Assistants' Lounge, Wed 18

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

With only one class to worry about, Angel had plenty of time to hang out and do nothing pay close attention to his studies.

Currently he was curled up on the couch and reading a large, old, dusty book.

For fun.

Weirdo.

Sean, possessed of a better sense of fun than his dad, was chasing a ball around on the floor.

There was fresh coffee brewing.

[Lounge is for TAs, library/clinic helpers, yadda, yadda, yadda...]

"Well no, but it stinks. It hardly attracts anyone," Cameron considered the cake. "I was kinda more thinking of Chocolate is my life. I made it for Aeryn once and she liked it."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"What's in that?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron grinned tiredly, he wouldn't mind chocolate right now. "Fresh brownie, covered with three chocolate ice cream scoops with two oreo biscuits in between topped with hot fudge."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"... Hell I could go for that right now."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me too. I'm kinda too lazy to make it myself though." He proved it by not moving at all.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel gave a half-grin. "Should I let you get some rest?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"No, I got homework to catch up on and... Sleep bad." He said eloquently and nodded.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Want me to poke you with my pen to keep you awake then?" Angel grinned.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, just..." He drew a circle on his arm. "Stick to this spot? The rest is sore." He laughed at himself.

"I'd offer a rub-down except both of our girlfriends would either kill us for doing it, or for not taking pictures."

Cameron stared at Angel for a moment, his brain trying to process what had just been said. "Yeah, I think you might be right." He finally replied. And yawned.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Why so tired anyway?" Angel asked. "Classes kicking your ass?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"No. Just missed a lot of sleep the last few days," Cameron replied while plucking at the armrest.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel frowned with concern. "Something wrong?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you could say that." He rubbed a hand across his face. "I got called home Sunday cause my dad was in a plane crash."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel sat up. "Oh my god. Is he okay? Is your family all right?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yes. No. Bit of both?" Cameron shrugged helplessly and stared in front of him. "He's lost his legs. I don't think anyone of us is alright right now, but apparently the best thing I can do is keep up with classes."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Jesus," Angel said. "Is there anything I can do? Help with classes you might've missed maybe?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Cameron said gratefully. "I think it should be alright. Self-Defense maybe, if it doesn't require me to move right now."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"No idea what Prof. McLeod has planned," Angel said. "But if I can carry whatever load I can for you, I will."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron smiled and thumped Angel on the back in a manly, pal sort manner. "Thanks, man. I appreciate it."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Happy to help a friend," Angel said.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nodded and sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "I think I should try to get some reading done at least. Just... poke if I start snoring."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Will do," Angel promised. He picked up his own book again to give Cam the privacy that he needed.
