Rich Hall, Yale [after Friday Night Dinner]

[sith_happened]

Anakin shut the door to Rory's suite with the kind of careful precision that only meant he really wanted to slam it until it fell off its hinges.

"Tell me I don't have to go back to that house."

"Oooh, are we on a date? It's been forever since we had a date," she murmured, kissing his lower lip.

"We can picnic on the floor and everything," he said, smiling and finally pulling back. "You pick the music and make the order. I'll be back with food and booze."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Will do." Rory saluted. For she was a dork.

[sith_happened]

"Dork," Anakin said fondly, kissing her nose and heading out the door.

He returned twenty minutes later with vodka, Chinese food, and ice cream.

Mmm. Comfort food.

Rory had changed out of her dress and was now curled up on the couch. "Do I see ice cream?"

[sith_happened]

"You do," Anakin said, leaning over and kissing her. "You changed. I liked the dress."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'll wear it again," she promised, smiling up at him.

[sith_happened]

"I miss seeing legs," he teased. "Ice cream first?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You see me naked all the time. And yes of course, ice cream first. Can we pour the vodka on it?" she wondered.

"After the first part of the night? I'd say it's a requirement," Anakin replied, making a face. He put the Chinese bag down on the floor and waved two spoons over to his hand before sitting next to her. He smiled. "And skirts remind me of the summer."

"Well, that dress reminds me of Grandma asking if I'm turning into Mom," she replied, rolling her eyes and taking a spoon.

Anakin leaned across to kiss her softly. "I don't think I got enough credit for not tipping the salad course onto her head for that," he said with a small smile.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You get so much credit. Mom appreciates you being awesome, by the way," she murmured, kissing the corner of his mouth. "And so do I."

[sith_happened]

"That's the only one I really care about," he admitted softly, pouring the vodka over the ice cream and holding out a spoonful towards her.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I've never had vodka and ice cream," she said thoughtfully before leaning forward and taking the bite.

[sith_happened]

"If it's disgusting, we can toss it in the orange juice," Anakin said with a smile.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's not bad," she remarked, blinking a little.

[sith_happened]

"Really?" Anakin said, sounding surprised. "I was just looking for the booze, honestly."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Strong but with the ice cream, I'm not like, dying over here," she said, nodding.

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said, scooting a little closer and snagging a spoonful for himself.

"You're going to be okay?" he asked softly.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." She kissed his cheek. "I mean...yeah. It's just frustrating."

[sith_happened]

Anakin shifted so he could wrap both arms around her and pulled her back against his chest. "More ice cream?" he asked, holding it in front of both of them.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You have to ask?" she replied, tilting her head back to kiss his jaw.

[sith_happened]

He made a contented little noise. "I just wanted to check before I ate it all," he teased, dripping a bit onto her nose before kissing it off.

"Mmm, that is a mean threat," she decided, frowning very sternly indeed.
