Compromise

Lorenz gets kicked out, and Claude feels decidedly guilty about the whole issue. Naturally, he offers to room with him until he can find another place; it's an ideal arrangement. Slightly less ideal is that he can no longer ignore his attraction.-Claude was, perhaps, in the habit of worrying about his friends. What with Ignatz doing his best interpretation of the starving artist trope, Lysithea in and out of hospital every other week, and Marianne dropping off grid to start a horse sanctuary or whatever she was doing, he felt like he was allowed to be concerned. Maybe slightly protective, too. He cared about his friends.
