[ Ludo used to hate the nameplate on the door. The funny thing is, when Angelo moved out he found himself less embarrassed by it. He can't imagine why! It's probably the same reason why he stopped hiding some of his more "childish" belongings. Why he went lax on trying to appear as "grown-up" as possible around the house.
Someone knocks on the door but it opens before he can look up from one of his textbooks. His face wears surprise to see it's his older brother, and suddenly he felt...unprepared? Taken off guard. A movie was playing on his T.V and he was awfully speedy to grab the remote and turn it off.
It was a tragic love story. The girl he had a crush on, Stephanie, said it was her favorite movie. He lied and said he had always wanted to see it which resulted in her loaning him her copy.
[ Angelo stops near the door, hands on his hips, eyes narrowed. Ludo was definitely watching something on the TV before he came in, he could hear it through the door. Probably porn. Gross. ]
I'm getting married.
[ Aside from Alastor, Ludo's the first person he's told about this. He's only known Vic for about two months, but it felt like a good idea when they were talking about it and it still feels like a reasonably good idea now, so. Here he is. Saying that. ]
[ It takes Ludo a moment to register what's being said. At first, he thinks he's mistaken and tries to correct himself in his head. But it doesn't take long for him to realize that he, in fact, heard Angelo say that he was getting married. ]
Oh, what? [ Give him a second here! Once the shock subsides and his big eyes stop resembling golf balls in size, the realization that his brother has found someone that made him happy enough to marry sets in. ] That's great!
[ Ludo is grinning now, getting up and clearing the second seat by his studying desk of whatever books he had piled on there. He got in the habit of just keeping a second chair there, as he had begun tutoring some of his younger peers.
Yes, the implication is that Angelo should sit down and not lurch in the doorway like a vampire waiting to be invited! ]
So...how'd it happen?
[ Like every interaction he has with his brother, Ludo goes into it with a small hope Angelo will do something like, you know, stay a while and talk about his life-changing milestones. He never goes into a conversation assuming he will be shut down because then that means he's given up. ]

It actually wasn't bad. ]
