Dance The Night Away

[ascending_angel]

WHO: Dazzler and Archangel.
WHERE: Downtown at a nightclub.
WHEN: Directly following Booster's Post.
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Warren went and watched Alison's show and they have a talk about it after.
FORMAT: Para then Quicklog.

The show had gone on for a few hours, and somehow Warren managed to survive it. The club they played in was rundown and shoddy, and the patrons matched the look exactly. A lot of the women were middle aged and sporting leather tops, tiny mini skirts, teased hair, and lipstick so red it put the strobes to shame. The men were no better, only they were more pushy and angry drunks. Warren didn't ever step foot in places like those, and it was difficult to not be rude and grumpy about it.

Despite the cougars hitting on him and the men throwing nasty curses at him and shoving him every time he walked by, Warren managed to keep his cool long enough to watch the entire show. Booster Gold and his little get-up was obnoxious as hell, but he enjoyed Alison. She looked and sounded beautiful and he was proud of her; she looked so happy up there and no matter how gross the place was, that very fact stood out.

The pair were just tidying their equipment off the stage when Warren found himself in the company of two trashy women again. "Hello again, ladies."

They just giggled, and asked if he was interested in buying them some drinks.

How typical.

[She laughs against him, but kisses him back anyways.]

How's perfect?

[ascending_angel]

[Pulls back and gives her his most dashing grin]

Perfect is totally suitable.

[idateforsupper]

[Oh, she almost rolls her eyes at his expression. Instead, she smiles right back.]

Then that's what I'm going with.

[ascending_angel]

[Sighs contently and moves back on the bed toward his pillows]

Come over here and be perfect with me then.

[idateforsupper]

[She moves up next to him and lays down.]

How's this?

[ascending_angel]

[Rolls onto his side and wraps his arm around her middle]

I'd say that's just about perfect.

[idateforsupper]

I'd agree~

[Happy, happy, happpyyy.]

We've sure got into the habit of doing this every night.

[ascending_angel]

Mhmm.

[Presses a quick kiss against her neck]

I like it like that.

[idateforsupper]

[Heeeeee.]

I wouldn't want it any other way.

[Means that )8]

[ascending_angel]

[Settles against her, slightly nuzzling his nose along her ear and hair]

Really?

[idateforsupper]

[Her smile is small but there's so much emotion behind it.]

Yes. This is my favourite part of the day.

[ascending_angel]

Hmm. Me too.

[It is. This is a comfort zone for them where they escape all the crap of the day; Hodge, the demons, Joker, every thing...almost like they hide from it in a way, and Warren's okay with that. It's just a taste of happiness and normalcy and its becoming quite addictive]

That's why I was telling you before. I hate it when you're not here at night.

[idateforsupper]

Then we'll have to make sure that doesn't happen anymore.

[She smiles again. She hasn't left him in the morning for awhile, mostly because she knows it's okay and it's safe too. She wants to stay with him as long as she can. Alison doesn't like waking up without him anymore. It's not a fun thing, she's decided.]

[ascending_angel]

You want to stay every night? Every morning too?

[That makes him stupidly happy]

[idateforsupper]

Either here or my place. It doesn't matter.

[Heeee.]

[ascending_angel]

[He kisses her jaw]

Good. I'd like that.

[idateforsupper]

Me too.

[Just the thought of this is filling her full of gushy feelings. And here--here is Warren looking so happy even after all the stuff he has to put up with. She likes seeing him this way; she wants him to stay like that.]

And no skipping off. I promise.

[ascending_angel]

[He is happy. He's ridiculously happy to the point where he knows where these feelings are headed and fast. It's such a predictable and typical habit of his, but he can't help it. Ali just makes his dark world so much brighter, and he doesn't think she really knows how much he appreciates that]

I'm holding you to that then.

[idateforsupper]

[The same is for her, in a way. Her world is dark and disgusting and bitter, but when he's around her everything seems brighter. Better. And yes, these feelings of hers could be headed somewhere, but she's not acknowledging that right yet.]

I'll try not to disappoint you.

[ascending_angel]

I'm sure you'll do fine.

[idateforsupper]

Mhmm.

[She's quiet for a moment, just laying there with him and enjoying it.]

Is it safe to say you're my number one fan now?

[ascending_angel]

[He chuckles softly at that, not even being able to stop the grin from forming on his face.]

Of course. None of the others have anything on me, okay?

[idateforsupper]

Good. Then I'll really have to get you that backstage pass. And a tour~

[ascending_angel]

[He traces his hand up and down her side, and kisses her cheek]

Definitely sounds promising.

[idateforsupper]

It'll be just you and me.

[She grins.]
