Low Motivation - Legosi/You
School could be a wild card at times. It was either way too underwhelming, or it’d flip in a second and become way too overwhelming. To juggle your social life and studies along with whatever hurdles and drama life decides to throw your way- it’s a bit difficult!
Not to mention the addition of clubs. You had decided to take part in the News Club at the beginning of the new school year thinking it would be fun- but it turned out to just be a lot more work. Constantly interviewing students and trying to think of stories- editing articles and viewing potential pictures brought in by the photography club to put in the weekly school paper.
Usually you didn’t really mind- while the News Club could be a bit tedious and hard, you liked your club members and you liked writing. But finding motivation to work lately was... difficult. What with the numerous murders lately and the fact that people have been eyeing you and treating you differently lately due to the fact you were a predator- could anyone really blame you for being low on inspiration?
Regardless, you sat outside on one of the school’s numerous benches as you tried to think of something to do for your club. You have a hot drink sitting on one side of you in a paper cup, on the other side is a stack of papers of printed articles you found online and outside the school. On your lap sits a pad of paper and pen- no words are written down yet.
How long have you been sitting here? Looking down at your phone, you realize it’s only been about ten minutes.
“Aeugh!” You throw your head back in defeat as you groan, your hands covering your eyes and digging into your forehead. “I won’t get anything done at this rate...”
And then, as your eyes are covered, you hear a voice from above you. “What are you working on?”
Slightly surprised by the fact someone was around and you hadn’t heard, you jolt in your seat as you remove your hands and look behind you.
It’s a wolf- but not just any wolf. If your memory serves you right, the wolf was named Legosi... you think he’s in the drama club.
“O-oh, did I surprise you?” He notices your surprise and he immediately starts to hunch, his shoulders dropping as he waves his hands as an apology. “I’m sorry, I do that a lot...”
“Oh, you’re fine! I was just too caught up to notice you, I guess,” you disregard his apology easily since it wasn’t really needed. “I’m just trying to think of stories for the school paper... it’s kind of difficult.”
This seems to catch Legosi’s attention as his ears perk up just a bit, his eyes falling to your numerous papers stacked by your side. “The paper, huh?”
That’s all he has to say. A wolf of few words, then- but that’s okay. You hum at him with a nod. “With everything that’s been going on, animals are actually reading it for once. The news and stories we put into it are suddenly so much more important, since eyes are on us.” You frown and turn your back to him- the wolf was still standing behind you and you were getting a little tired of twisting to face him. “Want to move this way?” You ask him and you can hear him stumble a bit before he walks to the area beside you.
He hovers very awkwardly above you, standing instead of taking the seat next to you that you cleared. When you look back up at him you can see his eyes flitting around. His whole body suggested he was widely uncomfortable right now.
“Hey- if you wanna leave, that’s fine,” you laugh gently through your nose. “You don’t gotta keep talking to me if you don’t want to.”
“Well-“ he says quickly, before backpedaling a bit. “It just looked like you were really, uh... stumped, so I don’t have anything to do anyway, so...”
He wants to help if he can. That’s the message you’re deciphering anyway, but you can’t be certain since he refuses to finish his sentences. You pick up your drink and pat the area left behind. “You can sit if you wanna stay.”
Silently, he scoots to the bench and sits down. His shoulders are still hunched and he’s gripping his hands tightly between his legs- the wolf is as stiff as a board.
“Well... if you wanna help and give ideas, that would be great. I guess in the article I’m trying to find some more lighthearted things to write about.” You grab the papers beside you and hand them to Legosi, explaining yourself as he carefully looks through them. “There hasn’t been any clues or updates on the murders recently, and animals are really tense. If I can, I’d like to write an article about something that will get their minds off it a bit. But I’m not really sure where to start.”
“There’s a lot of stuff here,” Legosi mutters as he reads. “You’ve thought of a lot... it’s impressive.”
You smile genuinely at his comment, which makes him jolt a bit in his seat. You try not to take that part to heart as you continue to smile at him. “Thanks! I still don’t have anything, though.”
“Well, maybe...” The wolf pauses for a second, looking like he’s thinking as he hands the papers back to you. “I don’t know if it’s any good, but apparently people are looking forward to the next play. If you think it’s good, I could let you interview some of the actors about the upcoming show. Maybe the students would like that?” He sounds doubtful of your idea, but you light up at his suggestion.
“You really think you could do that for me?” You ask him brightly. “I wouldn’t want to inconvenience anybody if it’s too much trouble!”
Legosi seems surprised by your enthusiasm as he flusters before looking away, one of his big hands going up and scratching the back of his head nervously. “No, I don’t think it would. It would help us out by creating excitement for the play, and that would be a good article for you, probably... and it’s not about anyone dying, either.”
You nod along with Legosi as he talks, smiling again at him as you start writing on your pad. “That’s a great idea, Legosi! It would really help me out.” You finish writing and tear off the paper, handing the slip to him. He takes it slowly with two gentle fingers. “That’s my contact information. If you could tell me whenever your club is ready for a short questionnaire, that would be really great!”
He continues to look at the paper with wide eyes before they shoot to you and then back at the paper. “R-right. It’s... no problem.”
“Hmm, but still. Thanks for going out of your way to talk to me. You’re really kind, you know.”
The praise seems to make him even worse as he sags forward, not looking at you at all as his ears twitch. “I don’t know about all that...”
“Regardless of what you think about it, I still think you’re pretty nice.” You tell him simply and lean against the back of the bench. Watching Legosi and all of his mannerisms was certainly interesting, to put it lightly. He didn’t act at all like a typical wolf.
But maybe you should put him out of his misery and leave him alone now.
Carefully stacking all your papers and tucking them under your arm, you grab your drink and stand up. Legosi watches you silently, still sulking on his side of the bench. You give him another smile as a way to relieve him- but it doesn’t really work. “I’ll be heading out now and going back to my dorm. Thanks again for the help, Legosi. Give me a call whenever, okay?”
He stutters a lot so you leave him be and turn on your heel, walking off so that he didn’t have to try so hard to talk to you. Maybe if he gives you a call, he’ll get a bit more used to it. You’d certainly like it if that’s what happened.
