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! ]]

"The kitchen or the pizza?" Anakin asked.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"Both?" Atton offered.

He was in his mellow drunk stages.

Re: NFB

"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.

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

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

There was nothing wrong with the microwave.

"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

"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.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"This is just easy to predict," Anakin said, waving his hand at the overdyed, over-tanned women sniping at each other.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"Uh huh," Atton repeated.

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"C'mon, even you can try it," Anakin said.

Re: NFB

[suitably_heroic]

"Didn't you used to run classes based on that show?" Atton said. "No thanks."

Re: NFB

[sith_happened]

"The Amazing Race? Yeah," Anakin said. "It was fun. I made the kids hunt down a mastadon once."

As you do.
