( thirty minutes, and sam's sitting outside the door to caleb's apartment. clean, looks like he's actually fucking slept for once, and doesn't--look too bad. he feels like absolute garbage, like a piece of shit, waste of space who shouldn't even goddamn be here.
but he looks better, which's progress in of it's own, right? his hair even looks vaguely brushed, as opposed to ratty and messy.
when caleb approaches, he raises a hand in a wave. quirks a corner of his lips. )
( oh. right. the empathy thing. caleb sets down the groceries and wraps himself around sam and sam--freezes for a moment, before he's moving his own arms up to wrap them around caleb. holds onto him tightly for a few seconds, before he loosens his arms to a gentler hold. )
( he takes caleb's hand easy, offers him a smile, not a smarmy grin. pulls himself up to his feet with caleb's help, then gestures to the front door. )
( he can use his giant powers for good, and lean down to pick up some of the bags and carry them into the kitchen. sam drops them down onto the counter, then starts--sifting through all of caleb's garbage to put it away. )

Open up, so I can show you how to cook some eggs.

[ he opens the door and leads sam inside. the kitchen counter is already covered in the grocery bags from earlier, and as told, it's mostly trash. ]

This the shit you usually eat?

[ so yes, he mostly eats garbage. ]

( but he's a little less dependent on nutrients than caleb is, and caleb does look like he's pretty fit. )
Get me a clear cup?
