[Action | Closed] Late Arrival
Who: Ronan Lynch, Noah Czerny, Richard Gansey III
What: Starting the semester late and surprising his best friends by breaking into their house and drooling on someone's pillow.
When: Before Halloween
Where: Noah and Gansey's house.
Warnings: Cursing, mostly. Will add as needed.

It hadn't been an easy task convincing the University to let him enroll later than was normal, but having unusual circumstances and one of the highest GPA's at Aglionby had helped a lot. He'd made agreements to get caught up and explained the situation with his mother while not mentioning the fact that he hadn't really wanted to go to college and hated school. At least there were no uniforms. No ties to choke himself with. Matthew was safe with Declan and his mother was happy and safe in Cabeswater. He could do this. He could be here and be with his friends and they could just be themselves.
So he'd packed up the BMW and Chainsaw, visited his mother in her new cottage, said goodbye to Matthew and didn't punch Declan because they have made progress in their relationship that means secretly he's going to miss his brother and not so secretly he'd better take care of things while he was gone or he would punch him.
The drive was longer than he'd planned so by the time he'd arrived he was ready to sleep. Not Dream sleep, just sleep. Except surprising the boys meant not telling them he was coming which meant he had no key and they were gone. House locked. No entrance. For anyone who wasn't Ronan Niall Lynch. He'd replace the window he may have accidentally broke trying to get in and whatever glass object he'd knocked over in the dark which he cleaned up and left a note "oops" on the counter in the kitchen next to the dirty glass and plate he hadn't washed. Boots were left on the floor with socks and the pillow he'd stolen had a small wet spot where he'd curled around it and promptly passed out, leaving Chainsaw to explore the house alone.

"I stopped worrying about anything that came out of your head months ago." Once Ronan learned control, Gansey had never worried. Nothing of Ronan's would harm him.
Reaching out, he brushed his fingers over whatever Noah had landed on. He tried to think of what it reminded him of, but there were too many possibilities, too many strange sensations that he couldn't quite grasp the correct description. He knew that there was something solid there, but his eyes and his other senses couldn't resolve it. "You made a giant invisibility cloak?"
no subject
"I could wear this and spy on Gansey in the shower," he teased and let the fabric go so he could hop down and really give it the look over it deserved. "This is amazing...."
no subject
It was one of the more complex and larger things he'd brought back from his dreams. Somehow objects like this were far more difficult than living creatures like Chainsaw or Wingnut. Probably because he already knew what they should look like and how they should behave. Creating something that shouldn't exist took a bit more focus and imagination. And he had to be careful not to leave any loopholes for unexpected possibilities. Invisibility was different than making something disappear completely, for example.
no subject
"You're lucky that we didn't accidentally hit the BMW or someone else didn't try to park there." It wasn't meant as a reproof, but as a warning. Reaching out again, he touched the fabric, marveling at how perfectly it worked. "Noah's right. It is amazing, Ronan. It's like something out of a book."
Gansey wanted to ask what else Ronan had created, but he knew he had to keep his curiosity in check. It wasn't a subject to discuss in detail while they were on the street. It also was one that could hurt Ronan. He knew that Ronan became frustrated when his dream creations didn't match his expectations, and he didn't want to ruin this surprise with those darker emotions. "Do you have any other surprises for us?"
no subject
He did hum at the warning. "That is true. Lucky for you we don't have a whole lot of company." He crinkled his nose at Ronan, "I don't like people touching my things. And wingnut doesn't like a whole lot of people. The last time someone tried to flirt with Gansey, she plastered herself on the guys face. I think she was trying to smother him."
Shrugging he moved around the car once, lifting the cloak carefully once he was sure no one else was watching, before pulling it off and folding it carefully to reveal the beamer. He came back around, cradling the blanket in his arms only to chuckle to himself, "Looks like I don't have forearms. Man, you need to make a onesie for me like this. Imagine all the twinkies I could steal."
He looked at Gansey, I wouldn't steal twinkies, promise..
Maybe.
no subject
"No. No more surprises. At least not tonight."
He rubbed his fingers over the BMW when Noah took the cloak.
"It's practically indestructible. You can crash shopping carts into it and not leave a mark." But crashing an car into it...not something he wanted to test. "But maybe the cloak is better used for voyeurism." He smirked at Noah. He'd consider the onsie idea.
"I guess the only surprise left would be someone sharing their bed because the couch is a piece of shit. Did you find that on the street corner with a free sign?"
no subject
Making a sound of protest over Wingnut's antics, he tried to look stern. "Chris was not attempting to flirt." Or Gansey hadn't noticed that he had been. Being nice shouldn't automatically be classified as flirting.
He felt an odd jolt as Noah folded up the blanket and parts of him disappeared and reappeared. He knew that Noah was safe and whole, but the strangeness of it caused certain instincts to kick in even if they weren't necessary. Letting out a breath, he gave Noah an amused look, not following for the silent reassurance. Twinkies would be stolen if the onesie existed.
"Shopping carts are different than cars." Glancing over at the Camaro, he couldn't help wondering if Ronan was right about the BMW and if that magic had transferred to the Pig. "Do you think the Pig has the same durability?" He wasn't going to test it but it'd be reassuring not to worry about scratches and broken windshields. "The couch came with the property. I'm not sure where it originated, but we can get rid of it. The bed situation might take some time to figure out since normally we end up together."
no subject
"I end up in either place but usually," he points to Ganseys room, "his room."
But, they could share.
no subject
Which was a relief for Gansey. If Noah was beside him, the nightmares lessened. He could sleep most of the night if he had that reassurance beside him, knowing that Noah would protect him from any dangers.
"Okay," he called out. The cabinet was probably the best place, even if it meant that Noah would have access to it to attempt his stalking or snack stealing. Turning to Ronan, he tried not to look awkward as he glanced over at his room. "Uh - Noah will probably let you borrow his bed, if you want privacy."
no subject
Ronan understood the insomnia they all seemed to share no matter how crappy or great things might be in the moment. Sleep was a rare treasure none of them could hold onto for very long. Not when they were alone. He hadn't slept much since they had left for school. Adam one way and Noah and Gansey another.
"Bed not big enough for three?" Ronan asked, casually teasing, running a hand over the back of the crappy couch and thinking about the connection Noah and Gansey had between them and how much he'd missed them and how happy he was he could finally be here knowing his mother and Matthew were safe. "Noah's bed is fine. If he doesn't mind."
no subject
"We can sleep together, us three. I don't take up that much room, anyway. At least for tonight. But, my bed is your bed if you want it."
Really, Noah's bed was anyones that would have him.
no subject
Watching Ronan and Noah, he wondered if he should feel jealous. Wasn't that a normal reaction to your kind of boyfriend hugging someone else? Instead Gansey relaxed, the world returning to a more normal configuration. If Adam was with them, it would settle into its correct place, but this was close to normal.
"Are you sure that you want to share?" he asked Ronan. Not because he didn't want Ronan in bed with them, but Ronan seemed to worry about his gift and what might happen if others were near when he slept. Not that Gansey worried about it. Ronan's creations wouldn't harm them and if something did try such a thing, Gansey had the feeling he'd be able to stop those actions. "You're welcome wherever you wish to be, but we won't push you to do something you're not comfortable with."
no subject
"Or he knew I'd drive it into a ditch or some shit." He smirked at Gansey and glanced back at Noah, "I'm safe for sharing." He'd stay awake all night if he had to, but he'd been practicing so he should be safe.
