❛   there’s nothing wrong with being a rabbit. everybody likes rabbits. they’re cute.    ❜  he’s not denying the comparison though.

❛    you’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?    ❜

@exceptone​​ :    "Let me make one thing clear to you, punk." Okay, maybe cornering him and glaring and talking like a delinquent is overdoing it, but Piper's nothing if not dramatic, and selling it well to boot. ( it's not like piper is actually concerned that the wannabe honor student would intentionally hurt her. and piper has unintentionally hurting her down pat. ) They glower at Deuce with the energy of a deeply concerned older sibling. "If you so much as consider breaking Barbara's heart, I BREAK YOU. We clear?"

ordinarily being approached in this manner tends to trigger his bad boy mode. but the mention of barbara changes that this time around. does this diasomnia guy know about them? how did it get out? deuce hasn’t told anyone except his mom ( which he got permission about ). that in addition to the threat makes deuce straighten, eyes wide as he stares back at the upperclassman. ❛    yes sir!    ❜  wait he can’t confirm that he’s seeing barbara that’ll ruin everything. he’s gotta play dumb. ❛   i mean! -- i’m not seeing barbara! who’s barbara?!    ❜  not that dumb! 

[unblot]

❛    miss barbara? do you have a second?    ❜  he’s been wanting to talk to her since the incident at the concert a couple weeks ago. he just didn’t know how to put it in the right words. he still doesn’t. but deuce thinks this is too important to not bring up.

@quatred​ :    "you're an only kid, right?? no older sister or anything??" a shame, in cater's eyes, and he gives a dramatic little sigh. "if you did she'd be sooooo adorable ~ your mom's, like, such a cute milf. ☆" in his defense, he might be a little stoned. not that it matters.

❛    an older sister? no actually ---    ❜  unfortunately deuce already has a feeling where this is heading before cater even mentions his mom. in the past most of the time when he was asked about a sister it had to do with his mom. either because they were looking for a more age appropriate lookalike or because her mom was mistaken for his older sister ( something unfortunately inevitable due to her young age ). so cater’s next statement is not entirely surprising. however it is phrased much ruder than deuce is used to hearing it. 

the first year’s face immediately twists into a look of fury, red hot anger bubbling in his chest. to use a word like milf to describe his mom is just so unbelievably disrespectful. sure his mom is beautiful but she’s so much more than that. she’s kind, hardworking & so, so smart. & even if someone was to compliment her appearance they should do it in a way that’s worthy of her! milf is so...vulgar & even a delinquent like deuce knows it’s not right to call women such demeaning things. 

he moves without thinking. right hand raising to slam his fist into the side of cater’s jaw. ordinarily he’d do his best not to immediately resort to violence, but at present deuce is unable to think of any way to express how he feels without taking it physical. the boy straightens, rubbing the sore spot of his knuckles as he says. ❛    don’t you ever call my mom that, understand? she is a lady to be treated with respect!    ❜   with that most of his initial anger dissipates. despite this being for her sake, deuce knows his mom would be upset if she knew he was starting fights again. though his glare still lingers as he nearly barks.  ❛    wait here, senpai. i’m going to get some ice for your face.    ❜ 

[unblot]

❛   miss barbara?    ❜  deuce looks almost tentative, unsure of whether he should speak up or simply leave her be. he’s never been the best at garnering what’s appropriate in terms of talking to girls. but -- barbara looks a little more antsy than usual tonight & it wouldn’t feel right to just leave her alone.  ❛   do you need someone to walk you home? it’s getting kinda dark out.    ❜

@fluminas​ did not ask & yet

@tsukimyo​:    ace cups deuce’s cheeks and randomly plants a kiss on his lips out of nowhere. then he dips and dives into his covers, pulling them over his head.

the kiss is unexpected say the least. deuce has hardly been paying attention to his surroundings since he started working on his homework, only realizing ace was approaching him moments before he’s ambushed with a kiss. the first year freezes up, the pencil in his hand abruptly falling to the floor as he stares there wide eyed. deuce’s moment of stunned speechlessness gives ace plenty of time to run & hide under his covers. however the moment deuce’s brain catches up on him he’s on ace like jam on toast. 

deuce spares his usual air of caution he usually has when dealing with others. instead he moves to immediately pull the covers off ace with a strength he usually saves for unavoidable fist fights. ❛    oi!    ❜  he grunts, his face already growing a deep shade of pink as he sends a glare in ace’s direction.  ❛    the hell was that for?    ❜

[unblot]

deuce sees a familiar head of red hair & immediately makes a beeline in the opposite direction. it’s the completely wrong way to class but it’s fine. he can be late to class this once.
