"...Okay, so I know guys supposedly say this all the time? But seriously, God's honest truth, this has never happened to me before."

Xander gives him a look of horror. "What?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Maybe he did a spell or something? I mean, the same thing could be happening to Z, or Sky, or Syd... well maybe not the *same* thing, exactly, in Z or Syd's case," Bridge groans. "I so don't wanna ask any of them about this."

[needsaparrot]

"That's...evil!" Duh.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well he *is* trying to take over the planet," Bridge points out. "Not exactly a nice guy."

[needsaparrot]

"Even the First Evil never tried to mess with my --" That was going to come out wrong no matter how he phrased it. "Our sex lives. Except for kidnapping Spike, but I think there was more of a plan there than just making Buffy really cranky."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but that's Earth-evil," possibility of wacky extra-dimensionalness notwithstanding. "Gruumm is extraplanetary evil."

[needsaparrot]

"Flattering as it is to think horny aliens care about my dick," Xander says, annoyance eating away at his own caring about bad phrasing, "....actually no, not flattering. Just creepy."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You don't think it's permanent, do you?" Bridge worries.

[needsaparrot]

Xander stares at him. "You do realize you're supposed to be reassuring me that it's not right?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well it's never happened to you before!" Bridge flails. "And I've got less experience with this never happening than you do!" That... made sense in his head. Now? Not so much.

[needsaparrot]

"It's kind of happening to you too," Xander points out, giving up trying to parse that in favor of grasping at pointless details.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge groans, dropping his forehead against Xander's shoulder. "S'never happened to me before."

[needsaparrot]

"Being with a guy who couldn't.... well yeah, since you've never been with anybody before me." Which requires a pause. "Oh, no. Trust me no no, it is not you."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge lets out a deep breath. "Cause, you know, we only just made it to six months. Would hate to think you were bored already. I know I'm not. Really really not."

[needsaparrot]

"So not bored," Xander assures him. "Pissed? Definitely on the specials list, but we're not serving bored."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge says again. "Which I said already, but. You know. It bears repeating. Because there's a lot of stuff we haven't done yet, and I'm not just talking about, you know, sex. But life stuff. Life-together stuff."

[needsaparrot]

"Dude, I'm not checking out here. They make pills and stuff." He's twenty-eight. Gah. He shouldn't need pills. "Whatever. I realize we didn't actually mention it in the wedding vows, but it's part of the whole sickness/health thing."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You're not gonna need *pills*," Bridge says. "It'll get better. It has to! Even if I have to give it a, a, pep talk, I will!"

[needsaparrot]

"............A pep talk?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Yes?" It's not his craziest idea! Near the top of the list, maybe, but not his craziest.

[needsaparrot]

Xander just repeats slowly, "A pep talk."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I draw the line at pom-poms, though," Bridge says seriously.

[needsaparrot]

"...You're kind of twisted," Xander says, not without a note of admiration in his voice.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Is that a good thing?"

[needsaparrot]

"Depends if it works."
