Ever since finals had ended, Aidan had been celebrating by catching up on all the sleep he'd missed while cramming and finishing his projects. His grades would be mailed to him later, and stressing over how he'd done wasn't going to do him any good. And he enjoyed just spending time with his friends, too.
He shuffled into the living room after finishing up an email to his mom, flopping down on the couch next to Florian and resting his head on his shoulder. "Remind me why I thought continuing my education was a good idea," he said, only half joking.

There were times when Florian was brimming with inspiration and he hardly slept or ate while he worked on his larger-than-life installations or his paintings. And then there were times, like now, when he felt too burned out to do much at all. They never lasted long, and he usually took the opportunity to rest up, much in the same vein as Aiden had been doing.
"Can't answer that, mate!" Florian said, chuckling. "It can't all be bad..." (Reply to this)(Thread)

"Oh well, at least it's over for the next three-ish months. Gods know I could use the break." He yawned and stretched a bit, arching his whole body and almost sliding to the floor in the process.
"So, been doing anything fun recently?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

The thing that allows him to save people is also killing him. I love that. Been thinking about building a life-size Iron Man replica, but I bet there would be some kind of ridiculous plagiarism suit if I did."
Florian took a deep breath and he grinned at Aiden. "You're going to roll right off the sofa, come here," and Florian sort of pulled Aiden closer to him. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

And yeah, there probably would be, but maybe if you changed things juuuust enough, you could claim it was something totally different."
He let himself be pulled up and grinned. "Gonna save me from smacking my head on the floor?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

sat_by_the_fire 2012-05-18 12:22 am (local) (link) Select Florian reached out to ruffle Aiden's hair and he smiled. "Yes, no amnesia. Though I could wear a little nurse's outfit and that would be amusing." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2012-05-18 12:45 am (local) (link) Select Aidan laughed softly. "Mmm, yeah, that would be pretty amusing. And it would not surprise me at all if you had a nurse's outfit stashed somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

"Hmm," he said, tilting his head as he thought. "Most likely...sleep, drink, sleep some more, finish these sketches I started three months ago, do all of my laundry, and just to make this list not boring, hopefully get laid. Oh, the life I lead." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
sat_by_the_fire 2012-05-18 01:14 am (local) (link) Select "I can't imagine getting laid is too difficult in this house where you have three willing partners," Florian said with a laugh. He of course only had two because he wasn't going to sleep with his sister, but that was just fine with him.
