It's worth a shot. Practice has made me less scared I might change someone's feelings by accident.
[ He's still afraid and he's been trying to avoid emotionally charged scenarios, but at least now he's pretty sure he'd know it's happening. ]

Yeah? Like what?
[ Caleb doesn't actually have a lot going on personally. There's Cal, but that aside he mostly keeps to himself. Kinda hard to get things going when you're feeling everyone else's drama. ]

Who to contract with now that Adam and Blue are both gone.
[That's the biggest problem looming over him at the moment. Other problems like keeping the house—and with it, more importantly, keeping safe and hidden the patch of dream forest in the shed out back—sort of hinge on that.]

Contract with me.
[ He says it immediately, without even thinking first. But a second later he gets self-conscious. ]
I mean, I'll put down in writing that your stuff is yours if I disappear. And if you find someone else down the line, I'll sign the stuff over. Cal will be cool.

[Noah's not expecting him to up and offer just like that, so it takes a moment or two for the words to sink in.]
Really?
[Maybe it can be that easy... He likes Caleb and they get along. Though he doesn't know Cal at all, that's not really an issue. Aside from one or two very specific people he'd rather not be around, he doesn't care who else his Dom contracts with.]
...You could move in, if you want. There's spare bedrooms.

Yeah? I'm like five minutes away from getting kicked out of public housing, you'd be saving me from apartment hunting, which is hell.
[ Plus, it'd probably be good for Noah too, even Caleb would feel the walls closing in if he lived on his own. ]
But uh, there's Cal also, and I know you don't know him, so if you're not cool with a stranger here we can keep hunting.
[ Caleb likes Cal a lot and he'd never leave him stranded, so they're a package deal for the time being. ]

If you like him, he's probably okay.
[It might be weird at first, but he'll adjust. His roommate standards aren't really that high and he can stow Ronan's miscellaneous dream things and anything else he wouldn't want a stranger seeing in his room or the shed.]
I'll meet him just to make sure.

Awesome! He's a great guy, and he's got abilities too. He's kind of an empath and uh, telekinetic, I guess? It's a bunch of things. I think you'll like him.
[ Both Noah and Cal are easy to like so he doesn't think there'll be any problems. ]

i run every morning, i wasn't gonna give up.
for real, though, if you wanna talk; i don't keep notes bc i don't trust the city to keep them private, and anything you tell me stays between us.
