A/N: UDC 10 comes with an extra... bonus prompts.
Week One - Bonus Set
Imminent
It's Uniform Day when he first sees him, a small kid that didn't seem to fit in with others and wasn't sitting with anyone. What captures his attention isn't the uniform, but the days-old black eye and suspicious bruising on the kid's exposed arms. Also, and Nick took note of it because it was the lunch hour, the kid didn't have a tray and was doing homework instead. Frowning, he looked down at his own lunch, at the halved sandwich, and considered it.
After a moment, he packed his lunch back into the brown sack.
Erstwhile
It was a small thing amid a day of things, being hungry but unable to do anything about it. Homework distracted him, but only so much. Glancing up, for he was always wary of his surroundings, especially on Uniform Day when anything out of place could get him downgraded, Pete blinked in surprise to find another NJROTC member watching him, brown eyes studying him intently.
After a moment or two, the guy smiled. "Can I join you?"
Stunned, Pete simply nodded and the guy sat down. He's tall, gangly, and blonde.
"Someone hit you?"
Pete stared at him, then returned to his school work.
Perpetual
Slowly, because he didn't want to startle the kid again, he unpacked his lunch and then sat there for a minute, watching him. Then Nick shook his head in thought. "You hungry?"
The kid glanced at him, at the food with interest, and returned to the textbook. "Can't get lunch today."
"That's not what I asked."
A minute went by... "Yes."
Nick nodded and slid half of the sandwich over to him. "Here." A startled expression, and then the kid stared at him. "Go on. Mom makes the best baloney sandwich."
"But-"
Nick glared at him, interrupting the protest, and pushed it closer. Slowly, the kid accepted it with a nod of thanks.
