Just like every Friday, Alec had work to get to today and training drills to run. But unlike every Friday, by as late as ten o'clock in the morning, he was sitting in his room, eating cereal and staring at a Christmas tree.

The sitting-around-eating-cereal aspect of it was actually probably the stranger one, and had a bit to do with the fact that yesterday had been... kind of a new experience for him. It also had something to do with the fact that the aforementioned Christmas tree was kind of in the way of the door, and he was feeling loose and relaxed enough for once in his life to not actively put in the effort to get rid of it.

Meanwhile, it wasn't really a huge surprise that a tree was there -- like Alec and Sparkle had talked about last night, all kinds of Christmas things had been popping up lately, and acknowleding them had probably contributed in some way to making them show up in his room. Even though he knew Victor was kind of religious, Alec doubted his roommate had gone so far as to bring a giant tree up four flights of stairs, so he was content pinning the blame on Fandom.

He didn't know what to think of Fandom's apparent decision to shower the tree in glitter, but he wasn't going to argue. He just wasn't going to get too close, either.

"There's a tree in our room."

Yes, yes, most likely millions of dollars worth of technology and expertise had gone into making him, and that was the best Victor could come up with when he returned from class. "...Alec, why is there a tree in our room?"

"Island thing. At least the tree's not as pushy," Victor agreed with a small nod. He brought a hand up, hesitated before actually touching any branches. "But it is going to cover everything in here in needles and glitter."

"Most of this stuff does," Victor said. "And, hey, holiday spirit. That's kind of nice, right? Don't worry about moving it, I'll chuck it out the window if it's still here Sunday."

Really, it was a waste of superpowers if you didn't show them off once in a while. Victor nodded appreciatively at Alec's offer, then quirked a smile.

"I'm good," he said. "Glad the semester's over, mostly. I'm going out to California for at least part of break. What about you?"

"Probably in two weeks or so it'll switch over to New Year's things?" Victor offered. "Honestly, I'll be happy if we all stay in our right minds for a while."

"I hope not," Victor said fervently. "I did about all the drumming I want to do, like, ever last week. Plus, marching is lame."

Victor eyed him. "Hold on, are you blushy about Sparkle?"

"Uh-huh." Victor raised an eyebrow, but asked no more. "This is probably nice for him, then. If he never got to have a tree."

"We're cooking buddies," Victor explained. "He lets me do things like make pickle-chocolate chip cookies and doesn't bitch about it. Cool guy. You know him?"

"They were good!" Victor said defensively. "Like ... salted caramel, except with pickle for the salt and chocolate chips for the caramel."

No one but Sparkle appreciated robot taste buds. It was tragic.

And yeah, the club didn't much sound like Alec. "And that's cool. You're kind of getting each other out of your comfort zones, I guess."

"Olive, yeah," Victor said, and now it was his turn for a dorky little smile. "You and Sparkle?"

It wasn't the relationship that made the most sense on its surface, but compared to Gert and Chase it was practically logical.

Victor held up his hands. "It's your thing, Alec. Yours and Sparkle's. I'm not going to run around telling people. Just stick a sock on the door if you need the room, okay?"

He might have added that last part to see if he could get Alec to blush even more.
