baz knocked on leo’s door, his leg finally freed from the cast as he held toffee in one hand. he was mewling and pawed at baz’s nose. “leo, open up!” he didn’t know if leo wanted to see him, but he needed to give him his cat back; that was non-negotiable. “i have tof-- i have your cat.”

                 His words leave her open-mouthed and speechless for a few few seconds.  “ I-I don’t hate you, “  she assures him, cheeks turning crimson.  “ We did, admittedly, get off on the wrong foot, and I’m sorry about that. But I’d like to fix it, because any friend of Val’s is a friend of mine. “  A small pause.  “ And you have a very cute cat. “

he kind of likes scaring her into silence. it feels almost good to speak his mind in a way that doesn’t leave him vulnerable, but he feels almost bad about putting her in this place. “it’s not my cat,” he says, sullenly. “it’s leo’s cat. and we’re not friends, sorry. you’re a little too chipper for me.”

                “ I have my laptop here, if you want to buy it now, “  she offered, extending her laptop out.  “ Val and I share an account, you could just pay her back whenever. “  The fact that he wasn’t even looking at her made Kass frown softly.   “ Baz, right ?   It’s good to see you back at Gallagher, I know Val missed you. “ 

he scowls. “don’t pretend you didn’t hate me last semester. i missed val too, but you talking to me isn’t out of some concern for val’s well being. i’ll just go ask her for some cat food over asking you-- no offense.”

      he likes cats in the way he likes anything, at an arm’s length away, always approaching with meek hesitation. but he guesses he knows toffee ( cute name ) better a fraction or so better than he knows any other cat, seen him on the sill of their room, perched at the foot of leo’s bed. ‘   oh.   ’ he doesn’t know if that sounds like leo or not, because he doesn’t really know leo, as much as he’d like to suppose he does. ‘   well he has some in the room. just on his desk. i’m sure he wouldn’t mind if we grabbed it.   ’ actually he’s not sure at all if he would mind, but he doesn’t want the cat to go hungry and it’s not an unreasonable suggestion, or at least, he doesn’t think it is.

baz reddens, clamming up until toffee paws at him and his jaw is suddenly loosened again. “i mean-- if you think--” he looks at the cat. “i sort of took the silence on his end as a sign, you know? i may seem like an arsehole most of the time, but if he doesn’t want to see me, he doesn’t want to see me. or, apparently, his cat.”

– “OH HEY,” CLAIRE KNEELS TO PET THE CAT, and it mews pushing its head into her palm. “i know this cat – it’s not yours, though. isn’t it leo’s?” she asks, gently petting it. “i mean, shouldn’t it be his responsibility to feed his own cat?” 

baz froze. “toffee is mine now, evident well enough from leo leaving him with me and not returning any of my calls. so now i have a goddamn cat and i need to feed it, claire.”

           “  rumor has it  -  ”   and they don’t technically count  ,   because witness protection students are basically  CUT OFF  from the real world  ,    “  amazon is a frequently used feature here at this school  .  ”    they shrug at the boy  ,   pushes some hair behind their ear  .     “  dunno how well it works  ,   though  .  ” 

he looked at them with a skeptical eye, trying to see what their motives were. “i don’t have an amazon account, but thank you for pointing out the obvious. i figured they didn’t deliver here.”

His face lights up at the sight of a fluffy friend. Animals over people ANYTIME. Zach had a knack for nature, plants and animals alike and there was nothing in the world that could make him happier. He approached very fast, kneeling down to look at the feline. “Oh, ham is good, but not enough for a cat; it’s just an appetizer unless you get enough”, he comments, his eyes finally looking up at the person he was speaking with. “Actually, I run a little pet daycare and yes, I’ve got some cat food in my room. “This animal is not yours, is it?”

“oh, i had no clue. my da used to feed our dogs whatever meat we were having at the table, so i just thought...” his voice trails off as he pets the cat. “um, no. it’s leo’s. but in the meantime, it’s mine.”

                   " Val gets hers on Amazon, “  Kass offers, flashing the boy a smile  ( one that may be trying just a LITTLE too hard ).   “ We have Amazon Prime Now, so you can order something and it’ll come by the end of the day.  I can order some for you, if you’d like ?  I’m sure Val wouldn’t mind letting you borrow some of Onyx’s food as well. “  She smiles again, this time down at the cat.  “ Did you bring him back with you ? “

“amazon, right.” he nodded, not looking kass in the eye. he’d hated her since the previous year, but that comes down to her first interaction with him when she found him in val’s bed. “i don’t have an account, but i’ll ask val about a few extra things of food in the meantime.”

