Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Evening

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

His roommate was hosting a movie night in their floor's common room, but Conner was in the mood for some soccer. He'd missed all of yesterday's televised World Cup games thanks to detention, which he considered nothing short of a crime, but he wasn't going to miss any more today if he could help it. Well, he'd missed all the live World Cup coverage for the day, but there was a D.C. United vs. Los Angeles Galaxy game on tonight and that was better than no soccer at all.

So he headed down to shamelessly hijack the second floor common room, laptop and USB mini-aquarium in hand. Kira's CD that he'd picked up at Empire Records today was in the DVD drive of the laptop, and he turned that on low as he waited for Fox Sports West (yay for having every channel in existence) to get past the commercial break and start with the broadcast already.

With the USB mini-aquarium bubbling away beside him, he put his feet up on the table and waited impatiently.

"You turned him into the ferret?" Xander's mouth falls open.

Xander actually has the grace to look sheepish as he nods.

"So, like, yelling 'Hi, stop almost having sex against me, I'm not really a tree' never occurred to you as an option?"

"It's hard to talk when your mouth's been sealed shut on account of your skin being turned to *bark*." Xander grumps.

"Well...okay fair, but apparently it's not hard to turn somebody into a ferret when you have no lips?"

"Apparently I don't need to recite a spell outloud for it to work... which is... interesting and possibly something I should tell Udonna." Xander muses.

Xander blinks. "Um. Good for you? Maybe next time you turn into a tree and need a spell to not recite out loud, though, you could pick one that doesn't turn my boyfriend into a small furry mammal."

"Maybe next time you two could get a room."

"We were going to! We just... got distracted on the way. And since one or the other of us keeps chickening out when it comes to that, usually me, I was kinda not gonna interrupt the mood and oh god I need to shut up now."
