January 15
Despite how sore he felt from the vending machine, Aaron still thought it would be a good idea to go snowboarding, even with that loaner board that he absolutely HAD to use. Because that dumb vending machine that had crushed him didn't give him the one he bought and he was mad at it and mad at everything and life sucked and the only positive thing about it was Hunter and he was very aware that he was accidentally ignoring the cute boy again, thank you very much.
To his surprise, he didn't fall over when he got to the bottom of the slope, and then remembered with a start that he had some more homework to do. Setting up at the picnic table still clad in his winter clothes, he had a much better time doing it today than he had a couple days before. He was thankful that it was for biology and not for physics. Scrawling in the details of photosynthesis in an equation, he let his thoughts wander for a moment to his garden, and smiled to himself. It was looking amazing: four apple trees, four bonsai shrubs, and a chrysanthemum. His two new apple trees were due to grow to full height soon, and his two original trees should have plenty ready to harvest come tomorrow. Gardening was definitely one of his happy places.
The next day, Aaron watered before school and picked after school, spontaneously deciding to keep four of his apples and plant those behind his four existing trees. Now he had a miniature orchard of eight apple trees! While he worked on a school project outside his shack, the Watcher worked on some not-so-insignificant renovations inside.
When he finally entered the building again, he was absolutely delighted. The Watcher had given him a new bed, a desk, a full size fridge (not a mini fridge), and even a kitchen counter. The bathroom was also smaller, and there was a grill outside in place of an oven. "Thank you, Watcher!" he said, immediately going to the counter to cook his first real meal in his own place. A fruit salad. He took it over to the desk to eat it, in front of his selfie with Hunter. Home. He tried the word again. He had come here with nothing, and now he had this wonderful little place. It may have only been two rooms including the bathroom, but it was cozy and clean and more than adequate to suit his current needs. He could be proud of himself.

The rest of this is no commentary because I am freaking tired right now :joy:
though I mean the story part basically already is commentary
