[ having decided that meeting anthony half-way would be best for this particular... conversation, he walks a bit slowly, quite aware that his dorm was closer to the school than his friend-slash-goalie's house. (that and he would probably have to struggle with his mode of transportation for a while.) so instead of the usual ten minutes it takes him to arrive to this particular destination, he gives himself thirty, casually making his way to one of the benches underneath a tree.

takes a seat, pulls out his cellphone, then begins to check his messages as he waits; it would be at least another fifteen minute wait, one he was finally willing to be patient for. after all, he wasn't expecting much, anyway. when it came to feelings, expectations were the worst things to have, or so he had logically deducted throughout his childhood. besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if anything negative happened. this was anthony, after all, the boy who clucked and bawked louder than he spoke or made any semblance of sense with his words.

... it almost made him second-guess himself. almost.

pockets his phone and tilts his head backwards instead, letting it rest against the top of the bench. just simply stares up into the branches and leaves of the tree, allowing himself to show a rare display of being lost in some non-thoughts for the time being. ]

[ gets up to get him another sprite, speaking as she goes along. ]

How fascinating. Tell me more.

[ reaches out for the sprite almost pathetically. ]

Mom and dad have a fairytale story. They met in high school, committed for life, but we got game over anyway. I still have issues, I think.

[ lifts the sprite up high when she comes back, wiggling it above his head. ]

You probably need a therapist.

[ jolts to his feet & points at her. ]

Yeah! Yeah, that! I get that a lot. . . [ & falls back on his butt. ] That a lot. . . too.

[ snickers, taking a seat next to him. hands over the sprite. ]

I can see why. But don't worry, once you marry into the Spartan family, you get a therapist free of charge!

Cap~i~taaan~ is a good thera-- therapist. Too good. Hurts like a soccer ball on FIFA!

Well, I meant his uncle who's a real therapist. But sure, jerkoff is pretty good too.

[ tears up a little. ]

Therapists want my feathers!

PSH. They don't want a chicken's feathers. Not as valuable. They like money!

But my money is Tofu money. . .

[ wraps an arm around him, patting his shoulder. ]

There, there. I'm sure you'll make it work somehow.

[ immediately buries his face into her shoulder. ]

Messing. . . messing everything up. . . [ hic. ] Wah.

[ ... gives more pats. ]

I doubt you're messing anything up, chicken boy.

We need more sprite. I am too drunk! [ long pause. ] Sober.

[ takes the ~magical sprite~ in her free hand and pushes it against his nose. ]

Already got ya covered, baby.

[ takes it & gives her a wide-eyed stare of appreciation. ]

You are a wonderful rooster.

[ flips her hair a little, leaning back into the couch. ]

I know!

[ opens it & drinks & drinks & drinks. ]

It's a bright~ world~ [ pause. ] After all!

[ laughs and raises her own glass. ]

That's the spirit!

[ tips forward toward the now-empty can of sprite. ]

You know. [ hic. ] I liked him for a long time. Love, probably. Kinda like my dad. . .

[ settles back into the cushions, slowly raising an eyebrow. ]

Who're we talkin' about, here?

Not-- not cap-i-tan. Not long enough in his service. The other one. [ long pause. ] Tony.

Then why didn't you date him and not the other chick?

That's a bad story. Both of them.

[ ruffles his hair again. ]

You can talk about it if you want to. I've got enough alcohol in my system to listen.
