MCA #4, Monday Evening

[suitably_heroic]

Atton had woken up that morning with only a passable idea of what had happened the previous night; there'd been five full bottles of juma in his fridge, no food anywhere, and an overly enthusiastic message from Skywalker confirming drinking plans Atton had no memory of proposing to the guy. He'd decided the wise thing to do was to get back into bed and maybe not get out of it until he stopped feeling completely miserable on every level.

By five PM, he'd given up on that, and ordered pizza.

By eight PM, he'd opened the second bottle of juma and he was waiting, patiently, for the inevitable dramatic knock/sweep into the room combo that generally heralded Skywalker arriving just about anywhere.

[[ expecting anakin, but open before he arrives! ]]

Atton grabbed around until he found the remote and turned on the television.

It took him all of two button presses to get the show on.

"There," he said, "Now we're talking."

Sort of?

"We need pizza or ice cream or popcorn to throw at these people," Anakin declared after two seconds of watching.

"All I've got is microwave pizza that hasn't been microwaved yet," Atton said, shrugging.

Without Sparkle to do his grocery runs, he pretty much defaulted to the very basics.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"I know how to make that!" Anakin said a little gleefully.

...it was takeout or delivery or Poptarts in the Skywalker home.

"You know where the kitchen is," Atton said, gesturing vaguely towards it. "Don't break it."

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"The kitchen or the pizza?" Anakin asked.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"Both?" Atton offered.

He was in his mellow drunk stages.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"That might be setting the bar too high," Anakin warned as he banged around the kitchen looking for a plate.

Atton had like, two, which he had only purchased because he'd wandered onto the island of IKEA in a fit of boredom.

He stretched out and put his feet on the coffee table, focusing on the karking stoopa television show.

Anakin returned a few minutes later. "Here you go," he said. "Two stupidly hot plates of lukewarm pizza."

He was a culinary wizard.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"How did you manage to set fire to the plates and not the pizza?" Atton asked. "That's some reverse wizardry right there."

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"There's something wrong with your microwave," Anakin informed him.

There was nothing wrong with the microwave.

Re: NFB

"It was fixed weeks ago," Atton retorted. "Sarah broke it."

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"...was it a sex thing?" Anakin asked, wincing.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

Atton stared at him.

"No!"

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"Just checking!" Anakin replied.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"What is wrong with you?!"

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"Many, many things," Anakin told him, eating lukewarm pizza.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"That much is obvious," Atton muttered, biting into his own pizza. "Watch your dumb holo, okay?"

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"Fine," Anakin said. "Ten credits that two of the women start yanking each other's hair in fifteen minutes."

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"I'm not betting credits on that," Atton said. "It's gonna happen. No doubt about it."

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"Bet one of them will break a nail and go on and on about how expensive the manicure was," Anakin added.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"So this is the kind of stuff you watch for kicks, huh?"

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

Anakin rolled his eyes. "No. I watch the Amazing Race."

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"Uh huh," Atton said, taking a swig.
