MCA0, Monday Morning

[needsaparrot]

Like last weekend, Xander had spent this one with his boyfriend. Unlike last weekend, said boyfriend was in no condition to do any... practice-exam-taking. As you do on Spring Break weekends. Instead, there was a lot of ice cream, ear-skritching, DVD-watching, and working up plans for a closet-remodel.

At least he still had a warm body to sleep with? Even if half the time he woke up with a furry tail tickling the end of his nose.

Which, oddly, isn't happening right now. Xander's 7/8ths asleep, so he isn't quite registering what's wrong with that, but his fingers are already patting around on the pillow reaching for something that isn't there.

"Mrrf?"

[OOC: For the furry tail-owner. Up early for great OMG a weekend away from RP - withdrawal! Withdrawal!]

"I'm totally me-shaped," Bridge says. "Well, I guess I was still technically me-shaped when I was a ferret, I was just ferret-me-shaped, because it's not like I turned in to a *different* ferret each time that's happened, so I'm just the me that's human-shaped." And also can speak English.

[needsaparrot]

Lots and lots of English. But it's not like Xander's complaining; it's nice to hear him talk after a weekend of squeaks.

"Yeah, you kind of are. You-shaped." That'd be Xander's fingers wandering all over the place, verifying that statement.

"And it's... it's only Monday, right?" Bridge frowns thoughtfully. "That leaves lots of time for Spring Break related activities that pretty much hinge on both of us being us-shaped."

[needsaparrot]

"This is good. Because don't get me wrong, I love ferret-shaped you, but I'm not taking practice-exams with him. You. Furry-you."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Practice exams?" Bridge blinks, confused. "For what? I don't think I could even hold a pen as a ferret anyway."

[needsaparrot]

"It's.... a Willow thing. Like many things that are Willow things, it doesn't mean the same thing when it's a Willow thing as it does when it's a Xander thing."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Did she want you to do the writing parts for me since as a ferret I don't have hands so much as paws?" Bridge asks, clearly Not Getting It. "Because I think that sort of thing might be against the rules and *that* sounds suspiciously un-Willow-like."

[needsaparrot]

"No, It's more like... If I gave you the category Fun Things You Could Do With A Partner Over Spring Break, what would be at the top of your list?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Depends on the partner, I guess," Bridge says. "I mean, there's actually two lists. The you-list, and the not-you list."

[needsaparrot]

"Assume it was the me-list."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Bridge thinks about this for a second. "*Oh*."

[needsaparrot]

"Willow has slightly different priorities."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well if this is *her* you-list, I'd hope so, or we'd have to have a talk," Bridge frowns.

[needsaparrot]

"I... think it's just her anybody list. Because she's Willow. And a week of no homework goes against the Geneva Convention."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Bridge wrinkles his nose a bit. "Don't get me wrong, I like learning stuff, but I'm also a big fan of breaks. Especially when I've got the best boyfriend ever to spend 'em with." First Spring Break might not be quite as milestone-y as first Valentine's Day, but it still deserves celebration, Bridge feels.

[needsaparrot]

"Well, it's not like we can't learn new things," Xander suggests with a grin that might possibly be construed as less than innocent.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"On the other hand...that is a very good point."

[needsaparrot]

"I even have books." Xander nods. "Or, ah, other visual aids."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge snickers, remembering a certain summer and a certain best friend who'd asked Xander for help with... research. "I remember."

[needsaparrot]

"Hey, some of them are new!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"All the more reason to share them then," Bridge says. "...With me," he adds after a pause.

[needsaparrot]

"So glad you narrowed that down," Xander says dryly.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well I suppose if someone wanted to borrow something they could," Bridge allows. "I just mean, if that's the sort of thing you're going to watch *with* someone, then that someone should be me."

[needsaparrot]

"We're being awfully theoretical about this for two people who just spent a weekend as different species."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It's not so much the fact that I wouldn't mind moving from theoretical into more practical, uh, discussion as it is the fact that I really like this part too," Bridge admits. "The just... being here in bed with you part."
