5th floor common room ; tuesday afternoon

[flickofthewrist]

Flick couldn't remember the last time he'd gotten himself down to the common room. He'd been a little preoccupied with things and had been sticking to either his room or spots off island. Today, he was feeling decent enough that stopping by the common room for some food and some bad television didn't seem like a bad idea. Most of his plans for what he was planning for the alumni were in the final stages though he had yet to tell anyone about them. That would probably continue to be true.

Jude's birthday was coming up soon and Flick was trying to keep himself on the straight and narrow until that day passed and he could breathe a little easier again. He missed his brother everyday and that feeling might have been pushing him to actually do what he was doing today. Now, Flick was not a cook or a baker and he could barely microwave some things correctly but today, he was giving cookies a try because he and Jude had shared them when birthdays were remembered and no one was in hiding or hurt when they were kids. Sometimes, they'd find a candle and stick it in a cookie and have a little party while hiding in their rooms or in a closet. Sad, wasn't it?

Chocolate chip had been Jude's favorite so that's what Flick was going for right now. There was a hastily scrawled recipe in his back pocket and ingredients beside him. If anyone said anything about him baking cookies, he'd probably deck them or just curse them out very loudly.

And he wouldn't share the cookies either. The one person he wanted to share with wasn't around anymore so, yeah.