Dimitri watched him for a short moment, the shirt he just put on sticking to his abdomen, his back, his chest, where his skin hadn’t fully dried before he shrugged it back on. “Did you need help?” he asked, raising an eyebrow. He asked in earnest, not to tease.

baz sighed and slowly let go of his cast, putting it down on the tile beneath the bench. “uh, yeah. if you don’t mind.” the short sentence required so much effort, more than he thought.

                 “ GOOD, I missed it as well, “   he chuckled.  “ What’s your new room ?   I’ll escort you, like the gentleman I am. “  Caden was already getting tired of carrying his things.   “ He’s a good kid, I can’t complain. Has a little more fight in him than Grayson, though that’s not saying much. “ 

“i’m in 406. it’s a bitch to get into the lift, let me tell you. the thing is so small.” he looks at caden and is almost a bit sad, but he’s happy to see him again. “good. tell him i’ll fight him at high noon.”

     he skirts down the halls, the soles of his sneakers dragging along the polished floor, but the gentle drift comes to a half upon seeing the cat, then hearing the question in tandem. one headphone dangles from his ear, a gaze flitting towards the cat, then the boy, the motions put into repeat until he’s somewhat satisfied. ‘   is that leo’s cat ?   ’ he asks. he wondered whether it had a name yet. 

baz’s heart stops in his chest. “i mean-- it’s-- uh, yeah, this is leo’s cat. his name is toffee.” he awkwardly pets the top of toffee’s head. “i-- he sort of left the cat with me and then fucked off somewhere and, uh, isn’t answering my calls. so now i just have a cat, i guess.”

             “  right  ,   because you were the only one holding gallagher together  ,  ”    she deadpans  ,   looking back to him  .     “  for you  ,   i personally  like  the workout  .   it’s my annual reminder to not underestimate this  charming  smile  -  ”   and there’s a flash of her pearly whites  ,   that’ll disappear once the topic is on her father again  .     “  so he didn’t say anything ?  ”    what was that  ,   DISAPPOINTMENT  in her voice ? 

he rolls his eyes at her but smiles and gently nudges her with his shoulder. “your da is a prick, amelia. don’t worry about what he has to say. he’s not paying attention to you all the way across the ocean.”

baz bit his lip, leo’s cat toffee mewling in his lap as he sat on a bench looking at one of the large windows on the main floor. “do-- do you know where i can get cat food?” he asked. it’d been a few days since leo left him in the hallway with his damn cat and he was running out of ideas. “i fed it some ham from the mess hall, but i think it needs more than that.”

          she blinks  ,   sputtering  .     “  yes ?  ”    it ends like a  QUESTION  ,   because she’s not quite sure that’s the answer  .     “  like sometimes  ,   we  actually  convince mom to order in rather than eating her cooking  .  ”  

“then with whatever is happening with cole, just speak plainly. maybe you’ll get some takeaway out of it too. speaking of which-- takeaway sounds like a good idea.”

DImitri liked to go swimming to relieve the stress on his muscles that activities like sparring and running put on him. He was throwing on a shirt after doing laps for a few hours when he noticed someone come in. Smiling, he turned to the pool and back to the other. “All yours,” he said. “Though it’s a little cold today,” he warned. 

@gallagherstart​

his physical therapist had suggested he try swimming as a low-impact workout to get his body back up to speed, especially since everyone else has been in bootcamp. “thanks, mate,” he says as he sits down on the bench and gently eases his walking boot off.

“is  this  BOOTCAMP  thing  really  as  bad  as  people  say?”  he’s  sure  they’re  just  an  exaggeration,  as  most  things  tend  to  be  around  mostly  young  adults  —  atty  knows  that  for  sure,  because  he  still  is  a  young  adult  here  and  he  says  shit  like  that  all  the  time.  particularly,  tough.  he’s  curious  about  how  hard  they  actually  make  the  students  work.  "think  i’d  rather  be  doing  that  than  my  online  work  —  'ts  so  boring  that  i  started  binge  watching  say  yes  to  the  dress  and  got  mad  at  one  of  them  because  they  got  the  ugliest  neckline.“

“yeah, it’s pretty bad. why do you think i have this?” he taps his cast with one of his crutches, then chuckles lightly. “just kidding. i had this on before bootcamp. managed to get a good get out of jail free card with it. you’re better off with your trash telly, trust me.”
