Drabble for Ree
May. 28th, 2008 08:36 pmI'm rusty at this fandom, so pardon if it's not up to par
"So this is it?"
Calvin nodded. "Yeah."
"They never look the same once you're grown up," Jason said.
"Yeah," Calvin said again.
Jason lifted one brow at Calvin's subdued tone. "I guess it was a bit different, for us."
Calvin snorted, and finally smiled, eyes sparking with mirth as he turned his head to look at Jason. "Yeah, you actually liked going. Me, it was a living hell. I fucking hated it." He turned to glare at his school again, expression returning to Brooding Calvin Mode. As cute as it was, Jason preferred his boyfriend happy. "I cannot imagine why you liked it."
"I liked the learning," Jason said. "I liked being smart." He shrugged. "To be honest, I sort of failed at all the rest of it, and the older I got, the more the rest of it mattered." He laughed. "I tried hard, though I will say most of my most gloriuos succeses were pure accident." He nudged Calvin's shoulder with his own. "As hard as I tried, I only got lights and sirens once in my whole career. How many times did the cops come after you?"
Though he shrugged it off, there was no missing the slight flush to Calvin's cheeks. "A few," he muttered, then smirked at Jason. "But never the FBI."
It was Jason's turn to brush a comment aside. "I didn't mean to do it. LIke I said -- total accident. You...man, yours were all design."
"Not the early ones," Calvin muttered, but smiled faintly.
Jason nudged him again, wondering how much hell he'd catch for kissing a boy in front of an elementary school. "So are we going in?"
Calvin frowned at him in confusion. "In?"
"Yeah, in. Aren't we taking a tour of your old schools and stuff?"
This time Calvin's cheeks didn't turn pink, but a definite red. "Uh, yeah, but I didn't mean we'd go in." He turned hastily away
Jason grinned, and yanked him back, sliding an arm around his waist. "Why not?"
"No reason," Calvin said.
Snickering, Jason gave his lips a brief peck. "Why?"
Calvin heaved an aggrieved sigh. "Because maybe on my last day I did something that resulted in a great deal of property damage, and I'm not allowed on the premises for about three more years."
Jason threw his head back and laughed. "Every time I think I know everything about you, I realize you still have depths." He cupped Calvin's face in his hands and kissed him soundly. "You are never boring." His eyes gleamed. "So what did you do? Explain this 'great deal of property damage' to me."
Rolling his eyes, Calvin tugged him away from the old school and led the way down the street -- toward the middle school, Jason thought, and kept their arms linked as Calvin explained what, exactly, had happened to one third of the school and all of the playground.
"So this is it?"
Calvin nodded. "Yeah."
"They never look the same once you're grown up," Jason said.
"Yeah," Calvin said again.
