Hannibal had been putting this off for months now. Considering he had just forty eight hours left on the island, it seemed that his time of hedging and procrastinating had come to an end. When he made bets, he filled them even if it took him time.

So, he'd move some of the furniture aside and out of the way all while wearing a thick bathrobe. Yes, he was wearing spandex pants under that bathrobe and no, he wasn't going to show that off until he absolutely had to. Kate was just lucky he hadn't tried to find a loophole.

There was a boombox nearby, queued up with the most ridiculous song known to man. In a few minutes, he'd have to click play and actually dance.

He was going to dance. In spandex. To a girly song. He hated his life and yet, he'd keep making bets. Stupid bowling game.

[Oh god, this is so open. I'ma put up some OCD just for my benefit but this is SO open. Not Hannibal's last post in Fandom, btw!]

"Glad I could satisfy," he said proudly. "I am awesome like that."

[vanillajello]

"Yes you are." She wouldn't argue with that today. "Still amazed you went through with it."

"I don't back down from bets, no matter how ridiculous," he said, shrugging. "I made my bed and I slept in it."

"That's gonna bite you in the ass one day," Kate remarked. "Mark my words."

"It already did!" Hannibal pointed out. "Did you not just see me dancing?"

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

Kate rolled her eyes. "I meant in a more serious way. This is not serious, as much damage as it probably did to your dignity."

"Yeah, next time? I'm gonna find out if I'm about to be hustled," Hannibal said, smirking at her.

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"You were not hustled, babe," she snorted. "I told you I was good at bowling, and I was good at bowling. You were just a cocky dumbass."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"A cocky dumbass that you loooooooove," he teased, grinning.

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"So?" she asked. "That's irrelevant."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I know. I just wanted you to admit it," he said and shrugged shamelessly.

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"Think you've already made me admit it before," she pointed out, resisting another eyeroll. "Also, I don't think I was that close to you when you lost the bet."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but we grew closer," he said, unaffected by her almost but not quite eyeroll. "And I get to be sentimental, okay?"

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"No," she said. "I forbid it."

Because she had the power to do that. Of course.

"It's a good thing you're not the boss of me, then," Hannibal said and stuck his tongue out at her.

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

Kate snorted. "I will so miss your maturity."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it takes one to know one, babe," he said and smiled. "Don't even try to play that you're not immature too."

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"I'm totally mature."

Not really, and she knew it too. Almost painfully, after this week.

"More mature than you, anyway."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"I will give you that you might be more mature than me but you are not mature by any stretch of the imagination," he remarked. "Not even close."

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"I am," she insisted. "You're just jealous."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Of you?" Hannibal scoffed and waved a hand. "Not even."

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"You totally are."

She just decided that he was, and then looked smug about it. It was that simple!

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Not even," he said and shook his head. "Stop being so smug, babe."

Re: After the Concert

[vanillajello]

"You like me when I'm smug," she decided, and didn't look a bit less smug. "I'm smug all the time, so you must like it."

Re: After the Concert

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Yeah but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you." He was. "So there, babe."
