MCA #0 [Monday Night]

[bridge_carson]

It had really not been a great day. Whatever Umbridge had done to him, it didn't seem to be wearing off at all. He'd even tried drinking all sorts of liquids in an effort to make his throat feel somewhat better, but that didn't help much. And because it hurt to talk, he couldn't exactly *call* Xander and explain what had happened. He'd have to do it in person. Of course this meant breaking the same rule that he's currently being punished for breaking before.

Which is why he's knocking at Xander's door come evening time. Only there's no answer. After waiting what he deems a sufficient amount of time, he opens the door using the key Xander had given him a while ago.

"Xander?" he calls out loud as he enters the apartment. And then immediately regrets it as his throat starts hurting worse again. An inspection of the apartment reveals that Xander is most definitely not there. So with a pitcher of water and the television turned on and showing something random, he curls up on the couch and sort of half pays attention to the screen as he waits.

[ooc: for he who owns the apartment that was modded with permission.]

And yeah, okay, Xander's maybe a little concerned about having his hair singed off, but he also knows Bridge and how careful he is, so he's not too worried.

He slides an arm around Bridge and leans back. Possibly our of breathing-range, yes.

Bridge closes his eyes and lets himself relax just a little. It's comfortable, and *right*, being here with Xander's arm around him, and he's happy enough to just *be*, for now.

Xander tightens his arm a bit, running his fingers over the back of Bridge's neck.

"Mmm," Bridge's response to that is a noise that is half-sleepy, half-pleased, all at once.

Xander rubs the back of Bridge's neck a little harder - not Swedish massage hard because hey, he's kind of sleepy too. But enough to push at a day's worth of sore throat and tension-stress.
