Cepheus felt like he'd found the perfect flat in all of London. And he'd spent four days building it up and decorating it. He'd taken what bit of James's budget he could get and then his own and he was very happy with the way it had come out.

He smiled to himself as he waited for James outside the door to their flat, glancing at his watch. He was late.

James's Room.
Cepheus's Room.

Cepheus smiled at Molly, though really, he was wanting to scream. Internally screaming. James was not allowed to like him a lot. It would make things complicated.

"Well, thank you." Cepheus told her with a smile, then motioned for her to follow him. "There's another room I haven't showed James yet. You'll get to see it first. It's a nice room." He led her into it and smiled. "This is the guest room. You can stay here sometimes if you'd like."

James loved his grandmother, but he wasn't so sure about the idea of his grandmother staying with them. "If you and granddad are feeling up to it," he added, peering over Molly's head, into the room. He looked at Cepheus, smiling a little. "You should really consider doing this for a living. This only took you four days."

Molly smiled, patting Cepheus's hand. "You're sweet," she told him. "When Arthur and I come into the city we usually stay with James's mother and father."

	Cepheus smiled at Molly and walked a little further into the room. "I have people who help. Jaden is excellent at lifting furniture." He told him as he opened the door. "If you do stay, you'll have your own bathroom." He told him. "And it's a secure building. I'm sure James will love having you over for holidays." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Molly laughed. "Everyone comes to The Burrow for the holidays," she told Cepheus, shaking her head. "I have seven children and they all have their kids. I like piling them all into the house for a few days to celebrate together, except when Fleur takes Charlotte away."

"Cepheus knows Charlotte and Elodie," James told Molly, even if mentioning Elodie felt sort of like mentioning Xavier. "You can come over whenever you want," he told her. "You know you're always welcome. And Al is living in a giant loft, so he doesn't exactly have the space."

	"Holidays full of family sound like a lot of fun. My family is all boring and stiff. Except my stepfather Luka. He's a big cuddly teddy bear who sneaks me sweets." He smiled at Molly. "I heard you make amazing biscuits." He looked at James. "I also heard you like soaps. Which do you watch? Let me show you our telly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Molly beamed at Cepheus. "I brought a tin of biscuits for you," she promised him. "You'll have to make sure James shares. He's always been a bit greedy with sweets. I watch EastEnders and Emmerdale, of course. Coronation Street too, sometimes. Do you watch them as well?"

James wasn't sure how he felt about Cepheus charming Molly's socks off. It was easier if she liked his roommate, but still. She was supposed to like him the best. "He does," James told her. "When he's not pretending he doesn't watch my football games."

	"Of course. What self respecting woman doesn't?" Cepheus waved a hand and led Molly into the sitting room. He frowned at James and shook his head, falling onto the couch. "I don't watch your games. I don't like sports." Cepheus pointed out and then turned on the table. He went to his dvr and started playing EastEnders on it with a grin. "Here we are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You totally watch my games," James said, rolling his eyes at Cepheus. "You cannot pull that with me. I've seen you talking sports with the Macnairs before." He watched his grandmum perk up when EastEnders started to play and smiled, then walked to the kitchen to grab the biscuits.

James flopped down on the couch beside Cepheus, opening the tin and handing it to him. "Try one. They're amazing. You're going to have to explain this show to me. I never got it."

	"How do you not get it? Are you thick?" Cepheus asked as he looked at James. "It's all about the people who live in Albert Square. And of course it's full of drama and emotions because it's a soap." He shrugged. "Dot just came home after being gone, so everyone is excited about her return. And there's this whole bit with Zainab and Ayesha that's ridiculous." (Reply to this)(Parent)
