While Nelson had enjoyed traveling, had enjoyed it immensely, he had missed Destiny City more than he could say. He had missed his friends and his routine and now that he was home...a little while earlier than expected, but...that wasn’t important. He couldn’t wait to visit Jace and Xander, and the day after he arrived, he made his way to their house, backpack full of small treasures for the brothers.

Well, it was mostly gifts for Xander, but there were a few things that Q had picked out for Jace and she had sent with Nelson so that she didn’t have to worry about them getting damaged while she was still overseas.

Japan had been so beautiful, and the culture had been so very unique...but he had missed all of this. His friends. His home. If Nelson was ever able to go back, he would have to insist that Xander came too. At the very least Xander, and he knew that Q would be happier if Jace were there. But.

That didn’t matter right now. What mattered was the fact that he was back and his friends were just inside.

He knocked on the door and shifted from foot to foot, suddenly worried that perhaps they wouldn’t recognize him...or wouldn’t want him here, but quickly squashed those feelings down, raising his gaze from the ground to the door, feeling suddenly determined.

...Though what he would do if they weren’t home, he hadn’t really thought of.

It was all he could do not to charge over to the door; the knowing Nelson was back in town wasn’t really anything compared to getting to SEE Nelson again, especially not after his own impromptu trip to ‘the farm.’

The trouble was, of course, one had to be polite when opening doors, and that meant quiet.
He took just enough time to peer out around the curtains to confirm who was at the door before making the most hurried way to the door that he could.

“Nelson!” If a whisper could have been a shout, that would have been Xander at that moment.
“Welcome BACK, how was it! Come on, come in! It’d be rude to leave you on the steps, right?”
Before there was any chance to reply, there was, of course, a hug, because that was just how Xander operated with some people.

“I had to go to the Farm! I brought you hay!” He added gleefully.

Jace was desperate for any face out of the ordinary; it had been so long since he’d seen any of them in person that all of his friend’s faces were slowly being worn away and replaced with text. Or he was just losing his mind--he wasn’t sure.

Xander was in the house, pacing like an overeager dog, and Jace wasn’t about to be abandoned--no matter how close Nelson and his brother were.

He hadn’t known Nelson was coming over, but when he saw his brother peer out the window and then rush outside, he knew.

And he wanted in. Or, rather, out--of the house. He had been in the kitchen, quietly getting a drink, when Xander escaped. He liked to think his brother wasn’t very good at keeping secrets--at least, not from him, and Jace was certain he would have known if Xander was waiting for the mailman because he wasn’t supposed to come for another hour so there wasn’t any reason to rush out now.

So it had to be something else. Someone else.

Nelson.

He crossed the house to join them on the doorstep and was going to whisper a quiet greeting when he paused, realizing there were cars missing from the driveway.

“--Mom left?” he blurted, leaning out of the door away from their hug to look for her car. Her vanished car. Her disappeared car. That she always took. That was now gone. Which meant she shouldn't be here.

He looked back into the house, as if he expected her to appear, but when she didn’t, he said, “I’ve been quiet for hours, when did she leave? --No, yeah, come in. I should have known it was you, Nelson. Xander doesn’t get that excited about anyone else. How was your trip? He’s really excited about the hay. It’s nice to see you, welcome back.”

He wasn’t as openly excitable as his brother, but then, he never had been. He internalized everything he could, but there was a bit of brightness to his eyes and his expression was a little less bitchy than usual but it was impossible to tell if it was a natural side effect of actually being happy, or if it was because he had to make a conscious effort not to accidentally scare Nelson.

Nelson’s eyes lit up when Xander opened the door, and when he was hugged, the male couldn’t help but hug back, squeezing just a little more tightly when Xander mentioned The Farm. He hated when his friends were sent there. They were always so quiet and so strange when they got home, it made Nelson feel a bit queasy, and always put Q in a bad temper.

He really didn’t like his sister when she was in a bad temper.

Well, that wasn’t true. He always liked his sister, but she could be mildly...extremely terrifying when she was in a bad temper.

Regardless, he was home. He was hugging his best friend, and even Jace seemed happy to see him. “I came back early, Q had some other things to do back in Japan but...I really missed you all.”

His shoulders sagged in relief when Jace mentioned that their mom wasn’t here. That...would make things much better. “Well...if she’s not here…” Nelson drew away from Xander with a slight sigh, but took his hand and held it firmly, not wanting him to be able to drift too far away.

“Can we go hang out? I have presents! And...and Xander brought me hay! You really are the greatest friend in the world.” And so much more but. That was. Neither here nor there.

