Tearing down walls
 It wasn't often he got to cause a bit of destruction outside of missions and the danger room, but he'd asked Uncle Scott if he could tear down the damaged smaller boathouse. Some kid's powers had done enough of a number on the place that it'd be more feasible to tear it down and rebuild a new one than try and fix this. To be honest, it hadn't been the best month for him. Last year of the degree, but this first month had been a bit of a mess, not to mention it'd taken up so much of his time that he barely had any free time. A pile of assignments, his laptop dying right before an important deadline, a few terrible professors, not winning that entry position in a great company that the program offered every year (especially when he knew he could have), and just in general a ton of stress. Individually he could've handled all those things, but it was when it all piled up and in a relatively short time frame.

 
So Vlad wasn't his usual cheery self as he stood there, hands in pockets and one foot on a very damaged boathouse wall. Just thinking about it all had the frustration build up, and a moment later his foot had left a sizable hole in the wall. Soon more and more of the place was coming down as he tore through it to vent his frustrations a bit.

Cait walked down to the lake for some quiet time and some practice. The danger room was good for combat, but her powers worked better outside at the lake with real water.

As she neared the shore she saw Vlad at the boathouse. Apparently destroying it.

What was going on?

Cait walked up. "Hey," she called out.

He didn't register the sound right away, but after sending another vicious punch and driving his fist through the wall he stopped. His hand was still in the wall but he put on a smile, not wanting to look too down in front of her, and turned to return the greeting. "Hi."

"Did the boat house do something to make you want to smash it to pieces?" Something wasn't right. She could almost feel it and hopefully she could get him to talk about it.

"Uh..." He looked sheepish as he took his fist out of the crumbling wall. "Kid's powers messed up the boathouse and it needs to be teared down now. Uncle Scott said I could do it..." He had asked permission of course.

"Is everything okay?" she asked. He didn't seem like himself and Cait was a little worried.

"Yeah just..." He shrugged and turned back to the building he was in the middle of tearing down and gave it a half-hearted kick. "Not the best month you know?"

Cait reached out and took one of his hands. "I know. I'm here if you want to talk."

He gave her a smile. "Thanks. Just...nothing feels like it's going my way is all. Plus, haven't had much free time and didn't get to be the best boyfriend." Vlad gave her an apologetic look.

"It's okay," she said and squeezed his hand. "You've been busy. I've been busy. It happens. I know you don't care for me any less. What else happened?"

He sighed. "Nothing too big, just a bunch of stuff piling on. Lost that one opening for a job position the program offers to this guy in class, hell lot of assignments due and...my stupid laptop laptop decided to die before an important deadline. Since all the assignments need programs I had on that, that aren't on the school computers, well...I've got late penalties on everything until I get a new laptop and reinstall everything." He shrugged and kicked the wall again. "I asked Uncle Scott if I could tear this thing down so I could get some frustrations out. That's all."

"What can I do to help? Use my laptop until you get a new one. Install what you need. I don't mind."

Normally he'd probably thank her but insist 'Nah, I'll be okay', but he was already behind on a lot of things and the longer this went on the more there was to catch up on and stress out about.

Vlad gave her a soft smile. "Thanks. That'll...actually be a big help." He pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her hair. "You're the best Cait. Thanks for putting up with me for..." There was a long pause there as Vlad froze and his eyes widened. "Aww...shoot," he said to himself.

She was about to deny being the best, but then she saw his eyes go wide. "What's wrong?"

Cait smiled as her fingers played with the sparse hair on Vlad's chest. Her naked body was stretched out against his, her leg draped over his and head rested in the hollow of his shoulder.

"We never did watch the movie," she said before a yawn slipped out.

Vlad had an arm around her and idly played with her hair. "No, I think we got distracted," he chuckled lightly.

"Not going to utter one word of complaint there," Cait said. "That was amazing." It hurt at first, as to be expected, but once the pain died away it was incredible.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss her lightly. "Me neither, it was. I did bring extra movies if you wanted. Though I don't know that I can promise not distracting you."

"I'm quite fine with not watching a movie," she said. "I guess the rumors about us are now true."

Vlad laughed. "No, they're still technically not true. We haven't violated any elevators," he pointed out.

"You have a point, but it evolved from fornicating in the elevator to just fornicating."

"Did it? I don't pay attention to the rumours so I can't say," he shrugged, not seeming bothered. "Guess they figured going out automatically meant that. Well, the elevators still being untouched still stands. Seriously...elevators..." He rolled his eyes and shook his head at that, anyway that elevator had been out for like 5 minutes tops. The rumours made no sense to him.

"Maybe if we get trapped in one again we can make that one true," she said with waggle of her eyebrows.

"I like the way you think," Cait said before kissing him.

"Your brand of wickedness is rubbing off on me," he teased and returned the kiss.
