[ stretches when p.e. class is finally over, feeling a little bit like jelly, a little bit like a boulder & a little bit of weakling. shakes his arms a bit to free himself of that feeling, rubbing the back of his neck as he silently tells himself that though the class would only grow to be more strenuous as the semester goes on (especially during the stress-high weeks of exam prep), he'd still enjoy it, not regret it. etcetra. but at the moment, he stinks, even to himself. after spending a rude amount of time at the water fountain (drinking his fill, ignoring his surroundings as usual), he changes directions toward the lockers, intent on taking a quick shower, changing out of his gym clothes & perhaps heading home early for the day. ]

[ completely ignores that, leaning forward a bit in his seat. ]

What's your schedule like?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Thursdays aren't free. Weekends are work. Lyssa and Tony get dibs. Everything else is hackable.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

You're done with work for the day, then?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Uh. . .

[ thinks about his answer. then decides (cautiously) that pain & suffering is over for the day. nods slowly. ] Why?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ stands and flips out his cellphone, looking through some things as he speaks. ]

We're going out.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stares at him blankly. ]

I'm taken.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I was not speaking in a romantic sense. [ glances at one more thing before turning all of his attention on anthony. ] We're going out to celebrate.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ dislodges himself from the wall to finally reclaim his path toward the showers. ]

Celebrate? [ rolls his eyes up at the ceiling. ] For surviving Tryout Bootcamp?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

In a manner of speaking. [ doesn't follow him, arms crossing over his chest as he watches the boy walk off. ] Mostly for you passing.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ ...

stops. turns half-way, looking skeptical. ]

Spartans don't joke, do they?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ lets that go right over his head, just staring at him with a flat expression. ]

You passed.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ turns entirely, raising his arms slowly in a 'banzai' fashion. even when they shake from the extra effort, he keeps them there as he speaks: ]

I don't think you stalked enough people.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I observed plenty of people. Most did not try as hard as you did today.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ finally lowers his arms. scratches at a cheek, shifting a little uncomfortably under the semi(?)-praise. ]

. . . Bench warmer?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Goalie.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

I quit.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

If you wish. I have ten other applicants dying for your position.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Some, literally. Do you have a lawyer?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I have two.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ ......... ]

I have new empathy and respect for my dad.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Where would you like to go to celebrate? I was thinking some ice cream would be best.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Somewhere with peanuts.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Ice cream can have peanuts in it. [ says it more as a statement rather than a correction. points towards the showers. ] I will wait here.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

I think you should wait out there.

[ points toward the door. ]

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but I'm comfortable right here.
