"Yeah no problem." Well it was a problem. "Those things're fast." He added. "You better keep em safe, they might end up in one'a the mouse traps set around here."

He frowned. "I don't like keeping them in a cage.. I have a big one for them to sleep in, but that seems so mean. I don't want them in a mouse trap though.." He pressed a kiss to his rat, stroking her back comfortingly.

"I don't know what I'm going to do with all of them when C and I leave. There are too many to take on a plane, I think."

T carefully held the box containing one not so happy rat at arms length away from himself while waiting for X outside his room. While he did like animals, he was not fond of rats. Frankly, they weirded him out. But he had a point in doing this. C had to listen to his boyfriend fiance thing and be nice right? This could be an easy way to recover the friendship between the two bullies.

X was out of breath by the time he reached T, eager to either find Yersinia or adopt a new rat. He looked up at the other teen with a timid smile, thankful that T would be willing to capture a rat for him. 

Even if it was just to gain C as a friend.

"That's her!" Scooping up the small rodent, he pressed his face against her fur and grinned widely. "Thank you, T!"
