"Hey, this is Dr. Peter Venkman- I'm probably busy. If you're calling about something stupid done by a Dr. Egon Spengler or a Dr. Ray Stantz, I'm sorry for whatever they did. Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

You're such a jerk.

[He says, as he lazily gets back into bed and drapes an arm over him.

In the box is a cute little cupcake! It is indeed a little squished from the adventure, but it still looks good. And it's funfetti flavored! =)

... There is also a piece of paper that looks suspiciously like the unlimited magnet train pass.]

[neverstudied]

[Venkman grins at the cupcake- God, Ray's adorable... And then he notices the pass and laughs, shaking his head.]

Ray, really... should I spend a whole day riding back and forth on the Magnet Train, make sure you got your money's worth?

[Judging by the delighted look on his face, he might just do exactly that. After a moment, he leans forward and kisses him.]

Thank you.

[ghoststanning]

If you wanna, just make sure you visit me every now and again.

[He grins, happy that Venkman likes his present, and holds him close again.]

It's really the least I could do, as a thanks for when you decided to make me tutor you in our Engineering classes.

[neverstudied]

Oh, I'll try to at some point. No promises.

[He rolls his eyes a bit at the last comment, though.]

I know you're trying to be sentimental and cute about it, but I'm pretty sure I should be the one thanking you for that.

[ghoststanning]

Maybe that’s more accurate. I’m still pretty sure a part of my soul died when you asked me when we were going to learn about trains.

[He gives Peter a find look and kisses him on the cheek.]

Still, I really am thankful. If it wasn’t for you I’d probably be bored and friendless in a job I hated. I’d probably be watching you and the guys saving the world from ghosts on tv one day and feel the worst sense of longing.

[neverstudied]

Never letting that one go, are you?

[ughhh-]

Nah, you kidding? We never could've made half our equipment without you. I definitely couldn't. ... And I'm pretty sure Spengs would've been dead from a lab accident years ago without both of us working together to keep him from going too far.

And even if we had somehow done it all without you, you'd literally just have to show up and we'd hire ya on the spot.

[ghoststanning]

All those hours of my life, wasted...

[He will never let it go.

His expression softens at that, though.]

Aww Pete...

But would you hire me on the spot because you think I'd be good for the job or just because you love me?

[neverstudied]

Oh, I dunno... Maybe we'd've hire you as eye-candy around the office first, then figure out you're a genius down the line. You've got the looks and the brains for it.

[ghoststanning]

[Ray laughs and pushes Venkman lightly.]

C'mon Pete, you're supposed to be a professional, you can't just hire people just because you're attracted to them!

... Besides, I'm not sure how Egon would take me if we hadn't met in college. He might see me as competition.

[neverstudied]

I'm a professional? Since when?

Aw, you'd win him over before long. Spengs can't resist that face any more than I can.

[ghoststanning]

As long as he doesn't lock me out of the lab while he continues blowing himself up down there.

[He says, as if he doesn't blow himself up just as often.

Ray buries his face in the crook of Venkman's neck, thoughtful.]

Would that mean Win would have been around you guys for longer? I can only imagine how that would have ruined any sense of self preservation you have.

[Again, as if Ray isn't just as bad if not worse.]
