fortunately enough for theo , petty intentions aside , caleb was pliable enough that he could easily shape him into whatever the fraternity needed in the moment . with a little work , he'd suit the role just fine .
" that's . . . refreshing to hear . "
people had taken different stances to caleb's sudden appearance . he much preferred this over a restraining order threat — or being completely ignored . he quickly puts the can down . . .
relieved from the pressure of finishing the drink .
" yeah , i heard about that . that's um . . . something . "
eyes dart around the room , not having much further comment on the other's temporary departure .
taking another sip of his drink , he nods . that was why he had come over , after all .
" no , i didn't get lost in the rain . i decided i want to pledge , if that's alright . "
" they seem nice , i hope they liked me . "
the boy shrugs , always concerned with the opinions of others . theo's ability had certainly made him feel welcome in the house , even if he had only arrived five minutes earlier .
