A/N: A bit of a filler because to post both halves would have probably been too long, so yeah here's the before the meal and the next one will be during.

Avi and I are sitting on the sofa, I'm cuddled into his side and completely cried out by now. He still has his arms wrapped around me, and mine are around him. I'm not going anywhere and neither is he. Until.
     Avi shifts slightly in his seat after about an hour of us just sitting there, I'd thought he'd gone to sleep, although even if he had he could have just woken up I mean it was almost two in the morning.
When Kevin had come home he'd just walked past us, he didn't say anything, did a bit of a double take but stayed silent. I'd kept my eyes locked with his until he left, we'd probably be asked about it later.
     Avi turns down to look at me and it is definitely clear that he's been asleep, I could just see it on him. I offer him a small smile then lean up to peck him on the cheek. "Hey," I say quietly.
      "Hey... you hungry?"
       My smile gets bigger, him asking me if I was hungry was pretty much just code for him saying he was hungry. "Are you?" I raise an eyebrow, asking even though I know the answer.
      He nods, breaking into a smile himself.
      "Then let's make something," I say without moving, because I still didn't want to get up.
      "Nah I'm too lazy for that right now, let's just go down the road," he stands up, effortlessly pulling me with him.
      "Avi. What's even open at two am?"
      "McDonalds, it's right on the corner," he points over his shoulder.
      "Oh I haven't had McDonalds in so long!" I cheer latching onto his arm. "Oh," I stop pulling a frown onto my face.
      "What?"
       "I still don't have anything else to wear," I look down at myself, I had changed out of that top and skirt from earlier, and was now lounging in one of Avi's t-shirts.
       "You can put on one of my coats?" he suggests with a shrug.
       "No it's way too hot."
      "You know if you put on heels, people at this time of night would think it was the look you were going for?"
     "No I'm not going for the walk of shame look."
     "No, no, I meant the short dresses, cause I've seen girls basically wearing just t-shirts, like long ones but not even as long as the one you're wearing."
     "That's true, but I'm not going out in this," I shake my head, sighing.
Avi looks around the room, sighing too, he had some good ideas but I wasn't really feeling them at the moment.
      "Kirstie."
      "Yeah?" I turn back to look at him.
      "We're really stupid," he smirks at me.
      I raise an eyebrow, "Why?"
      "Cause several months ago you left a bag here..."
      I gasp, cutting him off and covering my mouth. Then I drop my hands to reveal a big grin, "With half my clothes that Jeremy didn't like me wearing!"
      "The other half went to Scott and Mitch's, and we've still got it. Up in the towel closet," he nods, grinning excitedly and walking towards the said closet.
      He opens the door, and I squeal jumping up and down behind him, I'd missed these clothes, and yet I had honestly forgotten them. It was a lot of my patterned tights, and low cut tops, a couple of mini-skirts, basically just a whole lot of things that Jeremy thought were inappropriate. He told me to throw them away, but I really didn't want to part with any of them, having the intention of slowly re-introducing everything. That just never happened though, and it's actually pretty lucky now I have an almost full wardrobe here at Avi's, minus the underwear.
      Avi passes me the duffel bag down from the top shelf where I would have never been able to reach it.
      I drop with it to my knees excitedly and open the bag, pulling out items of clothing, my smile only bigger with each thing that I pull out. To one side I put my skull print leggings and black tank top with two large gold crosses on it, everything else I put back in the bag.
       While I go into the bathroom to change and wash-up, Avi takes my bag into his room. I walk into his room, towelling my hair and see him putting my things away, like he'd cleared out a draw for me and was hanging a dress of mine up in the wardrobe.
       "You didn't have to do that," I tell him with a small smile.
        He just shrugs and shuts the wardrobe door. "So you ready to go?"
       I nod, "Yeah, just gonna pick some shoes." I look over at the bag I'd brought with me, that had been full of shoes and Olaf's things. It's was empty and Olaf's things were in the corner of the room neatly stacked up, that wouldn't last long.
     "I put them in here," he tells me, opening up the wardrobe again. And sure enough there they are, all the pairs I'd bought with me lined up alongside his. My many and his few, it'd make you think I was the one who'd lived here longer.
      I step up next to him as he shyly smiles at me, I stretch up to peck him on the cheek before leaning into the closet to pick out my pair of combat boots.
      As I move he darts across the room and opens his bedside draw, I hear it open and shut and assume he's got something out of it, maybe his wallet? Turning around he is back behind me holding out a dragon pendant necklace, my dragon pendant necklace that I had thrown at him back on the beach.
      My hands shoot up to my mouth as tears sting at my eyes and everything bad that had happened just came rushing back, but I loved that necklace.
I fall into Avi's arms and he pulls me into a tight embrace.

A/N: Hopefully I might be able to update again before next Tuesday, but I can't make promises :)

Please, vote, comment, all that good stuff! It makes my day :)
