[By the time Vincent announced his arrival with half a dozen thunderous kicks against the door, Kit had long since prepared dinner and eaten by himself. The leftover primavera pasta with rose sauce was stored in the fridge, the dishes were all washed and put away, and he had curled up on the couch with a book to read by the sound of the storm.
He'd considered briefly that, somewhere out there, perhaps even where he'd last seen him, Vincent was getting rained on and maybe even blown around, but it wasn't any of his concern. He'd done literally all he could short of forcing the boy to come home with him, an act he couldn't abide by as surely as he knew Vincent would have disdained.
When the banging did not stop, however, Kit marked his page and set down his book before proceeding warily to his door. He expected to find one of the usual unsavory types who sometimes found out where he lived or followed him home, but standing just outside in the hallway was the last person he thought would ever show up.]
Vincent?
[He concluded at once that the storm must have been too much for even him and, stepping back and to the side, he held open the door for the other boy to come into his dorm.]
Come in and stay there. I'll get...a couple of towels.
[One for the other teen himself, and one for his belongings.]
