Jonah had been ecstatic with the phone call this morning and was more than that with the van ride on the way over here. Tobias had patiently weaved through traffic at a somewhat sedate pace, while he was in the back seat chanting 'c'mon' at a whisper. Now, though, they were finally pulling up to the gate. Tobi was giving him a few last pointers before he got out of the van.
"Now, don't bother him with stuff like 'Where have you been' and shit. You know he can't tell you most of it, and
do not make him repeat himself. Don't eat too many sweets, and if you slip, you have your phone in your pocket."
The driver punctuated each point with a wave of his finger, like an overprotective parent.
"And if you're going to do
that in the snow, at least cover your willy."
Now Jonah was six shades of red beyond the cold. "Oh my
god Tobias! No! I wasn't planning on... Jesus, do you have to say shit like that just as I'm getting out!?" He playfully slapped at the finger. "Get out of here. Go back and talk to Rayzer or whatever you were doing before you drove me here. You're going to embarrass me!"
He grimaced a bit, especially at Tobias' laughter, slipping out of the van once it pulled in.
"And above all!" Tobias called as he was about to close the door. "Don't do anything I would do!"
Jonah groaned. "Oh shut
up already!" then shut the door in the other Lucain's face, turning around to finally face Jadyr. He lasted all of a minute, waving shyly at him, before he took off at a sprint, and threw his arms around the other man. "Looking hot, handsome. Especially considering it's freezing."
