"Okay, that's fair... I will need some meat. I'm not sure if the spam will work. I need to have a lot of animal protien in my diet." I explain. "Aside from that I can't really think of anything. Maybe some coffee..."

"K, coffee," he said, adding it to the list. He put down meat on the list as well. Bacon and ham and pork were not hard to come by, nor was chicken. Steak and beef had been on the decline, so that would be a bit harder. He added a few things to the list then put the pencil back on the counter/table.
"Ok, just make yourself comfortable," he said, sitting down in the recliner chair. He honestly didn't know what to do now that he had a roommate... normally he spent his days in nothing but his boxers and that undershirt, hacking away on his computer or wasting his time playing computer games. Now he had to help the revolution in a bigger way than he had ever had to before.

"Okay, thank you." I say and sit down on the couch. I take off my shoes and lay back. "This is a nice couch. Thanks again for your help."

"No problem, Zero. After all, what are friends for," he said, pulling up his laptop and opening it on his lap. Lately he had begun reading his journal--it helped him regain his memories to an extent. He had gotten up to a point where he was a paranoid dillusional wreck and Valodya, Zero, and Mischa let him stay with them... there was an incident where he dropped a gun and shot a hole through a window, and knocked a door off it's hinges, and broke a chair... he still never paid them back for all that stuff he broke. He owed them money and he was hoping the short term memory loss had taken away that little tidbit of information.
Finally, he stopped reading his journal and looked up with a sad sigh.
"I still... can't believe he's gone," he said, as if saying it was going to make him come back to life.

"I know... I... I wasn't there. I should've been but I wasn't. I was too slow..." I close my eyes and wimper slightly. "I should've been able to get there in time..."

Freak Boy closed his laptop, already feeling tears in his eyes. He got up and went to the couch next to Zero.
"Need a shoulder," he asked, a few tears streaming down his cheek. Bassarov was the closest thing he had had to a father for the longest time. He was more than a comrade... he was a father, a brother, a friend when you needed one... Bassarov was everything to a lot of people. He couldn't be gone... he couldn't be...
And then the waterworks started.

I shake my head slightly and bury my face in my hands. "He was my life... He gave me a purpose, a reason to live... And he's gone..." I can't help but cry openly now. The fact that Freak Boy is also crying makes it easier.

"He was like a father to me," he gets out between sobs. "Closest thing to family I ever had..."
Out of sheer instinct, he hugged Zero and started crying into her shoulder. Seeing her cry was somethin he'd never seen before. And that made him more emotional than he already was.

I don't hug him back, but I've never been very huggy with anyone except Bassarov. I don't make any move to push him away though, since even if I don't want to be held he might... "I would have gladly died to protect him... He was such a good person, and everyone loved him... I'd do anything to have him back..."

Freak Boy can't even verbalize at the moment, but after a few minutes of crying, he manages to regain his composure and get off of Zero. He still sniffles occasionally, but now he's at least sitting up.
"Bassarov was the ideal... the vision of humanity that everyone should try to live up to...," he said. There was a bit of an awkward pause.
"Sorry for that... I just... I never got the chance to mourn when I found out he was--and... yeah..." Another awkward pause.
"Hey... Zero? ... this kind of goes without saying but... knowledge of that moment never leaves the shack, right?"

I nod. "I'd rather you not spread it around that I'm a weak person either. I'm just... I'm having a very hard time coping with all this."

"Likewise," Freak Boy said. He was in another dimension when Valodya died, and he had only hotten back a day or two ago. News of Valodya's death was not what he was expecting to hear upon his return.
There was more silence for a minute or so.
"Wanna watch a movie," he asked, fidgeting on the couch.

"Sure, why not? Something upbeat though... And I hate 'chick flicks...'"

"Likewise," Freak Boy said, standing up. He looked through his movies. Enemy at the Gates is among his favorites, but it's kind of depressing. He looks through the DVDs some more then turns back to Zero.
"A comedy alright with you," he asked.

"It depends on what it is. I've never cared for sexual humor. But other than that comedy is fine."
