It was very safe to say that Steve was stunned by what he saw when Meru opened the door. Running back through his mind over the past few days, he remembered catching a glimpse of the back of the boy's head, glad that he wasn't the only one who was hovering miles above the rest of the school, but he hadn't realized it was Michael Meru.
"I... wow!" he said, with a big smile. Normally seeing someone with similar changes to himself might have spooked him, but with Vincent tucked up under his arm, he took it easily. Steve walked into the room, closing the door carefully beghind him, as his manners dictated.
"I guess you weren't kidding when you said I might be surprised. You look good."
Now that Steve was really paying attention of course it was Meru! He was taller, but besides that he hadn't really changed all that much.
