Title: Detention Duty!

Drabble Challenge: AU

Prompt: High school AU!

"...and then he threw the eraser at my head!" Zack wailed, and Angeal had the hardest time fighting back a grin. That sounded like Gen, all right.

"Well, Zack, you know you can't do that sort of thing," he finally said, just as he lost the battle against the grin.

"But Mr. Hewley, English class is boooooring," Zack wailed melodramatically. "Especially when Mr. Rhapsodos starts quoting things. It's like he won't shut up! Oh, wait, I don't think I should have said that..." Zack said, looking guilty.

"You're already in detention," Angeal said, trying not to laugh. "Just be glad I got detention-monitor duty this week, and not Mr. Rhapsodos. Or Mr. Hojo," Angeal said raising an eyebrow. Sephiroth was notorious for how strict he was when he was stuck with detention duty, to the point where some kids and begged for suspension instead. But then, very few students in detention liked finding themselves with 'busywork' that consisted of pages upon pages of high-level calculus.

...although, Angeal thought with a chuckle, he suspected very highly Zack would have gotten off fairly lightly with Seph, had he found out Zack was in here because of just what it was he'd managed to do to Gen's copy of Loveless.

Omake: (stemming from a convo on how detention with Seph would suck, until… "And then Zack got ahold of his detention schedule and began Operation: Get Mr. Hojo To Lighten Up, Or At Least Crack A Smile.")

"Sephiroth, shouldn't you just give it up?" Angeal said, shaking his head. "You don't have to write up everything for his permanent record."

Sephiroth gave him a glare. "Favoritism is unbecoming, Mr. Hewley."

Angeal rolled his eyes. "It's got nothing to do with favoritism, and everything to do with the fact that Zack's file will no longer fit in the file cabinet."

"That makes it all the easier for me to ind it for the next time," Sephiroth said flatly, and put a paperweight down on the folder to close it.
