MCA #0 [Thursday Evening]

[bridge_carson]

After closing up the library for the day, Bridge heads over to Xander's on a mission. A mission to cook a dinner that would not involve any replicating of food. Well, okay, maybe a little replicating. If there was no other option. Because it's the 13th and that's usually anniversary-day but this month it's also Rosh Hashannah, but that kind of works out nicely since there's no one else in Fandom Bridge would rather spend tonight with anyway.

[ooc: for he who owns this apartment, yes.]

"Thank you," Bridge says, beaming at Xander. "And marshmallows can be an exception too, if you'd like."

[needsaparrot]

"Well, not tonight. For one thing, no marshmallows."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Just cake, dessert-wise. And cake is not for throwing."

[needsaparrot]

"That'd be a waste, yeah. Unless we were invaded by demons that disintegrate when you throw cake at them."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You can't just say things like that!" Bridge might be flailing a little now.

[needsaparrot]

Really, Xander ought to know better. "Well at least I said it now, when we've got plenty of cake," he points out.

"I am not having a demon invasion during holiday dinner," Bridge says firmly, glaring out the dining room window as if that will make any potential attacking demons stop and reconsider.

[needsaparrot]

"I hope that works better here than it used to in Sunnydale," Xander says, thinking of a certain Thanksgiving dinner.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Aaaaand now Bridge is back to looking worried. "Seriously?"

[needsaparrot]

"Well, there was the Thanksgiving we got invaded by Chumash ghosts, and the birthday with the arm in the box..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but... Hellmouth! If anything, Fandom's on more of a... Weirdmouth," Bridge says, still giving the window the occasional suspicious glance as he fills up Xander's plate and then hands it over.

[needsaparrot]

"Weirdmouth - I like that." Xander takes a bite of chicken, then grins. "...Can I keep you?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Consider me kept," Bridge beams back at Xander.

[needsaparrot]

"Can we keep the chicken too?" Xander takes another bite. "Not this exact chicken; that would be bad. But conceptually. A conceptual chicken."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"There can be conceptual chicken," Bridge agrees. "To go with the conceptional marshmallow fights."

[needsaparrot]

"Okay, but no conceptual chicken fights. Too greasy."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ewwww," Bridge makes a face at that. "No, the conceptual chicken is just for eating."

[needsaparrot]

"...Other people don't have conversations about conceptual chicken, do they."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Bridge admits. "But I don't want to be here with other people. I want to be here with *you*."

[needsaparrot]

"Good, because I'm not sharing my chicken."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Not even with me?" Bridge ignores his own fully-loaded plate in order to attempt to snag a bite of Xander's.

[needsaparrot]

"Well, yeah, but that doesn't really count. You're mine, so it's not so much sharing, just re-distributing." Like many things he says, it exits his mouth without really checking in with his brain for permission.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"So I'm kept *and* I'm yours, huh?" Bridge asks with a grin. "I like the sound of that."

[needsaparrot]

Xander kind of does too, though the combination of words makes him glance down at his plate and flush slightly. "Not like in the 'needs a collar' sense, though."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Uh," now Bridge's expression pretty much matches Xander's. "Yeah, no."
