The Apartment, New York, Friday

It was about time for Flick to return to Idris.

In fact, he was expected at a portal at the Institute in a matter of a couple of hours. Isabelle wasn't feeling very pleased with it, no matter how proud she was of everything he was doing at the Academy. She'd gotten all too used to him being at home over the break. Their bed was going to feel lonely and empty once he was gone again.

But it was morning, and she was out of bed all the same. Padding barefoot around the kitchen in a silk robe, she was making breakfast. Coffee, eggs and bacon, some pancakes with an interesting take on seasoning them. Flick was about to go back to Academy food, and Isabelle would be damned if she let him go without one last proper breakfast at home.

Flick nodded before he said, "We can just sit and talk, if you'd like. Or just sit. Do other stuff later if it's still too much."

"I'm listening," Flick assured her, "but I also don't want you to keep things to yourself that you need to say. That's all. That's all I'm checking for."

"I trust you," he said, sighing. "I was just -- "

He shook his head.

"Never mind."

Flick sighed and looked down, cheeks burning with shame.

"All right."

Flick rubbed his face and took a breath. He wasn't quite ready to declare this day a wash but he was tired. So, he walked over to the couch and sat down heavily.

"I'm ready," he said with a tired shrug. "I'll get dressed in a little bit. I just want to sit here for now."
flickofthewrist: (some kind of monster)

For some reason, that statement set him on edge slightly. He stood up.

"Fine, I'll get out of here," he told her, moving to the bedroom.

Flick didn't answer. He disappeared into the bedroom, taking time to slide his jeans and a clean shirt on. His packed bag was on the floor so he picked it up, hefted it over one shoulder before coming back out into the living room.

"Guess I'm ready," he said, looking over at her and then at the door. He could see the wetness in her eyes, the promise of tears unshed but he wasn't sure what to do about them.

This sucked. He bit the inside of his cheek to stop from getting angry. Instead, he walked over to her and kissed the top of her head, taking time to press his cheek against her hair.

"I'll see you soon." He stood up and headed towards the door.

Just before he stepped out the door, he looked back and said, "I'll write you. Behave while I'm gone."

He slipped out after those words were said and shut the door quietly.
