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."

"Well, I know that was my plan," he teased. "So it's not a bad place to start from."

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.
no subject
He opened the fresh box of pizza and selected a slice. "Where would we go?" he asked, tone an invitation to daydream together.
no subject
He grinned at Anders as he sat back down on the bed. "Hey, we can go to Disneyworld."
He was half-joking. A third?
no subject
Anders already knew what he'd get Dante for a souvenir, yes.
no subject
He reached for another slice. "We missed out. We need to fix that."

All right, Leo had been more-or-less well behaved, but Carys? Carys was a force of nature.

One way of putting it, yeah.

He nudged Dante with his foot again, thoughtful. "Maybe we could stop at the beach along the way," he suggested. "Just spend a day eating ice cream and trying to swim."
no subject
He felt both less and more tired, but in a good way. "California. Beaches and babes."
no subject
After a battle like today's, going to bed full of pizza and all talked out was possibly the best ending the day could have.

Dreamily, he added, "We should go to the Grand Canyon, too. It looks amazing on TV and I want to see it for real."

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

"I'm glad we did this," he said, as he tested the water one last time. "It's good to get a little space from everybody else."
no subject
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."
