2nd floor hallway, lunch period

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

After talking to Kawalsky which will either be handwaved or played out later, Cameron has found a place to sleep. In the hopes that Vala won't be around, Cameron decides to move his stuff from 226 to 223 during lunch hour. At least he doesn't have far to go. Not that it makes things easier. This has been his room ever since he came to Fandom and it feels like he's giving up a home. He promised Vala, though, that if they ever had a fight, he'd be the one to sleep in the hall in a tent. They're beyond tents now.

The doors to both 226 and 223 are open as Cameron moves his stuff from one room to the other. He really should change clothes and grab a shower, but he wants to finish this first.

Molly had looked for Cam after finishing her math test, but kept missing him. She finally found him as he moved between rooms.

"Hey, Cam? What's going on?" She asked with concern. "Did you even take the math test?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron shook his head and dumped a bunch of clothes on the bed in 223. "No, he's letting me take another one on Friday."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's good," she said. "But, why didn't you take it this morning? Are you sick?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"No, I couldn't concentrate." Cameron replied and moved out of the room and back to 226.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly followed him. "Why not? Did something happen? Was there another vampire thing last night? Is that why you look like you haven't slept? Is Vala okay?" She asks the questions quickly not really giving him time to answer until she stops talking.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He laughed humourless at the last question. If she was feeling only remotely as he was... He shook his head and grabbed a garbage bag and started to stuff his notebooks inside. "We broke up."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"What?" Molly said in surprise. "Why? Didn't you have your big date last night? Did something go wrong?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I guess breaking up is what you'd call something going wrong, yeah." Cameron snapped and sighed, instantly regretting it. He closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. "It's just... some things came up that drove it home just how much this wasn't going anywhere so we called it quits."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Cam. I'm so sorry." Molly had no clue what caused them to come to decide their relationship wasn't going anywhere, but she thought that now might not be the time to talk about it with him.

She looked around at the disarray that was the room currently. "So, you're moving out. Do you want help?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I don't think it's smart to stay roommates," Cameron sighed. "Yeah, that'd be nice. I want to do this before she gets back."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Just tell me what you want moved," Molly said. And then she stepped up to Cam and hugged him.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Which caught him by surprise, but he's grateful for it and wraps his arms around Molly and kinda forgot about that whole letting go again part.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly was content to let him hug her as long as he needed to. She didn't know how to help him fix things with Vala, or if it even could be fixed, but she could let him hug her.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

It took a moment before he finally let go and pretended to straighten her hat. "Thanks," he said softly.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly stepped back from the hug and grinned up at him. "Anytime. That's what friends are for." She looked around the room again. "Now, what are we moving?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Anything that doesn't look female," he handed her the bag he had just filled with books and notes. "Think you co-" he snorted as he remembered just how strong she was. "Hang on, I'll put some more stuff in here."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly chuckled. "Load me up."

After talking to Aeryn, Parker notices that other moving is going on, and remembers what she heard on the radio. "Mitchell?" She cocks her head from room 226 to 223. "Can I ask?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what," Cameron says as he hauls another box into 223.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Did the radio get it right? You and Vala broke up?" She studies him carefully, ready to back off the second he looks like he'll blow.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

It should surprise him that the radio knew. Probably that damn Crow robot. He dumps the box carelessly on the ground. "Yeah, we broke up."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Damn, I'm sorry." Parker rubbed her forehead and sighed. "If you were a girl, I'd give you chocolate and offer to listen. I'm guessing you don't want that. Anything I *can* do? Help you move?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Molly's already helped out with the heavy stuff," Cameron toed the box and doesn't mentioned that was a good thing as his shoulder wasn't too happy with him. "There's just some personal stuff left, but thanks."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sure. I'll just grab this, then." She picked it up. "Point me in the right direction."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

He shook his head, smiling just a big. "You really only hear what you want to, don't you?" He picked up another small box.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yup." Parker grins. "Humor me. I suck at comfort. I'm not bad at moving things."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Do you know how to pick locks?" Cameron asks as he leads the way back to 223.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"What kind? I was helping Professor MacGyver break into the basement lab a few days ago. And I can attempt the credit-card trick. Just not with *my* credit cards."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Just your average dorm room door," Cameron replies.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sadly enough, no. I think Carter knows how, though. Although I'll kick it in if you let me get my boots. Whose door?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Kara," Cameron replied and put the box down on his new bed. "Anders figures she's got a statch of ambrosia."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's smile is fiendish. "Won't need to, if we can find Jack. He'll just let me in. Ambrosia? Is that the stuff Adama is always talking up?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron shook his head. "I'm not asking Harkness. Yes."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Ahh. We could try, I guess?" Parker's not really sure how sturdy the door locks are, and of course, there's the getting-caught factor. "Although you *actually* might be better at it than I am. One of the few times when it's pure strength that rules is against inanimate objects."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'd prefer not to actually break the door, though." Cameron winces. "I guess normal booze would do as well."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I have some of that!" Parker's willing to get her fellow students drunk in furthering the need not to talk about depressing relationship stuff. "Stop by later this evening, I'll let you have some scotch."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Scotch, huh? Never tried it before." Cameron nods. "Can I ask you a favour?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Sure. I can't guarantee the answer. But you can ask." Parker looks questioningly at him.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Could you check up on Vala? Make sure she's alright?" He asks softly. "I said some stupid stuff to her yesterday that was way out of line and I don't... I just want to know that she's alright and that she has someone to talk to who isn't Harkness. I don't think it's a good idea right now for me to see her so..."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Uh, sure." Parker grimaces. "Although, she was still pretty mad at me the last time we talked. But I've realized I owe her an apology anyway. So. Sure. I'll check on her tonight? After my Aikido class." She bumped her shoulder against his. "You going to be okay? Any guy-type to talk to?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," he smiles a tiny bit and bumped back. "I'm rooming with Kawalsky now. Think that's guy enough?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hell yes. Tell him I said 'hiiii', would you?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Sure, but I'll sound more manly about it." He smirked.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Of course you will." Parker grinned. "Works. Later, Cam-boy."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Later, Parkie." Cameron sighed. Just two more things to grab and he was done.

Finishing up, room 226

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

As Parker and Molly are gone, Cameron returns to 226. It looks strange seeing the room bare like this without his posters or his things lying around. Just his paper with moving doodles, his pillows and Winona are left now. Moving them seems to somehow be the hardest.

He sits down on the edge of the bed and picks up Shamu. "You'll take care of her, right?" He asks the fuzzy orca and brings him level to his face. "Don't ever let her wake up alone and be huggable when she needs it." He waits for a final agreement from the whale and then kisses the whale's nose before putting him back down on his best pillow, the one he'll be leaving behind for Vala. He reaches into his pocket and fishes out his room key and a note he wrote down earlier.

Vala,

I moved everything out while you were gone so you wouldn't have to deal with this. I am sorry that I hurt you. I said some things that I shouldn't have and I hope you know that I didn't mean them. You are special and you always will be to me. I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always be there for you if you need me.

Love always, YoYo.

With one more look at the room, Cameron moves to the door. He eyes Eugene the Camel and sighs, "You look out for her too, buddy." He says softly and closes the door behind him.
