Day 226 l Christmas Party Mingle
[Ianto has, predictably, gone a bit overboard for the Christmas party he and Jack are throwing. The entire apartment has been decorated; there's a tree with gold and silver ornaments and twinkling lights, garlands draped over doorways, candles in every window and festive nicknacks scattered about. It looks like something out of a magazine, and may make visitors a little afraid to actually touch anything. There's also a lot of mistletoe around (one of the side effects of living with Captain Jack Harkness) so it's probably a good idea to keep one eye on the ceiling at all times.

Of course he's made plenty of coffee and some appetizers, so he hopes people really do respond to the invitation Jack sent out, otherwise there are going to be a hell of a lot of leftovers.]

	[ Dirk lifts the smuppet out of the box and scowls. It's... so good. So well-put-together. So much better than his smuppets. Fuck, he hates Bro. He shoves it back into the box and rather than taking that third one, hands the two back. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He doesn't take them, just continues holding out the box.] You're gonna wanna open this one, kid. It's got some strings attached to it, but you'll want it regardless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Yeah, because that really makes him want to take it. He sets the other boxes aside on the nearby table -- precariously right over a trash can -- and takes the third box. He sighs overdramatically and opens it up. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's Cal, dressed up like a cute little elf. His normal outfit outfit is also in the box.] I'm startin' joint custody until you get your lil man back. I'll pick him up on 230. Cool? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk stares. He doesn't even know how to react to this. His hands shake a little as he lifts Cal out of the box. And then he shoves him back in and holds the box out toward Bro. ] What are you after. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[LOOKS OVER HIS SHADES AND RAISES AN EYEBROW. are you seriously rejecting cal right now, dude??] Why the fuck are you lookin' a gift horse in the goddamn mouth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because you have some ulterior motive. Why would you be doing this if you didn't get anything out of it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Even if I do get somethin' out of this, why do you give a shit? Ain't whatever it is I'm gettin' equivalent to being able to have Cal with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The problem is he has no idea what Bro could be getting out of an arrangement like this. ] Man, I don't know. You're the one being all inscrutable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And he would never tell Dirk that it's honestly nothing. Being nice has never really been a thing for him, even if that's what this is.] If you don't wanna take C-man, it ain't no skin off my back. [Cal's little hat jingles softly, invitingly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Such an inviting jingle... ] He don't got a spy camera installed in his eyes, does he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 06:45 am UTC (link)
	[jingle jingle jingle] I'm sure you're proficient enough in that shit to be able to find out for yourself if he does or not. Ain't interested in watching you and English blushin' and scuffin' your feet at each other like the little virgins you are anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ After another moment of holding the box out, he brings it back closer to himself to look down at Cal. Those big loving eyes, that friendly smile. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-08 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	[He loves you, Dirk. Don't make him stay in the box, even if it does have air holes and soft tissue keeping it warm and comfortable.] Man, if you don't pick his cute little elf ass up right this fuckin' instant, I'm taking him back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, okay. Jeez. [ He scoops Cal up out of the box, which he tosses into the nearby trash can. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm gonna miss you, baby. [That was to Cal....] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Dirk rolls his eyes behind his shades, swings Cal over his shoulders and ties his floppy arms around his neck. ] Didn't get you anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	proboscalypse 2013-07-12 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Didn't need nothin' from you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Scowl. He's going to walk off now. With Cal. Leaving the other presents on that table. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Those presents will be returned to Dirk's bedroom at some point today, with a note from Santa, thanks to ninja skills.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
