✧ masquerade

[ignoranceisblight]

[Ratio doesn't necessarily want to be here, at this IPC-sponsored masquerade ball. It could certainly be worse than most parties, he supposes, but he doesn't really want to be here all the same. He can't say he minds the mask too much, at least.

Perhaps him being a wallflower is to be expected, though.]

[He nods, leaning over to give Vasha a kiss.]

I thought we could celebrate your first week on the job with dinner. Where would you like to go? [A beat.] And would you like to have it at my place?

[takesitall]

Pizza, and yes. I just want something simple but tasty.

[ignoranceisblight]

[He nods.

The drive to his place doesn't take long, and he'll let Vasha get situated before settling in next to him with his phone to order pizza.]

Whatever extras you'd like as well.

[takesitall]

This is the place with the good pasta, right? And the dessert options?

[ignoranceisblight]

It is, yes.

[He'll just go ahead and hand his phone over.]

[takesitall]

[Tappy tappy tappy.]

Here. You like everything I picked, yeah?

[ignoranceisblight]

[Reading over it, reading over it... He nods, pressing a kiss to Vasha's temple.]

Yes, I do.

[takesitall]

Good.

[And ordered! And then he is collapsing against his boyfriend with a sigh.]

[ignoranceisblight]

[Said boyfriend is promptly pulling Vasha into his lap, admittedly.]

[takesitall]

I am so tired, Veritas.

[ignoranceisblight]

I can imagine. [A pause.] Rest, dearest. I'll wake you up when the food arrives.

[takesitall]

Promise?

[But he's already dozing off.]

[ignoranceisblight]

[A kiss to his head.]

I promise.

[... And he'll shift Vasha around so that his boyfriend can be a little more comfortable napping on him.]
