Santo (backdated to Saturday early AM in their room)
Kevin was lying there in the first faint light of a wintery dawn, eyes still shut and grinning like an idiot as he tried to process the fact that he wasn't just back in the same time zone with Josh, he was in the same damn building. And, oh yeah, they'd spent the entire afternoon and evening and part of the night together yesterday and they'd probably be able to spend pretty much the whole damned day together today.

As soon as he managed to not be an asshole to his roommate. Who he'd definitely been a total asshole to yesterday. Which was kind of not okay, and he definitely felt bad for, given he'd pretty much run in, dropped his stuff on what he'd assumed was his bed, said 'hi' and 'bye' almost in one breath and bolted back out the door to find Josh. He'd talked with the guy a little bit - and rock dude, how seriously cool was that? - when he'd come back in, significantly after curfew and lucky not to have been caught, but he'd been giddy and wiped and had crashed pretty quick. So now it was probably well past time to try to convince the guy he wasn't a complete douche.

Really.

As soon as he stopped lying there grinning like a loon. Yep. He totally had this whole not being an asshole thing covered. He kicked off his sheets and rolled out of bed, tugging his gloves and sleeves back into place out of habit as he did so.

"So. Hey." He smiled a bit sheepishly and waved at the guy. "I promise I'm not usually a total douche?"

"It's cool you're close enough to go for weekends, at least," Kevin offered. At least he assumed he was close. Santo so far wasn't coming off as one of the almost terrifyingly rich kids you found in the system who thought flying to meet their parents for a weekend in the South of France was no big deal. "I got stuck in SF all summer last year for extra training. It kind of sucked."

	"Oh man, yeah," Santo agreed. "Man, you should visit my folks with me some time. If, you know, you want to? They're in New York City." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Seriously?" Kevin flashed him a quick, bright grin. "I wouldn't want to impose, though," he added quick on its heels, though. He'd gotten a couple of invites to visit friends over the years, but they'd always been revoked when parents found out about his powers. It just seemed like too much of a risk, or an imposition, and it wasn't like he could blame them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It wouldn't be any imposition," Santo promised. "My folks are great. My mom always says I should bring my friends home and we've got a guest room. I bet we could get you some synthetic sheets and stuff. It'll be fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I could, um, bring sheets? If it happens?" No reason Santo's folks should spend money on something like that, when he knew pretty much no one liked synthetic sheets. He'd tried to talk Josh out of them years ago when he'd gone pretty much all synthetic in solidarity, since he didn't really see any reason they both had to suffer. "Which would be cool, but totally no big deal if it doesn't."

	Santo looked at him. "We'll figure it out and it's totally happening. Cause I said so. Hell, we could even bring some of mine back. My bed here's about the same size and I guarantee my sheets can stand up to your powers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah. Okay," he agreed with a cockeyed smile. "That'd be...really awesome."

Even if it would mean not seeing Josh for a weekend at some point. He wouldn't want to do it, like, really soon or anything, but now that they were back in the same place he could see it as something he'd be okay with in maybe a month or two. And he'd so obviously hit the room-mate jackpot.

	"I'll call my mom tomorrow or something," Santo told him. "I mean, not like we'll get a chance any time soon, but in like, a month, maybe? We'll figure something out. Maybe around spring break." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That...sounds like a plan." He grinned again and turned his attention back to Santo's rock collection. "I could, um, make you some stands if you want? For the rocks?" he offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, that would be awesome!" Santo said, also looking at the rocks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah? I mean, if you'd rather not, it's no big deal, but I should be getting a studio set up sometime this week, so it'll be no problem once I do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, it's a great idea. Just, you know, let me know. If you need to measure or whatever, go ahead. You can't really hurt 'em. They're rocks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just as a warning, they might be a little weird?" His smile went slightly sheepish at the admission. "I do industrial art, mostly with scrap metal and stuff. So if you don't like them it's no big deal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nah, sounds cool." Santo grinned. "I think we're gonna get on fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
