Room 335 - Thursday Night (After the Phone Tag)

Feb 09, 2006 22:09

Victor had just made a call to Walter, and paced around his room waiting for his boyfriend.

This was not cool.

Walter didn't get the message until he was done at work. He may have broken some of his own speed records getting from town to Victor's room.

He knocked before opening the door with his key and entering. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"No," Victor said, wrapping his arms around Walter. "They want me back at Xavier's this weekend. I leave tomorrow at five. I...I hope I'll be back."

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 05:25:39 UTC

"What?" Walter searched Victor's face for some sign this was a really bad joke. "Why? What do you mean you hope you'll be back?"

anole_x February 10 2006, 05:29:45 UTC

"I...I don't know. It sounded like an emergency, or Jubilee is playing a horrible prank on me. Either way, I have to go. I hope...oh shit, they'd tell me if it was my parents, right?"

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 05:42:33 UTC

"If it were your parents, they wouldn't make you wait until 5:00 tomorrow to go." Walter rubbed a hand over Victor's back and tried to stay calm.

"Who is Jubilee, and what did he or she say?"

anole_x February 10 2006, 12:43:48 UTC

"Good," Victor sighed with relief.

"Did I ever tell you about the X-Men?"

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 18:18:30 UTC

"A little." Walter said, tightening his arms around Victor. "This has something to do with them?"

anole_x February 10 2006, 18:53:06 UTC

Victor sighed has he felt Walter's arms tighten. "Yeah, it does. Jubilee is part of them, except she's not a teacher yet. She was kinda my "Big Sisiter" for a while, and got me introduced to Xavier's. That's probably why they had her call. But...what are they hiding? I...I have no idea, and it's creeping me out."

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 18:59:00 UTC

"Why do you think they're hiding something? When did she call? What did she say? It can't be one of those 'someone's attacking the school' emergencies you've mentioned or they wouldn't want you to wait even a second, right?"

Victor pulled Walter to the bed with him and sat down. "Because they're being sneaky. If it was something extremely serious, I would've been gone by now. Headmistress Frost probably wouldn't have even bothered with a phone call. So it's not huge...but it's big enough to force me to come back."

He sighed and flopped back on teh bed. "Jubes basically said that the X-Jet was coming by tomorrow at 5, and that she'd be in big trouble if she told me why. So what the fuck is going on? I mean, my birthday isn't for another month. My parents are safe, no one else died...so what?"

He growled and contemplated throwing something.

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 19:08:43 UTC

"Right. So you're not in immediate danger." Walter got to the next, and very important to him, question. "Why don't you know if you'll be coming back. Would they make you stay? Would you stay if it was your choice?"

anole_x February 10 2006, 19:57:17 UTC

Victor shook his head. "Jubilee said I'm supposed to go for the weekend, but...at Xavier's, you never know what's gonna happen. reality could change, and I'd never remember that Fandom High existed. I hope that doesn't happen, but..."

He shook his head again, this time trying to hold back tears. "I'll do everything I can to come back, Walter. I came here because I couldn't handle it when Jean-Paul died. I stayed here because of you."

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 20:09:48 UTC

The idea that Victor could forget he even existed made Walter's stomach turn painfully.

"No. They remember you're here and you've been here more than a month. You won't forget."

But what if he did? He shifted on the bed and put his arms around his boyfriend, not wanting to let him go until after the X-Jet (whatever that was) had left.

anole_x February 10 2006, 20:13:20 UTC

"I'll take Bot to remind me. I don't ever want to forget you," he replied, kissing Walter and holding him tight.

walter_n_wires February 10 2006, 20:30:15 UTC

"Then don't get killed while you're gone or I'll be very angry with you." Walter tried to make a joke of it, but he hated the idea of Victor going into something potentially dangerous while Walter was here on Fandom Island with a bunch of kids doing frivolous kid things.

He drew back from Victor and took his hand, looking at it carefully.

anole_x February 10 2006, 20:36:35 UTC

"I won't," Victor assured, wiping his eyes and smiling. "I'm sure if anything happened you or Alfred would hear about it and you'd come running with your butler-fu."

He saw where Walter was looking and tilted his head. "Is there something on my hand?"
