[ 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. ]

Home has its own share of distractions.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Excessive comfort.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I do not sway from my studies despite the comfort.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

. . . Of course Spartans don't.

But the rest of the population do.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

This is due to their lack of willpower. [ pauses a beat. ] Or perhaps they are just lazy.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Laziness is part of human nature.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

To some, yes.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ wisely refrains from adding that it's his preferred state. cranes his head beyond the street. ]

Are we there yet?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Almost. [ looks up from his cellphone, pocketing it. ] It's on that corner.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ & sure enough they come upon it just like he said, opening the door to step inside and raise a hand in greeting. ]

Hello.

[ turns around from serving a customer, eyes suddenly sparkling happily as she approaches michael and anthony. ]

B-Big brother! Good day!

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ peeks over at anthony curiously. ]

Oh, my. A friend?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

A goalie. [ gestures to the boy. ] Anthony. [ gestures to the girl. ] My sister, Anne.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ raises a hand in greeting. ]

Hi.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ reaches out to shake his hand. ]

Hello. It's very nice to meet you, Anthony.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ takes the hand, shaking it briefly enough to be tactful before pulling back. ]

Nice to meet you too, Anne. Do you have gummy worms?

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ blinks in confusion. ]

Gummy worms...?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ moves away to take a seat and sit while they have their formalities. ]

Anne. [ only continues talking when she turns to him instead. points to the table. ] Coffee.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

Oh! Y-Yes, I'm sorry.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

[ turns back to anthony, stepping a few paces away from him. ]

Is there anything else you would like?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ settles into the seat across from michael, blinking up at anne. ]

Do you have smoothies?

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

Yes, we do! [ leans over to open the small menu on the table, flipping to the smoothies section. points down at it. ] We have many flavors. If you would like, I can also have it customized to fit your taste.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ peers down at the menu curiously, going a little cross-eyed at the number of choices. just decides to go with something safe: ]

Uh. Strawberry and banana? Please.

[yaybrother.livejournal.com]

Of course! [ picks up the menus, tucking them underneath an arm. ] If you would like anything else then please don't hesitate to ask. I will be back shortly with some water.

[ & then she scurries off behind the counter. ]
