Second Floor Common Room - Early Saturday Afternoon

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

Harvey had a problem. He was hungry. You think that problem would be easy enough to solve by making food but he couldn't decide what he wanted. It was still early enough for breakfast and yet it could be considered lunch time too. He wanted eggs but he could also go for a sandwich. You would think he could just pick something and get on with it but for some reason he couldn't. He always sucked at making stupid little decisions like that.

So now he had a grilled cheese and scrambled eggs going on the stove at the same time. He figured he was hungry enough to eat both and if he wasn't, well, he figured someone else would want some. He sat himself up on the kitchen counter next to the stove, rolling his father's coin across his knuckles and waited for his food to finish cooking.

"Harvey Dent," he said, giving Dick a nod. "Nice to meet you."

"Same here. I actually know somebody with that same name," Dick said. But he looked nothing at all like this guy, so Dick just shrugged it off.

"Really? That's weird. You don't really see too many Harvey's out there," he said. "He doesn't suck, does he? I'd hate to see the Harvey Dent name being used by someone who sucks."

"No, he's a really good guy. One of the few lawyers people don't make jokes about," Dick said. "He's my guardian's best friend, actually."

"That's a relief. I'm cool with him sharing my name," he said, smiling. It was an odd coincidence, considering that Harvey had aspirations to be a lawyer himself. He saw it as a good sign.

"Not much you could do about it, of course. He had it first," Dick said.

"Good point," he admitted, taking yet another sandwich for himself. "And even if I could, I wouldn't since the guy is a lawyer. My parents would kill me if I got sued."

"That wouldn't look good, would it?" Dick asked. "You're here for a week and you get sued. The school would have to hope that didn't make the papers."

"It would certainly ruin my chances of running for student council," he said, grinning.

"You're running?" Dick asked. "What year are you? Because if you're a junior, you're going to have some stiff competition."

[yourwhiteknight.livejournal.com]

"I'm a senior, actually. You don't have to worry about having me for competition," Harvey assured him.

"Good," Dick said. "That means I have less stiff competition."
