HSS holiday party

[wotanon]

Who: HSS and friends
Where: HSS dorm
When: Forward-dated to 430

[Tis the season for holiday parties! If you're close to anyone on HSS, you've definitely received an invite for this one off-screen.]

[In the dorm itself, someone has hauled a big pine tree in a planter into the center of the main room. It's undecorated except for the lights, so far, but there are craft materials nearby - glitter and glue and pine cones and ribbons and brightly-colored paper and everything else you might need to make your own decorations. There’s also a box out, filled with the decorations everyone made at the HSS party last year, ready for hanging]

[Strands of lights and delicate dangling snowflakes hang from doorways, and holly garlands give the whole dorm a festive atmosphere]

[Hurricane has been busy in the kitchen, and the table is set with a Christmas ham, prime rib, fried chicken, mini hasselback potatoes, mashed potatoes cauliflower gratin, stuffed acorn squash, maple pecan sweet potatoes, a citus and fresh greens salad, and cranberry sauce. For dessert, there's a variety of puddings as well as Santa's hat cheesecake bites. The drinks include eggnogg, hot apple cider, and enough booze to spread a little extra Christmas cheer]

[Resting his chin on his hands like a kid sitting and watching a particularly engrossing TV show.]

Hm? Is there a problem?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... no.

[Peeling the top half down, leaving him bare to the waist]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Continuing to watch.]

Right, right, since I've already seen you stripped down all the way anyhow ♥

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Flushing darker,]

R-right.

Uh.

[Hesitates - ducks his head a little. Hesitates longer, then pulls the zipper down the rest of the way. Off comes the rest of it, leaving him just in his boxer-briefs]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Absolutely enjoying the show and not at all hiding his smirk.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Pulling the new jeans on, decidedly flustered, and the shirt right after them,]

[bondsofsuffering]

Heeeh, I knew I had good taste, but it seriously suits you!

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Pulling on the hoodie, too]

You think?

[He looks really pleased, if still decidedly flustered,]

[bondsofsuffering]

Yeah. The hints of green work well with your eyes, and bodysuits don't really leave much to the imagination - looser clothes like this give you a much more relaxed, comfortable look!

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Flushing, dark]

Well... thanks. Just goes to show you know how to pick em.

[Hesitates, then crosses over to Izanagi]

...and thanks for this. For real. It's real nice.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Reaching over to take his hand.]

I like to think I'm decent when it comes to fashion.

[...And press a kiss along the knuckles.]

It's nice to see you in something different, too. These kinds of clothes suit you best, I think.

[crossmyheartandhope]

This kinda stuff's what I wore back home, when we weren't in uniform.

[bondsofsuffering]

Much better for relaxing in, right?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Way better.

You're right, too - it's gonna be awesome for parkour.

[bondsofsuffering]

I wanna see you show off your best moves in it next time!

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, you know it. Just you wait.

[bondsofsuffering]

I'll add it to the date itinerary!

[crossmyheartandhope]

We got an itinerary now?

[bondsofsuffering]

Sure. Why not?

It's more stuff to look forward to.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... okay. Yeah.

[Coming in a little closer, so that he can take hold of Izanagi's hand]

That sounds nice.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Giving his hand a squeeze!]

But for now, want some help with the tree decorations?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds like a plan.

You wanna make a couple for me?

[bondsofsuffering]

Ehhh, you're really giving me that much power?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah.

I mean, if you wanna.

[bondsofsuffering]

Okay, but don't blame me if you end up regretting it!
