The Family [Finished]

[accalia]

Bear laughs at that one "Well, that sounds like you had quite the interesting introduction!"

[yamikuronue]

He blushes. "Yeah. So. He's got a girlfriend now so that's done for sure."

[accalia]

'Woah now! when did that happen?" Bear sounds absolutely floored "I thought the old grouch would be a bachelor until the day this job eventually kills him, three days before retirement."

[yamikuronue]

"Oh, uh... I don't think that's my story to tell?" he says, trying to sound like Tony except for his anxiety about doing it right.

[accalia]

"Hmph. there you go teasing a bear again." Bear complains "But, if it isn't your story to tell then i can't fairly pressure you for the story."

[yamikuronue]

Vic nods. "I'm... not exactly normal."

[accalia]

"Who is?" Bear asks, finally pulling into the driveway. "Hey, good talk today, If you ever want to talk, or just have another go at that sundae let me know, any time."

[yamikuronue]

Vic nods, slowly. "It was... nice."

[accalia]

"indeed. Have fun, and remember about this big old bear from time to time."

[yamikuronue]

Vic smiles. "Thank you," he says, as he unbuckles his seatbelt.

[accalia]

Bear smiles as Vic exits the car. "Any time. And tell tony I'll be asking after his beau some time. The sly dog." And with that Bear reverses and drives away into the.... early afternoon light.

[yamikuronue]

Vic heads into the house, still blushing faintly.

[accalia]

Tony seems to be cleaning the living room, or rather moving out of it, there's a lot of boxes about he's thrown stuff into. Tony doesn't hear Vic enter the house, being focused on his task.

[yamikuronue]

"Spring cleaning?" he asks, wryly.

[accalia]

Tony spins around in surprise, sliping into a defensive fighting stance. he's done that several times now when Vic has startled him... Once Tony recognized Vic he straightens quickly enough "Moving into the master bedroom." He explains, now that he's moved the reason's pretty clear why, the poor abused couch has broken in half, years of abuse as a bed have taken its toll on the once venerable furniture piece.