Xander peered out of the door to confirm the missing car, and the delight on his face increased.
“We missed you too, like all of you. Holden is still gone too, but his Brother is touring or something. Did he threaten you with wrestling gear too? Cause he totally did us.”

He gave a small laugh and then stepped aside.

“Sorry, Jace, if I’d realized she was gone, I’d have said something too, man, she’s getting -sneaky- we’re gonna have to be on our toes.” He said, marveling with a small frown.

“Come on, if we hear the car come back, we can shuttle you out of here before she gets too grumpy about guests interrupting study time.”

"My window's big enough. If she comes home, he can just jump out. The bush out there's big enough and soft enough that even he won't get hurt." Q would kill him if he did. She might give him a hard time if he'd told her he'd had to shove her little brother out of a window anyway, but.

It's not like he'd ever gotten hurt doing it.

The less his mother knew about what friends were around, the better--even if Nelson was generally a good influence.

...He was more afraid of his mother getting to Nelson than the bush outside of his window, anyway. And Xander could always sneak out to catch him and help him out.

"Come on, I'll get drinks. Tell us everything," he insisted, which sort of sounded like a demand, but he meant well and slipped back into the house, bee-lining to the refrigerator to pull out their favorite drinks.

Jumping out of the window? Oh...his sister wouldn’t want to hear about that ever, and the sheepish, nervous smile that Nelson wore was enough to show his discomfort. “...Hopefully she won’t be back any time soon...but um. If she does...honestly, I don’t see why you two just don’t come and live with us. It would be a tight fight, but if you wouldn’t mind sharing a room...or...or I can share a room with my...ah.”

No, that wouldn’t work. Q would be utterly put out with him on so many different levels. “...It’s a three bedroom place, if you didn’t want to share a room, we could set up the living room for you! The couch is comfortable, Xander, you always fall asleep on it anyway!”

At least then it would get these two away from their mother and they both wouldn’t have to have fears of being sent to “The Farm” again...The very idea of the place always seemed so...awful. And it was always capitalized in Nelson’s mind.

Following the brothers in, Nelson wore a shy smile again. “It was very different than here. I liked it a lot, and I’d really like to go back. The food was wonderful, and there were so many things that I didn’t really get a chance to see...but it would have been better with my friends there. Obviously.” His eyes lit up at the thought of going back to Japan one day, possibly with Xander. “...There’s a lot I’d like to show you. Ah. You two.”

“Don’t worry, if we have to send you out a window, I’ll go first and catch you.” Grinned Xander.

He did listen intently to the idea of moving in with them, glancing briefly at Jace and then back out towards the driveway like he expected some part of this to be a trap.

“If they threaten us with Farm again, I think we’ll promise to keep that in mind, Eh Jace? I can always bunk down with Nelson and…yeah, we can figure it out.” He nodded.

“God it’s good to have you back! I’m glad you liked it but…man.”

Jace was calculating, considering Nelson's offer deeply. There was some sort of reassurance there, that Nelson was volunteering like that. That he was so willing to embrace Xander, that he was so worried about him.

Jace almost felt some of the pressure leave his shoulders and he nodded.

If it came down to it, he didn't care if he had to sleep in the same room as his brother. But.

There were complications that came with him leaving, things he couldn't quite risk.

But, the exam was in a few months.

The exam he wasn't ready for, he reminded himself, but still.

He squinted a bit at Nelson when he clarified you two, like he didn't already know that Xander was his favorite. Nelson was like a puppy, trailing after him and fawning over him. Everyone saw it. It might have been cute, if he wasn't worried that it would go to Xander's head.

Still, this was all good news, and he breathed deeply, just relaxing as the universe gave him a sliver of hope and good fortune. He placed two cans of soda out for them, already opening one for himself. He nodded appreciatively at the offer and added, "What was your favorite thing while you were there? Q was texting me about everything."

Nelson nodded eagerly. “Of course you can bunk down with me! You can have my bed if you come stay, I don’t mind sleeping on the floor. I could just make myself comfortable on one of my bean bags anyway. It would be like a never ending sleep over!” The male was smiling, beaming actually, his silver eyes lighting up with the very thought of having a never ending sleep over with his very best friend in the world. And the fact that even Jace seemed like he was seriously considering the offer made Nelson feel quite pleased for making it.

He hoped that Q wouldn’t be too put out by him offering their home...but...it was Xander and Jace. There was no way she could be put out by them. Seriously. She would welcome them if they moved in, he knew that.

“Look, you don’t have to wait to move out if there’s another “The Farm” incident...I can talk to Q as soon as she gets back...you two can just...just leave and...you know…”

He hesitated and swallowed, looking suddenly very self conscious. “...Live happily ever after? With us?”

