Secluded Spot on the Beach [Sunday Evening]

[bridge_carson]

Bridge has a blanket spread out on the sand and takeout cartons from Ching Tai arranged on the blanket. Now all he needs is the person he's set this up *for*.

"So that whole school blowing up issue..."

"We may have glossed over that." If by glossed over one means "did not mention at all".

"I can see where that might be something you'd want to leave glossy." Xander swipes frosting off his cupcake and licks his finger thoughtfully. "Are you gonna get in trouble if it, ah, gets unglossed, though?"

"I don't know," Bridge answers honestly. "I just know that we don't want to have to leave."

Xander looks at him, for the first time letting himself take really-for-real seriously the idea that it could actually happen. "I don't know..." What I'd do. "How to even process that idea," he admits. Sort of. Considering it's not quite the first thing he thought.

"I don't wanna be anywhere without you," Bridge says. "I meant what I said when I was little. Home is where you are."

Somehow, where the cupcake fell isn't quite as important as needing to be holding onto Bridge's fingers again right now. Xander looks down for a second, then nods. "I meant it when I said I can't lose you again."

"Which is why I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen," Bridge says, giving Xander's hand a squeeze.

"Good, because if I have to wait until I'm forty-something to see you again, Men In Uniform is gonna name me their Most Valuable Subscriber by the time fifteen years are over. Just sayin'."

Oh inappropriate humor, old buddy, who never deserts you in time of need...

Bridge can't help but laugh at that. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that?"

[needsaparrot]

"I'm gonna let you very carefully re-think the phrasing on that while I figure out where the cupcake fell."
