[It's a beautiful Monday morning in spring! And aren't you thrilled that for the first time in several days that your newspapers are delivered on time? They're actually delivered early enough that they're there before you wake up. How wonderful!

After finishing his route, Crowe cheerfully skips off to school. I mean, he hasn't been there in several days, hopefully he can catch up, right? And all for that silly combat training he's been doing with Coach Jecht. But he's in such a great mood this morning he barely noticed his screaming muscles or bruised joints. Golly, sure hope the teachers aren't mad! Especially since it's getting so close to the end of the year! Maybe he'll ask coach if he can take a break so he's ready for finals.

... it's when he gets to the entrance of the school that the droning wears off, and Crowe suddenly stops as he realizes what's going on. He sort of stares in horror at nothing in particular. Good lord, that was scary. And it only lasted a few hours. Not wanting to tempt fate further, he goes off to class.

Something's different about Crowe lately though. He's quiet, and there's not as many smiles offered to one and all, as usual. He's still polite as ever, and pays attention in class, even trying to get notes for what he missed over the last few days from classmates and teachers. Most notably however, is that it looks like someone's been kicking the crap out of him lately. Mostly because someone HAS been - Crowe had been skipping school and his paper route to do some martial arts training with his blitzball coach. While athletic, Crowe couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, and Jecht has been absolutely merciless on the boy. He's doing his best to not show how sore he is though. And as the school week progresses, he'll grow more quiet, more exhausted, but there will never be one word of complaint from him. Not one ill word.

Luckily for him, he's been too distracted and completely missed Mother's Day, and even the new face in his home.]


[A quick call, unfiltered.]

Please excuse my negligence the last few days regarding the paper delivery. It won't happen again.

Same here, I suppose. Ah, sorry I'm not heading the usual way home today, I have to go to Coach Jecht's house for training. [He looks less than thrilled about this.] But… I definitely learned my lesson about skipping school. Don't ever do that for too long, okay?

Crowe... What the fuck is he doing to you?

[He chuckles nervously.] Kicking my arse, mostly. I had skipped school and my job to get training in order, and found myself droned into getting the paper route done and go to school this morning. [He sighs.] It wore off just as I was getting there, but it was scary enough. I'll... just have to manage my schedule a bit better.

What a fucking jerk. [She makes a derisive noise, then adds, just more than a little hopefully and a touch sly:] If you got tired of it, I could set him on fire for you...

[Another chuckle.] No, no, that's a bad idea. I've seen him punch a girl. He won't hold back!

It-it's alright. I mean, if I didn't want to do it, I'd walk away. But... I have to stick with this.

You realize that doesn't scare me right? [Grinning.]

When you're done, do you at least want to go to the malt shop for dinner or something?

Date: 2010-05-19 02:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Yeah, I didn't think so. [He smiles.] That sounds like a good idea. Shall I meet you there?

Sure. I've got a bunch of homework and some other stuff I need to work on. 'Round six?

continue/action/drop?

From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
Right. I should be done by then. I hope. I'll see you there!

[He'll be there, punctual as always, looking really tired, doing his best to give her a smile as he approaches.] Hey there. Homework go alright?

sounds good to me! o/

From: [identity profile] followyouthere.livejournal.com
Yeah. Didn't take me long. Way too easy, this stuff. [She shrugs, looking a little rumpled herself.]

[He gives a tired smile.] We both look like we could use a holiday. The end of the school year's coming up, at least. I'll be glad for that.

Yeah, I keep hearing the drones talking about it. I'm kind of looking forward to not having all of that homework to do for a little while.

Any summer plans, then? As much as travel would be nice, we don't have many options... maybe we can camp out in the park, or something? Better than nothing, I suppose.

I didn't have anything planned. You know, just doing what I usually do, I guess.

I do really like the idea of camping, though.

Me too! We should do it. I'm sure we could convince a lot of people into it. Kay, Seychelles, Becca... maybe Massimo, Junpei or Touma. We'll have to ask around!

Y-yeah...

[MORE SOCIAL SITUATIONS WITH PEOPLE SHE DOESN'T KNOW. Which, actually, she is looking forward to, but still.]

I could see if maybe Ed or someone else would be into it.

Ed? Don't think I know him. Sure, invite more people, and we'll get some tents and the like. I'll ask around!

He's pretty cool, I guess. You might like him.
