Xander's Workshop, MCA Roof, Early Sunday Evening

It'd been one of those weekends. If by that you mean "those weekends you dream about and then wake up promising yourself never to touch runny cheese at a college mixer ever, ever again."

Still, he had a guest, of sorts, and he might as well show her that he did something besides Apartment Managing, without showing her the other thing he did besides Apartment Managing. Which was why they were currently in the elevator heading for the roof of the building.

"So what's up here?" Jessica asked, curious more than anything else. "You got a motorcycle or something up here?" If it were Tony, it would totally be a motorcycle. One he would never be able to fix. But absent that, she was kind of stumped.

"For serious?" Jessica laughed, amused. "Anybody ever used it?"

"'kay." Jessica followed him along, wondering again. "I saw Willow up at the school. Had a real nice talk with her. Did she get work done on her eyes? Or a chemical peel? 'Cause I swear, she looks the same as she did in high school."

"Yeah, sure. She said water. You could stand to be drinking that water, you know," Jessica told him. "Me, I could never stand that, but you're still young. Even if you're not as young as your boyfriend," she added under her breath.

Squinting for a moment, Jessica walked in, and looked around, not quite getting it. "You fix stuff?" she asked, tilting her head at the bench. "They pay you extra for that?"

"Project," Jessica repeated, then slowly frowned. "Wait, wait. Wait, you designed it?" She got a little closer to get a better look at it, then pointed from it to Xander. "You did this?"

"You didn't even take Shop," Jessica said, then paused, thinking. "Or wait, did you take Shop?" Because maybe she's forgotten. It's been a while. "This is... it's nice." Really nice, the kind of thing people pay money for. And after a second, she connected it to some of the stuff in his apartment, and blinked. "Hey! You made that stuff at your place!"

It had been a long weekend. Well, no longer than your average weekend, time-wise, unless one considered that it was also the tail-end of a week off of classes, but still. Long in the whirlwind-of-activity sense. And so Bridge was definitely looking forward to spending time with the boyfriend. This time, without any interruptions by unexpected visitors.

He lets himself into the apartment, clicking the door shut behind him. "Xander?" he calls out. "You home?"

"Hey," Bridge says quietly in greeting, curling up beside him on the couch.

"So that was your mom, huh?" Bridge says conversationally, running one hand through Xander's hair.

"She seemed... well. I could tell she cares about you," even if she doesn't really *know* you, he doesn't add.

"Still, wasn't exactly a picnic for you, having her show up all unexpected like that." He pauses. "Well, except for the mixer which technically was a picnic, of sorts."

"I could get some food to throw at you," Bridge offers. "But that'd involve, you know, moving."
