Physical Education, 4th Period - 5/31

When class arrived, there were dozens of red rubber balls awaiting them in the gym. This could only signal one sort of event for the day.

"Glad you all could make it," Guy said with a lazy drawl. "Since today's Memorial Day and I'm sure you're all itchin' to get out of here, it's gonna be an easy day. just a simple game of dodgeball."

Simple-ish game.

"Last person left standing, gets a free pass for the rest of the semester. Incentive enough for you kids? Get to it before I change my mind."

Because he was there and still Guy-like.

"Seriously. The rope and now this?" Gunn said ambling up to Guy. "Are we playing kickball next week? Or freeze tag?"

"I dunno," Guy replied slowly. "I was thinkin' hopscotch next week, but that might be too advanced for you."

"Yeah," Gunn said sarcastically. "All that hopping and skipping throws me off my game. Make me chew gum while doing that and you might as well put me in a neck brace."

"Fragile sorta guy, huh?"

"Yeah, if I get a hangnail the day's a total loss."

"We got a nurse I can send you to at least?" Guy asked, looking around. "No dyin' on my watch."

"How the hell would I know?" He was asking, wasn't he?

"Hey, man, you brought her up," Gunn said. "I'm going into the clinic she better be hot."

"Well, get yourself injured and we'll find out," Guy replied.

"Aren't you supposed to be some kind of role model?" Gunn chided. "Looking out for my well being? Seems to me that checking out a nurse shouldn't be too hard."

"If I'm your role model, you'll have learned what's right already. If not, I'll just have to keep makin' ya run laps until you do."

Re: Talk to Guy

[identity profile] bigbadgunn.livejournal.com 2010-05-31 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Now I'm running laps?" Gunn groaned.

"If you wanna dick around," Guy replied with a grin. "Got a problem with it?"
puppy_fair: (Tentative)

... Zack had the nagging feeling that he'd totally managed to miss something important, here.

"Memorial day?" Look at him, looking all quizzical!

Re: Talk to Guy

"What, you never heard of it?" Guy, you know aliens. This isn't so weird.
puppy_fair: (Headtilt Pout)

Zack shrugged and looked about as apologetic as he possibly could.

"I'm not American," he explained. "I've been trying to keep track of all of the local holidays since I got here, but it seems like every time I blink, I'm missing one."

"It's to honor soldiers who've died," Guy replied, looking over at the far wall. "Give 'em a day to be remembered."
puppy_fair: (Sheepish)

Re: Talk to Guy

[personal profile] puppy_fair 2010-05-31 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh..." Zack was now rubbing awkwardly at the back of his neck with one hand, looking down at the floor. "I've known a few of those."

A beat. And then a tentative glance upward.

"How do they honor them, here? Back home, there isn't really anything like this. But it sounds... good."

Behold, Zack's astounding grasp of the adjective.

"Some people go to the cemetery and leave flowers." Like he should for Ted. After class. "Most people get together with family and eat more than they needta."
puppy_fair: (Woe D:)

"I see." Please, try to ignore the somewhat dejected puppy, here. "What do people do if they can't do either?"

Angeal didn't really have a grave. And Zack had run away from home.

"Or is any graveyard good enough?"

"As long as the thought's there, kid. I don't think they care if you go to the exact spot."
puppy_fair: (Hmmmm)

The smile that was toying on the edges of Zack's lips wasn't completely sincere, but maybe it would pass at a glance. He could hope, anyhow.

"Maybe I'll do that, then. With any luck, the flower shop will be open today even though it's a holiday."

And if not, he could swing by Fina and ask the dishes if he could steal one of their bouquets. Yes, instead of working his shift today. They'd understand.

"And get together with friends," Guy said idly. "Have a barbecue or somethin'."
puppy_fair: (Sideways Smile)

Re: Talk to Guy

[personal profile] puppy_fair 2010-05-31 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, Zack really wasn't made for this holiday. After that whole to-do with being a vampire, twice, he was pretty much exclusively a vegetarian.

But the getting together with friends part...

"That much, I think I can do." The smile just turned a shade more sincere. "I mean, I can hang out around a campfire any day, but... hey. Today, too."

"Add in some s'mores and I'm sure people'll join in."

Guy understood the nature of the teenager. Food trumps all.
puppy_fair: (Big yap)

Re: Talk to Guy

[personal profile] puppy_fair 2010-05-31 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, Zack was pretty much convinced that Guy was the smartest teacher in the universe, now.

"I think I can toss together the ingredients easily enough," he replied. It was something short of a chirp, now. "Thanks!"

Because Guy totally was, okay?

"Now get back to playin'."
