Unfortunately, Brian did not take Elliot’s as he waited up until almost three in the morning before going to bed. The only reason Brian finally went to sleep was because he had to catch a few hours before going into class the coming morning. Brian only hoped that Elliot would show up since he also registered.
Unfortunately, Brian was unable to locate Elliot before, during or even after the class ended. When he got back to their apartment around lunch and looked into Elliot’s room, Brian could tell nobody had been there. While the bed was unmade, which was not normal for Elliot, everything else was exactly as it had been when Brian had looked in before heading to class that morning.
Around the middle of the afternoon, Elliot finally stumbled home, but he was not dressed in the same clothes in which he had left. Instead, he now wore a pair of jeans that displayed his strong legs and bubble butt, a black t-shirt that was so tight, Brian wondered how Elliot had gotten it on, and sunglasses. His hair was messy and he his stubble was coming in to where he would only need a few days before he had a thick beard. The only thing Brian recognized was the flip-flop Elliot was wearing.
At first, Brian was not sure what to say. After Elliot walked in the door and said a quick “Hey bro”, he went to his room and closed the door. Coming out with his keys, Elliot said a few words of farewell and was gone again.
When Elliot returned this time though, he was carrying bags from different clothing stores. This time though, when Elliot went in his room, he did not close the door. Gathering up his courage, Brian walked over to look in.
