(Sounds good to me!)
Just another class. Finley just listened to the teacher talk and didn't really do much else. He did keep glancing to Ryoto. The teacher handed out a paper and asked people to work together on it. Finley looked at Rye, hoping they could work together.
Ryoto looked over at Finley and smiled once he realized that they had the same ideas as each other. He scooted his desk a bit closer, "Um so what are we doing again? I kinda zoned out…" He asked
"You know what… I don't know either. The paper should say something about what we're doing." Finley said as he started reading through the paper.
Ryoto looked at the paper, "Oh yeah…looks like we're typing up a report on Mount Everest…"
(Honestly I had no ideas so I'm just like welp my English class had to write reports on Mount Everest before winter break started so here we are…)
"Ugh… why can't we do something that is actually worth knowing… like world issues or something?" Finley said frowning. He saw students going to get laptops so he stood up. "I'll get one for you." He said turning away to get them without the frown anymore.
“True. World issues are more important…” He answered. Ryoto smiled, “Thanks Finley!” He called after him.
Finley came back with two computers and set one in front of Ryoto with a smile. "You're welcome." He opened it and got it started. "So, I guess we should start with research, yes?"
Rye nodded and opened his laptop, “Yeah we should.” He replied.
"K. I'll do you want to research the first half or the second half?" Finley asked. There were two parts to the report and if the divided up the work it wouldn't be as much.
"It doesn't matter to me, I'll do whatever you don't want to do." He responded.
"I could care less about what we're doing so I guess you can do the second part and I'll do the first," Finley said as he started a document and shared it with Ryoto so they could have everything in one place.
"Okay, sounds good." Rye replied and opened up his email to get onto the shared document.
Finley sighed and started researching. No matter how much he hates work, he's good at researching so this part was going to be pretty easy for him.
(Sorry, I haven't been very active recently. Would you like to continue this? And if so, time skip?")
(It's totally okay! I'd be down to continue it so yeah, time skip works for me.)
(Sounds good, I'll skip to lunch)
Ryoto was working in his third hour class when he heard the bell ring, Awesome! He thought as he stood up, Time for lunch! He grabbed his things and began heading to his locker.
Finley shot out of his seat as he heard the bell ring. He was very much ready for lunch and very much tired of his third-hour class. He was probably the first to leave the classroom, the teacher didn't even bother making him stay after. Finley was already halfway to the cafeteria before the mass of high school kids got there.
Rye put his things away and grabbed his lunch box before starting to head to the cafeteria, dodging the mass of students crowding the way.
Finley was already actually sitting down by the time he spotted Ryoto. He had pulled out his ramen and started getting it ready for the microwave. He saw Rye and waved to him, hoping the male would see him. Finley was all over when it came to who he sat with at lunch. Some days he sits with the girls from drill, sometimes with the dance team, sometimes alone, and sometimes with the theater kids since they don't judge him, at least not as much. Maybe with Rye being here, Finley won't feel so out of place.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ryoto noticed Finley waving at him. He smiled and waited for his conversation with another student to end before he made his way over to the other, "Hey Finley! Everyone is so nice at this school, it's great."
"Oh, I'm glad people are nice to you. Just… don't get mixed up with the cheerleaders or the drill girls… I mean I hang out with the drill girls since I'm in drill, but literally they are such bitches, so I only hang out when I'm desperate. The majority of the basketball boys are actually the worst too. Most other people are either pretty nice or at least decent people." Finley explained, even though he realized it was unnecessary afterward. He smiled and giggled to himself a little. "Sorry, that was unnecessary information." He said finishing with preparing the ramen.
Ryoto laughed lightly as Finley spoke, he smiled, "I haven't noticed since they seem really nice at the moment, but I'll take your word because you go here and have been with these people a lot." He sat down his lunch for a second before noticing what the other was making, "Have you ever had real ramen or udon for that matter?" He asked, pointing at Finley's lunch, "It's the best~"
"I mean, maybe they'll be nice to you since you're new and you're not me.'" Finley said, sighing. He looked up from his still unmade ramen and thought. "No I don't think so, but I bet it is the best. Maybe we should find a place in town and I can try it we can hang out and stuff."
Rye grinned and nodded, "Yeah! That would be awesome." He glanced over to where the jocks and cheerleaders were sitting at, "Why don't they like you?" He asked, turning back to Finley with a frown.
Finley sighed, his frown mimicking Ryoto's. "I wish I knew… they just always glare at me and ignore me and are just rude in general to me. Maybe it's since I'm a guy that's in drill and dance. And to everyone else that's like really weird or something. Maybe it's also that I have long hair for a guy and I dye it a lot and I have piercings and I paint my nails from time to time. And maybe it's because I accidentally came out to my drill team and the girls all told basically everyone in the whole schools… even the teachers know. Who knows, but they just don't really like me…" He explained, almost rambling. He sighed and looked at his unmade ramen. He glanced at Rye then got up to put his ramen in the microwave, frowning the whole time, even when he came back.
Rye blinked in surprise and answered Finley when he came back with his finished ramen, "I don't think any of those things are weird, to me at least. It's a shame they don't support you, because they really should. 'Treat others how you want to be treated', said by an American most likely, I dunno." He paused to smile before going on, "But anyways, I think it's all cool and I support you, I'm gay myself."
Finley offered a small smile. "Thanks… at least someone isn't an ass to me. And you see I guess it's not that hard for me to accidentally say things. I end up rambling and tell someone something I didn't necessarily mean to tell them." He said, "See there, rambling. Sorry about dumping a heavy conversation on you when I only met you a few hours ago…" Finley settled with eating his ramen, looking down at it instead of Rye.
Ryoto shook his head and pulled out his bento, "You're welcome and don't worry about it, it's good to talk about things you need to with others." He sifted looked through his lunch and held up a small half-circle dumpling, "Would you care for a gyoza? My mom makes them and they're really good!"
Finley smiled, honestly really glad Ryoto was so nice to him. It was nice to know he wasn't completely alone in everything. He looked up at Rye then at the dumpling. "Sure, it looks really good!" He said, going back being relatively happy. He took one more bite of his ramen then grabbed the dumpling the Rye offered him.
"Yup!" Rye mumbled in return, gyoza in his mouth. He finished chewing and spoke once more, "You should come over sometime, I think you'd get along well with my mother and sister."
