Room 314 - Early Tuesday Afternoon

[rocksthescarf]

Chuck had come back from Fandom reasonably early considering he had spent most of the night bothering his sister (god, he loved saying that) and talking to Nathaniel about how said sister reacted to the big news. He was tired when he got back but not tired enough to not be surprised when he noticed that he now had 314 to himself

"All hail the returning hero," Hannibal said cheerfully from the door.

"There's the kind of greeting I like to hear," Chuck said as he finished filling up his glass. "Miss me?"

[decoder_rings]

"Terribly," Hannibal said, stumbling in an effort to illustrate just how much he'd missed Chuck. "I could barely go on."

[rocksthescarf]

"Oh, Hannibal. Try to maintain some dignity," he said, snickering. "I take it since the dorms are still standing that nothing too bad happened while I was away."

[decoder_rings]

"Pretty boring actually," Hannibal told him. "I mean, I had some fun but that's because Christmas is generally a fun time. Or whatever. No weird shit happened."

[rocksthescarf]

"That's...kind of disappointing, actually," Chuck said. He sat his glass of scotch on the bedside table before sitting back on his bed. "I was expecting an invasion of reindeer or something."

[decoder_rings]

"Why, so they could crap all over the place?" Hannibal asked. "I'll pass. How was your trip home?"

[rocksthescarf]

"Pretty good. Same old stuff going on for the most part," he replied. Sure, listening to Nathaniel emo and trying to avoid telling him that he made out with Blair was new but nothing he couldn't handle. "Found out yesterday my dad's getting married in the spring."

[decoder_rings]

"Oh hey, congrats to your dad," Hannibal said, nodding. "You get along with her?"

[rocksthescarf]

"For the most part. She's not going to get in my way or anything," he said. That was the most important thing. "You know Eric van der Woodsen? It's his mother."

[decoder_rings]

"Oh yeah?" He remembered Eric. Eager young kid. "So, you'll have a stepbrother right here to have family dinners with!"

[rocksthescarf]

"I'll have a stepsister too. One of my good friends. Well...she used to be a good friend. Now she's on this "trying to be good" kick," The look on Chuck's face clearly said how he felt about that. "People trying to be good don't usually find me to be the best of company. Bad influence or something like that."

[decoder_rings]

"You're lucky you have me, then," he said and smiled. "I don't care what kind of company you are. But really, the good ones are just missing out."

[rocksthescarf]

Chuck smirked. "A life sans sex and debauchery does seem awfully boring and pointless."

[decoder_rings]

"Jesus, you're telling me," Hannibal said sincerely. "I can't imagine how nuns and monks live."

[rocksthescarf]

"I refuse to believe that they don't cheat at the whole abstinence thing," he said. "It's impossible to go without."
