Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

[demonbelthazor]

Bel sat on the couch in the common room, idly making a list. Carriage. Horse. Flowers. Dinner reservations. Jewelry.

Now where was he going to find a pair of glass shoes?


[Open, of course.]

"What? Dude, no!" Anders exclaimed as his face turned bright red. He laughed sheepishly. "I just meant . . . I'm jealous you have an excuse to go to all that effort, is all."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel chuckled. "Yeah, I'm pretty lucky, aren't I?"

Anders nodded firmly. "Do me a favor and don't ever forget that, okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded solemnly. "I won't."

"Good, 'cause if you do? I will kick your ass," Anders promised. There was a smile on his face, but the way his arms were crossed over his chest might have hinted that he meant it.

Bel raised an eyebrow. "I could take you down with one hand tied behind my back," he responded.

Anders held his gaze steadily. "Not if you forget, you won't be able to."

He kept up the pose for a moment or two, then shook his head. "Geez. Am I taking this way too seriously or what?"

[demonbelthazor]

"You're cute when you try to act tough," Bel said, smirking.

"I'm always cute," Anders replied, returning the smirk. "I don't have to try."

[demonbelthazor]

"Maybe you should run for Homecoming Queen then," Bel said, grinning.

"I'd crush the competition," Anders retorted. "It'd be totally unfair."

[demonbelthazor]

"Especially if you wear that red number again," Bel said.

"Mm. Too bad I returned it, huh?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel snapped his fingers. "Damn, no chance of a repeat performance then?"

Anders quirked an eyebrow and did five steps of a catwalk strut. "Well, I could find something even better. Y'know, if I cared."

[demonbelthazor]

"Something black and corset-y," Bel said, making an hourglass motion with his hands.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Okay, please don't tell me you've actually been thinking about this." Anders wouldn't have been disturbed except for the hourglass motion, really.

[demonbelthazor]

"Well, you put on the quite the show before," Bel said innocently.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Whose fault was that, again?" asked Anders.

[demonbelthazor]

"That would be yours," Bel said.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Right."

Foiled again, dammit.
