WHO: Peter Petrelli and Chris Halliwell.
WHAT: They're in a relationship and they live together. This means they occasionally hang out.
WHEN: Now-ish.
WHERE: Their apartment.
RATING: TBD.
STATUS: Incomplete.

The craziness seemed to have stopped for the moment, which was good because Peter had exams this week and he really didn't want to have to deal with explaining to his professors that he hadn't had time to study because of pirates. And dinosaurs. And he really missed the days when the reason he missed a shift at work was just that he'd been kidnapped by the government or had to go fight a serial killer...not that he wasn't thrilled that Gabriel was past that...or had yet another crazy family crisis to deal with. It probably said a lot that those were his version of normal problems. But even with the fact that Colligo made his problems at home seem almost simple, he didn't want to leave. Things here were easier in a lot of ways, and he was happy for the first time in a long time.

It had something to do with the way his family had seemed to lose a lot of the drama here, as well as gaining new honorary members, a lot to do with the man who was reading a book on the sofa, and a little to do with the coelurosauravus gliding around the room. Max, as he had taken to calling the reptile, had found his way in during the dinosaur situation and had stuck around. He found himself growing fond of it, and it wasn't like they could take him to the shelter. Peter had never had a pet, so he definitely wasn't going to complain, and he was sure he'd seen Chris being nice to it when he thought he wasn't looking. He was lying on the floor, flipping through one of his books and once again thanking his eidetic memory for the fact that he would probably pass his exams. He would have been failing without it.

Every so often, he'd glance up at Max or over at Chris. Finally he set his book to the side and sat up. "Are you ready for your exams?" he asked curiously.

Chris made a slight face at Peter, "Funny." Though that didn't make the words any less true. Chris could be a jerk in general. A mean one. He was a good guy but sarcastic tended to be his default mode. Being stressed tended to make him an even bigger one than usual. However, despite the 'not amused' look he had just shot Peter, a small smile quirked his lips. He really wouldn't at all object to any distractions Peter through his way. Was he thinking about sex? Mostly. Could you blame him? He was a young man in his twenties and his boyfriend was highly attractive. Nonetheless, that was the only thing. He wouldn't mind some quiet time with Peter outside the one that came from post sex snuggles. Still. Chris could be ridiculously single-minded. "We'll see how that works out." Was all he said. He knew better than to protest that Peter wouldn't be able to distract him, by now, because he knew that the other male could be damn determined in his own right.

"Peter. Stop." Chris said. He loved his boyfriend and heaven helped him since this was one of things he did love about Peter, but the other man could feel guilty about the weirdest things. "I know that if you could turn it off, you would. But you can't." Slight shrug. "So stop worrying about it." And he meant it. Did it mean that it wasn't irritating and that that ability, among some others, didn't frustrate the hell out of Chris? No. It didn't. However, he got over it. If he felt that said abilities would have been too much of a problem to deal with, he wouldn't be with Peter at the moment. He knew that Peter was a good and honest man.
