Expectations (Rated K+)

Rogue walked into the classroom and halted when he saw Natsu with his face scrunched up, staring intently at the laptop keyboard. He was about to open his mouth to speak when he heard Sting sigh from the desk next to him.

Tearing his gaze from the pinkette, he looked down at his friend, noticing the bored expression on his face. "If you're so bored, why don't you two do something while I finish up my club activities?" suggested Rogue. "You don't have to wait for me."

"I am doing something," Sting stated, lifting up a stopwatch and waving it in the air.

Rogue glanced back at Natsu—who was now sticking his tongue out of his mouth as he concentrated—before focusing on Sting once more. "Do I even want to know?"

"Um, I kind of told Natsu that there was only a twenty percent chance that a person could find the F13 key on the keyboard."

"There is no F13 key on the keyboard," Rogue stated matter-of-factly.

"I know that," Sting insisted. "But he doesn't."

"How long has he been at this?" questioned Rogue as he watched Natsu rub furiously at his eyes.

Sting looked at the stopwatch. "About thirty minutes, I guess?"

Rogue pinched the bridge of his nose. His high expectations for these two dropped every single day. "Sting, what did I say about things like this?"

Sting sighed in exasperation. "Never pick on people who are stupider than you."

"I've never said that!"

"I know. But you have to admit, it is kind of funny."

Rogue resisted the urge to smack him. "With how bored you seem, I'd have to say differently."

"I didn't know he'd be at it this long!" Sting protested.

Rogue shook his head slightly before clearing his throat. "Natsu, th—"

"Rogue!" the pinkette whined at him, looking absolutely crestfallen. "You broke my concentration!"

"Natsu, there's no—"

"Now I have to start all over again!" he screeched, tugging at his hair in angst.

"You can't be serious," Rogue mumbled.

"Do you know how hard it is to find F13? Do you?!"

"It's even harder to find the Undo key," cut in Sting. "Only about ten percent of people can find that one."

"Sting!"

"Wait!" Natsu interrupted, his head snapping back to the keyboard. "I think I saw that one!"

Rogue rolled his eyes. "I'm going to go…to my Student Council meeting. And let me know when he gives up this foolishness."

"Will do, Rogue. Will do," said Sting with a smirk as he restarted the stopwatch.
