Caritas - Open [6/27]

Veronica was still running on nerves and caffeine when she got to work. She was grateful to see Tino was back from wherever he'd been, though he snorted at her when she asked if he'd had a nice vacation.

Aaron hadn't appeared to her again since Anakin chased him off. She was hoping that was a good sign, even though Piper hadn't been able to help her.

[ETA: Since I've heard that a number of people are showing up tonight, I'm turning off notifications. If I miss a ping where you need me, let me know on AIM (veronicamarsFH) or in the OOC thread.]

"Hey!" Anders complained, staring at his empty glass. "That was mine!"

He waved Tino over and ordered another round of Bailey's for each of them and an extra one for himself, and proceeded to down all three.

"Frak you, McKnight."

"Aw, Anders, don't you believe in foreplay? I think you should start with kissing," Veronica said.

"Chloe! Piper! Come here," she called, glad to have her former roomies for reinforcement.

Chloe looked up at the sound of her name and came over. "You rang?" she said, laughing.

"What's up?" Piper asked Veronica curiously.

"Conner and Anders are being shy," Veronica explained. "I bought them drinks for boykissy."

"Maybe you should add some glitter to their drinks," Piper suggested, smirking.

Cally peered over in the direction of the gathering.

This explained so much. So, so much.

"Did they take the drinks? Because if they took the drinks, then there must be boykissy. It's only fair." Chloe nodded.

Conner was in no way trying to hide the small forest of empty glasses behind his back. Nope.

"Nope," he said quickly, hiccuping. "Didn't take any drinks."

Anders groaned. "We're being triple-teamed. This is so not fair."

"Give us what we want and we'll leave you two to... whatever," Veronica promised.

She tilted her head and smirked. "I thought he played soccer, not baseball."

"Oh, are you both into baseball?" Chloe asked, grinning. "That explains so much."

"Dude." Conner glowered at Anders. "Baseball gets you into so much trouble."

He turned to Chloe and, in some last desperate attempt to salvage whatever suave reputation he had, gave her his most charming smile. "Hi. I'm Conner McKnight, and I play soccer, and you are pretty hot."

Chloe gave him an endearing smile. "Hi. I'm Chloe Sullivan, and I'm a recent graduate, and you're pretty cute yourself, although you'll be a lot hotter if you kiss Anders."

Veronica grinned. "I have to agree with Chloe on this one," she said. "Boykissy is very pretty."

"I like the way both of you think," Piper said, agreeing with her former roomies.

Conner sighed. "You know, I'm only agreeing to this because all three of you are hot."

"Bastard," Anders said mournfully, gesturing to Tino for a new round of drinks. "How could you turn on me like that?"

He sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. "Okay," Anders said, grimacing a little bit and maybe leaning over a little bit in Conner's direction. "What the hell."

Conner rolled his eyes. "You know, it's not like it's the first time you kissed me."

"Well, I was kind of planning on that being the last time!"

"Uh huh. And which one of those times were you planning on being the last time? Because I lost count before midnight."

"Oh, for frak's sake." Anders sighed, put one hand behind Conner's head, and kissed him. Hard.

Just to shut him up, really.

It lasted a pretty good while, too. Because he had to make sure Conner stayed shut up.

Conner might've been signaling for a new round of drinks with his free hand. Just one free hand, since the other one was on Anders's knee.

Really, now would have been a good time for anyone inclined to ogle to do so without protest from the ogled parties.

Bel happened to glance over and raised an eyebrow.

Cally glanced over at this particular time and harrumphed.
