Closed Post the First - 'Homework'

[fateunknown]

It was either dumb luck, some weird form of coincidence, or just seats being full elsewhere that found Terra and Riku having two or three of the same classes that term. Sure, they were all the basics that nearly every degree required, but Terra knew for a fact that they offered them at different times and with different teachers for the sake of convenience. How had this happened?

There was, thankfully, something positive about sharing classes with someone you already knew - it made things less awkward when suggesting to study together. Not much less, but Terra saw it as a win/win. Riku actually enjoyed math, and Terra tended to surprise people when he admitted to liking ancient history. The work would get done faster (probably), and they'd be less bored while doing it.

Well. Mostly. That part might have been true if the library had been open.

Which was how the two found themselves in Riku's living room, using the coffee table as shared desk space and with Terra trying to stay focused on the task at hand. Easier said than done, when you could feel the disdain directed at you from across the house.

Somehow, Terra was getting the distinct notion that Riku's mother wasn't overly fond of him...
