Christmas, Cally Style. (Second Floor Common Room, Late Afternoon)

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally, a large sack over her shoulder, plops down onto a couch in the common room. She sets down the tray of cupcakes, for those folks she doesn't have gifts for, and waits happily for folks to wander by. She's really thankful for the internet right now. She's also hoping that her emergency money won't actually be needed for any emergencies for the next... few months.

Anders climbs back onto the couch and curls up on it again. He is very obviously still not awake because the things coming out of his mouth are not in any way connected to whatever common sense his brain is making. "So not true. That kinda stopped bein' the case, um, weeks ago."

He nods once, very seriously, and puts his head back in Cally's lap again.

Which probably is not helping Rory to stop freaking out at all.

Probably the opposite, actually.

"Erm, the innocent part, he means. We're still totally cute. You said so yesterday." Cally adds.

Rory blinked.

"I'm going to forget we talked about this. As far as I'm concerned, you two spend your time behind closed doors scrapbooking and making clothes for the homeless," she finally said.

Anders scratches his head and squints up at Rory.

"Okay, you make it sound so much less fun and sexy that way."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Okay, see, I just replaced that second adjective with, 'green,'" Rory said. "See how this works?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Aha," says Anders, smirking. "So you think green equals sexy, huh? Green is totally Bridge's color. Does that mean you think Bridge is sexy?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Well, no, it just was the first adjective that came to mind," Rory said, blushing. "I'll replace it with 'sparkly' instead, there. OMG SHHH IT'S UST FOR A REASON, WITH THE REASON BEING THAT NEITHER OF US KNOWS ABOUT IT!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"So... does this mean you've... I mean... you... Not that I'm trying to pry or anything. But, like... nevermind. I didn't say anything. Scrapbooking. Homes for the Clothesless. Playing with Legos. That's what we do. Exactly." Cally smiles, embarassedly. "You're totally right. No sex. Ever."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Sex? What sex?" Rory asked innocently, nodding. She blushed. "And to answer the question you were going to ask, yes I have. But I'm older and also not Cally or Anders, so it's different."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you're not that much older than us," Anders protests. "And I don't think it has anything to do with age. Well, maybe. But not, like, that much."

He nods. "And what does not being us have to do with it?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm older. And it...matters." Rory decided not to mention she was actually sixteen when she lost her virginity. Or that she was incredibly drunk at the time.

"You're all cute and wee and adorable and innocent," she explained. "It ruins my image of you. So, in order to keep that image intact, I am imagining you two frolicking in a meadow with a group of ducklings."

It does not occur to Anders at all to completely ruin this delusion for Rory right now on the common room couch.

Really it doesn't.

Because one incident of nudity in this common room was more than enough trouble for a lifetime.

And Marty is still technically sort of standing there, probably in abject horror. Or complete amusement. Or both.

"I don't think ducklings do it for me," says Anders in complete seriousness. "Sorry."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Good," Rory said firmly. "That's the point."

She then began to walk out of the common room, humming loudly.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Was it something I said?" Anders calls after her. "Because really, ducklings? Just, no. Sorry!"
