Thread: Farewell Dinner
WHO: Gilderoi, John, and Van
WHEN: Friday, Dec. 14
WHERE: After leaving Montrose, the trio head back to the school.
WARNINGS: Probably
Van was going to miss having John around. He had a bite to him that Van could relate to and the two had been friends-but-not friends since first meeting. They respected each other and kept healthy boundaries, but still showed enough care and concern to do things like stage an intervention for John's drug use and help him through withdrawals. While John got annoyed at Van for all the bruises he came to him with after fighting other students or townies, the healer had finally given up refusing care when Van showed up with a black eye and a bleeding lip.
Shoulder to shoulder, the three boys walked down the road back towards the Academy. Their farewell dinner for John had gone well and Van was stuffed. Montrose was a bit too fancy for Van, especially when there was a required dresscode, but he'd worn a suit for the night and by now it was mostly undone - the tie hanging around his neck like a silk scarf next to the silver necklace that was his bridle and his headphones, his jacket unbuttoned. Van wasn't bothered so much by the cold. His Kelpie blood ran hot and he crunched through the icy snowy road with no additional layers for warmth.
"I can't believe you're getting out of here at the end of the month. So what's it going to be, John? Back to the reservation or are you taking Mickey and them up on their offer that you come live with them at Harvard?" Van flexed his warm hand around Gil's, his fingers interlocked with his boyfriend's.
