"Alright." Probably he should not wear the same shirt he was wearing yesterday. 

Ben strips off his shirt and says, "can I borrow some of your clothes? I think we're the same size."

Ben is extremely well-built and Kaleva is jealous and can't stop staring.

He really is. Chen hands him a shirt. 

For some reason, Kaleva feels weirdly eager to watch Chen change.

He's not so quick about it when he's in Actually Private. 

Jealous! That's the emotion he is currently experiencing. Jealousy and admiration and a completely platonic appreciation of the beauty of the male form.

The way Chen's shoulder muscles move is fascinating.

Ben is slightly more aware that the thing he is experiencing is not at all jealousy or admiration or indeed platonic, but he has spent too much time cuddling Chen recently to care.

He is totally unaware of the way they're looking at him! 

"All right," Ben says, slightly disappointed when Chen gets his shirt on, "time to see what Asher's made for breakfast."

He's not actually sure where Asher's rooms are, but he follows Ben, walks next to Kaleva. 

"Hey! Ben!" Asher says. "How did you know I was making breakfast?"

"Lucky guess."

"I have James son of Milo over so it'll be a little tight."

"Somehow I'm skeptical."

"I can stand up if there aren't enough chairs. Hi, James." 

James, a thin and gangly boy with glasses who's in all honors classes with Kaleva and Asher, waves. 

Nobody ever invites Kaleva to spend the night and... study? Probably they were studying?

"I went with a simple breakfast today," Asher says, "because I wasn't expecting three additional people. Cajun hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, toast, and beignets." 

"Not sure simple is the word I'd use. — it looks great, thank you." 

It was sort of unclear to Kaleva whether he was going to eat his feelings or be too upset to eat, and then he saw the hashbrowns cooked with bell peppers and onions and sausage and it became very obvious that the answer was the first. 

He starts shoveling food into his mouth.

Asher kisses James affectionately on the top of the head and says, "Eat, you're too thin."

James laughs. He's much more relaxed than he is in class. "You always say that."

"It's always true!"

That's..... strange but sweet. He eats. The food is very, very good. 

Asher and James talk about class. They're both oddly smiley, and they keep touching each other. 

This is pretty normal for Asher!

Ben barely touches his food, but it's comforting to experience the normality.
