Third Floor Common Room - Monday Evening

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

Jack was perfectly okay with forgetting about last week. Unfortunately, his body had other plans. When you were run down from being stuck outside in winter for a few days, there was a good chance you were going to let a cold get to you. That was the case with Jack. He'd slept. He'd eaten. He'd slept some more and now that he was sick of his room again, he moved to the couch in the common room. He had tissues and a blanket and the TV was playing a Christmas show. He wasn't that interested in it, but the remote control was all the way over there and moving wasn't really something he planned on doing for a while.

"I think the school is nicer without exploded heads all over the place," Quinn said wryly. "And I like my dad better when he's not going off about something. We're cool."

"I'm sorry we have exploding parents in common."

Quinn laughed lightly. "At least they're there and we're here? For another week or so, anyhow."

"Going home for the holidays?" he guessed.

"Kind of have to," Quinn said. "My sister and her husband are coming in, so ... yeah. What about you?"

"Probably. I've been avoiding my mom's phone calls, but I'll have to give in eventually or she'll show up here."

"And that would be worse than parents' weekend," Quinn speculated. "Because then, we got to prepare."

"Yeah, mom showing up unannounced would be a nightmare. I guess I should be a good son and save myself the trouble."

Quinn held up her crossed fingers. "Hope nobody explodes while you're home."

"Once I'm home, it's a piece of cake. I say my hellos and excuse myself to go see how my friends are doing."
