soldtoarmeniansThere's a trunk, and a pile of suitcases and boxes. Even a frog-shaped wastebasket which is, at the moment, stuffed with clean socks and the blankets from Xander's bed. There's also a purple frog in a tank, and there's Xander, and there's Bridge.

Xander puts the hand he'd be gesturing with back on Bridge's shoulder.He doesn't want to ask, or even think about it, wants to ignore the concept of needing to ask, and by damn he's a Scooby and the one thing he never did teach his class is the one thing they're best at, which is just that. Purposely not seeing things just as well as any other citizen of Sunnydale - just... different things.
"What're we doing about--" Xander wants to handwave, but that'd mean not touching Bridge. "--this? Us?"

Date: 2006-09-01 09:51 pm (UTC)"You're the first thing I didn't screw up," he says instead. And he doesn't add, 'I think' to that or put a question mark at the end of it, and that's something.

Date: 2006-09-01 11:09 pm (UTC)"You ready?" Willow's voice sounds like she's trying not to sound excited. "Not a big window of time for this one - we used most of that up already this week."

Date: 2006-09-01 11:27 pm (UTC)"Brrrrbbbbrrppt!" The frog croaks loudly, jumping back into the corner of his tank as Xander moves it near to the shining purple arc.

Date: 2006-09-01 11:33 pm (UTC)He slips off a glove and focuses on the portal, trying to figure out just *what* is wrong with it.
"Jeremiah can't go with you," Bridge says finally. "If both of you go through this portal-" he stops, unwilling to finish the thought.

Date: 2006-09-02 12:10 am (UTC)Xander takes a deep breath, because this isn't just one more thing, it's one more thing that he wasn't expecting, but he nods and carries the tank over to Bridge.
"Behave," he says as he taps on the lid. "No loud parties, be nice to the other Willow, and stay away from the Black Space Evil; you're not old enough."

Date: 2006-09-02 12:13 am (UTC)"I'll be a good frogsitter," he promises.

Date: 2006-09-02 12:32 am (UTC)There's Willow's voice on the phone, but Xander's not really listening as he says again, "Just one more second, okay. Please?" then slides the phone into his pocket.
He reaches for the hand that isn't holding a frog tank. The one that doesn't have a glove on it yet, either.
Xander doesn't have any more words, he's run out of them completely, so he hopes that whatever moves from his palm to Bridge's, or from his lips to Bridge's as Xander leans in to kiss him, can say everything he can't.

Date: 2006-09-02 01:00 am (UTC)He pulls the phone out of his pocket and says, "I'm ready," into it before turning it off, even though it's a lie.
"I'll call you," he says to Bridge as he steps backwards into the slightly-flaring circle of violet light.

Date: 2006-09-02 01:05 am (UTC)And as Xander disappears, Bridge can't help that, despite the decision not to use the word, it still feels like...
"Goodbye."
