Basement pool, Thursday evening

Walter led Alphonse down to the basement, his arms laden with some things you likely wouldn't expect in this weather, including blankets, ice skates, his electric kettle, and what appear to be the makings for hot cocoa with marshmallows.

He dropped most of those things off to the side of the pool and looked expectantly at his roommate.

"Come on. I want to see you turn all of that to ice."

[ooc: Pool party! The pool has been frozen solid, the room should be not just cool, but downright chilly. Enjoy the relief from the heat with a few goosebumps. Open to all. Anyone who wants their character to have an excuse to be down here can handwave a phone call from Walter. It's possible he randomly grabbed the school directory and dialed.]

"You should be the one that does that," Cally said, simply.

Anders sighed. "I know. I will. When did I become such a jerk?"

"Jerk?" Cally raised an eyebrow.

"I cheated on him," Anders said. "And I didn't exactly tell Demyx about Conner, either. I just liked the attention, so I didn't stop him, and . . . that totally makes me an asshole."

"Whoa," Cally said, taking a step back. "Erm, okay, I think you'll agree with me that this is the sort of thing I should be lightyears away from, you know?"

"Probably, yeah," admitted Anders, smiling crookedly. "Just worried I'm turning into something I hate, 's all. But I totally get if you don't wanna be hearing about it."

"I'm already sorta involved, and I'm tryin' to untangle myself, you know?" Cally said. "I just don't want to complicate stuff for you."

"Coach," Anders said, the old nickname slipping out before he could stop himself, "it's already complicated enough. But I got myself into it, and I'll get myself out of it somehow. Just as long as you're not gonna stop being my friend because I'm being an idiot, y'know?"

"Hey, I totally didn't say that," Cally said. "I'm still your friend. And I wanna stay that way, which is why I'm trying not to meddle?"

"Thanks," Anders said, smiling at her. "I really appreciate that, you know."

"But yeah, talk to Conner," Cally said. "It's probably a really good idea."

Anders nodded, and if he realized that she knew more than she was letting on he didn't say anything. "I will. Promise."

"Good," Cally said. She pointed a thumb towards the stairs. "I'm gonna head up to my room, actually. You have fun, okay?"

"Do my best." Anders reached over and attempted to give her a one-armed hug. "Have a good night, little whippersnapper."
