"I wondered when you would show up! C'mere bro!" Now Xander was no weakling, and he trained in the gym often, but Cole was 6'7 and like 280lbs. He was a small sasquatch compared to his friend and even just joking he could feel the pressure from hishug. "Gaaaah, lemme go you big bear! I can't breathe," he chuckled through his playful struggles to escape the hug. When Cole let go, he swiftly turned around and hugged him back, hulking him off the floor and swinging him around a bit. He may have been small, but even without his powers Xander knew he had a lot of power in his frame.<br/><br/> The two men laughed like children seeing each other again after one had gone off to camp for the summer and the smiles between the two were genuine as he set the baller back down. "It's good to see you again, brother. Happy birthday and all that! Oh, and when you see my present? Done deal. You won't care about anything else you got tonight, guaranteed," he said with a look of absolute certainty on his face. "Oh? So you can tell me all about it huh?" A playful slap to Xander's shoulder came from nowhere and he pretended that it hurt a lot more than it did. <br/><br/>"No. I'm not a birthday cheater. You get your gift when you open it with everyone elses. Now where can a brotha get a drink around here? I'm good for a few and if I get too tipsy my car can drive me home...man I love technology." Cole only shook his head and hooked Xander with his arm and started walking them to the kitchen. "I already got a head start on you, bro. Come on, all the good shits in the kitchen."[/color] Even though he knew the way, Xander let Cole guide him through the huge house and the throng of guests toward the kitchen where the good booze were kept.<br/><br/></span><br/>
