It's Just For Laughs || Luke&Oliver (Flashback)
Training, thinking, working out, it all took a toll on Luke. He was exhausted and frankly ready to fall over on the spot and sleep for a week. Finally, the boy feigned a stomach ache to get out of his workout early and go back to his room to take a much needed break, though he knew most of the others didn’t believe in breaks. It didn’t matter, though. Luke was beyond desperate. He’d take ridicule from the other trainers and graduates if it meant he got a half hour to breathe and not think.
Something like that didn’t come easy, though. He had to dodge scientist and other members of STRATUS, because if he told them the stomach ache story, he’d be sent straight to the infirmary and it would cause the very opposite relaxation. In fact, it would probably kill him if they found out he was faking. They’d work him twice as hard, and then he would pass out at random from exhaustion. As if that wasn’t bad enough, someone else was in the room.
Luke could’ve sworn they had mostly everyone doing something that wasn’t located in their bedrooms. It was rare to see a healthy person in the bedrooms after lunch, if it even happened at all. Finally, the boy knocked and entered the small room, seeing a boy with hair in the form of a bush was present, and frankly Luke had never spoken to him before. He didn’t even know if the guy was new or not? “Sorry to interrupt you, but I think you should be down at training.” The boy plopped on to the bed letting out a happy sigh. He then looked around the other boy, his eyebrows pulling together in confusion that the sight of glue bottles around the area. “What are you doing?” Luke finally asked, trying to piece it together.
