Holiday Inn, Limbo City, Friday Evening

Anders had booked and paid for the room, ignoring the clerk's dirty look at the blood and muck on their clothes. They wouldn't be the only people caught in the day's devastation looking for someplace to sleep tonight

He'd silently followed Dante through the hotel halls to their room, and placed a quick order for pizza before he took off his boots and crashed out on the bed. The thousand bruises and scrapes of the battle stung his skin.

He should shower. He didn't want to move.

He turned to Dante, still registering faint surprise at the newly white hair. (He supposed they were lucky if that was the worst permanent change Dante saw.) Words failed him when it came to addressing the true horror of the day, but he should at least say something

"They said the pizza should be here in about half an hour," he said. "I'm actually impressed it's not longer, considering."

"I got to 'get Anders to a bedroom and buy a load of pizza' and stranded there," Dante admitted, smiling without realizing it at the touch against his skin. "I could probably do that a few months more and not get bored."

"I'll figure out the details later," Dante said, eyeing the box. "Right now, we got a second pizza box to snag."

It was his turn to slide out of bed and pad over to grab the other box. "I still think we should do a roadtrip after grad," he said.

"Go down south, see if Florida's as tacky as they say it is," Dante mused. "Hit the mountains on the way there... then do a theme park."

He grinned at Anders as he sat back down on the bed. "Hey, we can go to Disneyworld."

He was half-joking. A third?

"I think so? I've never been," Dante said. "Supposed to be one of those things all good folks take their kids to do at some point."

He reached for another slice. "We missed out. We need to fix that."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: eyyy)

[personal profile] rebelseekspizza 2017-04-11 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I wonder if they have booze in Disneyworld," Dante mused. "I'll bet if they do it's the good booze. Imagine having like four kids running around hopped up on sugar in that place."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: thinky)

"So we go to Disneyland and get drunk on frazzled parent booze," Dante said. "Then... New Orleans? I hear that place is fucked up."

One way of putting it, yeah.

"Fucked up like they have weird booze and great food and half of them are French or something," Dante supplied. (There were some things he hadn't gotten around to learning by age seven at home.) "And they got hit bad by a hurricane a while back."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: white hair oof)

"Hey, that'd be the next stop," Dante said, poking Anders back with his own foot.

He felt both less and more tired, but in a good way. "California. Beaches and babes."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: looking down)

Dante grinned at him. "Does seem like my kinda place," he said. "Lazy and fun. But we can hit up Portland after and let you chill with the hipsters."
rebelseekspizza: (dante pb: white hair wide grin)

"That place looks fucking huge," Dante said, grinning. "Think it's on the way to California."

Dante smiled at him. He was starting to come around on this 'planning for the future' thing. "Want company or are you tired of my bullshit?"
rebelseekspizza: (dante white: kissy)

Dante let Anders tug him along, smiling slightly to himself.

He hoped Anders wasn't looking back; he was pretty sure his expression was nauseatingly fond.

"Yeah," Dante said, pulling his shirt over his head. He tossed it aside to the bathroom floor, getting to work on his pants. "It's... I dunno."

He looked up at Anders. "I can get stuck in my head," he said. "It's good to just kinda be and still get it all out there."
