closed starter / @vanllacreme ! location: the deja brew. time: late afternoon. muses: bunnie & teddy.
“ i know we’re at the brew, ” bunnie is pulling out a textbook from her backpack as she talks, slapping it down on the two-person table they managed to get, “ but i’m gonna need you to pay attention, okay ? no getting distracted. time is money and i’m going to make sure you understand this material if it’s the last thing i do, ” it sounds a little threatening, the way she says it, like she really means that she’ll fight hades himself if she has to, but bunnie means it in a teacherly, supportive way. it just comes out of her mouth sounding like a warning. “ we’ll order drinks once but that’s it, no more distractions after that, so help me god if i see you on your phone or chitchatting around ! ”
it’s amazing how commanding a tiny person like bunnie could be, a feat that always catches teddy off his feet whenever he’s reminded about the duality of his classmate. he watches as she sets the textbook out in front of them with a distinct noise, having to lift his arms up off the table like she was setting a whole meal out in front of him and not their coursework --- it demanded his respect and ability to stay out of the way. ‘ uhhh, ’ he lets out with a breath, eyeing the papers, ‘ okay. ’ he then carefully moves to take out his own belongings : a used loose-leaf textbook in a beat up 3-ring binder and a spiral notebook filled with odd scratchings that looked like words and copious amounts of doodles in the margins. ‘ what do you want me to do first ? ’
