Ev said that he could stay as long as he wanted, and Dustin breathed out a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected her to deny him, but it was still nice to have a plan in place, and someone there for him. Ev asked if he wanted her to put on a movie, and Dustin had to take a long time to consider it. “As long as it’s not a romance, or set in France, or at Christmastime.” He said after he had thought about it long enough. He knew his criteria were oddly specific, but he didn’t want the movie to end up making him feel worse, and those were all of the things he could think of that would set his mind wandering down the wrong path. Ev said that she hadn’t been doing anything, which made Dustin feel a little better about barging into her apartment with all of his messy break up emotions and no warning.

Dustin was openly relieved and Evelyn was confused. Did he think she would say no? Or that she wouldn't want him there? She'd never turn him away, Dustin was family to Ev. She nodded when he stated his preference for movies. "So how about an action?" she said, moving over to the cupboard where she stored movies. She didn't have a lot, but hopefully she had something that Dustin would like. "Do you want one of these?" Since he was being so particular about the type of movies he didn't want to watch, she thought it might be best to let him choose. "And do you want any snacks? I have popcorn," she told him with a slight smile.

After hearing his oddly specific requests for a movie, Ev suggested an action, and after rummaging through the cabinets, handed Dustin a few DVDs. He looked at the selection, scanning the covers for a woman that looked even vaguely like Vi. That eliminated two of the choices, which left him with three others. Deciding based only on name, Dustin chose the middle DVD, handing it to Ev to put in the entertainment system. Evelyn suggested snacks, and Dustin nodded. “Popcorn sounds good.” Dustin said. Then, slightly sheepishly, he asked, “Do you have any chocolate?” He had seen way too many Muggle romances, and it seemed like whenever things were going poorly, people ate chocolate. Even if it didn’t work, there was no harm in trying a cure that involved eating food.

Now that Dustin seemed to have calmed down some, Ev was definitely interested in getting him what he needed and in trying to lift his spirits. She put the movie in and tossed the remote to him, walking toward the kitchen when he said he wanted popcorn. Of course he did. Then he asked about chocolate and Ev laughed. "Dustin, of course I have chocolate! I may not understand why everyone wants it when they're having a bad day, but it's delicious and you know all about my sweet-tooth." She giggled as she grabbed chocolate while the popcorn popped. Then she carried it all into the living room, jumping over the back of the couch and landing on the seat beside Dustin. "You're snacks," she said, handing the bowl with popcorn over to him. She would eat some, after he did.

Dustin breathed out a sigh of relief when Evelyn said that she had chocolate. He was prepared to glut himself on snack foods and spend the rest of the day watching cheesy action movies with Ev. He accepted the bowl of popcorn and, after shoving several fistfuls into his mouth, handed the bowl over to Ev so he could begin unwrapping a bar of chocolate to shove in his mouth as well. He punched the play button on the remote, and laid his head on Ev’s shoulders as the opening sequence began. Maybe he didn’t feel good, but he felt okay, and that was progress.
