The climate change from New York to Florida was a welcome one because even by noon on Monday it was stupidly hot. Not too humid but that would only increase through the afternoon. They had been out of school for a week and Julian's parents had been surprisingly receptive of having another boy around, if not highly skeptical when it was just them and their son. They were worried about Cass and their young girls but Jules assured them there was nothing at all to fret over. They were at work, though, and Julian was sprawled out over the couch in the downstairs living room trying to find reprieve from the heat since his dad didn't believe in air conditioning until June to save on electric bills. He'd hoped they could go to the beach if Cass ever decided he was going to get up.

He hadn't considered that Caspian wouldn't be used to the heat, he figured he just adapted well to the environment because he rarely bitched about New York except for the noise and the smell. Juice was wearing just a pair of basketball shorts, his leg dangling over the edge of the couch as he half-watched Judge Joe Brown. "I didn't have to talk too hard and you'll get used to the heat. It's not even hot yet," he smirked at the other boy running a hand through his hair.

"Oh we have that luxury just. You know to save money, dad only runs it from June through August. It can be really expensive," he shrugged looking down at his hands before turning off the tv. Julian hated to admit that they were pretty fucking broke most of the time, just making it from month to month barely. He went up to his room so that he could get his swim shorts, hearing one of his sisters in the bathroom and he knocked on the door. "Hey we're going to the beach do you wanna go too or stay here?" He liked to spend time with them, he just hoped Cass wouldn't mind.
