[ yawns and stretches as he sits on the edge of the bed, his back to the female who is slowly starting to get dressed. flops backwards to peer up at her, giving some snide remark before she pops him on the nose with a hand in retribution. forgoes the shirt he was reaching for, instead rolling off the mattress to playfully plead with her to stay for a few more hours, though the joke is already lost once she steps into the bathroom to fix her hair.

grins a bit at that but dutifully moves out of her way, making a beeline back to his bedroom. lazily scratches at his already-frizzy hair as he leans against the doorway, not paying much attention to anything in particular. eventually his expression grows dimmer, eyes going up to the ceiling before they narrow slightly. finds himself unable to throw away the feeling of uneasiness that nestles into the pit of his stomach, almost as if something terrible had happened without him knowing. ]

[ eyes him critically. then covers the upper half of his face with a hand. ]

. . . Can't remember the response to this.

[ shakes his head, getting up from his perch to take his plate to the kitchen. ]

It'll come to you.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ lowers the hand when he feels tony move, reaching for the water bottle for a sip. ]

Probably. Maybe during an exam.

[sexymajor.livejournal.com]

Now that wouldn't be good. [ takes a moment to voice another thought as he washes out the dish. hesitates on putting it on the counter, remembering that anthony took the time to clean it. puts it away in the cabinet instead. ] Doing anything for our next break?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ gnaws thoughtfully on the rim of the water bottle. ]

Not really. You?

[ frowns slightly at the sink in thought, briefly thinking about the things he doesn't want to think about. ]

[sexymajor.livejournal.com]

[ turns when he's had his moment, leaning on the counter with a smile. ]

Nope! Think this calls for manly bonding time.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ snorts tiredly as he closes his eyes. ]

6 AM again?

[ smirks a bit at that. ]

Naw.

[sexymajor.livejournal.com]

[ pauses and stares at anthony, drumming his fingers against the counter in thought... ]

[sexymajor.livejournal.com]

How 'bout we take a trip? Nothing fancy, but I think you can spare a weekend, right?

[bawkmajor.livejournal.com]

[ twitches a little. ]

A trip?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ opens his eyes to gaze blankly at the wall for a bit, even as he continues to speak for tony's benefit. ]

. . . Sure. Weekend's good. Someplace affordable, but life-changing.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shakes himself out of it. ]

Like Narnia. Or Neverland.

[sexymajor.livejournal.com]

[ frowns a bit, noticing the brief look. doesn't question it, however, deciding to pick up the pace instead. ]

Sure. I'll just go get my magic wardrobe I left at home.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ lifts his head to finally meet his gaze again. ]

Or you could visit France.

[ lips fall into a split-second frown. wanders back to the refrigerator, bending down slightly to both hide his expression and grab himself a bottle of water. ]

I could.

[sexymajor.livejournal.com]

[ & then stands up straight again, snapping the cap off to take a long drink. turns to anthony, almost thinking about saying more than he usually allows... then pushes it away again, giving a small smile. ]

But I'd take you with me, y'know.

[ blinks at that fall in expression, feeling a strange pang of guilt. but pushes that aside to return that smile faintly. ]

Maybe after graduation.

[bawkmajor.livejournal.com]

[ exhales quietly & tightens his grip on the water bottle, though his voice is a tad hopeful. ]

All three of us. Maybe.

[cawmajor.livejournal.com]

[ opens mouth, thinking he has something to say to that, but closes it slowly when he realizes that he doesn't. nudges the fridge closed, taking a few steps forward to lean on the wall in thought. ]

... this is only temporary, Anthony. It's Alyssa, she won't stay this way forever.

Course not. I know that. Betting on that.

[ cranes his head upward toward the ceiling. ] I'm unbalanced. I want to protect her, but I've. . . maybe I. . .

[bawkmajor.livejournal.com]

I need her. [ manages to stomp on the knee-jerk addition of even if it's not the way she wants me to on time. speaks his next words quietly as he admits something to tony -- to himself. ] So we'll fix it. I'll change, and we'll adapt.

[ twitches a bit in slight annoyance but pushes it down, realizing that it's not as important as this. doesn't speak for the time being, too busy surveying the (broken) boy on his couch to do much of anything. when he does speak he tries to keep his voice even, pushing away the critical sound he typically makes. ]

... do you think changing yourself will solve this? That just adapting will make everything go away? You need her, but it sounds to me like you're just avoiding her altogether. Don't you think--

[cawmajor.livejournal.com]

[ stops and shakes his head a bit, running a hand through his hair. ]

No, it's not really any of my business. Sorry. I-- yeah, sorry. I don't know everything. Won't butt into your personal life or whatever.
