Psh, Raleigh doesn't mind being obvious that much.

"Hold me to what?" Raleigh smirks at Chuck, shirt hanging open as he stuffs his hands into his own pockets, leading Chuck inside to the elevators and winking at the front desk girl on the way over.

If Raleigh was gonna change his mind, Chuck'd know it by now. They wouldn't be getting in the elevator and Raleigh wouldn't be swiping his card and punching the 17 button, and he sure wouldn't be pushing Chuck against the wall and wedging a knee between his thighs, mouth settling on Chuck's neck.

Yeh Chuck's not sure what to say when they part so. He grunts faintly and mutters something about Monday before shuffling towards his house.

...Yancy's not going to ground him, is he?

[driftsolo]

Yeah, Monday.

Damn Raleigh hopes not. But he probably is. Ah, well. It was worth it.

[simplepuzzle]

....what, really?

Hey, at least Chuck's not going to be as biting during lunch come Monday. So. That is something.

[driftsolo]

Well, you know. Yancy's kind of in charge of things since his mom died and his dad wandered off so if Yancy grounds him then it might as well be from a parent.

And Raleigh won't be as bitchy either, come to think of it.

Even if he's in the hot seat with his brother.

[simplepuzzle]

Nah, that's really no surprise about Yancy, Chuck'd be skeptical about the 'worth it' part.

And how hot can the seat be, seriously, Herc's military.

[driftsolo]

It's really not shocking, not. But you have fun with that, Chuck. At least Yancy isn't military -- yet.

[simplepuzzle]

Anyway. Chuck tends to eat alone at lunch, outside and on the steps.

Well yeah. He's pretty intense.

[driftsolo]

Oh you're so emo Chuck. Let Raleigh come be emo with you today. How is that.

[simplepuzzle]

He's not emo and it's not pathetic! He's just

Eating alone.

There's nothing wrong with it okay, he doesn't always eat alone just maybe he likes eating alone sometimes.

...hi, Raleigh, watcha doin.

[driftsolo]

Sure, Chuck. It's not emo or pathetic at all and sure you don't always eat alone.

...

He's eating lunch. What are you doing Chuck?

[simplepuzzle]

Not aaaalways sometimes he eats with other guys on the lacrosse team.

He rolls his eyes but doesn't move.

[driftsolo]

Awww, cute Chuckles the lacrosse player.

He can roll his eyes all he wants. Raleigh's going to happily go to town on this here sammich.

[simplepuzzle]

Mate, anything could be in that sandwich, Chuck is happy with his mashed potatoes and meatloaf.

....so are they supposed to talk or

[driftsolo]

Hey he brought it! Momma Yancy made it. It's good stuff.

Well Chuck's the one that made it all awkward and shit. Raleigh's just keeping him company. Kind of. By eating his lunch in silence because what do you say to your younger one night stand?

[simplepuzzle]

Awwwww. Sweet.

Uh. Chuck wouldn't know. He's not a--uh. One night stands--it was his first one of those things okay it's no big.

He picks at his mashed potatoes.

[driftsolo]

First one for Raleigh. Not first time, but uh. First time getting drunk and banging someone in a guest room.

"You alright?" Stop playing with your food.

[simplepuzzle]

Y-yeah that was totally the same first Chuck was talking about too yeah.

"Yeah?" He shoots a look at Raleigh like to ask 'why?'. "Chemistry test later."

[driftsolo]

"Good luck on that," he mumbles, polishing off a final chip and taking a swig of gatorade. "Chemistry's a bitch."

[simplepuzzle]

"It's not too hard," he shrugs carelessly, rolling his eyes.

It's not like he's a terrible student. Too terrible.

And he'll play with his mashed potatoes if he wants.

[driftsolo]

Raleigh's not shabby himself, but, you know. He doesn't really play up his abilities, instead preferring to kind of coast along easily.

"Lemme know if you ever need help." Hahaha, yeah right, but at least the offers there.

[simplepuzzle]

Whereas Chuck tries to overexceed.

He shoots him another skeptical, confused look. "....doubt it."

But. "Thanks."

[driftsolo]

Raleigh hardly has to try to be awesome. Poor Chuck.

He's waiting for something full of more venom, but it doesn't come. He grins, and shrugs.

"Sure. Just lemme know."

[simplepuzzle]

Ugh what a jerk.

Yeah well, Chuck's eating, his blood sugar's fine and he's in an okay mood. "You didn't save your old tests, did you?"

[driftsolo]

He wads up his lunch bag and snorts quietly.

"Nah. Threw all that away. Remember a lot, though."

[simplepuzzle]

"Well, that's useless." Chuk finally scoop a large forkful of potatoes into his mouth just so he can roll his eyes at Raleigh and not be required to answer immediately.
