"Yeah. Cool." With the pain as low as it ever got, Adrien carefully let go of Mikhail's hand. He stood up, stretching cautiously before offering Mikhail a hand up. "Sorry about being so pissy when you got here."

(I'm on now)

"It's fine." Mikhail replied as he got up and smiled at Adrien before going to his side of the room.

Adrien wandered into the living room, where his coat was slung over the couch. He hadn't put it away yet, and he definitely couldn't put it somewhere it could be easily stumbled across. Maybe he could shove it under the bed? Put it on the top shelf of a closet? He sighed, gathering it in his arms and making his way to the bedroom. He could just leave it on the bed for now.

Mikhail plopped down on his bed and went on his phone to look around for jobs. He might need to do two jobs, like working at a library and a cafe…His dad used to work at a cafe and her mom used to work at a library. Ughhhhhhh, why do I have to think about them now?

Charlie tossed the seal skin onto the bed and massaged an ache in his shoulder. He had a doctors appointment in… two weeks? Three weeks? He would need to check his phone. His pone which let out a loud ding. It was just Ru, texting to say Adrien 'just had to come over and hang with him' and also to 'bring your roommate so I can make sure he's chill'

Mikhail sighed and put his phone away and took out one of the books he has, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, and started reading it. It was one of his favorite books and he has reread the book about a million times by now but it was still his favorite.

Adrien walked up to Mikhail. He didn't want to interrupt his reading, but he also knew Ru would probably come over at a random time in the middle of the night if he didn't. Sometimes Adrien really hated his brother. "Hey, Mikhail? Would you be willing to go somewhere with me?"

Mikhail glanced up from his book and at Adrien when he started talking. "Sure, when are we going?" He asked, moving some hair out of his face.

"My brother's apartment," Adrien answered, pulling on some shoes and throwing on his most comfortable hoodie. "He wants me to go show you off. My car's in the driveway." He grabbed the keys off the bed, hoping Mikhail would agree to come along.

Mikhail put his book on his desk with the book open on the page he was on as he got up and put on his converse. "Okay then," He replied, following Adrien to where his car was.

Adrien let out a soft sigh of relief as he opened the door to his car. It was an old pickup that used to be blue but was more of a weird greyish color now. He yanked the door open and slammed it shut, turning to Mikhail. "You need to slam the doors if you want them to close. This car is kind of old."

Mikhail nodded and got into the car, slamming the door shut, glancing around the car. "At least it looks nice," He commented.

"Thanks." Adrie started the car and started the short drive to Ru's apartment. "So I guess we should get to know one another. Uh, how old are you?"

"I guess we should. I'm 18," Mikhail answered, glancing out the window and at the sky. "How old are you?" He asked.

"19," He replied fiddling with the radio until he found the classic rock station. Hotel California played softly in the background when he asked his next question. "What's your favorite show? I really like Firefly- Oh, uh, do you know what Firefly is?"

"No, not really," Mikhail answered, moving some hair out of his face. Usually he was on his laptop or he reading, drawing, stuff like that.

"Oh, it's really cool!" Adrien started, eyes lighting up. "It's kind of like a western, but in space. It follows this band of smugglers as they take jobs and do semi-illegal stuff and take in awesome people and stuff. You should totally check it out." He smiled fondly.

Mikhail smiled slightly when his eyes lit up. "Cool, I'll check it out when I have free time," He replied, smiling back warmly.

"You should, it's totally awesome." He concentrated on the road for a few minutes. They were almost halfway there. "You ask a question."

"Oh, okay then. Ummmmmm, what's your favorite color??????" Mikhail asked, he usually wasn't great at stuff at like this.

(I'm back!)

"Hmmm, probably blue. Or silver. How about you?" Adrien asked as they rolled up to Ru's apartment. He pulled into the parking garage and left the car, slamming the door on his way out.

(Yayyyyyy)

Mikhail got out of the car and slammed the door shut. "Mine's either black or purple or any cool color." He answered.

Adrien laughed. "What makes a color 'cool'" he asked, putting finger quotes around the word cool. He led Mikhail into the lobby and then the elevator, pressing the button for the third floor and sending Ru a quick 'We're here' text.
