Title: slow motion tag team
Summary: Helping out with the Harvest Festival seems like such a benign activity, now that Ben looks back.
Info: Ben/Leslie, Ann/Chris. PG-13. For prozacpark, months ago. I’ve been meaning to finish this all season, and yes, the ending is a little tacked on. Sue me. (But don’t, actually. I don’t have anything to give you.)

He and Chris aren’t supposed to be helping out with the Harvest Festival set up, but Ann is, of course, and she convinces Chris with little to no pleading (there may be a smile and a — very small, thank you — kiss) and he convinces Ben (or rather, Ben tags along to make sure that Chris stays within the confines of what he’s allowed to do, in the terms of budgetary restraints). Leslie is less and less thrilled to see them, though she started out so thrilled Ben thinks she might sprain something, so her vague snarl in his direction isn’t anything he’s worried about. She’s in her element, out here in the open, directing people traffic and taking charge. It’s nice to see her like this, and not in an office telling her no in five different ways.
