Dorm Roof, Monday Evening

[cantgetnorelief]

He'd been good about smoking lately, but after yesterday Anders felt kind of justified in wandering up to the roof and lighting up.

Especially after it had belatedly hit him that with everything going on in his life the past few weeks, he'd completely missed out on the first few weeks of baseball season

Bel headed up to the roof to check on the state of his garden after the school explosion. Fortunately, it seemed to have survived. He spotted Anders and nodded his head at him. "Hey," he said.

[cantgetnorelief]

"Don't I rate a nicer greeting than that by now?" Anders teased from where he was sitting on the edge of the roof, his feet dangling over the edge.

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey, baby?" Bel smirked.

[cantgetnorelief]

"That's much better," Anders replied, patting the spot beside him.

He . . . wasn't joking, actually. Much.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel settled beside Anders and pulled out his own cigarettes, lighting one with a fireball. "Sign up for workshops yet?" he asked idly.

[cantgetnorelief]

"Showoff," Anders jibed. "Yeah, did that a little while ago actually."

He scooted a little closer and leaned his head against Bel's shoulder. "Gonna tell me I should've asked permission first before I chose which ones?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel smirked again. "Bet I can guess which ones."

[cantgetnorelief]

Anders snorted and flicked ash off his cigarette onto the grounds below. "Fine then, take a stab at it."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel took a deep drag off his cigarette and exhaled slowly. "Flying, blowing shit up, and Phoebe's class."

[cantgetnorelief]

"Holy --" Anders looked at him in surprise. "I didn't think you knew me that well."

[demonbelthazor]

"I know you better than you think," Bel said. "You fly on your glider, a ship would be the next step. I know you had fun in Revolutions. And Phoebe's class, like you'd miss that."

[cantgetnorelief]

Anders ducked his head so Bel couldn't (hopefully) see him blushing. "Aww. That's kind of sweet. It's okay, I won't tell."

[demonbelthazor]

"So." Bel tapped his fist on Anders's knee. "Any plans for this weekend?"

[cantgetnorelief]

"Nothing really?" Anders lit a fresh cigarette off the butt of the dwindling one. "Thought about maybe heading out and catching some baseball somewhere but I'm not too sure I want to do that alone. I mean, I didn't think you guys would be interested, and . . . yeah."

[demonbelthazor]

"Phoebe wants to visit Venice," Bel said casually.

[cantgetnorelief]

"Yeah?" asked Anders. "Sounds like fun. You guys gonna go?"
