"On her way to an advanced degree," Mohinder reported, smiling as well behind his glasses. "She taught a few lectures and charmed her way into some free ice cream."

"Mohinder!" Molly laughed as she took Matt by the hand. Having either of them leave again, for the next few weeks, was going to be difficult. Even if it was only for a little while. "It did make me miss school a little bit though. They don't have arts and crafts at the university though." Allow the girl to chatter away while Mohinder crossed the plaza at a more leisurely pace, eyes on Matt the whole way, at least until he realised he'd been made out again.

Hopefully this wouldn't become a massive problem, though holding all of these feelings in was starting to tear at him.

His own fault and he knew it.

Climbing into the backseat with Molly, they were whisked back home and Mohinder spent the time before dinner trying to pack Molly up and get the things he'd bought safely into his own luggage. At least playing Tetris with tea and spices kept his mind from Matt--

Oh, who was he kidding? Of course it didn't. Not when he could hear Matt talking to Molly across the hall.
