Issue 1 Downtime

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:54 am**

Rachel was done with her shift in the infirmary, and was walking across the gardens towards the dorms. She was moving quickly, trying to get to the dorm before anyone (Ryan) spotted her.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:01 am**

Ryan, on the other hand, was irritated as he stormed out of his power control class unnaturally early. So irritated, in fact, that he wasn't looking where he should... which was at Rachel as he knocked into her from the side. "Gah!"

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:05 am**

Rachel grabbed onto his shoulder to keep from falling "Ryan! Um, hi. Good to see you."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:17 am**

Ryan grabbed ahold of her to keep from knocking her over. "Oh god damn it... sorry," he said, looking embarrassed.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:23 am**

"Its ok." Rachel said, letting go of him as soon as she got her balance back.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:34 am**

Ryan sighed as she pulled back. "Are we still doing that, then?"

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:36 am**

"I'm sorry I've been avoiding you." Rachel said "I just...I have no idea where to go. What to say to you. What we are."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:41 am**

Oddly, Ryan cast a very irritated look back at the lighthouse at this. "What we are... Rachel, I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend. How can you not know that?"

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:43 am**

"Because after the other night..." Rachel sighed "I wasn't sure you wanted to be."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:46 am**

"What the... I..." he sighed, taking her hand. "Let's... not talk about this in the middle of the path here, okay?" he said, leading her off toward the gardens.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:54 am**

"Ok." Rachel said, taking a seat on the bench

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 3:48 am**

"Look," Ryan said, "If you're done with me, just say so."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 9:16 am**

"I'm not done with you. But that conversation we had last night didn't leave me thinking that....well, nothing did get settled."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:35 pm**

"Because you left before I woke up!"

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:36 pm**

"I had class."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 1:40 pm**

"How long after you left," he said, giving her a flat look.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 4:10 pm**

"I needed to shower. And eat breakfast. And avoid you."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 4:12 pm**

"All right, fine. I get it. Enjoy," he said, starting back toward the dorm in irritation.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 5:02 pm**

"Ryan, no." Rachel said "Please, I want to talk about this....I was just scared you were going to dump me."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 5:15 pm**

"Didn't we go over this? If I was going to dump you I'd have just done it right then." She could tell that he was pissed off... but by the fact that he wasn't blowing up at her, he didn't seem pissed off at her.

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:45 pm**

"Yeah, I know." Rachel said "But...you've been pretty pissed."

Posted: **Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:54 pm**

"Well I don't know what to do about it! And those little snots I'm supposed to be teaching just won't fucking quit it making those stories up!"

Posted: **Fri Apr 05, 2013 12:08 am**

"We don't need to do anything." Rachel said "You know its bullshit, I know its bullshit. Fuck what anyone else thinks."

Posted: **Fri Apr 05, 2013 12:27 am**

"Do you?" he asked, fixing his eyes on her. "Seriously and honestly, do you?" He... actually seemed to be legitimately asking, and... scared?

Posted: **Fri Apr 05, 2013 12:45 am**

"Yes, I do." Rachel said "I trust you. I try not to make the same mistakes twice." she said, smiling a little.

Posted: **Fri Apr 05, 2013 1:04 am**

He sighed. "Then stop avoiding me? Please? I... hell, I just tried running a whole class of those snots through hell because I thought you still didn't trust me... I can't deal with this without you."

Posted: **Sat Apr 06, 2013 10:50 pm**

"Shit." Rachel said "I didn't think....I'm sorry for pulling away."

Posted: **Sat Apr 06, 2013 10:59 pm**

"Nah, you didn't. Steph kicked me out of there for being an asshole," he admitted, reluctantly.

Posted: **Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:07 pm**

"Shit." Rachel said "I'm sorry. I hope that you don't get in trouble."

Posted: **Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:30 pm**

He shrugged. "If they don't need me, they don't need me. Just the way it is."

Posted: **Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:35 pm**

"Oh, for god's sake, Ryan." Rachel said "You got pissed off at your PC class and had to leave early. You and every PC teacher I ever had."

Posted: **Sun Apr 07, 2013 12:00 am**

"Really?" he asked. "I mean... I guess I could see it with Emma Frost, but I don't remember any of us being little shits to our PC teachers."

Posted: **Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:12 pm**

"Yeah, a lot of the kids I went to school with were." Rachel said "Ok, granted, they were spoiled little jerks, but these kids...they've been through a lot. Of course they're going to be snots."

Posted: **Sun Apr 07, 2013 6:34 pm**

"Yeah, well, guess it doesn't matter now," he muttered.

Posted: **Sun Apr 07, 2013 6:42 pm**

"No, it doesn't." Rachel said "You had a bad day, and you'll go back and it'll be cool."

Posted: **Sun Apr 07, 2013 6:53 pm**

"Don't think they're going to want me back," he said. "Don't think that I want to go back."

Posted: **Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:08 pm**

"Dude, don't burn any bridges that you don't have to burn." Rachel said "But maybe we should talk about it later."

Posted: **Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:00 am**

He sighed. "All right. Fine. If you want."

Posted: **Mon Apr 08, 2013 11:20 am**

Rachel moved closer to him and held him close "What I want is to make sure that you know that I love you."

Posted: **Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:35 pm**

He sighed, wrapping his arm s around her. "I... yeah. I do. And I love you too. I just... I don't know, I'm just a mess."
