Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[bigdamnprincipal]

Whatever aspect of the island made sure the weather was nice on picnic day didn't seem to be able to control the temperature. It wasn't freezing, but it would definitely more comfortable out on the lawn with a coat on. Thankfully, the conditions were just right for a bonfire in the center of the lawn, so people could gather and stay warm once they'd made their introductions.

Once the tables and chairs were set up and everything was properly glittered, all that was needed were people!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Steve didn't jump out of his skin because he was a professional, darn it, but he did use his thumb to rub at the ring on his left ring finger. "No, I'm just a soldier," he said with a quick smile.

Look, Steve could be literally at the altar with Tony and Faye would be acting like this, still.

"You don't say," Faye's smile was slower as she inclined her head curiously at him. "I for one feel very safe knowing you're in charge of protecting people, then."

Because that's what soldiers did, right? Sexily protected people with their dreamy biceps, mostly?

That's definitely what the fanfic thought!

"So what do you normally do?" Steve asked. "Since teaching is a new thing for you."

"I work at the gun store," Faye told him easily. "Crash-landed my ship here 'bout a month or so ago - I was looking for Callisto, kinda overshot - and decided to stay. Met a guy in a bar last week who told me all about teaching and I decided to give it a whirl."

John had mostly let her know that there were free vacations involved and that the school board appeared to have incredibly low standards, was the thing.

"Where's Callisto?" Steve asked, frowning thoughtfully. "I don't know that...planet?"

City? Village?

"Moon of Jupiter," Faye offered helpfully. "Where - when - I'm from, it's a black market populated almost entirely by guys."

So, like, if you had any lingering doubts about what kinds of things Faye was into, Steve....

The blush had returned in force so Steve had put it together, yeah.

"Oh. That sounds like a...fun adventure?"

Or it would be without the judge-y face you were giving her, Steven.

Faye was basically immune to judgement!

"Would've been if I'd made it," she decided. "On the other hand, Earth is barely populated when I'm from, so this is really the fun adventure. So much water here. So many friendly people."

She was still hitting on him, yes, but she also totally meant it because people were generally not at all friendly in Faye's time.

"They really are," Steve said earnestly. (Steve said most things earnestly.) "And as your school-assigned Buddy, I'm here for most questions!"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2021]

[flourish_or_perish]

"How much can you bench-press?"

Look, Steve, you couldn't just say 'most questions,' to someone like Faye.

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2021]

[heroic_jawline]

"Um." Steve ran a hand through his hair. "1500 pounds or so?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Spring 2021]

[flourish_or_perish]

"Shit, really?" Okay, Faye was actually impressed, there. Not just oh-wow-you-big-strong-man faux impressed, like she was planning on being, and she actually dropped the act a little out of surprise. "That's - a lot."

"I threw a rickshaw at a bear the other weekend," Steve offered.
