The Roof, Tuesday night

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was in an extraordinarily good mood for some reason. He had no idea why, but why bother questioning it? Currently, he was up on the roof, having a cigarette as he enjoyed the cool night air.

Sometime shortly after visiting Savannah, Anders had remembered the whole shortage of bath products yesterday and made a run into town to restock; he'd gotten distracted after that, working on his Glider for a bit.

So he still had a paper bag of soap and shampoo in hand as he came up to the roof; seeing Bel up there was just a bonus.

"You're looking kinda cheerful," he noted.

"Hey," Bel said, grinning at Anders. "Just in a good mood for some reason. How are you doing?"

"Fine." Anders quirked an amused eyebrow at the grinning and fumbled his cigarettes out of his pocket. "I got you some more of your bath soap, by the way."

[demonbelthazor]

"Thanks, that was awfully nice of you," Bel said, conjuring a fireball and holding it out so Anders could light his cigarette.

Okay, that phrase coming out of Bel's mouth was kind of weird. And maybe kind of a little bit wrong, but Anders shook that last bit off.

"Hey, nothing to do with being nice. I try to take care of you," he replied, leaning over to light his cigarette off the fireball. "Part of the boyfriend duty. Y'know."

[demonbelthazor]

"And you're good at it," Bel said, closing his hand to extinguish the fireball. "I appreciate it."

Okay, hearing that didn't really throw Anders for a loop; his athlete's ego had been a little hungry for some vocal appreciation. He grinned at Bel through the mouthful of smoke he exhaled. "Do my best. How was work today?"

After the Devils Nest, after a bottle of vodka, Johnny wandered up to the roof. Maybe to fly? Who knew. He was more than a bit tipsy.

And he spotted those two. "Oh god. Maaan!"

[demonbelthazor]

"The usual," Bel said. "Hot, sweaty, and Conner was annoying. But I got a new hard hat."

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey, Johnny," Bel said pleasantly.

Okay, nice he can handle. "Hey there, Bel. How's it going?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Just enjoying the night air and spending some time with my boyfriend," Bel said. He fished his pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and held it out toward Johnny. "Want one?"

"McKnight's always annoying these days," Anders said scornfully. "I saw the hard hat, though. Like you weren't hot enough without help."

"Johnny," Anders said coolly, exhaling a long stream of smoke. "How's it going? Treating my littler little sis okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel beamed. "You're pretty hot yourself," he said.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Nah, I don't smoke," he deadpanned. Then he totally busted out laughing cause dude? It was funny right? Johnny Storm smoking! Hah!

"Well, you know Anders, I know a lot of little sisters so you might want to clarify the one your speaking of."

Okay, his ego was really liking this. Anders allowed himself a tiny smirk and slung an arm around Bel's shoulders. "You are seriously in a mood tonight," he said cheerfully.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Savannah," Anders replied, less challenging, more relaxed and neutral. "You treating her okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

"What's so funny?" Bel said mildly, pocketing the cigarettes.

[demonbelthazor]

"That a complaint?" Bel asked, bumping his shoulder against Anders's.

"Maaan, she is so freaking hot," said Johnny, making a whistling noise. "When I was in her room the other evening for our date?" Poor Johnny just drank too much tonight. "I wanted - hey, won't bore you with the details. So, whatchat been up to there Anders? Huh?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," Anders retorted, and tried to sneak a quick nip in at the side of Bel's neck. "It's nice, seeing you all cheerful and stuff."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Me smoking. Dude? Don't you get it? Smoooookin'?" Why did no one ever get that joke? It was freaking hilarious! Come on!

[demonbelthazor]

Bel made a happy noise. "I don't know," he said. "All of a sudden I was just in this great mood."
