Who: Jason and Halden
What: Pizza and root beer - avoiding the alcoholic seniors
When: Friday evening
Where: The Falconer
Rating: PG (PG-13 for language?)
Status: Incomplete, semi-private



It had been a long week. Apparently all of the teachers decided to get together and each schedule an exam during the same week. That way, anyone who was taking senior-level classes would have to study each and every night for three exams, read an entire English novel, write a three-page essay in German, and prepare a major project for art class all in the same week.

Not that he didn't enjoy it. No, Jason was one of those gluttons for punishment who found himself excited by the prospect of an intellectual challenge, and the more work he had to do, the more at home he felt.

Of course, not being able to see Caleb for four days sucked. Still, they made up for it in the little time they had together.

And then there was Halden. He really did miss hanging out with his best friend. Sure, he loved being with Caleb and making out on the bed, but it was also nice to be around someone he could really open up to.

Jason sighed. At least the week was over. He had tonight to recover, and then tomorrow, he'd find Caleb and do something between his work and Caleb's work.

He pulled off his sweatshirt and tossed it on the bed, then went to go sit at his computer desk.

Halden was wandering sitting in his room trying to sleep he had 1 or 2 courses with seniors and those alone wore him out. Way to go French and Chemistry.

Though the actual seniors were riled up for the weekend and consequently drunk. Blaring rap of all things from the upperfloors. This would not have been so bad if Halden hadn't been pressured by 3 seniors in the past hour and a half to join them. Of course his answer was no about 35 times per drunk senior.

Finally giving up he texted Jason. Hey the seniors here are overly rowdy and drunk any way I can chill at your place till they all pass out?

Of course. Come on over. Jason texted back.

He turned on the old computer he had borrowed from Mr. Dixon and waited for Windows NT to load.

It wasn't the greatest, but at least he could check his email and do research on the web.

Thanks be there in a few.

Halden walked over across the campus in a few minutes it took. He tiptoed up the stairs to Jason's room. It was the scholars dorm and not all of them were as understanding as Jason.

He knocked on Jason's door.

Jason picked up a t-shirt and pulled it on as he went to the door. "Hey," he said, smiling at Halden, "How's things?"

He moved out of the way so Halden could come into his room, then moved over to take his seat again at the desk. The other chair was over closer to the bed and had Jason's pajamas slung over the back. "Sorry, um, you can just move that if you want."

He walked in, "Ugh horrid they're blaring rap and I was trying to sleep and now I can't because of this headache."

Halden walked over to his usual chair, took Jason's pj's off of it and tossed them on the bed. He sighed, "Enough of my bitching. How're you? The teachers didn't ware you down to death did they?" He turned the chair around and startled it facing Jason.

"Heh... you know me. I loved every minute of it. There was this one point on the Physics test where we had an essay-type question, and she wanted us to write out a speculation as to what our predictions would be regarding this rocket, a new type of fuel, and a launch on a clear evening. Well, I went ahead and answered for what they were looking for - it was a simple equation, and I even went so far as to predict where the debris would land - and then I went on for another three paragraphs on how unstable this new type of fuel was, and how they could get a better mix if they increased the oxygen in the traditional fuels. It's really just a matter of plotting out sequences and figuring the formula from there."

Jason went on for another minute or so, explaining how his sequences could solve these problems better than the formulas in the books before he noticed that Halden was looking at him kind of funny.

"Um, yeah, so anyway. It was alright." His mouth quirked up on one side in a half-smile. "Did you get dinner yet?"

He smiled as Jason rambled on about his equations which probably made perfect sense to someone from NASA and probably never thought of. Jason was a genius like that.

"No I haven't. I was too tired to get up, and didn't feel like snatching food from the drunks. I'm assuming you haven't either?"

"Nope. I just got back from the library. Had to return some books, and I got kind of distracted by the new science journals that had just come out."

Jason stretched back, and turned his head to the side, popping his neck vertebrae. "Want to go down to the Falconer and get some pizza or a burger or something?"

He nodded the library was one of Jason's usual places, "Sure I'm a bit hungry."

Halden wondered if this would be awkward or not. It was fairly late and they were going out to eat at the first place they met.

Halden thought about pizza or a burger and decided pizza was definitely more of the mood he was in. "Pizza sounds fine just cheese?"

"Noisy more like blaring rap from the upper floor. I had 3 drunks ask me if I wanted to join them. It was one of he worst head ache's I've ever had. Ehh I don't know I'd think that someone would get pissed about my music in the quiet dorm..."

He leaned back it was weird this felt a bit like a date to him they were across from where they met. Maybe it was just how he felt for Jason and the fact that the setting was always fairly intimate here.

"Oh, that sucks. They shouldn't be drinking, anyway. I guess the RA was prolly ignoring it 'cause they're seniors. Sometimes that's so stupid."

