Re: Set after Monsters Inc. Double Date. Mike/Celia PLUS Sulley/RandallafterandalasiaAugust 1 2013, 19:57:47 UTC
Were you thinking of the Sulley/Randall as having started post-Monsters Inc, or them having been dating in secret? 'Cos if it's the former, I might have an idea...

A/N: Okay, so this ended up getting a bit different than you probably meant... the date sort of happens earlier on, when things are still really awkward. But hopefully it's still a little like what you were after?
"But seriously, Sulley, you should come. I can introduce you to Melissa -- lovely lady, my third cousin once removed, I think. She got divorced a while back, has two great kids-"
"Mike," said Sulley, "one, you need to stop trying to set me up on dates. Two, you need to stop doing it in the middle of the game."
MU versus Feartech. They still watched the game out of an old sense of loyalty to MU, or possibility animosity to Feartech. Sulley had hoped that it would mark a break in Mike's weeks-long campaign to set him up with increasingly obscure relatives.
"I'm only doing it because you refuse to go on a date." Mike said grumpily. There was a moment's pause, then he sprang without warning from his chair, snatched up the controller, and turned off the TV

Sulley had to close his eyes against the ludicrousness of that mental image. "Mike," he said carefully, "I'm not seeing a girl."
"Girl, woman, whate- oh." Realisation must have dawned mid-word. Sulley opened his eyes in rapidly-deflating hope of seeing at least some of the game. "Well, that still doesn't rule out the double date

"Nice to see you two, Celia," replied Randall. Sulley could see him wringing two of his hands under the table, and the way that he and Mike were eyeing each other as if neither was sure that a fight was going to break out

Mike looked at him with a frown for a moment, then threw up his arms. "Fine. One chance. And you're picking up the bill for this evening."
"Are you okay, sweetie?"
Randall glanced around at first, to see if one of the others had come back, before actually believing that Celia was addressing him. Her tone was concerned, but sweet, as she spoke to most people, and he relaxed just enough to stop his tail from slowly fading to invisibility. "Do you mean me?"
"Yes, silly." She swatted his arm, so lightly that he didn't even have the reflex to change colour. "You're sitting there not saying anything and peering at that menu like it's written in another language."
"Well, this evening didn't exactly strike me as the best of ideas," he said drily

"All right." Mike strode over to the booth and almost slammed down into his seat. "Rules for the night: no strangling, no kidnapping, no-"
"Mike!" said Sulley and Celia at the same time, with parallel looks of horror.
Randall, though, had almost coiled up in the chair, and looked angrily back. "Shall we add no illegal banishments to that list, Wazowski? Or are we going to pretend that-"
"Quit it," growled Sulley, his voice a little louder than theirs. "Now, we all came here for a nice meal, and I don't want this descending into a foodfight before the evening is out." Celia caught his eye for a moment and gave an infinitesimal nod, before sliding closer to Mike and running her hand up and down his back. She tilted her head towards him, and a couple of her snakes reached out to brush his skin. With Mike visibly relaxing, Sulley finally gave in and put one of his hands on Randall's side, feeling the tension running through his body. "So how about we talk, like civilised people. And no work talk

Not the op, but I enjoyed this story a lot. The callbacks to monsters u were good and its nice that everything didn't resolve itself peaches and roses after only one dinner date.

More playfully, he brushed Randall's crest, watching it flicker upwards in response. Randall blushed, fronds reddening, but didn't stop him from doing it any more. He had thought it was equivalent to ruffling hair the first few times, until Randall had admitted that it meant something completely different in the reptilian world.
I really, really, REALLY need to know what that was about, right now, I'm burning with this need.
