WHO: Booster Gold and Blue Beetle
WHERE: Their apartment~, the City
WHEN: New Years' Eve, 2010
WARNINGS: Schmoop
SUMMARY: Celebrating the New Year and talking about the Justice League
FORMAT: AIM!
[ It's New Years Eve and there's boxes scattered across the apartment floor. Booster is dressed down (still in what's normally considered pajamas or work-out clothing) as he vowed and messing with a champagne bottle and a cork screw. ]
Ted:
[Ted is probably putting stuff in those boxes! Like the pile of clothes he's currently bringing in.] Good thing most of the big stuff is in the warehouse, huh.
Booster:
Maaaaybe. [ Booster pokes the glass part with the tip of the screw. ] We should just buy new furniture and leave this set here.
Ted:
You wanna? Then the next person could have a fully furnished apartment.
Booster:
This is why we're super heroes. [ Smirks. ]
Ted:
...To leave our old furniture around?
Booster:
Doing good for people! [ Waves cork screw around dangerously. ]
Ted:
Oh! Right. [He'll be depositing those clothes in a box.]
Booster:
Seriously though. [ He hesitates, slowly waving the cork screw still in vague gestures. ] You're still interested in the business, right?
Ted:
[Ted is keeping an eye on that corkscrew.] Yeah, 'course I am. I just ...don't know about the League.
Booster:
Because of--yeah. [ He looks at his feet. ] That.
Ted:
Yeah. [Little frown.] But it might be different. What with Bruce being all nice now.
Booster:
He's nice now? [ Small smile. ] But it might. I mean, it's not as big as back home and these people know us better now.
Ted:
They do, yeah. And he is! Or he has been. at least to me. It's really weird.
Booster:
Maybe he feels guilty. [ Looks back up at the confusing champagne bottle. ]
Ted:
He might. You having problems there?
Booster:
Nnnnooo. [ PROUD BITCH, BABY. Okay, he's having problems. ]
Ted:
...Here, lemme do it.
Booster:
[ Booster grabs the bottle by its neck and raises it above his ahead. ] Nuh-uh, I can do it!
Ted:
Come on now, you're gonna break it!
Booster:
I'm not going to break it Ted.
Ted:
You are if you keep waving it around like that.
Booster:
I'm not waving anything! [ Just the cork screw. ]
Ted:
Whatever.
Booster:
[ God damn it, Ted. Booster slowly lowers the bottle and hands it to him. ] What's eating you?
Ted:
Nothing! I promise.
Booster:
Is it the League? [ Because Booster CARES, Ted. ]
Ted:
[Little shift.] ...Might be.
Booster:
[ B'aw, sympathy frown. ] Don't worry about it.
Ted:
I can't not.
Booster:
You don't HAVE to rejoin them, you know. [ Sighs and fiddles with the cork screw. ] I know I've always been on your ass about quitting the super hero business before, but I...I understand now if you don't want to.
Ted:
No, I do, I'm just ..conflicted. [Another shift.] I mean. This place is weird enough having two Beetles around, y'know?
Booster:
Don't tell me it's just the name thing that bugs you. [ Cocks eye brow. No pun intended. ]
Ted:
No. I dunno. Maybe I haven't been doing enough hero-ing lately? We should go out and do some.
Booster:
Huh. [ It's true. He hasn't donned the suit in a while. He's been so caught up in work and ridiculous holiday parties and Ted to be a proper super hero. It's harder when the city is so full of them. ] Well...maybe we should.
Ted:
Yeah. I mean, I know the City has about a billion. Maybe I'm just stuck in a rut?
Booster:
We could go out. Get out of this place for a while.
Ted:
We could, but we gotta pack.
Booster:
[ Looks at boxes. ] Oh. Yeah. [ Then...he looks at the clock. It's an hour to midnight. ] How about tomorrow?
Ted:
Sure, okay.
Booster:
I think tonight we're supposed to be celebrating. [ Smiiile? ]
Ted:
[Leans over and gives him a kiss.] Yeah, we are.
Booster:
[ Hee. ] Sorry we'll have to watch the fireworks from the comfort and warmth of our couch though.
Ted:
I like the comfort and warmth of our couch
Booster:
I know. You could live on it if you could.
Ted:
Pretty much!
Booster:
You're lucky to have me around. [ Pokes chest. ]
Ted:
Yeah, I know. [Another kiss.]
Booster:
[ Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss. ] We should save these for midnight.
Ted:
Pfff. Who says? [Heeee, morekiss]
Booster:
...tradition? [ He won't object to more kisses though. ]
Ted:
Okay, fine.
Booster:
Then again. [ Fine, he'll just grab Ted and kiss him senseless since he's being so irresistible like always. ] Screw tradition.
Ted:
[Mmmm, kisses.] Okay, I like this plan.
Booster:
I knew one day you'd see my side of thinking.
Ted:
You're very persuasive.
Booster:
It's my secret power. [ Seriously. ]
Ted:
Ahahah. ['Nother kiss.]
Booster:
What? You don't believe me? [ Chu~ ]
Ted:
Sure I do.
Booster:
Either you're tired or you have another bottle of champagne open around here and have been drinking. [ He's joking, okay? ]
Ted:
Yeah, yeah. [Kiss? :D]
Booster:
Or you're distracted. [ Like there isn't enough. He grins cockily~. ]
