mock trial scene | christian & franco | 5.2
It didn’t take long for Christian to realize that Franco wouldn’t be quite as fun as Violet. He was difficult, rude and very clearly uninterested in being in anyone’s good books, let alone the man he was supposed to be submitting to for the week. Christian was in the kitchen drinking his coffee. Violet was off utilizing the free-time she had earned and Franco, as per instructions was setting about cleaning the kitchen. Really, all Franco had done that week was clean and that was mainly down to the fact that every time Christian even considered loosening the reigns on the boy, he’d say something to piss him off again; like making Violet cry over a simple culinary mishap.
Christian trained his gaze on Franco, glared at him, really, before he spoke up. “Why did you sign up for the mock trial, Fogarty?” He asked coldly, sitting back in his chair as he did so. “Are you actually looking to learn anything through this? Because thus far, all you’ve earned yourself is chores upon chores. I’m not particularly fond of you, but if you think you can muster up the ability to behave, I wouldn’t be opposed to actually doing something academically productive - assuming you even want that.” @submissivexxfogarty
