01. Jason Moving in - Closed to Dylan, Jason, and Sleeper

Dylan emptied out the unoccupied bedrooms.

He'd held out for months. Surely Eddie and Venom would come back someday. Surely Diana couldn't stay away for long. But when Ripley finally disappeared...

Well.

Nothing was thrown out. He couldn't do that. He couldn't. He'd contacted the trustee in charge of his money and arranged for a storage facility. Someday he'd go there and take a more thorough look through their things, try to get it organized.

Someday.

Today, Jason is moving in. Dylan needs a guardian, and like hell he's letting some government bigwig choose one for him. Last thing he needs is some kind of Count Olaf type trying to get their hands on his inheritance. He trusts Jason — but more importantly, Sleeper trusts Jason, which spoke volumes.

He's helping Jason get settled into the penthouse, but pauses when he passes by the closed door of Eddie and Venom's old room. He stops and stares at it, wondering if maybe this time, this time the door might burst open and Eddie might come out to greet him with a hug.

02. Dana coming to Stay - Closed to Dylan, Sleeper, Jason, and Dana

Dana's brainwashing hadn't been her fault, and it certainly hadn't been Dylan's fault. He knew rationally that he shouldered none of the blame.

But he should have known. He should have seen something. Dylan had literally been inside her head as it was happening and he couldn't see it. Nevermind that he'd been stretched so thin at the time, there was no way he could have focused on a single person for an extended period of time. Never mind that he had literally no baseline for what Dana's normal brain should feel like, and thus couldn't possibly have known anything was different than normal.

After Dana comes to stay with them, Dylan is determined to be completely normal about this.

Coming to check on her every 15 minutes to ask if she's OK is completely normal, right?

03. Movie Night - Open to Dylan's friends & housemates

The lights are dim, and the whole apartment smells like popcorn. The big-screen TV in the living room is playing Lilo and Stitch, and he's surrounded by people he cares about.

One in particular.

Dylan thinks he's being subtle. He's sitting in the middle of the couch when the film starts, with Hunter to his left. Slowly, Dylan starts leaning into Hunter, eventually easing his head down to rest on his shoulder.

He keeps his eyes on the movie, but his thoughts are lost in the warm, excited churning in his stomach at being so close.
