A:N// Oh snap, a fic with MULTIPLE CHAPTERS? BLASPHEMY! …Oh wait, they're not entirely related. That's better! Anyway, this has them in a school for art, so don't get confused. 8D
By the way, rubber cement is kinda like glue, only it's all goopy and it doesn't make the paper wrinkly. …8D
Rubber Cement
Ethan stood in front of the rack of rubber cement, taking bottles off the shelves and loosening them.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lucas asked.
"I'm taking the caps of these rubber cement bottles," Ethan said, not looking away from his work.
"You know it'll smell in here if you do that, right?" Lucas said.
"Y'know, I just thought someone might accidentally knock it down and spill it, but that sounds awesome! Thanks, Lukie!" Ethan said, giving him a thumbs-up.
"Yeah, whatever, let's just leave before someone comes in here," Lucas said. And of they went, to do whatever it was Ethan and Lucas did after school.
(I won't tell you, use your imagination. This isn't their story.)
A few minutes after they left, Silver entered the room. He noticed the rack of rubber cement and walked over, wondering why they were all open. "Jeez, these are all going to dry out…" he grumbled. He took a bottle off the shelf and screwed the top back on.
"Hey, I forgot my bag in here!" Lyra entered, well, quite loudly, the door slamming against the wall.
Unfortunately, this caused the rack to shake, and all the rubber cement bottles to topple down onto Silver.
"Ugh, see what you did?" Silver said in annoyance, attempting to wipe the rubber cement off of him. It didn't accomplish much except getting Silver's hands stuck on his shirt.
"Tch, it's not my fault," Lyra said.
"Yes, it is!" Silver said.
"Fine, I'll help you," Lyra said, walking over to him. She reached out a hand, but Silver grabbed it.
"Hey, if you do that, you're just going to…er, wait…" Silver said. He quickly found himself unable to remove his hand from Lyra's.
"Great," Lyra said. "Okay, so, you and I should both pull…"
Silver tugged in one direction and Lyra in the other, but Silver underestimated his own strength and they both toppled onto the floor.
Lyra fell on top of Silver and, as you could have guessed, she got stuck there.
"You just keep making things worse!" Silver said. His face was red, although more from embarrassment than anger.
"Hey, you're the one who pulled so hard!" Lyra said.
The two continued to go back and forth, their faced getting closer as they argued. Eventually, their lips accidentally met.
…And got stuck that way.
They were both speechless at that, and not because their lips prevented communication. The worst (best?) of it all was that they couldn't do a thing about it.
After a few minutes and the rubber cement's hold loosened, they were able to free their selves.
"Um…well…I guess I'll see you tomorrow…" Lyra said awkwardly.
"Er, uh, yeah…tomorrow. Bye," Silver said, just as awkwardly.
WHOO AWKWARDNESS. 8D If you love me, then you'll rate and review. SO LOVE ME K.
