“If you’re sure…” Colin said softly, still looking at the paper in his hand before looking up at Jack. He couldn’t help but smile as the boy settled onto the bed next to him. As much as he loved the dorms, one of the bad parts about living in the tower was that it got a little chilly sometimes, and for that he was more than happy to curl near his boyfriend. Not sure what to do with the bird now that it was crumpled, so he simply discarded it on the floor next to the bed with the vow to pick it up later.
“Mum sent fudge and cookies today. There is a tin for you too, it’s in my trunk.” He grinned. He was pretty happy with how his mum was taking the fact that he and Dennis hadn’t come home. At first, she was upset, and reasonably so he figured. But she’d come around, realizing that it must have at least been important, and had gone out of her way to make their additional time away from home as enjoyable as possible.
