(OTA! Happy holidays! If you know Fin, Willy, Phouka, or Winter, feel free to assume they gave you an invite. If not, you can say your pup got an invite through a friend of a friend, someone who knows someone, ect. It IS invite over (no gate crashing pups please, Fin's a giver and would want everyone to feel included), but the pups hosting the party are pretty active and I believe they know almost everyone in the game. And the people they don't know surely know people who do. Even if you only met them once, you got an invite somehow! This gathering post is open all week, and beyond!)

Anael was leaning back against a pillar in the room when Coby walked by him, and he smiled, and stepped forward to catch his hand. "I should've known I'd find you here."

[sunsongs]

Coby's eyes lit up at Anael's voice, and he gave his hand a squeeze before tangling their fingers together. "Does that mean you didn't see the invite I left in my window, in case you dropped by?"

[whispersoflove]

"I was going to stop by later, but I ran into Julie, and... she tends to talk me into accompanying her to a different party each time we meet," Anael stated fondly, coming to stand closer to Coby, to nod in the direction where she was, beautiful in a dark blue dress and animatedly chatting with a small circle of guests. "There she is." He turned his head to face Coby again, smiling softly. "When the party turned out to be Fin's, I knew God meant for me to be here. And you, apparently."

[sunsongs]

Coby followed Anael's gaze to the woman who'd brought him. "Why am I not surprised she's beautiful?" he asked, turning back to Anael and tugging lightly on the sweater. "I suppose we have her to thank for this as well as your presence here?"

[whispersoflove]

Anael looked down at the cardigan and laughed. "Absolutely." He grinned back up at Coby. "It made her laugh."

[sunsongs]

How could Coby not grin back when Anael was happy? "That's the point of, uh, festive sweaters. Or I hope it is anyway." Unironic ugly Christmas sweaters were just sad, if you asked him. "What are you going to do if you win the tv?"

[whispersoflove]

"Give it away, I suppose, Julie would know," Anael answered, not truly believing that he might win it. He stepped closer to Coby, stroked fingers over the bottom words. "Surfing wells?"

[sunsongs]

"Wells Beach," Coby explained. "It's in Maine, I think, so no palm trees around. A friend sent it to me. We went once, while touring together. Middle of summer and I swear the water was colder than my usual spots back home at Christmas."

[whispersoflove]

Anael chuckled at the explanation, and left his fingertips on Coby's stomach, for no other reason than he had no reason to pull his hand back, really. "You're spoiled." It didn't sound, at all, like a judgement.

[sunsongs]

"Yep." Coby didn't sound all that bothered by the idea. "I like feeling good. There are all kinds of ways to do that."

[whispersoflove]

Anael smiled, and then chuckled. "I like your ways."

[sunsongs]

"You are more than a few of my ways." Coby laughed, but it hadn't been long since Anael had brought him back to himself, so there was a deeper truth beyond all the ways they could and did make each other feel good.

[whispersoflove]

Anael smiled, and leaned in to give him a tender, brief kiss, hand sliding to his waist. "How are you?" he asked, eyes bright, hoping that there had been no more episodes.

[sunsongs]

Putting an arm around Anael in turn, Coby smiled. "I'm okay, lovely." And he was, as best he could tell. "I had some making up to do for missing a gig, and not being able to really explain why, but things have been... quiet." Quiet was good.

[whispersoflove]

"Good," Anael stated with a grateful smile. "I'd hoped, since I didn't feel you pray."

[sunsongs]

"Enough thinking about the past for now," Coby said lightly, not in the mood to dwell the way he might another time. "It's a party. Fun and music and light, all that kind of thing."

He knew better than to try getting Anael to dance, but that wasn't all there was to the evening. "Will your Julie mind too much if I try to steal you away at the end of the night?"

[whispersoflove]

Anael smiled, then grinned. "I think she'd chide me if I didn't let you." He might have told her about Coby. Honestly, he told anyone who asked about Coby.

[sunsongs]

"I'm spoiled," Coby said, not hiding how happy he was Anael wanted to come home with him. "But since I can't let her chide you, I'll just have to steal you away."

[whispersoflove]

"What a chore," Anael agreed, stepping closer for another kiss. What could he say? Coby was here. Of course he ought to be kissing him.

[sunsongs]

"Careful," Coby warned, nipping at Anael's mouth. "We start kissing again, and I'm going to steal you away before the party really gets going." Not that it stopped him from another chaste for them kiss.

[whispersoflove]

"Unless I do the stealing first," Anael replied at the end of that new kiss, and he forced himself to step back. "Right, yes," he smiled at Coby. "Let's mingle? I'll introduce you to Julie."
