Library [02/04]

[likethegun]

Sam was back in the library again for his regular Monday shift, now that he didn't have to sit by anyone's side in the clinic. He was pretty sure he could go for a good long while without having to do that again, and was more than happy to have things back to normal.

It was adorable how Sam thought he could try to change the subject around Peter. "So far, yeah. Why aren't you up for social yet?"

"I...I don't really have time," Sam replied. "I have so much research to do, on top of everything else, and..." He trailed off, shrugging.

"What's everything else?" Peter asked, since he already knew about the research.

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

"You know, homework, working here, that sort of thing."

"By which you mean avoiding people?" Peter guessed.

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

"I'm not avoiding people. I'm talking to you now, aren't I?"

"Does it count when I came to see you?" Peter asked.

"I could have gone in the back and pretended I wasn't here," Sam pointed out.

"True," Peter said. "Still. Glad as I am you're up for being social with me, why aren't you up for being social with anyone else?"

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

Sam was quiet for a moment before he shrugged. "I have you, and Dean, and Dawn. I don't need to be social with anyone else."

Peter facepalmed.

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

Sam scowled softly at Peter's reaction. "What?"

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Avoiding people isn't going to help," Peter said. "Though, again: very glad that you're not shutting me out."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

"You made it very clear that I can't shut you out," Sam said. "You're crazy and determined to help, we've established that. But I can't let anyone else get involved in our family's mess, it wouldn't be right."

"I like how crazy came first," Peter said. "I assume you were ranking those in order of importance."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

Sam cracked a small smile. "Yes, I was. You have to be crazy to know everything you know and still want to stick around."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Peter said. "But I get to call you crazy for hanging out with possibly-nuclear me."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

"You haven't shown me any sign of going nuclear," Sam pointed out. "I think that makes me less crazy."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"But still crazy."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

"Okay, fine, I'm crazy too."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Good." Peter grinned. "Now I feel better."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

Sam laughed quietly. "Glad I could help with that."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

"Part of the best friend code," Peter said, with a sage nod. "We have to match up on these things."

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[likethegun]

"So, if you get more crazy, does that mean I have to get more crazy too?" Sam asked.

Re: Fourth Period [02/04]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Depends," Peter said. "If it's a temporary thing then you have to get proportionately more sane to help bring me down. But if it's forever then you have to try to match up."
