Night 46: M21-30 Hallway

[sdatislife]

Shinji hesitated at the threshold and after a moment of horrific indecision and fear he forced himself to take the step out of his room and into dim and darkened hallway. It was all strange again. The people, the appearance of this hallway - so much for hoping that last night might have been a fluke. With a start, he realized he still didn't know

Dinner had been uneventful. Except for the part where they'd put S.T. in a totally different section. Complete with new roommate. The new guy was zonked out cold. Made him better dinner conversation than ninety percent of the Institute, but getting a name would have been nice. Or at least a baseline read on whether or not he was a homicidal maniac.

When he was sure the nurse was gone for good, he started yanking open drawers and closets. Everything was in place. They'd reassembled everything like a cop car on the top of a certain other Institute's domed center. He gave a low whistle. What the fuck, man. Even his recycling pile, reeking of yeast byproducts. He screwed the caps on the empties a little tighter and went back to loading up

It was Peter's turn to leave first this time. Sam watched him go for a second or two, still contemplating everything his roommate had told him. He wasn't certain if he should find their similarities eerie or...but he had to admit, a part of him thought Peter was lucky to have a brother who didn't quite fit that strict definition of human, either. Someone who actually understood what it was like instead of standing on the outside calling it wrong without really knowingExcept that shouldn't have-he knew he shouldn't be thinking that way. He'd never wish for this demon blood psychic crap to be pushed onto Dean. It was already more than enough that Dean had gotten caught up in it because of him, paid the price more than Sam ever could. But sometimes-there was just a lot he knew Dean would never get, and as selfish as it was, he wanted Dean to know where he was coming from

Jogging around the corner, Dean spotted the light spilling from M24's opened door. Christ. He'd made it just in time.

He slowed to a walk as he approached the door. Sam stood smack in the middle, his hands reaching up and fiddling with what he assumed was probably the duct tape even though there was really no reason it should've been jostled outta place or the salt line broken. Dean sauntered closer, raising an eyebrow at his brother.

"Dude. It doesn't gotta be perfectly aligned," Dean said. "We're fresh outta T-squares."

He offered Sam a small grin, and while he didn't expect the kid to instantly forgive him for Cold Oak, at least he could try to give off the let's not have a pissing contest over this right here and now vibe and they could just focus on tonight and not getting killed 'cause they were distracted over something over and done with. So long as he could keep on eye on Sam and make sure he wasn't gonna try anything funny, Dean didn't mind some awkward silence or death glares or whatever his brother threw

Sam jumped. Jesus."Hey." He dropped his hands, silently hoping that Dean hadn't noticed that split second slip. He should've noticed Dean coming from down the hall. At least this sudden awkwardness seemed to override the tension that would've been there otherwise

Sam hadn't started everything with a Dean, you dickless sonuvabitch, which that right there? Was pretty promising already. Dean didn't let himself get too relaxed as he followed Sam in and set up shop, leaning his hip against the edge of the desk, arms crossed. If Sam wanted to talk about patterns and weird crap going down, then that was more than okay with him. Dean didn't think for a second his brother had given up on the deal - kid was too stubborn and bull-headed for that - but they were both here in one piece, he could keep an eye on Sam, and do their job at the same time

Dinner had been pretty quiet, which honestly didn't bother Neku in the slightest, though he'd wished there were better tunes at least. When the announcement came on it always gave him a start and he began gathering up his things, though that only included a flashlight and his pillowcase to hold all the stuff he was gonna grab in.

He still felt pretty weird about partnering up with Joshua, even if it was just for one night. He'd have to see how things went. If the guy even showed up. Seriously, he didn't get what the big deal was. The room wasn't that far away. If they hadn't wasted time with that girl and the tall dark vanishing weirdo, they probably could've gotten it done last night just fine.

Abe once again donned his wetsuit top and snapped the BPRD logo tight around his waist. It felt less like a collar now since he'd found a reason to use it. With Minato he'd gotten lucky, next tight he might need the protection. He needed a weapon this time, at the very least a steel pipe or a hammer or something like that, but if this place had an armory it wasn't marked on the local map

It looked like Sam would be waiting around in their room for the beginning of nightshift, and Peter had to admit he was kind of jealous. It seemed like he was the one who was always running around. Well, except for last night, when Nathan (or "Harrison") had been reckless enough to come find himThinking about it that way, he did prefer being the one who went to meet his brother, rather than the other way around. He knew that on a practical level it was stupid to get so worried, especially when he knew that Nathan had once been in the military, and yet he couldn't stop himself. Some people would have thought it was strange for a younger brother to worry so much about his older sibling, but Peter thought it was warranted with the way the institute had messed around with Nathan so much
