Fourth Floor Boy's Bathroom, Monday Evening

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

With a towel over one shoulder, Hannibal had disappeared into the bathroom about an hour ago. The hot shower had taken up most of that time but now he was out, clad in only his jeans, and standing in front of one of the mirrors, doing what guys do when their in the bathroom.

Checking themselves out, of course. It was a time honored secret tradition amongst men. They might not act it but they all wanted to look good. Had to look good out of clothes to really think you look good in them. Or something.

For Hannibal, that mostly meant deciding if he needed a shave or not. He'd decided no and then moved on to wondering if he needed a haircut. The wet hair didn't really help that decision since it wasn't doing its normal 'stick up where it pleases' schtick that he'd gotten so used to.

"Maybe I could just do it myself," he said to no one, ruffling his hair and not realizing how bad an idea that truly would be.

[Open to boys (and boys from other floors are so welcome)...and girls! Like any of the boys care if the girls wanna sneak in! This was partly due to me wanting rocksthescarf to make a post where Chuck shaved his chest hair (I used her favorite icon in honor of that) and wanting to see how many shirtless icons I could get in one place. Mondays do things to my brain.]

"Hey dude," Hurley said. "Apparently, we're throwing a party."

"All the best parties this season are in the men's room," Romeo said, before thinking (and facepalming). "... I don't think I have ever sounded that gay."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Wait, there have been other parties here?" Hurley said, totally glossing over the gay thing.

[withoutverona]

"... I don't normally spend enough time in here to know, Hurley," Romeo said slowly. "It was a joke."

"Oh," Hurley said. "I, uhhh, yeah. Didn't realize. This isn't my normal floor. I just had to wash my hands."

[withoutverona]

"Not mine either," Romeo said thinly. "I had to stop on my way back from town. It seems half the men in school are here, somehow."

"Yeah. Obviously, we picked the wrong bathroom," Hurley joked.

[withoutverona]

Romeo shot daggers at Hannibal with his eyes. "...obviously."

Hurley saw that look. "Dude, something wrong?"

[withoutverona]

"He's just an asshole," Romeo said helpfully.

Honestly. Marry a guy's semi-girlfriend, and he thought he had the right to be a jerk to you.

"Whoa," Hurley said, looking back at Hannibal.

"Seriously? He's only ever been cool to me."

[withoutverona]

"He would be," Romeo said. "I did something dumb with his girl, and ... now I think we're just fighting to fight."

Hurley paused. "Dude, are you the one who married Angela?"

[withoutverona]

"Only for one night!"

That was a yes.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good night, then," Hurley joked.

[withoutverona]

"Pretty drunk night," Romeo corrected. "Nothing happened between us after the ceremony."

"Man, what's the point in getting married, then?" Hurley said, now actually laughing.

[withoutverona]

"I loved her more than anyone else in the world, for as long as it took us to get through two bottles of champagne," Romeo answered.

"...that musta been some champagne," Hurley said.
