Characters: Santo & Victor
Date: Saturday - Sunday
Location: Outside the city
Situation: The X-Dudes are going camping! It's been a while since they've spent some quality time together, and there's a lot to catch up on.
Warnings/Rating: N/A

It felt like it had been weeks since Santo had just sat down and had any bro time with Victor. Not that they always had to spend time together, but things had just been busy and tense lately, and Santo had spent so much time trying to keep at least one job to earn enough money for them, that it really started to seem like he only saw his best friend in the mornings when he left to go work more and in the evenings when he'd pretty much crash onto his bed right away.

If it didn't seem like that already, it became obvious when Santo found out that he was practically the last person to know that Victor had a boyfriend now.

So, leaving the city for a few days to try and find more solid stone that he could build his body out of just seemed like a good excuse to go camping and reconnect. Santo hadn't found anything much better than what he already had yet, but he was losing mass through general wear and tear, so he needed to build himself a new body. He wasn't that concerned though. Santo was more interested in camping out right now, poking at the small fire they'd built before pulling out the sack with the rations he'd saved for this.

"So... Do you want to tell me what's been going on now? Kind of feels like we haven't said more than a four words to each other lately," He shrugs, taking a piece of bread before passing a much larger one over to Victor.

Accepting the bread, Victor looks it over before giving Santo a look when he sees the different sizes. He doesn't want Santo to worry about the rationing while they're out here. Letting it go though, he takes out some of the jam he'd acquired in the city.

"Well, a lot is going on. What do you want to know about?" he asks, opening the jar.

Santo wasn't going to stop worrying about the rationing until it was over. There never was a lot that he could do for Victor back home, or even here, but at the very least he could survive without eating, and he could make sure that his best friend didn't starve. Victor would just have to deal with it.

"Everything, dude," He dips his finger in the jam before licking it off. "I've been working nonstop for weeks, which is totally against my nature. How about you start by telling me how you bagged a speedster?"

Victor waits for Santo to get his finger out of the way before dipping a spoon into the jam so he can spread it on his bread. "It's not much of a story," he shrugs and takes a break to eat some of his snack. "We were talking about mutations and things on the turtle and he asked me out," Vic smiles. "Then I ran into him during that vacation time we had and we went out again. And now...I've got a boyfriend."

Santo just gives Victor a look that says that he doesn't believe for a second there isn't a story here. After all, this is Victor Borkowski they're talking about. Guys just don't fall into his lap every day... Or ever, really.

"Wow, Vic, that was an incredibly boring story," He feigns a yawn. "I want details."

Victor gives Santo a flat look in return. "I told you it wasn't much of a story. But that's really how we met. We were just talking and he asked me out. The date went pretty well so we went on another and then another...what kind of details are you looking for?"

"Dude, Megan isn't here, so I know you're missing out on the girl talk gossip department. I'm having to pull like... triple friend duties for you here. So dish," He's totally chinhandsing now, but he's really not going to push Victor for all the steamy, sticky details. He's just trying to do the good friend thing.

"So, what's the guy's deal then? Is he human or a hero or something?"

"What exactly do yo think Megan and I talk about?" Victor's just going to arch a brow. "And what dishing do you want? I haven't seen him naked or slept with him or anything like that," he says, cheeks going a bit darker green.

"He's a hero. A metahuman from that same world as Zatanna. I'm pretty sure they're teammates."

"I don't know," He shrugs. "Chick stuff, probably," What else could it possibly be? Santo rubs the back of his neck when Victor obviously tells him way more than he wanted to hear. "Tch, well that's good. I mean, what, you've only been on like two dates, and I still haven't met the guy," Because that's an important prerequisite for getting into Victor's pants.

"Well, that's a start at least... What's his power?"

"I'm not a girl, Santo," Victor gives Santo a flat look as he says this. "Three dates. And we're going on more," at least he really hopes they will be.

"Superspeed."

"Yeah, but-" Santo stops, actually thinks about what he was going to say for once, and does the smart thing an shuts his trap, taking another bite of bread to ensure he doesn't speak for a moment. "Oh jeez, he's not a dick like Quicksilver, is he?" Because most people he knows with superspeed are kind of dicks... And one is a prude.

