“Oh, please. You’re hardly the worst. Not by a long shot.” Brooks shakes his head, nose scrunching slightly at Vera’s words. “Ha. Keep laying on the compliments and I might. Kidding, I’m kidding! You have nothing to be sorry about, so there’s nothing to be forgiven. My day was alright though. My immunology class is pretty interesting. I know it’s super nerdy or whatever, but you know I’ve always been pretty into science.” Veterinary school was no joke. Brooks was a smart guy and had always gotten good grades, but he definitely found himself working and studying harder the further he went into his education. He knew it’d all be worth it in the end though. “Oh, you know. Just a little of this, a little of that. I went to the grocery store after class. Don’t tell Matty, but I bought us an extra package of Oreos. They’re hiding in the top drawer of our dresser.” Brooks chuckles, shaking his head. “So you know, just another day in the Goldstein-Fiske-Oliver household.”
Their life was a hectic mess full of fun and laughter, and Vera wouldn’t have it any other way. Some asked her how he managed it, living in an apartment with three guys, but the thing about Brooks, Matty and Milo is that they weren’t just some three guys but hers in a way she’ couldn’t quite explain it. Brooks and Milo had been her closest friends for as long as she could remember, and that hadn’t changed even as she stepped into a relationship with Brooks and Milo’s transition. And Matty, well, to love Brooks meant to love Matty too. They shared a soul. One didn’t exist without the other. They were all so different and yet they made it work so perfectly, their living arrangements, their friendship. “I love it when you get all into science. It is nerdy, but you somehow manage to make it sound hot, too.” Vera half joked because she did mean it. After all, Brooklyn Goldstein was, in fact, very hot. And so thoughtful. And perfect. “So what I’m hearing is, we have dessert waiting for us at home?” As fancy as the restaurant was, which she truly did appreciate, Vera had absolutely no issue with sharing a tray of Oreos back home if that’s what the night called out for them. “We know it’s only a matter of time before Matty finds it.” There was really not much that could stand between a Goldstein and a good snack, that was basic Goldstein 101. “But for now, we get to relax and enjoy a nice dinner. Do you have any recommendations?”
