Actually Pretty Quaint Mansion on Phoenix Way, Thursday Evening

Mike was turning thirty-six today.

And he wasn't doing a goddamned thing about it. Hey, last year he'd straight up forgotten about his birthday, and that one had at least been one of those big ones that ended with either a five or a zero. He didn't really see a reason to make too much of a big deal of this one, either.

Okay, so he had a beer in hand. And was just lounging on the couch like a man who'd at least decided to relax for his big day. Wasn't that enough?

[ooc: Primarily for that lady friend of his, but open!]

It was apparently a thing that these two just brought food to each other, because there was Brooke with a box, knocking at the door.
newroutines: ([pos] Good stuff.)

Mike had had relationships that had been based on sharing way worse things than food. So he was good with this.

He peeled himself off the couch and made his way to the door - and he was not disappointed. "Hey, look who it is."

“Hello there, birthday boy,” she greeted him. “I brought you something.”

Well, clearly.
newroutines: ([pos] He did that to himself.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-26 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"You brought me something?" Mike repeated, then chuckled and shook his head. "Dunno, you might have the wrong house, ma'am. Ain't no boys here. Just me, an old man."

Mike, you're thirty six.
gobrookeyourself: (so there)

“You don’t look old to me,” she said, studying him. “Maybe distinguished. Distinguished slash hot”
newroutines: ([pos] Lol okay.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's a new one." No, really, no one had ever called him 'distinguished' before. He gestured her inside. "Like, now I'm pretty sure you're just flattering me to get in my pants."
gobrookeyourself: (up to something)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-26 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
She stepped inside, turning to him with her best innocent face.

“Me? I would never.”

She was so bad at trying to be innocent.
newroutines: ([pos adam] Chilling.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-27 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah you would." Even if her fake-innocent face compelled him to lean in and drop a quick kiss against her forehead. She was cute and he couldn't help it. "You'd definitely say nice things just to get me to carry you to the bedroom and do dirty things to you."
gobrookeyourself: (yay from me)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-27 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
“I’m being maligned, and distracted,” she accused.
newroutines: ([pos] Good stuff.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-27 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bullshit." It was a very eloquent counter-argument.

And he was grinning. "I think you're getting exactly what you came for."
gobrookeyourself: (flirty)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-27 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
“Is that an assumption or a promise?” Brooke asked.
newroutines: ([pos adam] Chilling.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-27 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Could be either," Mike admitted as he closed the door, only to crowd her personal space once more.

He nodded towards the box. "What'd you bring me? 'Cause, that may be a factor in whether it's either."
gobrookeyourself: (pretty girl)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-27 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
“Cake. It can wait.” Like she’d say otherwise while her personal space was being invaded in a good way.
newroutines: ([pos] Heh.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-27 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Cake? Hell yeah, it can wait." Not that he was disaparaging her cake, but... he was more of a cookie guy, anyway, but also he needed both his hands for putting them on her waist. That left him with no hands to dedicate for cake.

"Hey."
gobrookeyourself: (b davis)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-27 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
“Hold on,” she said, pulling away just enough to set the box down of the floor, hopefully a safe distance away. Then she straightened again to snake her arms around his neck. “How’s your day going?”
newroutines: ([pos adam] Chilling.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-28 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"A whole lot better now that you're here." He didn't care that it was a cheesy thing to say, because it also happened to be true. He shrugged. "Been okay. Got some work shit done earlier, and now I've just been chilling."
gobrookeyourself: (all cute and stuff)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-28 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
“With the way you’ve been talking, it sounds like the chilling part isn’t gonna last long,” Brooke said.
newroutines: ([pos] Heh.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-28 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Probably." This was as good a time as ever to pull her close, by her hips.

Well. Closer. Hips to hips because personal space was for losers. "I mean, it is my birthday, and you are looking like you're wearing way too many clothes..."
gobrookeyourself: (talky)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-29 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
“If it helps,” she said, sliding her hands down his back, “I’m not wearing anything under them.”

She was giving like that.
newroutines: ([pos] Lol okay.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-29 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Mike's eyebrows crept way up. But not, like, in a shocked way. Oh, no. In a pleased way.

Duh.

"If it helps?" he repeated. "Yeah, it helps. It helps a ton, actually. Means there's less layers between me and eating you out." Coy was... not a thing that was going to happen, between the words and his smirk. But he tilted his head like he was considering something, in a theatrical, exaggerated fashion.

"I can see one problem with it, though."
gobrookeyourself: (up to something)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-29 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”

She was maybe betting with herself on what his answer was going to be.
newroutines: ([pos adam] Chilling.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-29 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dunno if I can actually wait until the bedroom."

Had she guessed correctly?

"'Cause, y'know, it's just so far away."
gobrookeyourself: (i'm good here)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-29 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
She’d lost the bet with herself, but also kinda won here anyway.

“That is a real problem,” she said, trying to feign seriousness and completely failing. “What should we do about it?”
newroutines: ([pos] Heh.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-04-29 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Kitchen's closer," Mike said. "And I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about getting you on the table before. Just so you know."

So, he was just going to go ahead and pick her up, right about now.
gobrookeyourself: (dimple flash)

[personal profile] gobrookeyourself 2018-04-29 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
“Well,” she said, wrapping her legs around him to make that easier, “I mean, it is your day.”
newroutines: ([pos] Lol okay.)

[personal profile] newroutines 2018-05-03 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Damn right, it's my day," he said, doing his best to support him as he took the first steps towards the kitchen. (And his best was pretty good, actually.) "But I think you already know it's about to be yours, too."
