THE ECCENTRICITIES OF SKYHOLD HIGH
FRIENDLY CHATTER
"And here I was, thinking that you shipped Rutherford and Lavellan" Amanda said sarcastically.
"Oh, I do!" Answered Michelle excitedly, not noticing - or not caring - about Amanda's tone, "But you gotta admit, the way teacher Varric deals with coach Cassandra and how she responds to him is adorable!"
Amanda raised her eyebrow at her friend as if she were insane.
"'Adorable'?" She repeated, "Coach looks like she's about to kill teacher Tethras more often than not!"
"Exactly!" Michelle squealed.
"What...?" Amanda deadpanned.
Before her friend could answer they were shushed by Danielle, another friend of theirs, who was standing just outside of the Literature class, looking in.
Michelle immediately quieted down and went to stand beside the other. Amanda followed slowly.
"What, what's going on?" Michelle demanded.
"Iron Bull is talking to Varric about something! And I can swear I heard coach's Cass name!"
"Ooooh! Nice!" Whispered Michelle. Amanda shook her head and was about to say something when the two other girls pulled her behind the wall to listen in as well.
"I don't know what to tell you Tiny, really. I really didn't say anything to upset the Seeker." Their teachers were silent for a bit before Varric completed, "This time around."
"Hah! What you both consider something offensive are quite different, Varric. " Their Physical Education teacher answered, and the girls outside could hear the humour in his voice.
"I know, Tiny. But usually when she's pissed at me is because I wanted to tease her. I really don't know what it could be this time." Their short teacher sounded, at least, a little amused.
"Well, she certainly seemed pissed when I saw her earlier. And isn't on Tuesdays that you spend the first free time together doing... whatever?"
"They wh-!?" Michelle started saying - a little too loudly - before the other two girls covered her mouth with one hand each - Danielle because she wanted to hear the rest and Amanda because she so did not want to get caught.
"-why I am saying that I didn't say anything to annoy her, Tiny! We were rather... friendly today. It was a friendly chatter." Varric said, sounding thoughtful.
"Friendly" Muttered Michelle under their hands, excitedly. Amanda rolled her eyes; her friend's face was basically glowing.
"Hah! Friendly!" Bull's voice boomed in the classroom along with his laughter. "So you finally decided to give into that sexual tension between the two of you, and you choose to go with flirting instead of making out?! Damn Varric, I thought you were better than that!"
Amanda didn't have to, but looked over to her friends. Her own surprised showed clearly on the other girls' faces (even though they talked a lot about it, to actually find 'evidence' on their ships was rare - specially relating to Coach Pentaghast), thought theirs was accompanied by the most huge grin she'd ever seen. Kind of scary, really.
"Tiny!" Varric yelped, laughing. And although Amanda would never admit it, she really wanted to look inside to see her teacher's face, because from the sound of it all, it was quite possible that Varric blushed, blushed. Michelle's hand suddenly grabbing hers tightly showed that she felt the same.
"What?" Bull asked, innocently. "You two hide behind this angry banter since before I met you, but I know you care about her, and she about you. It's high time one of you do something."
"Should I give the same advice to Sparkler, then?" Varric asked, and all was quiet for a few seconds.
"Sparkler?" Amanda whispered at the other two.
"Pavus" Both answered immediately.
"Ah."
"Hah, might be a good idea, you know." The physical education teacher's tone sounded excited at the prospect, and Amanda's friends chuckled quietly. "Well, in any case. You should talk to her. She sounded upset. And you never know, something more might happen."
None of the girls had to see his face to know that Iron Bull was wiggling his eyebrows; and even Amanda had to hold back a chuckle at that. The Iron Bull was really funny when he wanted to be. And she still had a hard time thinking of his nickname without laughing. Adam had told her the teacher had gotten it way back when he was in the army. His companions had called him that because of his build and ferocity and it had stuck.
"Just go away, Tiny. Our students gossip enough already without you putting more ideas in their heads." Varric said, but it was clear he didn't actually mean it. After all, professor Tethras was one of the teachers who most liked to tell these kinds of tales to the students. Apparently he was really protective of Cassandra. Huh, Amanda furrowed her brows, before shaking her head. That didn't really mean anything.
"Hah!" Bull laughed again, "I don't really think they need any more help. I swear that these kids have more imagination then you sometimes, Varric."
So intense were the three girls in listening to their teachers words, that they did not pay attention to any other sounds.
"Besides," Bull's voice sounded much louder suddenly for some reason. "They are more resourceful than we think. See you later lovebird"
Amanda and the others barely paid attention to Varric's chuckle because, out of nowhere (to their distracted minds), a huge shadows was over them. Teacher Iron Bull was standing just out of the door, looking at them with a grinning face.
Danielle opened her mouth to say something (though Amanda had no idea what they could say) when Bull raised his hand slightly to stop her. Winking and still grinning, the Bull started to walk away, whistling. Behind him, the three girls looked at each other - two grinning just as largely as the teacher that had just left, the other, looking very, very relieved.
