He had decided early on that he didn't want to fly home. It would be too much trouble to pack up his clothes and haul them home, and not to mention the awkwardness of arriving home naked and having to explain himself to his roommate. So he had taken the walk back home alone. It wasn't an incredibly long way, but when he had someone to walk with, it seemed so much shorter.
Rubbing his face, Ty felt a bit more guilty about the whole situation than he probably should have. His mind continued to try to excuse himself from blame, but something held him back from completely hefting all of it off. He still managed to feel most of the responsibility for Levi's fit.
Stopping at a small store on the way home, he bundled his arms with various snacks, promising himself that he would eat them by himself, that he wouldn't share at all, that they were his, but as he continued to draw closer to the dorms, that thought quickly turned around into ways to offer them to Levi without it looking like an apology.

Letting himself into the building, he paced down the halls, clutching at the bags as if they could help. Testing the doorknob, he huffed as it refused to give. Shuffling everything around to find his key, Ty paused as he heard a hard thump inside the room. Immediately suspicious, he unlocked the door and shouldered himself inside, squinting as the room came up empty. He could feel another presence in the room. Not wanting to play hide and seek, Ty settled himself in the middle of his bed, making sure to crinkle the bags of food extra loudly. "Ah, Levi must have gone elsewhere. I suppose... I'll just have to eat all of these snacks alone. Too bad, too, I bought too many. Hopefully I won't have to toss them all out. Wouldn't want them to get stale." Poking himself up on his bed for a moment, he stared around the room, trying to pinpoint where one might be able to hide. For a boy his size, the spots were endless. Figuring that enough mentions of snacks would hopefully draw something out of the other boy, Ty opened a small bag of cookies rather loudly, making sure it crinkled and moved as much as physically possible.

Victory. A faint scuffling sound came from underneath the opposite bed, and Ty focused in on that spot. Narrowing his eyes, he hopped off his bed, pacing for a moment. Levi w
probably wasn't going to come out on his own accord right now. "You come out or I'll rip you out.
Of course, it obviously didn't work but it certainly made him feel better about the situation. Grumbling almost to himself, he managed in a slightly louder voice, "At least you're cute while you're being annoying." Trotting to the bathroom, Ty whisked an unused roll of paper, grabbing a towel on the way out. Stopping in front of Levi's bed, he snapped the towel high above the space beneath, so Levi couldn't see what he was doing just yet.
Moving away again, Ty busied himself by bundling snacks up into a small blanket on his bed. Hefting them all up, he moved himself over to Levi's bed, neatly snapping the towel down to a spot on the floor. Dropping his bundle of snacks, Ty arranged himself on the floor, dropping the tissue in his lap. Ripping one square at a time, he carefully set them in a pile on one knee, trying to not dirty them.
Setting all the squares out on the floor, he carefully placed one cookie on each of the sheets, sliding them under the bed towards where he hoped Levi lurked, vaguely wary of being bitten. "You better not bite me after all this. "

Ty felt like he was feeding some kind of wild animal in the park, and felt absolutely ridiculous. A necessary evil, however, because it seemed his plan was working so far. He heard the vicious sounds of the cookies being devoured by an unseen force, feeling mildly bad for those cookies.
Leaning his back up against the bed, Ty resumed ripping paper, the small stack slowly accumulating. "Only if you come out a little more."
Settling the papers and their cookies just a small bit farther out from under the bed, Ty hoped that he would at least poke his head out.

He wondered what else might draw Levi out faster. He was beginning to grow bored of setting out roommate traps with mild success. Once he poked his head out at least, he could probably manage to tug him the rest of the way out. "Have you been to the beach here before? I don't recall you ever mentioning it. Lets go to the beach. I'll bring snacks, and we can feed some to the birds if you like. They bring friends and dive at other people though, that might not be a good idea to feed them if it's busy there. You like those cookies, don't you? I'll give you the whole bag if you come out already. "

An arm snaked out of the darkness, and Ty held his breath. It was too dark under there for him to see anything properly, so he held his breath, waiting to see if a body would follow the arm. He wasn't disappointed, when Levi slowly came creeping out towards the food. His hand was poised above the boy, ready to come down and latch on once he came out far enough. However, he was too slow, and Levi quickly tried to dart back underneath. His plan was foiled by the wooden border around the frame, and an awful crack sounded. Rather concerned now, Ty's fist buried itself in Levi's shirt, making sure he couldn't slide back into the shadows now.

Tugging the boy closer towards him and further out from under the bed, Ty shook off the papers from his legs, stretching them out flat against the floor. "Here. Sit still a moment." Easing the boy's head onto his legs, Ty's fingers gently ran through Levi's hair, starting at the hairline and gently stroking down to the nape of his neck, carefully avoiding the spot that had struck the bed. It wasn't too difficult — a bruise was already starting to form on the poor boy's forehead. With his other hand, he offered the bag of cookies to the now injured boy, feeling even worse that he had added physical pain to his list of casualties. "I'm sorry." He hoped Levi would stay put for a little while; he was starting to almost enjoy petting his dumb irritating roommate. "Are you too hurt? We don't have to go to the beach if you feel bad."

Caressing his hand through Levi's hair, Ty tilted his head a little bit, staring down at the purring creature. He was almost something more of a cat than human — hiding under beds, hissing at people, pushing his head into their hands when petted.
"I know it hurt, that's why you shouldn't hide under the bed." At least he wasn't bleeding, Ty didn't think the damage looked too bad. "Any brain damage shouldn't be too noticible. You're pretty dumb as it is." It slipped out without him really thinking about it, and he paused, mouth slightly ajar. "I'm sorry. We can go to the beach."

He frowned, stuck on how one would accurately describe the beach. "Well... It's pretty hot, and theres lots of sand around... The ocean is nice. I like the smell of it." His hand resumed the petting as he thought about how to describe it better. "It tastes horrible, don't drink the water. It smells incredible, though. It just has this strange ... Salty and sharp smell. It's unique, I think you'd like it. You can build things with the sand when it's wet, too. Sand castles, and sand people and the like."