“W… We were talking about maybe finding a place we can all pitch in and rent.”

Xander said with a quirk of a smile. “Especially if the Farm comes up again.” He shrugged like it was nothing, but he tended to do that regardless of who he spoke to and couldn’t quite seem to shake that habit.

“Jace, had a fair point that Mom probably wouldn’t let him move out till after he passes his exam, but we could have a room ready for him, and it could even be a good place to study.” He added hopefully.

“We could, like…text Q and ask her? I know she won’t be back for a bit I think you said but uh… like you and I could look and…” He gave a helpless shrug.
“Still kinda like a big sleepover right?” He offered with a hopeful grin.

“Cause I think we could absolutely use some happy endings.”



He smiled at Nelson with that softer sort of look he got sometimes.

Jace squinted again, because they might as well have been in their own little world. Nelson was focused on Xander, and Xander was looking at Nelson in a way that made Jace suspicious, but he couldn't even put a finger on why.

On one hand, he was relieved that Xander was taking this seriously, and that Nelson was working so hard to find a plan that would work.

...On the other hand, a sudden, slick sense of dread had flushed through him, at the idea of Xander actually being gone. He knew that leaving was the best for him, but a selfish part of him didn't want to be separated from Xander. He lowered his gaze and focused on his drink, and then on making a sandwich, because even if he wasn't hungry it was still a good distraction.

Xander was talking about having a room reserved, and of course Jace would chip in and pay rent and cover whatever costs he needed to--he wasn't some mooch, he couldn't let himself be indebted to anyone.

But then, there was the sudden, alarming thought of being away from home, that made his whole body suddenly run cold. He clenched and unclenched his hands to try and return the warmth to his fingers as he made the most unimpressive, boring sandwich of his life.

...But Xander would be safe. Living 'happily ever after' with Nelson, which made him squint at his sandwich because what was that supposed to mean.

Nelson hesitated and smiled warmly at Xander once again, nodding. “I mean...yeah! We can text Q...or just wait for her to come back, it shouldn’t be too much longer now...She said at most two weeks or so behind me…” He bit his lip for a moment and had to look away from Xander, his heart doing some uncomfortable pitters in his chest.

“What...ah. What kind of a sandwich are you making there, Jace? You...did it offend you?” He suddenly wanted to change the subject. Wanted to talk about something else. Anything else. Xander’s smile was making him melt in a way he hadn’t since he had been gone to Japan, and now he really realized that he was melting because of Xander’s smile.

Oh boy.

“Do you need me to do anything? Or get anything? Ah...So long as your mother hasn’t changed the kitchen too much, I’m sure that I can still help!” He never knew though. Their mother was a little unbalanced at times and liked things her own way.

Xander rubbed his arms and glanced anxiously at Jace for a moment; the idea of leaving him behind was still the worst. He had an awful feeling that if he didn’t leave at the same time, it might be hard to get him out… might.

They’d figure it out.

“Well, Happily ever after involves Jace being out of reach of farm trips too, so I’m pretty sure Q would be ok with that. On the plus side, I didn’t make the sandwich, so it’s probably not offensive? Probably? Unless the lunch meat has gone off but, I always assume in this house it’d be too scared to do that.” He chuckled.


“Uh… I was going to make a little Raman, or we could all go out and get some? Unless you’re tired of Ramen?” Xander found himself rambling, perhaps more than normal. God, he’d missed Nelson.

Jace glanced up at Nelson. "It's just a sandwich, I don't need--why, does something look wrong with it?" he picked it up as if to analyze it, huffing, because the sandwich was perfectly boring and just fine that way.

He tried not to think about how badly he wanted everyone to come back, now more so than ever. Nelson was a friend, but he was Xander's best friend, and that meant that Jace was going to be on the backburner while Xander fixated on Nelson like a shiny new toy, trying to make up for lost time.

It was stupid to be jealous. He knew it. He wanted his brother to be happy. He was just already miserable at the prospect of being forgotten.

Xander had never abandoned him. Why would he start now?

A part of him wanted to say that he could eat his shitty sandwich and they could go grab some ramen, but he found himself very much not wanting to be home alone right now.

"....To be honest, I could go for ramen," he said, eying his sandwich with indifference. "--Do you two want to exchange your gifts and we could go out and grab a bite? I've got a project due in a few days, I'm probably going to do an all-nighter to get it over with. I'd rather have a warm meal and pick up a bunch of coffees on the way back. And we won't have to throw you out of the window if mom comes back, Nelson."
