" you know baby , you could just come in rather than sitting on the side and pretending like you're not in here with me , my parents already love you . a little shower isn't going to ruin that . " noah smirked as he looked back at the blonde . it had been a perfect thanksgiving if you asked him , home with his parents again after just a few weeks , summer fitting in with them like she had always belonged here . this was his idea of perfect . " how are you not warm in that sweater ? "

" you back with us ? " noah hummed , amused as grier stirred from where he had slept soundly the last few hours using noah as his personal cushion . " how your neck doesn't hurt i don't know . "

the drive back felt infinitely longer than the one home had . maybe because he'd left with his shoulders caved in and exhaustion clinging to every inch of him , and now he was returning with a cooler full of leftovers , a note tucked safely into his wallet and the distinct ache that only came from leaving home behind . the hockey house was mercifully quiet when he finally pulled into the driveway sometime after midnight. most of the lights were off , only the faint glow of the television in the living room suggesting someone had forgotten to turn it off before bed . he carried bags inside as quietly as he could, setting his keys down in their usual spot and pausing for just a moment in the kitchen . it smelled different from home . less like coffee and laundry detergent and his mom's perfume lingering in the air . more like takeout containers , protein powder and whatever air freshener one of the boys had recently discovered . familiar in a different way .

his eyes caught on the fridge door.

welcome back , captain. don't be grumpy . summers asleep upstairs g x

shaking his head , noah peeled the note from the fridge and tucked it into his pocket before finally making his way upstair s, taking each step carefully to avoid the one that always creaked outside teddy's room .s hand hesitated on the handle to his bedroom door . guilt free flowing through him for a moment . the room was dark save for the soft glow of the fairy lights summer insisted on keeping strung along the headboard year-round . she was asleep beneath their duvet , curled onto her side , one hand tucked beneath her cheek in a way he'd quietly committed to memory months ago . he might have needed her mom for a while , but the blonde in his best was as much home as any place was these days . for the second time this week , he found himself crawling between the sheets into waiting arms .

the library was quiet , just how he liked it , so quiet in fact it was like he could feel layla stewing over her paper as she looked at it . " what's wrong , i can probably give you the answer if you stop being stubborn and sulking . i had to make us leave the house or roe was ever going to let you study . "

" hey man . " noah beamed , the usual smile on his face as he knocked shoulders with his locker buddy . " you got the group chat muted or you sleeping with someone new , i feel like you've been missing all week . "
