Alistair was remarkably antsy. Certainly meeting Lance to look at apartment complexes with places for rent was much less stressful than being a Senshi, but it was still a big step in their relationship, and he couldn't forget how shocked his boyfriend had looked at the very suggestion of such a thing. So yes, he was panicking, though he was doing his best not to show it.
He was hovering outside the Kent's door, rocking on his heels and taking slow breaths before he finally knocked.

"Why you don't just walk in, I will never know." Lance said as he opened the door, knowing full well it was Alistair on the other end. "They won't mind you know." The blonde shifted.. "Are you ready??"

"It'd be rude to just...just waltz in," Alistair replied, swallowing. Also, it would have given him a lot less time to collect himself. "Yes, I'm ready. Are you?" No, he wasn't, and he knew it, even though he'd suggested this. There were so many ways this could go wrong (though there were a number of ways it could go right, as well...)

"The Kent's love you though. I don't think they'd mind with you..." The blonde smiled and nodded. "Mhmm.. Ready to go. Do you.. have any idea where we should start looking??" The blonde sighed thinking. "Maybe we should have asked Avacyn what she did."

"I'd mind," Alistair murmured, and then he exhaled, trying to get his nerves under control. "I did some research and found a few buildings - two-bedroom, close to campus," he said. "A little expensive but it isn't as if my parents can't afford it..."

"It's alright." Lance said as he dropped a hand on Alistair's shoulder before wrapping it around. "We can start with those... then if we need it we can go to a Realtor?" In case things got way over their heads. "I have some money stowed away so we should be able to handle anything."

"Hopefully we can handle renting an apartment without professional help," Alistair said, "though having someone who understands the legalese for any rental contracts certainly can't hurt, I suppose." He took a breath. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"It would help wouldn't it?? We'd be closer to the campus. We wouldn't be coming in at such odd hours or have to tip toe around the house to keep from waking people." Lance murmured. "...Are you sure about this? You look nervous. We don't have to do this if you're having second thoughts Ali."

"There are a lot of good points, which is why I want to do this," Alistair said, and then he smiled faintly. "I am sure, I promise, I just keep worrying about ways this could go wrong - but it will be worth it."

Lance raised a brow. "...Nothing's going to go wrong. We don't have to decide anything today don't forget. We can just look. Now let's go. It's cold." The blonde almost whined.

"Right, sorry," Alistair got out of the way, face heating up. Not a lot was getting accomplished, certainly, by standing around and talking. "I just...really want this to work out, and I don't want you to feel like I'm pushing you into something, or we're moving too fast, or..." Whoops, rambling. "Sorry."

"You worry far to much dear... I'd tell you if I thought things were moving too fast for me. I want it to work out too. We'll figure something out alright?" He said as he walked over to the car. "Am I driving or you."

"Of course I worry," Alistair replied, "you're the best thing that's yet happened to me and I'd very much like to not screw this up." He said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world - which as far as he was concerned, it was. "If you drive, I can read off directions," he said.

"You won't screw it up." Lance shot back. The blonde shrugged, holding out his hand. "Works for me, toss me your keys? What's the first stop."

Getting to the first complex had been remarkably easy, and better, the actual unit for rent was open to visitors. The landlord was in with them, and Alistair could feel her eyes on his back as he took in the paint on the walls, examining for any defects or stains. "Well, this looks promising so far!"
