The wedding is tomorrow!

Do what you gotta do. Decorate the church, decide what to wear, buy a gift for the happy couple, bake all the things... throw a bachelor party?

Oh and don't forget to water the apple trees. Never do that.

So where's that gonna leave me? The town? The Walsh's? Cause you can't own up to the commitment you made? You're my brother, I know you ain't this horseshit. You don't get to be a coward and leave me with my pants down goddammit.

[ drops his folded shirts onto the bag and turns. textbook anguish. ]

[ family is important. family trumps everything. it's maybe the one thing he knows for sure. so if his brother needs him, how can he just ignore that? ]

...There's truly no other way?

[nosleeves]

[drops hand]

[why else would he push it. he's not that asshole, that's his real brother]

I'm sorry.

[inenochian]

[ looks down at his little runaway bag. ]

[ it'd be so much easier if he could just. fly away. just right now, from this exact spot. with wings. ]

Then it's good I didn't speak with Rita or the Walshes yet.

[ it's ok his real brothers would liquefy him and THEN tell him to shut up. ]

[nosleeves]

[hesitates a bit. might feel a little guilty i mean, why couldn't he marry the bastard instead. who knows]

[steps forward and gives him a shoulder pat. very brief before he backs off. thats as touchy as he'll get without a knife to one of their throats]

[inenochian]

[ physicality between angels is probably limited to a vulcan level.

so that was pretty cuddly. ]

[ there's probably a reason like, he's about to be the deputy mayor and they're planning to marry norman off to the duke's cousin or something. that's why they changed his name. ]

[ picks the shirts back up from the bag and holds some out to his brother like fine, i'm staying. but you're helping me with my laundry. ]

[nosleeves]

[raises eyebrow before taking them and passing them from hand to hand in idle inspection.]

You should probably go out tonight. Humor them.

[inenochian]

All right.

[ less inspecting, more hanging. ]

But you're coming with me. [ and you really ought to get laid because that thing you have for my boss is kind of creepy. ]

[nosleeves]

[she'll love me...eventually]

[slowly reaches for a hanger]

Mayor's got me up early, but....[fuck it] Like I'd miss my only brother's bachelors. [who do you think is buying the lapdances]

[inenochian]

[ well there you have it. it's almost a necessity of charity that they go have a stag party. strippers got taxes to pay too. ]

[ squares away the mess he'd made of his room and then it's chocolate fountain fun time. ]
