2019
::So ... who's yer date?::
::Chantell.::
"Chantell ... ?" Chuck's voice jumps an octave. "/Yer /bringing /the /Marshal's /daughter?"
::She's cool.:: Pietr shrugs. ::She wants to see the photography show, too.::
::I thought we were going to the movies?::
::You young'uns go to your movie. We old folks are going to the museum and we'll all meet for dinner afterward.:: Pietr raises an eyebrow. ::Sound good?::
::Sounds good.::
Pietr shoves Chuck toward the bathroom. ::Get ready. Don't wanna be late.::
Chuck scampers.
==Pixar==
(April)
Jackson and Logan are trying (and failing) to kick each other's asses at poker, swapping summaries about whatever books they'd read last (so what if they weren't the Weis?) when Logan stutters and stops. 
"You okay?" 
"Shortstack 'n Ruby're going t' that new Pixar flick," says Logan. 
"Who the hell told- why d'you even /listen?" 
"I din't!" 
"Then how the hell d'you know that?" 
"I dunno," grumbles Logan. "Think she's friends with-" 
"ANDREA!" 
Cards flutter in their wake.
==Mortified==
A piece presenting awkward!Chuck and Ruby, the double date dinner, and the immediate aftermath (probably perfectionist!Chuck freaking out that he /completely messed up the evening).
::Worry worry worry.:: ::Calm down.::
==Walk of Shame==
Pietr glances up from his tablet as Chuck slinks in wearing the previous day's clothes. He hops up, pulls out a chair, waves 'sit down.'
Chuck does.
Pietr bustles to the hotplate and fills a mug from the percolator. He turns--
::Cream?::
--freezes, turns, opens the refrigerator, tops up the mug. He presents it to Chuck with a flourish. Refills his own.
::Thanks.::
They sip.
::Where'd you--::
::We're not talkin' 'bout it.::
Pietr blinks, gapes, grins. ::You didn't.::
::We're /not talkin' 'bout it.::
He laughs. ::You /totally did!:: He bounds across the room, bear hugs Chuck.
Chuck kicks his shin.
Pietr releases him, staggers back. Sits down and rubs his leg. ::Sorry. Got carried away.::
Chuck scowls, flops into his seat, turns his attention to his coffee. ::We're /not talkin' 'bout it.::
::Talkin' 'bout what?::
Chuck nods. ::Better.::
