Flamingo campfire, Monday evening

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova hadn't really unpacked, so moving into the cabin hadn't been much of a stretch. An early night had meant that her body had gotten the sleep it needed to kick back onto Fandom time. Now, she had found an Adirondak chair somewhere, got a little crackling fire going, and kicked back to enjoy. Fresh air, open sky . . .

It was good to be home.

[[Open like an open thing, yo.]]

"For hoping you'd be glowing and happy?" Bel complained, rubbing his head.

"I was happy, until I listened to that," Veronica said.

[demonbelthazor]

"It was just a joke," Bel said sulkily.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"That's not something I joke about or take lightly, okay," Veronica said, not wanting to get into the details of why. "But you probably didn't say anything that other people weren't thinking anyway."

[demonbelthazor]

"Well, I'm sorry I hoped you were getting lucky," Bel muttered. "Next time I won't."

"Quite frankly the fact that you think about me and sex at all disturbs me," Veronica admitted.

[demonbelthazor]

...

"No, I don't!" Bel exclaimed.

"Then why did you spent half your radio broadcast speculating on whether I was having any?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Because wanting you to be happy and thinking of you hot, sweaty and naked are two different things!" Bel protested.

"You don't have to have sex to be happy," Veronica pointed out.

[demonbelthazor]

"Sure does help a lot though," Bel said, grin returning.

"Maybe in your world," Veronica said, rolling her eyes. "But not in mine."

[demonbelthazor]

"So noted," Bel said solemnly.

Veronica rolled her eyes again and grabbed a stick to start roasting marshmellows.

Bel lowered his head and looked at her sorrowfully through his lashes. "Am I forgiven?" he asked.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I don't know if forgiven is the right word," Veronica said. "But I won't hit you again."

[demonbelthazor]

"How can I make it up to you?" Bel asked.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Let's say you owe me one," Veronica said.

[demonbelthazor]

"Works," Bel said. "I owe you one."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Do I need to get that in writing?"

[demonbelthazor]

"My word isn't good enough?" Bel said, clutching his hand to his chest.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica gave him a look. "Is it?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Of course it is," Bel said.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Well then, I suppose I'll trust you. Just don't forget."
