"Lards, get your fucking thinking cap on, we've got a shit ton work to do," he says when she answers.

Shitty hears Lardo groaning on the other end of the call. "Brah...seriously? I was asleep" she mutters.

Shitty laughs and gets a grin before yelling into the phone "WAKE UP!!!" at the top of his lungs. He laughs again as he hears her swearing through the phone. While he appreciates the sanctity of the nap, this is more important.

"Damn it Shits!" she growls when she comes back to the phone after quite a lot of background noise causing him to wonder if she fell off the bed. "What is so damn important it couldn't wait till I was fully conscious?"

"I got deets!" Shitty says proudly. "The Haus has been insane this break but the final piece of the puzzle has been revealed!" he crows.

"What the hell are you babbling about?" Lardo is quickly losing patience.

"You arranged for Jude to stay in the Haus for the break?" he asks.

"Of course" this better get better quickly she thinks.

"And Ransom offered to allow Connor to stay as well?" he adds.

"Wait...what?" that was new information. Lardo had to leave campus a bit early as her dad was seeing the doctor for his condition and she wanted to be there. She hadn't been very active with Samwell people over the break to be honest what with the Duan family issues that had exploded among the aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and great grandmother.

"Then Jack ended up staying because of talking to agents and Bitty decided to stay to take care of everyone and I stayed until today" Shitty finished.

Larissa stood up trying to put all this information into a pattern that would make sense. "So where did Jude and Connor...they stayed together in the attic?" she reasoned out.

"Yep" Shitty confirmed. "Then for Christmas dinner, Jude's family all came to Boston so Bitty invited them to the Haus along with all of us and Jack's parents as well."

Larissa sat back down. "Whoa" she muttered.

"Whoa is right. And the days before the dinner. Can you say awkward and uncomfortable? How about tense? How about strained?" Shitty was on a roll. "So dinner was crazy...did I mention that we found out that Con's dad is Adam Stevens from the Diamondbacks?"

"Seriously?" Larissa was surprised as that had never come up before. This was a whole lot of information flying at her.

"Oh yes. He and Jack have seriously bonded over the break over that as well as their emotional issues" Shitty teased.

"Does this have anything to do with Winter Screw?" Larissa asked slowly. She had noticed that there was a lot of tension after the dance though besides the normal Jack/Bitty dynamic, she hadn't figured out why.

"Well that's where it gets interesting" Shitty said and she could hear the smirk on his face. "Yesterday, I was out on the reading room when Con came out to talk and he came out to me."

There was a moment of silence. "Connor's gay?" Larissa asked disbelievingly. "And you are telling me?" she continued.

"I have permission to tell you from Con" Shitty quickly reassured her. "He is nervous about telling people and it getting out because of his dad but I assured him you wouldn't say anything."

Larissa sat quietly after he spoke and Shitty just waited. The two of them had always felt comfortable sitting in silence without feeling awkward or uncomfortable so she felt okay as she considered what he said.
