Third floor common room, Sunday after 11:00am

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter came in with an electric blanket, a heating pad, a teapot, tea, and schoolbooks stacked in his arms. Pup trotted closely at his heels while he set up the blanket on the couch, plugged in the heating pad for the clingy hellpuppy, and put on hot water for tea.

It was a good day to get some studying done, watch mindless TV, drink hot tea, and generally be happy to not have been killed by animated snow the day before.

"Come here," Victor asked, lifting the blanket and motioning for Walter to sit between his legs.

Walter pulled the blanket up and tried to find a way to lean against Victor that wouldn't jar his shoulder. "How are you feeling?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Even better now that you're here," he replied, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's waist as they got the blanket situated. Walter was cold, and Victor's shoulder was hurting a little from the snuggle, but it was worth it. He kissed Walter's cheek and asked, "So, did you have fun?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Dancing on the bodies of my vanquished foes? Can there be things to do in the snow that are more fun?" He kicked his shoes off and drew his feet up. "What about you? Pip didn't bore you too badly did he?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Nah, he never does. You may want to protect your man, though. That's the third time he's hit on me since I've been here."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You can't fault him for good taste even if he doesn't care about his personal safety."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"True," Victor agreed. "So, what homework do we have today?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I always have homework for Sociology. I don't think we have anything for Dream's class. I should do some studying for Math, too."

He pulled a face. "Oh, and the homework that Alfred gave me."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Ugh," Victor groaned, making a face as well. "Well, how about we get the easy stuff done first, then work on Alfred's list?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I think that sounds like a good idea. What about your classes? You have to study, too."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Actually, I don't have any homework this week. I guess I must've lucked out." He shrugged with his good shoulder. "More time to help you, I guess. That is, if you don't mind."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Why would I mind?" Walter raised an eyebrow at Victor and turned back to pull his Sociology book out of his back and start reading.

He didn't really care about his homework, but the company was good.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Just being considerate," Victor replied, and started reading over his boyfriend's shoulder.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yes. You are." Walter read until he was sure he was going to throw the book out the window and then did throw it on the floor. "I guess today's quiet to make up for yesterday."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Quiet's not always a bad thing," Victor replied, kissing Walter on the cheek. "It's nice to spend a day wihtout having to worry about anything. It's weird, yeah, but look at it this way: we can worry about stuff tomorrow.

So, do you need a break?" he asked, massaging his boyfriend's arms.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. There's only so long I want to stare at a book without a break." Walter fished a piece of gum out of his bag and offered one to Victor. "How are you feeling?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay. The pain's pretty dull, but you're here, so it all evens out." He took the gum and frowned. "What, you trying to say my breath stinks?" he teased.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"No. And you're just hoping I'll use the excuse to check." Walter grinned and twisted around to give Victor a quick kiss before popping the piece of gum in his mouth. He wanted a cigarette. The gum would have to do.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor smiled and ate the gum, giving Walter a hug as he chewed. "Well, what do you wanna do, then? I'm pretty immobile, and even if I weren't you'd probably tie me to the couch or something. which does NOT give Victor an idea for next Friday We could always watch TV."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"TV. After Grissom's class I've decided to call watching TV sociological research. It sounds better."

Walter threw out a wire to snag the TV remote off the television and flipped it on while his mun desperately wished for that list of IG TV programs, beginning to surf and groaning every time he came across Bitterwoman.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Not a Bitterwoman fan?" Victor asked as Walter surfed. The History Channel flipped by, and Victor got an idea. "Hey...what's your favorite food, anyway? I know you like British food, obviously, but what's your favorite?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It's quite simple, actually, there's a stew called Cock and Bull stew and it's my favorite."

He flipped through the channels and ended up on Mr. What. People had proper accents.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor had to bite his lip to keep from laughing. He had promised to not make fun of British food for a week. Or was that week over? He couldn't remember.

"Um...so what's it...made out of?" he asked, still trying to keep a straight face.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Chicken, chunks of beef, tomatoes, potatoes, spices. It's just a good hearty stew." Walter was watching the television with something approximating a straight face.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Wow," Victor replied, genuinely shocked. "That actually sounds really good. I'd love to try it sometime."

He absently rubbed his thumb along Walter's belly and leaned forward to kiss the other boy on the head.

"Maybe I'll make someing for you, too, one of these days. Anything 'American' you've been wanting to try?"