"I want to meet him."

Victor's eyebrows arch up as Santo starts and stops. He's honestly impressed. "Do you honestly think I'd be with him if he was?" he asks, finishing off his snack.

"You do?"

And it only figures that Santo's luck with choosing his words can only last so long. "Do you honestly want me to answer that question? I can go through the list of guys you've been into if that helps."

He finishes his snack as well, reaching into the bag again to pull out an apple, handing it over to Victor. "Yeah, I do. If you're gonna be dating him, then I need to know that he's good enough for you."

Vic frowns. "For the millionth time, I was never into Northstar," he groans, rolling his eyes.

Victor catches the apple and shakes his head before tossing it back. He's fine for now when it comes to food. "Alright, I guess. Just...don't scare him off or anything."

"Who said anything about Northstar? Wait, was Northstar an asshole too?"

Santo takes the apple, looking at it for a moment since he really is still hungry, but he puts it away. Really, he's a bit surprised that Victor is letting him look into the guy. "How would I scare him off, dude? I'm like the nicest guy ever."

"You mean you didn't think he was one?" Victor quirked a brow. "Or hear what Julian had to say about him?"

The green mutant just gives Santo a flat look at that statement.

"Dude, I didn't really pay attention. Just about every teacher we've ever had came with excessive levels of douche," He shrugs. "I was actually referring to Julian... Or Tommy... Or just about any of the others," He nudges Victor though, obviously just playing.

He's happy for his best friend really. He wants Victor to be happy, and he knows that the lizard mutant has been needing something like for a while now. "I won't break him, dude. Promise. I just want to know him too, since I have to share you with him now... And make sure he's not going to hurt you."

"And that's why your grades suck," Victor teases a little. "Who told you about Ju-" Victor stops himself, cheeks going a darker shade of green. "I'm not only into guys like that, Santo. There have been others..."

"You'd better not break him," he says, nudging Santo. "He won't hurt me."

"I know, dude, and I also don't need to know there are others," He laughs a little. "I already know you're getting more than I ever am," He teases.

Santo sighs eventually though, poking the fire a little with his hand to stoke the flames. "I'm not going to break him," He repeats again. "I just want to make sure of that myself first. It's my job to look out for you."

"Oh, so you don't want to know how I had a crush on Johnny Storm or Hulkling?" Victor teases back. "And I haven't...gotten any in awhile, Santo. Like before Utopia..."

"Your job to look out for me? Okay, Mom," he teases with a bit of affection in his voice.

"Pft, like those were even secrets, dude. Try to think of one that would actually surprise me," He laughs, nudging Victor a little. "And hey, that's still not as long as it's been for me."

Rolling his eyes, Santo puts the food away and starts to make himself comfortable, pulling out some blankets and stuff in case it gets cold outside the city. "If I didn't look out for you, then you'd be so screwed here. You're so lucky to have me."

"If it's a secret one, why would I reveal it?" Vic asks, giving Santo a friendly little shove.

"I think you might have that backwards, Santo," Victor stretches out as he speaks. "You'd be screwed without me here watching your back."

"If I already know about them, then they don't really count as ones that I don't want to know about."

Santo shrugs. "Nah, you'd make it maybe three days without me tops."

"Yeah well, I wasn't aware you wanted to know about any of them."

Vic arches a brow. "I did pretty well for awhile on my own. And you were the one that kept calling me and trying to get me to leave Fairbury after Frost and Summers kicked us all out."

"Nope, just the ones that I have to worried about walking in on you making out with."

Santo sits up a little, turning to look at Victor. "It wasn't like I missed you or anything. Blindfold saw it that way, and going against what she sees is like asking for death," That may or may not be a lie, and he may have actually missed Victor before they were really bros.

"So you're going to like, put a sock on the door or something when you and Wally get busy, right?"

"Then you should have been worried about Paras and Ben," Victor jokes, just to see Santo's reaction.

A brow is then arched. "Uh huh. So Ruth predicted that you had to keep calling me?"

"We haven't," Vic rubs the back of his neck. "If we do it at my place, then yes. We'll try to keep...that to his suite though," mostly so Santo doesn't have to hear/chance walking in on it.
