main campfire | evening | sunday | july 5

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

It had taken Alex all of ten minutes to pack and then unpack. Unpacking, in this instance, meant kicking his bag under his bed and leaving it there. Once that was done, he wandered down to the main campfire, a place he'd frequented during the previous trip to the cabins. Claiming a spot on the first night seemed like the right thing to do so he settled down, legs stretched out in front of him.

The clouds looked a little threatening but rain would only bother him if he lit a cigarette and had it go out. He'd just have to light another or something. Not like it hadn't happened before. For now, he'd take the warm, cloudy night and his last bit of relaxation before classes started again.

Unwrapping the package of Swiss Cake Rolls he'd discovered while unpacking in his alcove, Griff nearly dropped the chocolate treat when he realized it was Karev at the campfire he had wandered to.

"Seems I can't get away from you, Alex."

"I'm magnetic that way," Alex said, looking up at Griff's approach. "Dinner?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Snack, want one?" The offer to share was as automatic as breathing and as soon as he'd said it, he wondered if Karev would turn it into something else.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"What are they?" he asked, peering at the snack closer. He hadn't been one to eat Swiss Cake Rolls back home. Just never in the house. "Chocolate cake?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Some sort of chocolate cake with white stuff in the middle," Griff said, offering up the one still in the wrapper as he took a seat. "I didn't do anything to it."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think you did," Alex said and took the snack with a brief, barely perceptible nod. "You just don't seem like the guy who would try to poison me via chocolate cake."

Rose had showered after Fight Club and finally looked at her schedule of classes for the next term.

Which accounted for her mood as she came over to the campfire, bag of marshmallows as promised to Kyle in her hand.

"Some idiot signed me up for a first period class tomorrow," she bitched, sitting down near the fire.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Oh look, Alex was just going to laugh at that bitching. Never mind that he had a class early in the morning too.

"Not a morning person, Rose?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Nope, I'd go for your chocolate milk with the poison," Griff told him, actually smiling at his roommate for once.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she expected the laughing, but he still got bitchfaced for it.

"Hell no," she grumped. Something about growing up on a nocturnal schedule made getting up in the morning hard. "Definitely not on a Monday."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Ouch," Griff said, trying to sympathize. "At least it's at 9am instead of 8am."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Good thing I don't drink chocolate milk," Alex said, stuffing the Swiss Cake Roll in his mouth and chewing it. "Where you been this weekend?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"What class?" Alex asked curiously. "Something good, at least?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"You know, around," Griff shrugged, eating his chocolate and wishing he'd brought some coffee outside with him, too. "Fight club was earlier and I spent some time training on the beach yesterday."

"Etiquette," she said, drawing the word out like a curse. "So. No."

When Kyle first spotted the fire, he wanted to yell to them to put it out, but he saw other fires around the place and reminded himself that there were no H-Ks here, no drones with infra-red that would track them down. So instead of yelling, he walked over.

"Can I share your fire?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Nerd," Alex muttered but he was smiling as he did it. "Don't you know how to relax?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Something like that," Rose said, making a face. "Except it's still stupidearly."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Pretty sure I couldn't stop you if I wanted to," Alex said after a moment to size up the new arrival. "So, no, go right ahead. Free fire."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Gonna learn how to act like a lady?" he asked, snickering. "Hold your teacup with the pinky out?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I was a bit more careful this go picking things in the afternoon," Griff admitted.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"What's it look like I'm doing now?" He completely thought this campfire thing should count.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah," Rose agree, bitchfacing again. "And then I'll learn how to curtsy and faint if anyone says a word to me."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Point taken," Alex said after a moment. "Still, you waited till the last day of vacation to relax? Nerd still stands."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Lucky," she muttered. "I don't get to pick 'em. And the person that does hates me."
