Fourth Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Fridays at the end of a break week were still Fridays that usually weren't busy at all. So, after getting bored of being bored, Hannibal kicked himself out of his own room and took a trip down the the nearest common room.

He found the quickest movie that looked moderately interesting (or at least had explosions) before going into the kitchen and peering at all the equipment. He wasn't a chef. But he was hungry. He could make passable macaroni and cheese, he decided.

If he didn't burn the mac and cheese and didn't set the common room on fire, he'd consider it a job well done.

[If no one's around to hear a common room open, is it really open? Of course it is!]

"I think you just don't want to kiss me," he decided and added his goopy cheese mix to his macaroni.

"Or, I just decided I didn't feel like lining up and paying for it," Angela suggested. That one was probably far closer to the truth. "There are many options here."

He had to give her that one. It made sense. "Well, I wouldn't have made you pay, first of all. Second of all...there really is no second. That was a nice dodge of directly answering that question, though. Brava."

"It wasn't technically a question," Angela pointed out.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"...no, it wasn't," he said and stuck his tongue out at her. "If it was a question, would you answer it?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela stuck hers out right back.

"No, I do not, not want to kiss you." Well, it was a straight answer... with a few confusing double negatives.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Wait." Poor Hannibal, easily confused. "What? Wait. You don't? You don't don't do?"

[Zomg me too! Night!]

"Your own fault for asking a really backwards not-question," Angela told him.

"Are you almost done with that?" she asked, nodding at the mac and cheese goop. Check the distraction fu.

He finally looked down to see that yeah, that mac and cheese was mixed. "Just gotta heat it up. Microwave's are wonderful inventions."

He stuck it in and waited.

"You thinking I'm gonna share?" He would. Obviously.

"You did say that you would already," Angela said, doing her best to look adorable and in need of such things.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"But you've been oh so mean to me," he teased.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"You know you love it really," Angela shot back, jumping off her spot on the counter.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I suppose," he said, taking his bowl out of the microwave and dishing out two plates. "You're just lucky I like you."

"Living with me would really suck if you didn't," she said, going to dig out glasses, and something to drink from the fridge. She can be helpful, see!

"True enough," he said and laughed. "Though, really, even if we didn't get along, I'd be a very good roommate. I did learn some manners as a kid."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you would," she agreed, offering one of the glasses. "I've managed to pick up some good habits along the way too."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

He took the offered glass and said, "To cover up all your wild and crazy ways?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Because apple juice does that so well," she said with a big grin.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Apple juice is quite magical," he agreed with a grin.

[Have fun!]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Never heard it put quite that way," Angela admitted with a laugh. "But I can go with that."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Well, I've never had magical apple juice," he said and laughed, "so I'm really just bullshitting now."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"But you can actually get away with that around here. It would not be the weirdest thing I've seen or heard."
