the pad

an open concept unit with full floor-to-ceiling windows along two walls and excessive hardwood. there's a '70s conversation pit & tons rugs, pillows, armchairs, and couches. few personal items except brook photos. cats are around. the view outside the windows is from a maine fire lookout.

there was talk of decorations so pretend this is text about how good they look!!!

the menu

• bracken's on: pot the entrée. and hosting, allegedly, except...
• broderick's on top of everything, tbh — he took charge of a lot of the tasks bracken called "to confusin" and/or "fuckin pointless." also, drinks.

• byron's on: dessert! (including something CELEBRATORY!)

Though Briar is certain Bracken doesn't need his help at all with the steaks, it's hard not to wander up to the rooftop to 'assist' simply to have a bit of time with him. There is, of course, the added benefit of being annoying. But that's not the main purpose of this, really. So he heads up, still trying to smooth his slightly mussed hair from their earlier interaction.

"You're doing it wrong," he says idly as he arrives, unable to actually, for the moment, see around his brother enough to tell if he is doing it wrong.

"Oh!" Bracken pantomimes surprise when he looks back over his shoulder, then presents Briar with a middle finger, and then—because 'overdoing it' is always the name of the game between the two of them—blows a puff of air over its point like a smoking gun. "Oh, right, That was it. 'Fuck you.'"

Briar scoffs quietly at this sequence of events, finding nothing about them surprising in any way. It is, in fact a little heartwarming, how normal it is, and with the state of mind he's been in the past few days (sappy, honestly), it makes pulling an annoyed face extremely difficult.

"Fuck you too," is said easily as he pushes his way next to Bracken, looking over his work before joking, "If you want to go be social I can take this over."

"Ain't lettin' you serve my friends a bunch of well-done shoe leather," Bracken responds with a scoff as he pulls down the barbecue's lid and, after a moment of thought, snaps the tongs too close to Briar's nose. "Not my sister-in-law neither."

"Your friends," Briar repeats with a successful roll of the eyes, and he quickly jabs Bracken in the side as the tongs are snapped in his face. He refuses to lean back, even though the wrinkle of his nose suggests he's very close to do doing so.

He is apparently willing to let the offense of suggesting he'd ever serve any meat well-done, though, and instead focuses on the 'sister-in-law' comment. "Keda's been having fun with all the new things she can say."
