(h-h) "Not so much plants as Not Bullies." Jus laughed. "I've been (tic) ticing like all he(tic)-hell today. The bu(tic)- bullies, or should I say everyone decid(tic)-decide that the worse my ticing is, the bigger assholes they should (tic) be." Jus sat down on the table(h-h, l). "Why do you come out here?"
lanno sat down on the stool again, facing the table.
"… i guess, partially the same reason. the biggest one is that i have to take care of the plants. the science teacher is… worthless. i almost think of them as my kids now." he forced a dry laugh.
"the second reason is that the teachers are dumbasses, and i'd rather flunk out of this hell school and go home for good than deal with them. the third, well. i get jumped at every turn. they think since i can put up a fight it's appropriate to make me fight."
"People have horseshit for brains at th(tic)- this hellhole of a school." Jus smiled and blushed a bit. "Maybe we could raise these (tic) kids together? Like hell I'm going back there (tic), Lanno Austrailian." Lanno Australian. Really, Jus, that's the best Star Wars pun you could come up with?
lanno raised an eyebrow at him, briefly giving a rare smile. it was quick, a quirk of his lips.
"sure, jus. you wanna know how to repot a plant?"
"Why not?"
(time-skip to the final bell? they can exchange numbers or something and we can rp the texts)
(yeah! you want to start?)
(sure!)
Brring! The shrill sound snapped Jus out of his plant-potting haze. "Shit on a stick. Hey(tic), what's your number, Lanno?"
"uh. here." he slid off the stool once more to grab a notebook from his bag and rip a piece of paper out, snatching a pen from the table to scribble his number down.
"there you are, mate. i'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"
"Yeah. I(tic) will see you tomorrow."
As soon as Jus left the greenhouse he texted Lanno.
hey! its jus :)
lanno jumped as his phone buzzed, but yanked it out of his pocket to see the notification. he smiled as he replied,
aye. you have the right number
haha, great! thanks for letting me stick around, i now know more about repotting plants that i will ever need to :)
need to? if we're gonna be friends, you're legally required to help me in the greenhouse. you've only learned a bit of the trade. prepare your ankles, cutie.
oh noes haha
so are you saying you want me to keep helping at the greenhouse?
yeah, pretty much. it's more of an offer than a request. any time it gets to be too much, i'll be waiting for you, or if someone starts a fight you can just text me. that sound good?
yeah, actually, that'd be wonderful. you're very kind, lanno :)
(will they become more than friends? or do you wanna keep it platonic? pg-13 or below please)
(i dont mind either way, but i was originally thinking romantic. and yeah they're not gonna fuck or anything they're like 15)
lmao. only you'd say that, jus.
(fair fair so romance then? i mean not yet but later?)
lmao i'm stuck in the early 1900s i guess
sorry ahaha its dorky
Oh shit, I like Lanno! Jus thought. Why else would I be this dorky?
(guess so!)
sksk no, i mean only you'd say i'm any form of nice. i like how you said that though, it's cute.
lanno sighed as he stepped off the bus. home, sweet home.
Jus was redder than a tomato.
sksksksk im sorry haha
i don't get why people think you're mean! you're really kind :)
aw, shit kid, you don't know even a third of it. that's nice of you to say, though. i look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
he flopped down on his bed, propping himself up to keep texting.
kid? i'm willing to bet i'm older than you. august 18th is my birthday.
also, why do i not know? i feel like people don't take the time to get to know you. from the greenhouse, you really are the first peer to not make fun of the tics…
everyone is kid to me, i turn 16 in two days. and… well, sit with me at lunch. that'd be a good example. the tl:dr of my tragic backstory is that i'm australian and call people cunt as a friendly term. they didnt take that well.
ahh okay thats not good australia english isn't a good idea
also is that a lunch invite i spy?
it is, if you're so inclined. i have to go, but i'll see you tomorrow?
(timeskip to then after they say their goodbyes?)
oh okay! gnite!
(or let the evening pass for i too require sleep, we'll do a new day come the morning, gnite!)
