    How Green Becomes Wood

    Like I'm attracted to her. I've seen her around at school, and then, one day, just like a week or so ago, I saw her again and... He bit his lip. I feel ashamed objectifying her. I think I might know her name, but I'm not certain. I've never talked to her. I just saw her and thought she was...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec took a long time to compose the message, rewriting it multiple times before finally sending it. I've been having these dreams. Dreams about... a girl?

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec shifted to lean against the wall, considering. You're right, that does make sense. I'm sure he'll be alright after a while, and he does have Mama to help him. It'll be okay. After a pause, he continued, But there's something else bugging me. It's weirder.

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Sorry. It seemed like something she might have "opinons" on. Anyway, firstly, Ivy's teething, which isn't great, but Ba is acting very odd. I don't even know how to describe it, but it's weirding me out. It's like he's lost in thought, but really, really lost in thought. I don't think he...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec debated, tapping his pillow lightly as he agonized over whether or not to actually take Sloan up on her offers to help or advice. Mostly okay. I kind of need to talk something out. I was going to text Becky instead, but then I remembered her parents took her phone for finals week.

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander ended up passing out almost the moment his head hit the pillow. He had a lot on his mind, a lot to think about and figure out, but his body overrode his brain. He was still technically healing and would be for a while, so however busy his mind might want to be, his body wouldn't let him...

    "Okay. I'll bring my homework down here so I can give you a hand if you need anything," Alec promised. "I don't think I can make her mouth not hurt - I wish I could - but I can get you things and hold her if your arms get tired."

    "Night," Alec called after him cheerfully. Xander sat back with a frown, looking after him. Why did he feel like Dark was lying? Yes, it had been a stressful and exhausting day, but it felt like something more. He waited until Dark was gone before standing up. "I have a lot of stuff to get...

    "That seems like a good idea," Alec said slowly. "Ba, are you sure you are okay?"

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Both twins stared at him, unnerved, but glad that he seemed to be doing okay. "Xander thinks College is a waste, and I think it might be good, and we wondered what your experience was on the academic side," Alec summarized meekly. "I didn't say a waste, I said not as needed," Xander protested.

    Now Xander was looking at Dark, worry building. "Hey, you okay?" "Ba?" Alec questioned hesitantly.

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec bit his lip, not liking that thought, and he wasn't sure how he felt about Xander's agreement that he could go by himself, but he felt Xander was trying to push him forward to better things than he felt he could achieve for himself. He shook off the thoughts and glanced at Dark. "What was...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "Isn't your career kind of dependent upon your college knowledge?' Alec asked uncertainly. "I mean yours in specific, not the generic you. I figure a lot of people like, um, maybe plumbers or other tradesmen don't need it? I kind of want to go, but I haven't decided for sure yet. Probably...

    "Good point," Alec sighed. "Teaching is a noble profession, but it's not one I want to pursue. Ever. Too much stress! I don't think I even want to go to college. At least, not right away. I need a break from school stress. I'll try to get a job and volunteer or something to gain life...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    "No drama to speak of. Just lots of tests and fretting," Alec sighed, not wanting to think of school. "One poor girl broke down crying due to her test anxiety, and one of the jocks looked like he wanted to do the same, but, you know, reputation." Xander groaned. "My brain just wants to go...

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Xander felt a little lurch in his stomach at the suggestion but fought valiantly to keep it from showing. This was more important than his own squeamishness. "That's a good idea," Alec agreed. "I think she might like it, too. Hopefully." He nibbled on his pizza happily. He'd made a...

    "It sounds like she had quite the day," Alec said, taking it seriously. "Poor little thing. Oh! Popsicle! Can she have some kind of popsicle to eat and chew on? Then she'll get flavor as well as soothing cool."

    How Green Becomes Wood

    Alec didn't even ask for Ivy that evening, figuring that Dark and Daizi - especially Dark - would want to cuddle their sad, aching little infant. He wouldn't have minded holding her, not at all, but he wasn't going to ask. He knew it was hard enough for Dark to hand her over when she was...

    "Sounds nasty, but if it works, loads of meds aren't any worse," Xander shrugged, turning away. "Come on, let's go pick out food." Alec readily followed him into the kitchen to argue over which takeout to get. It took them a bit to decide, but they finally settled on pizza. It was easy to...

    "I have a hard time imagining you crying like that, but I'm sure you did," Alec said, not following the rest of Dark's thought and more focused on Daizi. "Try not to worry. It'll get better." Xander walked in. "Right. We have a few random leftovers - why do we never have leftovers in this...
