Rating: PG at most. Maybe even G. Strange...

Open/Closed/Finished: Closed

Summary: Grell's little boy isn't so little anymore!

The first week of classes went by quite quickly, and Grell was still reeling from it all. The most BORING classes ever in existence (and he should know about existences) and he had to trudge through them. Really, all this school work was just a big wrinkle producing factory!

He didn't even know that one could learn physics!

With a sigh, Grell walked towards the dorms, feeling as if this would be the longest semester yet. He passed by a young male, not really paying much attention to him. If only he had.

Tobias was simply amazed at how second nature this was, even with the two year gap. Some things ended up deeply ingrained, he supposed, and at least it had made it simple to readjust to Garden. Marco and Espio had helped a bit with that, of course...

It was the passing red-head that made him stop, blinking a little before looking back.

"...Mom?"

Grell stopped and looked to the other, blinking and staring.

....and staring.

He may not stop staring, because the face seems SO familiar but he can't place it.

"Pardon?"

He's well aware of the change, so her reaction isn't entirely surprising. But he knows for sure, now -- this is Grell. It has to be.

"I'm Tobias."

"...Toby?"

Grell took a step or five closer, ignoring personal space, because if this was his little boy, it wouldn't matter. He grabbed his chin and turned left and right, angled up and down.

"...are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I.... went back home. For two years."

He swallowed dryly, giving a weak smile.

"Marco and Espio said I'd only been in a coma for a few days. It... feels surreal."

"Two years..." Again, Grell is the last to know. He let go of Toby's chin and crossed his arms, really soaking in the other's new form. He was...boggled! Extremely so! "Surreal would be one of the words I'd use. You're not my little boy anymore!" He gave a loud gasp at a realization. "Don't tell me I missed your first kiss!"

He couldn't stop a laugh at that, the smile getting much stronger.

"No, you didn't. I... didn't meet anyone I liked who liked me back."

"...my my." Grell couldn't help but grin at the other. "Toby laughing and smiling! Those two years MUST have done something good, hmm~?"

"They were hard, but there were enough good things in them, yeah."

He stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Grell in a hug and still smiling.

"But I'm happy to be back."

It had been a long while since he got a chance to hug Toby. Grell returned the hug tenfold, glad, but wishing the other hadn't been in a coma to get one.

He'd need to rectify that.

"Such a naughty boy you are, making us all worry so. But you're here and awake...and older." He pulled back, taking in just how much Toby has grown. There was so much that he had obviously missed... "You'll tell me all that's happened to you, won't you?"

You never really knew what you had missed terribly until you got it again, it seemed. Tobias clung to Grell tightly, almost not realizing it until the other pulled back. He blinked a little, smiling again, if somewhat sadly, at the question.

"I will. Not all of it was good, but I will.

"And I'm sorry for making you worry."

"A bit of worry must be what spices up life, hmm~? You can make it up to me by telling me about your little trip," Grell tugged him over to a nice, sunny patch of grass to sit on, waiting for the story. "And you'll explain about your eye, correct?" Because that was a bit hard to miss. Grell noticed it, but was overwhelmed at seeing Toby so grown up so fast.

He nodded, settling himself comfortably, and sighing a bit happily. It was good to be back.

"To make a long story short... I ended up possessing someone else's body, then had to fight my own to get it back. After that, a friend and I -- named Silver -- went around to try to find some way to deal with the glitching. We managed to find a way to get it sealed inside my body, so it won't happen at random anymore, but it does make me a little tired every so often."

He rubbed the patch a bit, before pushing it up to reveal the scarring.

"I was attacked directly."

Grell gave him all the undivided attention Toby deserved. It was a short story, but he listened. Green eyes immediately looked for that bracelet he got poisoned looking for last month was indeed gone. He touched the scar lightly with a sigh.

"Do you need me to go back there are teach them not to hurt my little boy~?" Because he'll find a way!

He smiled again, putting his head on Grell's chest. "I wish you could, but it's okay. They're... not here, and I don't want to think about them anymore. Please."

He gave a slow breath, closing his eye.

"Has anything changed around here?"

"Fine, fine." Grell was just glad that Tobias was alright. He held onto the other, smiling and grateful that Tobias was still his little boy despite being all grown up.

"Nothing much has changed, except I'm stuck with such boring classes!" Grell groaned, remembering that he had work to do. "Just speaking about it upsets me. Ah~," he looked down to Toby with a grin. "I think a round of shopping is in order~. You've obviously outgrown your old clothes, anyway, and mommy dearest needs to de-stress!"
