MCA #4-8, Thursday night

Jan 24, 2008 23:41

Nathan took advantage of the crazy weather to go for a nighttime jog. When he got back to his apartment he discovered Peter there. Specifically Peter, slumped on the couch, his bangs in his face, and the very picture of angst and teenage woe.

So basically Peter looked like Peter, only he was doing it at Nathan's place. Which meant he wanted Nathan to notice.

"What happened?" Nathan asked.

"I broke up with Ronan," Peter said. "With everything going on, everything we found out - you, me, Claire... it didn't feel right. It wasn't fair to him."

Nathan had his own opinions about Ronan, and Peter's realtionship with him. But, unlike their mother, he knew when it was best to confine himself to a non-committal grunt.

"Ronan was kinda ticked," Peter added.

"You break up with somebody, that's what tends to happen," Nathan said. He went to the kitchen to get some water. He paused to rub Peter's shoulder on the way. "You okay?"

Peter gave a non-committal shrug.

Nathan was used to translating all forms of Peter's mopes. "Spare room's open if you want it."

Peter looked over at him. "You don't mind?"

"I call first dibs on shower," Nathan said, by way of reply.

Peter was being moody enough that he didn't reply with a joke. Instead he said, "Thanks."

"Anytime," Nathan replied.
