Second Floor Common Room - Evening

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was lying on a couch, Vladdie on her stomach.

The former was channel surfing and eating candy.

The latter was rolling around on his back, batting at what appeared to be a whole lot of nothing in the air.

"I noticed that," Callisto reached over to rub his shoulder. "Poor broody vampire."

Angel looked at her thoughtfully. "Can I do a thing? It's gonna look dirty, but I don't mean it like that. Not that you don't give me dirty thoughts because boy, wow, that dress last night."

"Good to know it was appreciated," Callisto grinned. "Sure, do your thing."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"It was appreciated," Angel said. "As is your trust in me now."

He took Callisto by the shoulders and gently guided her so that her back was resting against his chest. He then wrapped his arms around her with one hand placed right over her heart.

"Wouldn't let you stay over if I didn't trust you," Callisto said, putting her hands over his. "This is... nice."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel smiled, remembering how ready she'd been to kill Bel in his body when she'd thought it was Angel turned evil. "You trust me just enough. I like that."

He held her closer, feeling the warmth of her body against his. "And yeah. It is. Am I too cold for you?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"And I like you, so it's all good."

"No, you're fine," Callisto snuggled against him. "'Sides, you'll warm up quicker this way."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel grinned. "You do have that effect on me."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I try my best," Callisto grinned back.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"So, non-broody things," Angel said. He kissed the side of her head. "Last night good? Did I do okay for a double date?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Honestly, I have no idea," Callisto admitted. She turned her head so she could kiss his cheek. "But nobody died, and as far as I can tell Logan and Veronica weren't be ashamed to be seen in public with us, so we'll call it a win?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I can live with that," Angel said. He nuzzled her hair. "I liked taking you someplace nice."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"It was fun, although I have to admit I was more interested in the company than the decor."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Logan and Veronica are pretty fun to hang out with." Angel grinned, knowing damn well what she'd meant.

The really good thing about Callisto's position was that it was much easier to try to give Angel a gentle elbow to the ribs. "Well that too."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Ow!" Angel protested. "Good thing I'm mostly healed."

He grinned. "Unless you want to kiss it better?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto pretended to think about it. "What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't tend to my poor, wounded boyfriend?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Speaking of, how's my poor, wounded girlfriend?" Angel flattened his hand over her heart. "Sound like your breathing's doing okay."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I think it's all but healed," Callisto traced patterns over the back of his hand. "Not even getting more a twinge here and there from the original cut."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Good." He kissed just behind her ear. "Because there's things we can do when you're all better."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Things?" She started moving her fingers up along his arms. "You want to be a little more specific?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh no," Angel grinned. "That would ruin the surprise."

[ooc: Starting to fall asleep. Feel free to mod him and Sean going back to Cal's room for puppy naps and scrapbooking ;) ]

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"And I do love surprises," Callisto smiled. "Of course, there's still things we can do in the meantime."

Just in case he didn't get the hint, Callisto got up and started pulling him towards the door.

Thankfully Angel wasn't too distracted by potential scrapbooking and remembered to collect Sean from listening to the invisible thing's story before they left the common room.
