"I think so," Victor said, grateful Walter hadn't noticed the slip. "I thought I saw a memo about fridges in rooms, but I don't remember, really." he shrugged. "Oh, and speaking of food, did you know Michael and ben are moving to Belgium?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Belgium? No. That is a pity. I was looking forward to getting to know them both better. What will happen to the Emporium?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"I do not know," Victor admitted sadly, but rememebrign to use his Alfredspeak. "I think they are just going to close it down and go."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter bumped his leg against Victor's and looked at him with concern. "Do you know them well?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"No, not really...but they were kind of my "model gay couple," you know? Proof that two guys can be together for years and still be happy. I felt like maybe I could talk with them if you and I ever had any problems, but now...well, I guess there's still Deb, at least."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Ten years together," Walter said, nodding. "I told Michael just the other day that I wanted sane role models. Deb? From the diner? She seems nice, but I have only met her in passing."

[ooc: I rearranged the letters on the fly and didn't even register the dyslexia moment earlier.]

"She is Michael's mother. He said I should talk with her while he and Ben are gone," Victor explained.

[ooc: speaking of food...lunchtime!]

"You know, you really do not have to speak like that. It is bad enough one of us has to sound like a victim of apostrophe theft."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor raised an eyebrow, and took the opportunity to get out of his funk by changing the subject. "I'm just trying to help, Walter. Do you want me to stop?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I think it is very supportive, but you are not studying to be a butler. You should not have to suffer through some of Alfred's stupid rules."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor wanted to suggest he start smacking Walter with a ruler every time he messed up his words instead, but felt like it was too mean. So, instead, he twisted his lips and said "If it'll make you happy, I'll stop."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"If it makes you happy to do it, feel free." How and why would he stop his boyfriend from showing his support? "Perhaps we could make your room a free zone - a place we can both relax on contraction discipline."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Okay, deal," Victor agreed. "My room equals wild and crazy. Got it."

He smiled and finished up his lunch really quick before standing up. "I better go ask the dean about the fridge before the tiramisu goes bad. Until then, I'll go store it in my lunchbag," he said, and waited for the dessert.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter handed over the dessert and a single spoon. "I did not think to get two."

No, he wasn't smirking. Of course not.

"I have to go see Alfred next, so I will see you later. Do not eat dessert without me."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"I will not," Victor said pointedly, and kissed Walte ron the cheek before heading off to his business.
