MCA0: Thursday Evening

[needsaparrot]

Xander hadn't forgotten what day it was just because there was a date yesterday too. In fact shopping for today might have something to do with why he was a little late for yesterday.

...And being a Harris might have something to do with why his apartment now smells like a combination of chocolate cake and burny, burny death.

Hooray for good ventilation systems? By which we mean a fan and a lot of open windows.

[OOC: For the gloved one. No, not you, Michael Jackson; get your own burnt cake. Up early for great Have You Met Us We'll Be SPing This Til Tuesday justice. Tumbles off the couch into NWSness.]

"Huuh. I do seem to recall something about that in the game rules."

"Thought you might," Bridge says, leaning over to give Xander the aforementioned prize.

[needsaparrot]

"Yeah, it's funny how some things stick with you. Or to; I'm not picky."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"M'glad you picked *me*," Bridge replies.

[needsaparrot]

"Technically speaking a possessed dorm room picked you. I just ended up agreeing with it."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, then, I'm glad you had the sense to listen to a possessed dorm room." Bridge blinks. "Uh, in that case, anyway. If a room ever told you to kill people or set things on fire it would not be sensible to listen to it."

[needsaparrot]

"Oh sure, tell me that after the cake..."

Bridge just stares.

[needsaparrot]

Xander stares back, but it may be slightly ruined by the snickering at the end.

Bridge sticks out his tongue. "Well, now I'm not sure if I should let you open these," he says, indicating the two small boxes he'd brought with him.

[needsaparrot]

"What if I offer to trade sexual favors?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It's a deal," Bridge says quickly, obligingly handing over the one wrapped in silver paper (http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=3681&cat=343).

[needsaparrot]

Xander gives it a huge thumbs-up when he's peeled the paper off. "Hot cocoa - A MAN's drink. Awesome!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"The heart marshmallows make it extra-manly," Bridge says solemnly.

[needsaparrot]

"I love you so much," Xander says, cracking up. "You have no idea."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Bridge says. "I think I might. I mean, I *do* love you kind of a lot"

[needsaparrot]

"Also you're you're psychic. So okay, maybe you do." Xander waves a hand in a gesture indicating either I am reading your energy signature or wow, this toast is really buttery.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That too," Bridge says. "Though I think I'd be able to tell even if I weren't."

[needsaparrot]

"So you're saying I lack subtlety." Xander puts one hand on his chest as if wounded. And pulls a card out from behind one of the sofa cushions with the other.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I'm saying you- are the best boyfriend ever in the history of everness," Bridge says, reading the card and grinning like a dork. Not that he hasn't been doing so pretty steadily all evening, but the card manages to turn it up a notch.

[needsaparrot]

"I guess I can live with that," Xander says after a moment of assessment.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge says with a firm nod. "I'm glad. Because that means you get to open this (http://www.redenvelope.com/re/gifts/product_display/product_information.jsp?nc=91560&bct2=recipient&bcp2=1&bcm2=1$$-8070&bct4=for%20him&bcp4=3&bcm4=1$$-8072&refPg=%2fproduct_display%2fsubcollection.jsp&oid=26415297)." He hands over the package wrapped in shiny red paper.

[needsaparrot]

"Yeah, I wouldn't get a lot of use out of it if I was dead," Xander says as he's removing paper. "Except maybe down at Caritas and why does my brain not have a rewind button?"

Then he gets the present unwrapped and quirks an eyebrow at Bridge. "You got me dirty dice."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Um," he ducks his head, unable to stop the blush from creeping on to his cheeks. "Well. Yes. I did."

[needsaparrot]

"Whatever am I gonna do with those?"
