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.]

"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.

"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?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I can think of something," Bridge says. "It's a two player game, though."

[needsaparrot]

"Kinda hope so. Playing wi-- uh, by yourself just isn't as fun."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge snickers. "Good choice of words there," he says. "So, uh. You wanna go first?"

[needsaparrot]

"You want your present first, maybe?" Xander suggests. "Or we could give mine a testdrive..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Both options have their appeal but I'm gonna have to go with present," Bridge says, after thinking about it for approximately one and a half seconds.

[needsaparrot]

Xander leans over the arm of the couch for a moment and reaches down to pick up a square package wrapped in bright blue paper. "I was morally and ethically required to buy you this once I knew it existed."

Bridge unwraps the present and just kind of... stares at it for a few moments before bursting in to laughter. "I love you," he says fondly.

[needsaparrot]

"'Course, if you pimp your bed with that, it'll mostly only impress Anders and RIC," Xander muses.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey! I'll have you know that people other than Anders and RIC spend time in my room. Granted, not at night when the lights are off."

[needsaparrot]

"Unless you're Japanese."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...True," Bridge admits. "Still. Are you saying you've got a better suggestion as to whose bed this should belong with?"

[needsaparrot]

"Well, you got me a present we can both use. Seems like it's only fair." He's generous that way. Really.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That does have a certain logic to it," Bridge muses thoughtfully. "Now I suppose the question is, whose present do we want to use first?"

[needsaparrot]

"The dice are closer," Xander points out. "And need less non-included hardware."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yet again with the logic," Bridge says. "One might say you're on a *roll*."

[needsaparrot]

Xander frowns and picks up the dice. "Is there a combo here that comes out to 'Pinch butt?' "

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so," Bridge says. "But didn't you mention something about that yesterday? So technically, you owe me one regardless."

[needsaparrot]

"So I do." Xander reaches over to take care of that problem.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I don't let just anyone do that, just so you know," Bridge informs him. "In fact, that's actually a Xander-only privilege."

[needsaparrot]

"See, and I'd been wondering," Xander says. No, he hasn't.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Really?"
