Kevin & Julian
Mark was out for the day and Kevin had come by to see what Evan had sent over. They'd discussed it for a while (and tested the material by making out) before setting it aside for a better time. Spontaneous intimacy was kind of difficult when you had to plan out how to go about touching. The suit had gotten them talking though (as if they ever needed much excuse) and it had lead to nostalgia. Which had ended in Josh showing him the collection Kevin had created and Josh had compiled over the years.

"This one's my favorite," he said, picking up a small gold cast humanoid with outstretched limbs. He rocked his leg, which in turn rocked Kevin's. "I can't believe I actually turned gold." He looked at him from the corner of his eye, beneath gold lashes. "Or that you liked it." He laughed softly.

Josh snorted, Julian's conversation relaxing him - as it was likely meant to. He'd spent a lot of time over the years in Julian's sole company. The more ambitious teen knew all the right buttons to push and words to say.

"Uncomfortable like I could cure an entire hospital from a mile away," he commented, turning around to fix him with a playful gaze of life lit blue. "Want any adjustments? I'm sure you've got a new list of complaints that need seeing to."

It was starting to register, finally, that Josh hasn't said a word to him since his offer to leave. Kevin was fairly sure he hadn't so much as glanced at him, either, and that sent panic spiraling tight in his chest again. How bad had he fucked up? Had he just managed to ruin everything, everything that mattered, with his total fucked up lack of control?

"I think-" He shoved himself unsteadily to his feet, fist still clenched tight in the fabric of his own shirt. "I think I should leave." His voice was low and tight and so controlled as to be completely without inflection. He could hold it together long enough to turn himself in at administration, and hopefully they'd let him burn through some of the power writhing under his skin before they started in on whatever disciplinary action he'd be due.

"Okay," Julian said, attention moving smoothly back to Kevin. "I want you to know I trust you, but I think I'll walk you to where you're going. I'll stay back, but it'd be good for both of us if there's a buffer, just in case, yeah? Just in case you need help along the way, for any reason."

He remembered all too well why Kevin had to leave them the first time.

"Josh, are you up to going to see Agent Darkholme on your own?"

	Josh went from a controlled stability to a sudden flare of power again, turning to look at Kevin. Julian was offering to see Kevin out but, he knew things were not alright. Biting his lip he nodded, turning back around as the gold began to rise against his skin again. His hands closed around the chair back, gripping tightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kevin's knees flat out buckled when the power washed over him this time, like liquid sunlight pulsing over his skin. He hit his knees with a grunt, gaze still fixed on Josh as his boyfriend - or was he anymore? - turned his back again.

"Administration," he told Julian, voice cracking on the word as he scrabbled frantically for even a vestige of the iron control he usually wore effortlessly, like a second skin. If the powers training facility had been closer he'd have gone there, where he knew they could lock him down, but he didn't want to risk trying to go that far, and he was thinking just clearly enough to figure that there'd probably be something in the admin building for out of control powers too.

	"Let's go," Julian agreed, sending out a focused, intent telepathic message. Someone would be waiting for them--and someone else would be coming to help Josh, he was sure. He let the shield move, opening the door for them, wanting to put as much distance between the two boys as they could manage. He was not missing the irony of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[OOC: skipping Josh as he's not going to move or react]

Kevin remained crouched where he was for a long, painful moment, gaze fixed unblinking on the back of Josh's neck until it became obvious he had absolutely no intention of moving or speaking again. He wanted to say something, to ask him if he was all right or apologize again. Anything to get some acknowledgment. Except that would probably just make it worse.

Finally he lurched back to his feet, shoved shaking hands into his pockets, and took a deep, steadying breath before heading for the door. He kept his head bent, avoided looking at Julian and let the other boy's tk shield guide him.

Despite his best efforts one hand slipped from his pocket and reached towards Josh as he drew near. It slid against Julian's shield and he curled it into a fist, sped his pace, and almost ran out the door. There was nothing about this that was all right.

There was only one thing Julian could think to say that may give Josh any comfort at the moment, and though it hurt to say it, to think it, it hurt more knowing Josh was hurt.

God, how he hated being in love. There was nothing that sucked more in the whole wide world.

"I'll make sure he's okay," Julian promised Josh before following Kevin, shutting the door quietly behind him.
