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.

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.]

[ascending_angel]

[Smiles right back]

Then I definitely can't say no.

[idateforsupper]

Next weekend, then. I'll bring you back stage and show you everything.


[JUST NOT EVERYONE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE SUCK.]

[ascending_angel]

Sounds like a date to me. The manager won't give you any trouble for that, will he?

[idateforsupper]

I know how to deal with him if he does.

[ascending_angel]

[Gives her a pointed look]

I don't want to get you in trouble.

[idateforsupper]

You won't. I promise.

[ascending_angel]

[Gives her a quick kiss]

Fine. Then I promise that I'll be there.

[idateforsupper]

Good!

[Kisses him right back.]

So. Do I have to make you sleep again?

[ascending_angel]

[Laughs and covers them both with his blankets before settling back down on his side and holding her again.]

I think I can be good tonight and give you a break.

[idateforsupper]

[Like you were even bad last time.]

Good to hear. We don't need you being impossible again.

[ascending_angel]

[Smirks]

Everything's good tonight, so I don't think I have a reason to be.

[idateforsupper]

Hee.

[Closes her eyes as she's all up and close with him.]

[ascending_angel]

[He just smiles at that and gives her one last kiss before drifting off to sleep.]
