Suite 518/520, Sunday Night

Bel was not hiding in his room. He was studying. Finals were coming up pretty soon, right?

It was just convenient that his room was an Anders-free zone.

So far, as near as he could tell, only a few people knew about his new status. Phoebe, of course, and he'd talked to Blair and Wilson. Marty knew, and it wouldn't be a jump to assume that he'd told Veronica what he'd done. But other than that, no one had approached him about it yet. So either they didn't know...or they were keeping their distance. Parker couldn't know, that he was sure of. She'd be kicking down his door by now if she did.

He picked up the remote and idly flipped through the channels on the TV. The second part of "King of the Bracelets" was on. That should be a suitable distraction. He briefly thought about calling Angel, but he wasn't ready to admit what had happened yet. There'd be time for that later.

Yeah, well, convenience was about to run out, as Anders wandered up three floors to Bel and Phoebe's suite and knocked on the door like a big dumbass.

If Anders had been thinking about it, he could have sworn that expression on Bel's face said "eep!" all over it. But he wasn't.

Besides, that would be silly. Also, his foot was in the doorway already.

"Thought you were coming by later," he said.

Anders made a tsk-ing noise. "Without me?"

[identity profile] cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com 2006-12-11 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Anders shrugged. "Just bored, honestly. Plus I got tired of waiting for you." Then the import of Bel's words caught up to him and he froze. "Oh . . . frak, I didn't think of that, I don't wanna die . . ."

Anders shook his head violently, his gaze constantly darting over Bel's shoulder into the room. He looked like he was ready to bolt at the first sign of movement. "No! Geez, I -- frak, I'll leave, then, okay? I'm sorry!"

And now, he was looking around the hallway in the same jumpy fashion. Anders probably should have felt more guilty than he did, but mostly he was just concerned about getting vanquished or something like that.

"For now, anyway," he said with a shrug. "Hey, look, if you're busy I can just . . . reschedule or something."

"Tell me about it," Anders replied. "I did have this one final project I was going to work on, Tuesday night. And then I got distracted," he added with a slightly awkward, but knowing smile.

And out came the Puppydog Face of Doom. "Well, yeah. That was why I was waiting, and all."

"That's what you said earlier today," Anders said, the slightest hint of sullenness in his tone.

"Busy studying for finals," Anders said dryly. "Right."

There was knocking on the door. Joyful knocking. Lots of knocking.

"BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL! BEL!" Jamie shouted, "Open up! We need to go to Greensboro to get her! We can go tonight and make S'mores! I brought marshmallows!"

"Marie! She's okay! She's running away from her parents tonight. We're going to meet her at the train station. Get your disco on and let's shimmy to NC," Jamie said trying to grab Bel by the arm and drag him out the door.

[NFB, OMG]

"Yeah, you can be rough all right," Anders said, the corner of his mouth quirking mischievously. Then, trying to lighten the mood a little, he leaned in closer and said with a grin, "I mean, I could always tell you if you didn't frak me now I'd tell your girlfriend."
