Easter Break

[littlest_gilbert]

Elena was in Iowa, and while he was on the road and would be in LA as Easter hit, Elena insisted that he come to her.

In Iowa.

So he was on a greyhound back to the land of.... okay, Jeremy wasn't really sure what Iowa was known for, but it had to be known for something.

He arrived Friday in the mid-morning, and texted his sister when he arrived. It was a tiny roadside station, and thankfully it was actually in the sixties so he could sit on his duffel-bag with his sketchpad on his lap and was working on drawing the landscape while he waited.

Jeremy just smiled. "Your couch better be comfortable then if I'm going to be here all summer."

[braveandstupid]

"My couch is awesome. And it pulls out. But I also have a guest room which would probably be a lot more comfortable."

[littlest_gilbert]

"Even better. Almost as if you wanted me to move in with you."

[braveandstupid]

"I wouldn't mind if you did."

[littlest_gilbert]

"Then it's a good thing I am having the rest of my stuff shipped to your place this week," Jeremy rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

[braveandstupid]

She glances back, starting at him for a minute, before grinning and pulling him closer. "Come on. I'll show you where you're sleeping."

Jeremy laughed, letting his sister pull him along. A year apart had made him realize just how much he missed her. They were all they had left, really.

He could go back on the road again in the fall. He needed his sister right now.

She brings him upstairs to the apartment and unlocks the door before pulling them both inside. "It's not the biggest place in the world, but it's big enough. Living room, kitchen, bathroom and the bedrooms."

[littlest_gilbert]

"Are we going to have to share the bathroom?" He raised an eyebrow.

[braveandstupid]

"We've been sharing a bathroom forever -- I think we can manage."

[littlest_gilbert]

"I thought part of the adult lifestyle meant not having to share a bathroom with your sister. You're just going to have to move."

[braveandstupid]

"Or you can just deal with it for a summer. Being a grown up also means having to know when to take your lumps."

[littlest_gilbert]

Jeremy just sighed. "Touche."

[braveandstupid]

"So. Clean up and I will track down dinner?"

[littlest_gilbert]

"Sounds like a plan."

He went to go and find his bedroom, then ducked in and jumped onto the spare bed, nearly breaking it.

[braveandstupid]

She hears the creek and cringe. "Jer!"

[littlest_gilbert]

All she would hear from down the hall was his laughter.

[braveandstupid]

She rolled her eyes before shaking her head. Time to order the pizza.
