Chapter 2: Spies and Sunsets
"Lead the way." Sean said, holding the door open for Emi, who smiled warmly at him.
"Are you always this nice, or am I getting special treatment?" she asked jokingly, sticking her tongue out.
"You are receiving special treatment, just like every other lassie I talk to." He grinned and received a light punch to the shoulder.
"I'm surprised you could reach high enough to belt me shoulder." Sean said teasingly to the much shorter girl in front of him.
"Jerk" She said grabbing onto his arm and pulling him towards the exit of the nurses wing.
"We'll head by your dorm room first, 'kay?" She said, more of a statement than a question.
"I'll admit you are a fine bit of stuff, but I like a nice dinner before going for a ride." Sean responded, giving a shit-eating grin in her general direction, her response being to turn bright red for a moment, before giving a similar grin back.
"Like you would even have a chance."
"Hey, if I wanted I could turn you into me Bird so quick it would knock your runners right offya." Sean responded, pausing only when he realized what he said.
"Shit, I meant knock you flat on your arse."
Emi giggled slightly, ignoring the slip up.
"Is that a threat, or a promise?" she grinned up at him, pressing her finger to his chest.
"…Not many lass' can say they beat me in a competition like this." Emi smiled brightly at his statement and bounced slightly, 'feet' never leaving the floor.
"Good! Well here we are. I'll wait for you outside 'kay?" Sean turned to face her, still holding the door open.
"Why's that?"
"Girls aren't supposed to be in the boy's dorm area" Emi said flatly, shrugging slightly.
Sean nodded and smiled.
"I'll be right back then."
Sean gazed over at the elevator and frowned. Doctors had all told him that he was supposed to avoid stairs as much as possible, to make sure he didn't have an attack.
So of course Sean took the stairs.
"Bloody pathetic, a few fecking stairs and I'm out of breath already? Useless." Sean quietly muttered, noticing the scarf clad boy down the hall.
"Who goes there?!"
Apparently that was this boy's way of introducing himself.
"Name's Sean, how about you boyo, got a name?" The boy's ears perked up when he heard Sean's speaking voice.
"..Wait that accent…Are you an Irishman?" This boy was either racist or far too excited, and Sean had to resist the urge to leave to hallway.
"I am. Is that a problem?"
"Yes! No, I mean yes that's a good thing, not a problem…unless you're a spy. Are you a spy!" The boy grabbed onto Sean's shirt angrily.
"I am in me wick. Are you trying to imply something"
"Tell me then, how did you survive!"
"Boyo you are getting on my nerves right quick."
"I just want to know how you survived the feminist invasion!"
"I will rip your bloody he- Hold on, what?"
"Didn't Ireland fall to the Feminist Armies recently?! Teach me how you survived!"
Sean sighed before pulling the boy's hands off of him.
"You're not a full shilling are you?"
"No! I'm Kenji. And if you won't tell me your secrets I will be on my way." With that Kenji turned on his heels before unlocking what sounded like a fistful of locks, and hiding away in his room.
Sean chose to try to ignore the fact that he was living down the hall from a nut job as he dropped off the bag of meds in his room. He was relieved to find that it was actually a rather sizeable room, at least compared to the last room he was trapped in.
Sean made his way back down the hall towards the elevator, but was stopped by a voice from the other side of the hall yelling at him.
"I'M WATCHING YOU FEMINIST SPY!"
Sean just sighed and continued downstairs.
Emi greeted him with a smile.
"So how do you like your room?"
"It's basically a hollier compared to the last room I was trapped in."
"…What?"
"It's nice…the guy down the hall is a bit…well…he's bloody gone in the head"
Emi just laughed quietly.
"Is it Kenji?"
Sean nodded.
"Poor you…How about we finish your tour now? It's getting kind of late."
Sean noticed the position of the sun, and she was correct it was probably getting close to about five pm.
"Lead the way."
For the next hour or so Emi dragged, sometimes quite literally, Sean around campus, showing him their shared homeroom, the cafeteria, and every other building she could find.
Eventually though they made their way back to the track and were just sitting on the bleachers talking, with Emi using Sean's shoulder as a pillow.
"So then the bloody wanker calls me a spy, he's off his nut, that for sure."
Emi stifled a laugh.
"Well, how did you do it?"
"Whatchu mean?"
"How did you survive the feminist uprising?"
Sean laughed loudly, and grinned at her before leaning in closer.
"I dunaye, the lasses just seem to like me" Emi ginned at him, and gently pushed his face away.
"I find that hard to believe"
"Which part? That I survived a feminist takeover with my charm, or that I have any in the first place?"
"Both." Sean rolled his eyes.
"Well if you're going to be cheeky than maybe I'll just leave" Emi responded simply by giving the most heart wrenchingly adorable pout Sean had ever seen.
"…Or I could watch the sunset with you…You better not bloody fall asleep on me though."
"I won't *yawn*… promise."
She was asleep within ten minutes.
A.) Carry her back to her room
B.) Wait for her to wake up
Authors Note: So this is slightly shorter then I had hoped, I like to keep chapters at about 1000 words a piece, not including author notes, So I apologize for that.
Depending on how views and reviews turn up the next chapter may or may not be filler.
We'll just have to see how it turns up.
Thanks for reading!
