Homecoming

[demonbelthazor]

Having decided to go to the homecoming dance after all (instead of brooding in his room, he could brood in a dark corner or something), Belthazor tried to decide what to wear. It was some sort of 80s theme, right? As if he'd get dressed up like that. No, he'd wear his normal clothes.

He wondered if Phoebe would be there. And if she was going with someone.

Angelus knocked on Bel's door, having time before he went to pick up Lisa. He was already dressed for Homecoming

"Don't pretend you're not in," he said through the door. "I can hear you making those frown lines on your forehead."

"I'm here, I'm here," Belthazor grumbled, opening the door. "Still not sure just what I'm going to do there other than lurk in a corner."

"Johnny's got some fun planned," Angelus said as he walked through the door. "It should fail to be boring for that alone. You're not wearing that outfit."

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor looked down at himself. "Since when have you been taking fashion class? What's wrong with it?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I don't need to take a class that I have a doctorate in," Angelus opened up Bel's closet and began flicking through the clothes he found inside. "And you've been moping in it, that's what's wrong. Moping carries. I find that unacceptable."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm done moping, really," Belthazor said. "Really. Got it all out of my system."

"Try that on somebody who doesn't have to timeshare with the brooding wonder," Angelus told him. He pulled a black shirt out of the closet, rubbing the fabric between his thumb and index finger to test the feel of it. "Not that I ever like to brag about soul boy but he mastered a funk for a century that only stopped when he fucked a cheerleader and I came back on the scene. Speaking of which, when was the last time you had any?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Ummm...a week or so ago," he admitted. "Been busy with the debates and stuff. Not much time for other extracurricular activities."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh," Angelus said, as though that confirmed something. He dismissed the shirt he was holding and sought out another. The second one was just as black, but he gave it an approving nod when he tested the fabric. "Wear that one. You need to kill."

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor pulled his shirt over his head revealing his rippling muscles and firm abs, tossed it on the bed, and took the shirt Angelus held out to him. "Yeah," he said, as he put the new shirt on. "I could use a little violence and mayhem. Don't want this place to make me soft."

"You've got that malaise," Angelus said eyes lingering over Bel's muscles so that he could accurately sketch them later. "I can tell. It's the kind of thing only blood can cure. Though I imagine in your case you won't be drinking it."

[demonbelthazor]

"Drinking it isn't too bad," Belthazor said absently. "But it doesn't do for me what it does for you. Spilling it, on the other hand, now that's fun."

"That's my boy," Angelus gave Bel a hearty slap on the back. "We should go. This weekend. Get your mind back in the game. "

[demonbelthazor]

"Sounds like a plan to me," Belthazor said with a grin. "Now what's this that Johnny's got planned, and where do we get a good seat?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Didn't get all the details. I prefer never to ruin another man's artwork. Here put these on - " Angelus handed him a pair of black pants "I know it's Homecoming, I know it involves that pet chemistry project of his, and I know it involves Callisto who I was so not making out with on the Myth & Magic Field Trip, no matter how much it might have looked like that."

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor nodded. "Oh, right, that, I should've know that." He changed into the pants Angelus had picked out. Where was that porn music coming from? "Callisto's in on it with him? She's an interesting one."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No she isn't," Angelus said, perhaps too quickly. "I mean - whatever. Annoying. But hey, if she's helping Johnny." He tried, and perhaps did not stick the dismount on, a non-chalant shrug.

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor peered at Angelus. Seizing on something to deflect from conversation wandering back to his angst, he asked, "Something you're not telling me?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I will go to my second grave swearing it was a spell."

[demonbelthazor]

Belthazor snickered. "What happened? C'mon, spill."
