A foot of snow? I'll cook for us if you get some staples!

But before cooking, I think we'll make some snow angels, warm up by the fireplace. I think I'll warm up even more by sitting in your lap. It might help warm you up, too. I wouldn't want you to get a chill from all the snow.

You a good cook, Skippy? I can whip up a decent meal now and then, but I’m no expert.

Perfect.

You know at this rate - we might be snowed in all week. Even up to Christmas Eve. Did you - have plans?

I like to think I am. I had to cook for my family a lot. We shared the load and my mother taught me a bit before I left.

[ he misses her. her and his sister. ]

What? Is it really sticking the way they say it will? I usually stay on campus, but no plans. Can I

Can I stay with you?

You all seem close. Is it hard? Not always going back for the holidays?

Looks like it, yeah.

As long as you haven’t got a better offer I don’t know about. Sure, you can stay.

[hawk just about winces, realizing that looks pretty callous in black and white. without the teasing note in his tone. so quick he tacks on:]

I mean - yeah. I’d like that. I’d like that a lot, Skippy. Don’t usually do more than hunker down, drink, and try to call my mother in between family dinners I don’t attend.

You like eggnog?

I miss them of course. But going home is difficult. My family doesn’t always agree on politics and social values.

I try to stay on campus for the winter break if I can make the money for it, that’s all. It’s easier.

[ and a little lonely, but he won’t say that out loud. it sounds pathetic. especially considering a year ago the way he had found out hawkins fuller was his contact.

hawks right the first message stings and tim begins to wonder if he should be making plans to get out of his plush bed until the next messages come through. ]

Eggnog is good. Especially after being out in the cold.

I’m making cocoa for you - or starting it up. It’s so cold outside.

[ he has to earn his keep, after all. ]

Yeah? Is that the first battleground for your impeccable debate skills? I'll bet you could hold your own. Except against your sister - she sounds... a little scary.

[hawk hates the idea of money being a factor in any of it. he hates the idea that tim is entertaining equally lonely strangers in the solitude of his room during the holidays just to get by when he should be with his family, or in the arms of someone who really appreciates what he's offering. it twists uncomfortably in his chest, almost like the heat of jealousy. a very bad, very dangerous thing.]

Add some peppermint for me, would you? I've got a few squares - middle shelf in the pantry.

You know...it's a nice change to have someone waiting for me. Could get used to it.

[hawk's lonely too.]

My sister isn't scary but she knows what she wants. She doesn't shy away from what she feels. I really respect her for it.

[ and he's been grateful for it when it's protected him from the harsher views his family might have. ]

Peppermint, of course. It'll be ready for you when you get in. It's the least I can do, but I like taking care of people. You cook for the people you care about. To me there's no better way to show that.

How far out are you? The roads aren't too dangerous, are they?
