33 Apocalypse Ave, Saturday Morning

[not_every_mage]

It wasn’t often that Anders was the first out of bed on a weekend, but he’d somehow managed it today. He slipped out of bed without disturbing Dante or Kathy and went for a rambling walk across the icy island, keeping an eye peeled for anything that might work in potions.

He didn’t find any plants worth gathering — he supposed that was too much to expect for February, anyhow — but he did find still-warm croissants at Jeff, GoB’s, and he reckoned that was almost as good. He put the pastries into a basket and started the coffee, enjoying the moment of peace.

"Nope," Dante said. "You gave that up when you ditched me to Ice Feet Hell."

[not_every_mage]

“Should we start making her wear socks to bed?” Anders wondered. “I’m starting to think there’s something wrong with that girl’s circulation.”

[rebelseekspizza]

"I think it's the California weather thing," Dante said. "They gotta breed them with like, coolant in their veins to deal with that shit."

[not_every_mage]

“And now we have to suffer because of it,” Anders said sadly. “Though I guess there are some compensations.”

Like getting to be in bed with Kathy at all.

[rebelseekspizza]

"I dunno if last night was compensation enough," Dante said. "I might need a repeat."

He reached past Anders to get a croissant.

[not_every_mage]

"You always need a repeat," Anders chuckled. "Good thing I'm up to the task."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Are you?" Dante said, raising his eyebrows judgingly right before he stuffed his face. "Still cold here."

[not_every_mage]

"What, am I supposed to sit on your lap while you stuff your face?" Anders asked, as he edged into Dante's personal space.

[rebelseekspizza]

"That'd be a start," Dante agreed, impertinent smirk on his face.

He'd already stopped eating the second Anders got up close and personal, but details.

[not_every_mage]

“Brat,” Anders teased. “Demanding brat.”

But he was sliding onto Dante’s lap anyhow. It was N awkward fit, but he didn’t mind.

[rebelseekspizza]

Eh, he still fit. And Dante appreciated the opportunity to slide an arm around Anders' waist and put a hand on his knee.

"Better," he said. "I mean, you're still talking shit, but I'm definitely defrosting."

[not_every_mage]

"Don't defrost too fast," Anders warned. "I don't want to clean a puddle of Dante off the floor."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante managed a highly mature snicker. Really.

"Depends on how you play your cards," he said.

[not_every_mage]

"And if I like playing them naked?" Anders asked, which didn't really follow but seemed logical in that moment.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Then maybe if we wanna make all your wants and don't wants play out at the same time," Dante said practically, "We should grab a shower."

He pressed a kiss against Anders' cheek.

[not_every_mage]

"That'd make it all work, wouldn't it?" Anders asked, equally pragmatic. "I'm up for it if you are."

Emphasis on the up.

[rebelseekspizza]

"You did get me breakfast," Dante mused. "Fuck it. Let's go. I haven't seen you naked in like, ten hours."

[not_every_mage]

"Poor thing. I don't know how you're getting by," Anders said, and leaned in to kiss the crook of Dante's neck.

[rebelseekspizza]

"I know," Dante said, grinning. "I got no idea either."

But he was totally the asshole trying to lift Anders up as he got up.

[not_every_mage]

"It's unfair how strong you are," Anders observed. "You aren't even that much taller than I am."

He wrapped his legs around Dante's waist, as he was after all a helpful soul.

[rebelseekspizza]

"If it helps," Dante said, smirking at him as he carried the guy off to the bathroom, "I can't make shit appear out of thin air."

Well. Besides the weapons.

[not_every_mage]

"We both have our uses," Anders said, smirking back. "Nice, isn't it?"

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante grinned. And... nudged Anders up against the bathroom wall for leverage.

"I can think of something that's nice," he said, and kissed him.

[not_every_mage]

"Me too," Anders said, kissing back."But we might have too many clothes on for it."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante laughed softly. "You want me to let you down?" he asked, pretending to think about it.
