Chapter 2
Are you in?
"Excuse me, Mr. Jones." Andy's voice filtered through the general murmuring of the corridor and Ianto stopped to look for the speaker.
"Mr. Jones." Andy called again as he drew nearer and he pulled at his Space academy uniform nervously.
"Andy" Ianto smiled as he noticed the young cadet's nervousness.
"It's here." Andy whispered with a nervous swallow as he showed Ianto his PDA. "From Starfleet."
Some of the other classes let out and the bright colours of the academy filled the space around them as the blue jocks intermingled with the red nerds and the yellow service teams. With many already sectioned into their specialist areas it was rare for a blue jock to even get a look at something that the reds usually got first dibs at.
"And? Hey, Joe." Ianto smiled at a passing yellow cadet who made the most amazing breads and then returned his gaze to the nervous young man.
"Will you open it?" Andy begged, "It'll make it easier."
"What if I..." Into started to push the PDA back at Andy.
"I mean, I'm not gonna get in." Andy shrugged with fake nonchalance.
"I bet it says, Andy whined, "Nice try, you Fracking Twat. You loser, get out of here."
"That's not quite the way they put it." Ianto said absently as he flicked the document open and began to read.
"Yes! You're in!" Ianto crowed, "Full scholarship!"
"Yes?" Andy gasped in shock.
"Way to go!" Ianto's smile turned to one of pride as he looked fondly at the young blonde man who was still digesting the news.
"Yes!" Andy yelled, punching the air and causing several cadets to step aside or face a thump to the head.
Ianto felt his chest heave with emotion as he realized that one chick was sure to leave the nest to a bright future. Not everyone was going to be as lucky this intake!
