Motel de Cheap-for-DC, Washington D.C., Saturday Night


Isabel had gone home after their meeting with Parker and Jarod, but Xander and Bridge had decided they'd be less wiped-out tomorrow if they stayed here instead of going back to the island. It'd have been nice if there were any rooms left at the Hyatt besides the rockstars-have-parties-in-the-jacuzzi kind, but any bed without living things besides him and Bridge in it would do, really, for one night.

At least this was a slow week, not another one filled with recovering from being taken over by somebody else for the weekend or visiting people in the clinic. Hate The Moon Day Parties and birthdays were a lot less exhausting. So was spending time with Bridge, meeting new tenants, and goofing off with old friends.

Tomorrow, though.... not so much with the goofing off. Xander flops back on the motel room bed and stretches, then sits back up, fiddling with the remote, kind of tired and wired at the same time.

"Stop that!" Bridge groans. "Go back to that first thought. That was a good thought. If there's anyone's leftover psychic energy in here I *so* don't wanna be picking up on it."

Bridge doesn't actually mind the attention to detail. Like, at all. "S'the one, yeah," he murmurs, wriggling out of his own clothes.

"Okay, that's, that's good. Also could you maybe be wearing less shirt now? Please?"

"Much better," Bridge murmurs, now that Xander's hands are back on him. He takes the opportunity presented by the shirtlessness to send his own hands wandering across Xander's chest and, eventually, downwards.

"And you don't need to put quarters in *me*, either," Bridge replies, returning the grin.

"Good. I'm glad you're following along with that," Bridge's grin turns somewhat smirk-like as he moves in for another kiss.

Well, the short circuiting is a kind of a message in and of itself, really. At least, that's how Bridge chooses to interpret it.

Which is good, really good, and Bridge hopes that even with the lack of words, he's managing to get *that* message across.

And Bridge can't help but let out an unhappy whimper at the sudden loss of contact, even though he knows perfectly well *why* Xander moved.

Which Bridge appreciates, really. Almost as much as he appreciates the fact that Xander remembered to pack such Things in the first place.

Well. They're both *human*. Close enough.

Bridge is up for that. Pun oh-so-very intended.
