party ♔ ding-dong the dick's dead

[recruited]

WHO || Everyone. Everyone come if you're not on a mission.
WHAT || A party to celebrate Dimitris Sarandis sleeping with the fishes.
WHERE || Knights HQ. The fancy ballroom.
WHEN || Mid-March 2016.
HOW || Prose or actionspam welcome.

Cordelia and Steve have gotten together to plan a rather fun party to celebrate Sarandis being taken down. Abbie even managed to grab them a rather awesome band to entertain the guests and everything else was hand picked and decided on by Cordy and Steve. It's not as fancy as a squiring after party, but it's just as fun. The ballroom has been "dressed down" a little to match the relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy yourselves!

[ rude, steve. so rude...

she presses back against him just a little. look he's warm and it's chilly out here. ahem. ] Or people use that as an excuse.

[ she points up at another constellation, not ready for this to be over yet ] What about that one?

[ He's being comforting. He has no idea that she's this into the cuddling. He's old okay? He's learning. ]

True. [ He squints. ] Leo Minor, but don't quote me. The one above Ursa Major is Ursa Minor. Her son.

[allaboutme]

How do you know all this stuff?

[recruited]

I've spent a lot of time in foxholes and trenches all through the night during the war. You meet people who know things. Sometimes all you can do is talk. If no one's shooting at you.

[allaboutme]

We really need to talk about this people constantly shooting at you thing.

[ Steve figures that now is a good time to hold onto her. Which he does. His arms come around her and he holds her against him. ]

I was in the war, Cordelia, that sorta happens. [ He gets it though. Sorta. ] I'm okay. I promise.

[allaboutme]

[ ahahaha what a shitty will save. her hands come up to wrap around his arms, pressing back against him tightly. ] I mean, I get that it's a whole part of the superhero package, making yourself a target and all. Kind of a big red, white, and blue bullseye for the bad guys.

Just promise me you'll be careful.

[ If Steve could just freeze frame this moment and keep it forever he would. He feels happy here. Content. Like he doesn't have to keep trudging out into the trenches just to keep from going crazy.

Most of Steve's moves are instinct. Instinct and observing friends growing up. ]

I promise I'll be careful. [ He kisses the spot behind her ear. ] I'll try to lessen the red, white and blue I wear.

[allaboutme]

You look good in blue. [ just saying ]

[recruited]

[ Steve's laugh is soft and he shakes his head. ]

So do you, Cordy. [ He gives her a squeeze. ]

[allaboutme]

[ she turns just enough to kiss him lightly in a brief kiss ] When you can color coordinate without it looking tacky, you know it's something special.

[recruited]

[ He doesn't have much time to respond to the kiss, but it doesn't matter. ]

Well, I don't know if I can promise that all the time. Sometimes my fashion sense is a little--dated.

[allaboutme]

Well, that's why you have me.

[recruited]

Are you going to be picking out my clothes from now on? My wardrobes pretty sparse.

[allaboutme]

Don't fight it. It's better this way.

[recruited]

When are we going shopping? Cause I gotta clear my schedule. [ He laughs. ]

[allaboutme]

I mean, my schedule's pretty wide open.

[recruited]

Surprise me. I'll clear the whole thing just for you.

[ Like he's got shit to do. ]

[allaboutme]

Deal.
