With graduation a thing of the past, his father gone and his mood somewhat improved, it was time for Lee to head out. He'd been both looking forward and dreading this day for a long time. And, now that it was here, he felt relatively peaceful about things. His bags had been packed and now he was just getting Pride's things situated for the trip ( Read more... )

So, graduation was next weekend. While it had once seemed so far away, it was now bearing down on him like a battlestar on a kamikaze mission with the earth below. That feeling wasn't helped by the letter he received from his father telling him that, yes, he was still coming, yes, he expected to talk about Lee's future, and yes, he wanted to sit ( Read more... )

It had been a good night. Toby had been crowned king and he'd smiled more than Lee remembered seeing him smile as of late. There had been a lot of people, some dancing, and more laughing and, really, Lee couldn't think of a better way to end a sketchy few weeks. So, he thought he deserved a little lie in this morning. Just him and his bed and ( Read more... )

Lee hadn't ventured outside today and thus missed the sense of foreboding that had been going around. Lucky him. Instead, he was having a night in, paging through a few catalogs in the vain hope that would get his mind off other matters. It worked...somewhat. His mind, seemingly energetic and annoying, decided to send his thoughts scattering in ( Read more... )

Lee woke up still tangled in that stupid blanket he'd gotten trapped in last night. He remembered getting tired while trying to get his shoe out of the blanket and just falling asleep right there. So, he woke up to the scene of a broken fort, scattered candy and his missing jar ( Read more... )

Lee had done a lot of running and he'd eaten sweets and he'd seen his bestest friend, Toby, and now he was back in his room, making a fort of out blankets and cushions. Once the fort had been erected (somewhat), Lee dragged all his candy, his stuffed animal friend, his jar with a heart inside it and a book he couldn't read under it with him ( Read more... )

When the first strands of light got through to Lee's sleepy mind, he threw off his blankets and skittered to his feet on his bed. He didn't know how early or late it was but he didn't care. It was time to get up and time to play! He had to go outside and run around and play with toys and fly planes and be a big boy ( Read more... )

It wasn't often that Lee had a string of good days but that's exactly what he'd been having ever since the cruise. He'd gotten some sun, gotten some huge issues off his chest and then come back to Fandom and gotten a job. Even if it was short term, he was pretty proud of that. Hopefully, if it turned out to hold his interest, he could even think ( Read more... )

The first thing Lee did upon getting back to the island was pick up Pride from the kennel. The second thing he did was promptly get bitten by said rabbit in some form of revenge for leaving him for a week ( Read more... )

When you're in a long distance relationship, you learn to live on phone calls, letters and...other methods of getting by. When one of those important methods suddenly DOESN'T WORK, you're left high, dry and frustrated as all frak ( Read more... )
