Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Greek particularly the character of Beaver. The other characters are my own.

Warnings: Will contain eventual slash in later chapters, so be warned. Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Err.. I mean, Don't Like Don't Read.

Prologue

It was stupid really. Caught up in this dream, this fantasy, this… it was just so stupid.

But all good things must come to an end. Heath, Wade, and Rusty and all the Kappa Tau, they all moved on of course. Even Cappie had to give way to real life eventually. How most of them got away with some sort of degree, they might never know.

He started out with a football scholarship, but that fell through really quickly. There was beer to be had. And Parties. And more beer. He's lucky that he ended up with a business degree. He owed it all to heavy cram sessions with Rusty but mostly of course, a very very "modified" programmable calculator entrusted to him by Cappie.

It didn't sink in at graduation. It didn't sink in when he booked his flight back home. It didn't sink in when his mother and brother picked him up from the airport. It didn't sink in on the chatty ride home. It didn't sink in when he unpacked in his old room, still untouched. It didn't sink in hanging out with his brother, catching up on old news.

It did sink in when his father joined them at dinner. The silence around the table was deafening.

"I don't expect you at the business right away, Charles. You got till Monday."

Great, that gives me….. uh…. five whole days to grow up. You can do this Beaver. He let out a sigh he didn't even know he was holding in. You can do this Beaver, you can do this.

AN: This is my first story, but I just had to write something with Beaver (man, I love Beaver) as a more mature complex character. And of course it had to be slash (with OMC).

Have got major plot bunny running, but still deciding on a good backstory, especially since as a non-American I have no idea about geography. Where's Beaver from? What's the family business?

Should have Chapter 1 up soon. Sorry for the long note…
