WHO zachary and Raleigh
WHERE raleighs room
WHAT best friends hanging out
WHEN night time

--

Zachary rubbed the side of his face as he left his room, his bag slung over his shoulder as he walked down to the common room and out, heading towards where he had been told the Head Boy room was. He ran a hand through his still damp hair, pushing it of off his forehead as he began to climb the stairs that led towards the room and raised a hand knocking on the door. “It’s me open up,” he said before stepping back. He was interested to see what his friend had gotten up to over the weekend in order to need such a visit. He doubted it was anything but his usual antics, but it would still be interesting to see what had happened.

It wasn't so much that Zach cared about the other man sleeping around, it was just that he didn't like to hear about them. It always felt like it was being rubbed in, like Raleigh was deliberly doing it even though that was completely and utterly innane. There was no way Raleigh knew anything about his crush, and if he did the other man probably would do what he did. "Of course you do," he said nodding his head as he hid his emotions behind a roll of his eyes before relaxing back against the side of the tub, ducking udner for a moment before smoothing his hair back of off his face.

He listened intently as Raleigh spoke, a part of him wanting to say 'date me' or something along those lines because as far as he was aware he could be all those things and more for Raleigh. "Well then don't sleep around so much and try to get to know someone first," he pointed out. "Go on dates, like the rest of us mere mortals," he said before leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest, chewing on his bottom lip as he did so. He shook his head as he moved over to Raleigh's side of the tub. "You know if you just wanted to date me, all you had to do was ask," he said with a wink, playing like he was joking as he began to get out of the tub, not sure he could handle being in it much longer.

He grabbed a towel and began to dry off quickly before pulling on his shorts sans boxers before moving to sit down by the edge where Raleigh was sitting. He leaned against his knees and watched his friend for a moment. "So why do you sleep around? You've never given me a straight answer."

Raleigh has brought a hand out of the water, and rubbed his palm over his eyes. The water dripped back down over his face and back into the tub as he thought about the topic omore than he really wouldv'e liked to. He groaned and let his hand drop steadily down his face, until he was holding his chin in his palm and tapping a finger over his lip. He let out a long breath of air. "It's different for you than it is for me," was Raleigh's answer. It didn't make a lot of sense when it came out but it did to him. Part of his reasoning was simply because of habit. Although he didn't want to admit that he had succumbed to doing what people expected from him. And of course, he enjoyed himself---even if it was instant empty gratification.

Watching Zach slide closer, Raleigh knew some ridiculous remark was sure to follow. And he was right. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Here I am having a serious conversation and you're mocking me," Raleigh sighed, dropping his hand back into the water to cross over his mid section with the other arm. He lifted his elbow out of the water enough to make a splash toward Zach as it came back down.

"You're getting out?" Raleigh asked, not ready quite yet to follow behind. He wondered for a moment if it was something he said, but decided that must not be it. Zach wouldv'e just ignored him rather than grow offended enough to get up and leave. Besides, he got dressed and came back to sit at the edge beside Raleigh.

Without making eye contact, Raleigh stared off to the wall again and though about the next posed question. "There isn't one," Raleigh said matter of factly. "I just do. It just happens that way," he shrugged. "I think it's a sort of 'two out of three ain't bad' deal," Raleigh figured, shrugging again. That was probably called settling. And was he happy doing that? Oh great, more to think about. He'd have to thank Zacy later for giving him this headache of self evaluation to think about.
