[Private Texts all around!]

[Private to Bro]

You free?

[Private to Avengers and company]

I'm going to be busy for the rest of the night. Call if there's an emergency, I'll be ignoring texts.

Tch, we can't always have what we want, babe.

[But he doesn't lean away.]

Where's the challenge in that?

[tookthename]

So it's a challenge to insult me, but compliments just roll off the tongue?

[Carol enjoys bantering with Bro about as much as she enjoys kissing him]

[brotimaeus]

I ain't complimented you yet, where you gettin' an idea like that?

[The feeling is mutual.]

[Carol's about to respond when there's a knock at the door.]

Hold that thought.

[She literally leaps over the back of the couch to get to the door. After a short transaction with the delivery guy she returns, setting two pizza boxes on the coffee table.]

Careful, they're hot.

[brotimaeus]

Sweet.

[He sits up, draping one arm around Carol's shoulder, leaning his weight against her as he peers over her shoulder.]

I'm starving.

[Carol doesn't mind the extra weight. She actually leans into him after grabbing a slice of her pie]

Tell me about it.

[She stuffs it in her mouth in a most lady-like manner. It is very, very hot but Carol doesn't seem to notice.]

[Only for the sake of not spilling his own pizza over her does he lean away with his own slice, taking a bite of the hell-on-a-pizza-base without so much as a flinch.

It's these moments when a person really has to wonder what the hell he fed Dave.]
