The Perk, Thursday Afternoon

[psychic_wonder]

When Sam had left New York, he'd told Peter that he was going back to Fandom to get more of his things, partly because he did plan on doing that, and partly because he liked the way Peter's face lit up at the idea of more of Sam's stuff being in his apartment. What he hadn't mentioned was the feeling he'd been having, drawing him back to Fandom. He

Chuck hadn't exactly been in the best of moods since he started getting the weird dreams about his father, but he brightened considerably when he saw Sam was back in town. "Aww, you missed me."

[psychic_wonder]

Sam smiled when he saw Chuck. "Yeah, I realized I couldn't get by without seeing you. How are you?"

[rocksthescarf]

"Fine, I suppose," he said with a shrug, not wanting get emo all over Sam at the moment. "How's New York?"

[psychic_wonder]

"Busy. It really is a crazy city," Sam said. "I don't know how you're not bored all the time here after living there."

[rocksthescarf]

"I've lived there my whole life," Chuck reminded him. "Trust me, I've done everything there is to do there several times."

[psychic_wonder]

"I find that hard to believe. There's so much to do," Sam said. "It's good to see the island hasn't collapsed without me here."

[rocksthescarf]

"It's only been a few weeks," Chuck said. "You have to give me more time to thoroughly corrupt a place."

[psychic_wonder]

"Oh, well, I suppose I can give you more time if you want," Sam teased. "It's good to see you nonetheless. Is everyone else doing okay?"

[rocksthescarf]

"Everyone's fine," Chuck assured him. "Don't you think we'd call you if something went wrong?"

[psychic_wonder]

"Hopefully?" Sam said. "I don't know, it might fall into that whole 'let's not worry Sam' thing."

[rocksthescarf]

Chuck felt Sam could use a few 'let's not worry Sam' moments after some of the stuff he pulled, but Chuck was smart enough not to mention that.

"Well, John Sheppard's back in town?" Chuck said, trying to come up with something. "So it's pretty much a given once something weird happens in town we're going to kill each other. Looking forward to that."

He was totally kidding.

[psychic_wonder]

He might have been kidding, but Sam still narrowed his eyes at Chuck. "You could try not killing each other once, really."

[rocksthescarf]

"But it's how we show affection for each other," Chuck said with a roll of his eyes. "It's not like I don't come back."

[psychic_wonder]

"You've come back so far. That could always change," Sam pointed out. "You never know when he might go weird and you won't, or something. Or when his hair might become sentient and attack you on its own."

[rocksthescarf]

"I don't think you're allowed to make fun of people with ridiculous hair," Chuck decided. "Pot calling the kettle black sort of thing."

[psychic_wonder]

"My hair isn't ridiculous," Sam said, running his hands over his head self-consciously. "It's getting a little long, but I kind of like it that way."
