Second Floor Common Room - Evening

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.

"Friends, definitely," Cally says with a nod. She then leans in and gives him a peck on the cheek. "And that makes it official, or something."

Archie blinks, surprised, and smiles in relief. "We'll consider it official, then. You don't think Samuel will take that terribly amiss, will he?"

And because he can't resist asking any longer, he adds, "You know, Bridge was awfully free about kissing people when we were playing that game the other night. I wonder if he's making a habit of it right now . . ."

"Well, if Bridge kisses Anders, they better take pictures. Cause I want to see that if it ever happens," Cally giggles. "Possibly might ask to join them, even."

Archie splutters a little bit, and his jaw drops. Not that he's picturing that scenario, or anything, really. "You are full of surprises, aren't you?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"And cupcakes. As Anders seems to make sure that's, like, half of my diet." Cally grins. "So, how've you been, Archie? We've not really sat down and talked in, like, forever."

"Well enough. You seem to be doing all right yourself, given the reports I get for the radio."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yep. I stay out of trouble ever since that whole pageant thing." Cally nods. "Straight and narrow for me."

"You should get detention on a Tuesday so I have something to say about it on the radio," Archie tells her, deadpan. "Only I wouldn't wish that on you. Seriously, are you happy with him?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"With Anders? Of course. Never been happier, to be honest." Cally smiles. "Ever."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Good." Archie pats her on the shoulder. "You do realize, I'll be obligated to hurt him if he ever does anything to hurt you."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Dude, I'm obligated to hurt him if he ever does anything to hurt me," Cally says. "I'm a big girl, you know. Just had a birfday and everything."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"I know. But you bring out the protective instinct in people, I think. I may even have that in common with your Anders." Archie reaches out and wraps an arm around Cally's shoulders briefly. "I owe you a birthday present, all right?"
