Besides the obvious, nothing's changed since Kavinsky's birthday. They still hang out together more often than not, Kavinsky has his job and Newt has his classes, and they haven't stopped looking for a bigger place to move into. Today, with Kavinsky out to take care of the groceries by himself, the apartment is quiet while Newt's homework keeps him busy and Al settles into sneaking glances his way between working through some job hunting guide he's picked up.
It's not long before he's doing more Newt-watching than turning pages. He knows by now that Newt frowning doesn't necessarily mean that Newt has something on his mind bothering him; frowning is just what Newt does unconsciously, sometimes. Today, though, Al has to wonder if they aren't both thinking of Kavinsky.
They haven't been treating him any different, just because he looks different -- he's sure they haven't. Kavinsky's still himself on the inside, in the way he acts. To them, it doesn't matter if he stays a girl or wakes up a guy again one day.
Maybe it matters to Kavinsky.
