out.

[needsaparrot]

Xander presses his lips together, then sighs and nods. "Yeah. I didn't love that part of it."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"But, hey. Things are good *now*, so..." he trails off.

[needsaparrot]

"So." Xander smiles, putting down his plate. "Movie? Where's that fall on the good idea/bad idea scale?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Definitely in the good idea column," Bridge says.

[needsaparrot]

"Movie with blobby aliens vs. movie with naked people?"

The blobby aliens one is actually in the dvd player, but it's not like he doens't have the other kind.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge gives Xander a wide-eyed look. "Um. Let's just stick with blobby aliens? Uh. For now. If that's okay?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander reaches for the remote. "Just checking." As he hits play, he adds, "That was an either/or, by the way - not that I judge, but none of my naked people movies have blobby aliens."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Um. Good. Because that combination really does nothing for me. Just so you know."

[needsaparrot]

"Yeah, me neither. I like the scary tentacly things to stay on one side of my brain, and the sexy funky fun things on the other." Ah, if only his dating history backed this up.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Of course, I wouldn't object to doing some of those other-side-of-the-brain things *after* the movie," Bridge grins at Xander. "I am just saying."

[needsaparrot]

"And now I'm supposed to be able to concentrate on warp core breaches?" Xander asks as the opening credits blossom across the screen.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen this one yet," Bridge says seriously.

[needsaparrot]

"That wasn't a spoiler. There's always a warp core breach."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I just meant, there should be concentrating because I haven't had the chance to see it yet," Bridge says. "It. Um. Made more sense in my head?"

[needsaparrot]

"No, I get it. Shutting up in 3...2...1." Xander grins.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say shutting up," Bridge says. "You might have to explain stuff to me, after all," he points out.

[needsaparrot]

"Oooh, good point." Xander points at the screen. "For instance that? Is 'space.' " He makes airquotes. "Which is really really big."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Okay, maybe I need to rethink the shutting up thing," Bridge says, and then employs his failsafe shutting-up method.

[needsaparrot]

Xander? Shuts up.

A lot.

With gusto.