As soon as he said the word "seniors," Jason felt his heart sink. He was a senior, too. This year he'd graduate, and go off to a college somewhere (if he could afford it), and then what? Caleb would go off to another college, and Halden would be stuck here still.

Over the past few weeks, he'd really come to count on Halden as a friend. It was nice to have someone he could hang out with who liked him as himself.

And what was he going to do without seeing Caleb every day?

"Cheese is fine," he said finally, choking back the tremble in his voice.

Halden nodded, "I don't know probably." He rolled his eyess.

He reached out to Jason when he choked and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey you okay there? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm fine," Jason said. He forced a smile. "Just thinking about a few things."

When the waiter came by, Jason ordered a cheese pizza for the two of them and a pitcher of Coke. They'd hung out enough that he knew what Halden liked to drink, so he didn't even ask this time.

"So, are you going home for Thanksgiving next month?"

Halden glowered and kicked Jason lightly in the shin, "Whats wrong...?" he asked a bit more concerned.

He scoffed, "Back to hell? Never..." he twinged mentally when home was brought back up. Halden wasn't sure why Jason brought it up Jason knew how his parents were like.

"Me either. My parents don't want me back, anyway. Well, dad doesn't. Mom might, but it isn't like she can tell him." Jason hoped he could stay on the subject of thanksgiving and Halden would forget about the other.

"I think they're going out west, anyway. My mom's sister lives out there. They might go visit her."

Jason shrugged. "I think there are a bunch of us who will be staying here. Mr. Dixon said that last year, they had a big party and stuff."

Halden glowered as Jason pushed the topic of thanksgiving break, and eventually gave up on trying to figure out whats bothering Jason, "My parents don't want me back period my mom just wants my forgiveness but she could live with out seeing me again."

"A party would be cool. At least we won't be so rejected," he shrugged indifferently the topic making him a bit more on guard.

He didn't really want to dwell on how much their families sucked. The good thing was that they were here among real people who really cared about them.

"Hey, let's talk about something different. Like how awesome things will be when we're here for Christmas break. We've totally gotta have a Christmas and New Years party! One that lasts from Christmas to New Year's day and we can,um, play games and stuff!"

He smirked imagining Jason in the tiny leather breifs and a cape from 300. This distracted Halden from a part of the conversation. When Jason stopped speaking Halden came reeling back into the real world.

"Oh yea... cool ideas."

"You could dress up as someone, too. Hmmm. You'd make a good Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. Or you could be Spike from buffy the vampire slayer. That'd be pretty hot."

Jason smile and picked at the crust of his pizza as he listed off a bunch of ideas for Halden.

Part of him was so relaxed and so glad he had a friend like this he could just chat with all night. Sure, he had some projects he could be working on, but this was what school was supposed to be about - hanging with friends on the weekend.

He shrugged "Ehh I don't know Draco's pretty hot..." Halden couldn't imagine himself as Draco and shrugged the thought off.

Halden took a bite of his pizza as he was reaching the end of his slice. He wasn't exactly sure but to him this place was a bit more intimate than just two friends for pizza and soda. Then again Halden really liked Jason.

Jason wasn't going to press Halden any further. If the guy didn't like Halloween, he didn't like Halloween. People were entitled to their opinions.

"So, how's your Chemsitry class coming along? It seems to be the time for assigning projects. Personally, I have projects in three of my classes - English, History, and German. They're kind of fun, but time-consuming."

He gobbled up the rest of his piece of pizza and reached for another one. "Man, I guess I was hungrier than I thought. Sorry to be rude."

[info]aldendetradia

He sighed, "No projects for myself yet I'll probably get them soon though."

Halden thought about how the night had been going, "No problem Jason."

Halden thought about how he must've seemed to Jason quiet a bit abrasive not his normal self, "Hey Jason... I'm sorry for how I've been tonight."

After setting his pizza aside and pouring out more root beer for both of them, Jason shook his head. "Don't worry 'bout it. I'm sure it didn't help to have all the parties in your dorm. And sometimes people just get like that."

He shrugged and watched as an argument at another table started heating up a bit. "I'm glad you don't drink. I'd rather deal with you kind of moody and upset all night than to think of you having to deal with a bunch of drunken idiots 'cause you didn't feel comfortable around me."

He sighed Jason didn't get it, "No I mean bad mood or not I've been a jack ass tonight and its not the drunks upstairs."

Actually, Jason hadn't been aware that Halden was being a jackass. "Hey, it's no big deal," he said, putting his hand on Halden's shoulder. I told you before. I like you the way you are. Sometimes you get like this, but that doesn't make me stop liking you, y'know?"

The fight was starting to escalate and it was making Jason just a little nervous. He picked up his piece of pizza and took a couple of large bites, then washed it down with root beer. "Look, if you start getting out of line, I'll tell you, deal?"
