@nathanielbarnes

Kurt didn’t think he could handle processing and feeling everything that was going on so he kept himself busy taking care of everyone else. Despite looking absolutely exhausted, he didn’t stop moving around the hospital waiting room. “You okay?” He knew it was a stupid question all things considered. “Or as okay as you can be at least?” His voice was soft as he finally made his way over to where Nat was. He didn’t expect much of an answer, knowing he wasn’t the most expressive either. Still, like the rest of the Barnes, Kurt thought of him as family and wanted to check in with him.

There was a part of Nathaniel Barnes that felt odd being there- but there was another part that knew he’d feel equally as odd if he wasn’t there. For most his life, all of it really, Steven Rogers had been like a parent to him. Actually, legalities aside- he was Nathaniel’s parent. So of course he was there, anxiously waiting to hear from the doctors. He’d tried his best to keep a low profile, staying out of everyone’s way. And it’d worked- until Kurt had approached them. They’d never been close, and then with the whole Allison thing they’d grown even further apart. Still- it felt comforting to hear the familiar voice. “I’m fine,” he croaked as he lifted his head, biting down on his lip as he studied Kurt. “You?” The other had always been hard to read- and now was no exception- Kurt seemed fine, but if he had to guess he’d say he wasn’t. After all- how could anyone be fine in this situation?

“I am so tired!” the older of the two males whined as he flopped down on the bed, a sigh escaping his lips as he turned his head to the side in order to look at his friend. “Who knew graduation could be so exhausting? There’s a ridiculous amount of paperwork, and on top of that i’ve had interview after interview for jobs that I’m not even sure I’ll get- because I still don’t know if I passed the bar exam!” he continued to rant working himself up to a nearly hysterical state at this point. He needed a break, a distraction and hopefully Nathaniel would be able to provide one. “It’s been months! How long does it take to grade a stupid test? Maybe I failed and that’s why it’s taking so long!” he continued, having crossed the point of no return.

romy.:

“hey, bub-” with brown locks tied back into a mess on top of her head and a single smear of grease across her left cheek ( that she tried wipe away with the back of her hand, but only seemed to make worse ), romy looked up from the mess of parts she had been pooled over for what felt like hours, fixing her gaze on the other. going by her expression, it would have been easy assume that it were the first time that she was noticing them - but in reality, she’d been aware of their presence for far longer than she was letting on. considering that she tended to set up with her tools and her bike in the middle of the quad - a hub of activity on any given day - she’d quickly gotten used to passersby and their wandering gazes… and unless they were important, or she needed something, she tended not to pay them much mind. this was a case of the latter. “how ‘bout you make yourself useful-” she inclined her head towards the toolbox that lay just outside of her own reach, so there’d be no confusion when she continued, “- and hand me a 12 point wrench outta that?”

Caught off guard by the use of the word bub- Nat lifted his head from the newspaper he was reading, his eyes narrowing as they landed on the older woman. While her word choice was incredibly off-putting, he bit his tongue as he waited to hear the rest of what she had to say before responding. His annoyance only grew upon hearing her suggestion that he make himself useful. He wasn’t there to wait on her hand and foot- and the idea that she might think that angered him. Yet- he was a passive being and not wanting to start a fight he reached for the wrench. “Here you go ma’am,” he spoke, the sarcasm hanging off of his words as he extended the wrench
