[ double-checks that everything in the house is straightened and in its proper place, despite having cleaned everything earlier that morning. a few peeks up the stairs towards her brother's room is the only other movement she makes besides nudging things here and there, taking a seat on the edge of a chair when she realizes that it probably won't be very long now. is quite aware (was made aware) that her brother had tricked anthony into thinking they were going to meet at twelve instead of twelve-thirty, but still can't help but glance outside the front window every few minutes to make sure that she would be there when he arrived. ]

Yes, of course! Please, go have fun.

[ nods, tucking his cellphone into his pocket before grabbing anthony's sleeve to pull him towards the door. ]

We'll be going, then.

[ drags his feet for the first few steps in panic until his logic snaps back into place. just the mall. just the mall. looks over his shoulder at anne as he follows along (slowly, while he tries to detach himself from the captain's grip). ]

See you later.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't let go, not even when he slips his shoes on and allows anthony to do the same. it's only when they're out the door that he removes his hand, beginning their short walk to the garage. ]

Have you gotten your final grades back yet?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ somehow manages to fumble on his own shoes & pick up his helmet through it all, only pausing when they're outside & he's able to process the question. ]

Some of them, yeah.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ opens the garage, turning to look at him as he waits. ]

And?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shrug. ]

I didn't fail anything.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, seemingly satisfied. pulls out his keys, unlocking the doors to his car (http://i55.tinypic.com/nmdzwk.jpg). ]

Keep your grades up. I will have no choice but to relieve you of your position if your grades slip.

[ stares at the car for a moment. ]

An escape route? I'll keep that in mind.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Funny.

[ & then he opens the door to the driver's side, slipping in. ]

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stares for another moment, then strolls to the car. knocks on the window. ]

Which mall?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ stares back. starts the car, rolling down the window. ]

It is not right around the corner. [ opens the passenger's side's door. ] Get in.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ gestures a little. ]

But. Tinkerbell? I don't want to cheat on her.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

She will be quite alright without you, I am sure.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

She's moral support.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Get in the car.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

You can't make me disloyal. No sir.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I will drag you inside myself if I must.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ takes a weary step back. ]

I'd like to keep my manly dignity.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ sighs, tapping a finger on the steering wheel as he relaxes back into his seat. ]

Then come.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ steadily breaking. ]

I can. . . follow. . .?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Would you continue to be so reluctant if I said that Anne had wanted this?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ twitches a little. ]

That's cheating. She always wants what you want.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

On the contrary. It was not my idea in the first place.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ both eyebrows go up. ]

What? Really?
