Valin and Ozzie 12
Ozzie sits quietly in the Journalism room, leaning back in his chair and waiting for class to begin.
Valin moves quickly into the room, breathing rather quickly, "Ha! Safe!" Almost immediately as he says that, the bell rings.
Ozzie blinks, glancing up. At the mere sight of Valin he blushes a bit, looking down.
Valin walks over to Ozzie, leaning down and kissing the boy on the cheek, "Hey, love."
Ozzie blushes even more, keeping his eyes down, "Hi Valin..."
Valin sits down in his usual seat, sitting so that he is leaning on the back of the chair and looking at Ozzie. "Nay, nay. Why so red in the face, little one?" He smirks.
Ozzie mms quietly, "..well..you should..." he trails off.
Valin leans forward, smiling still, "Should what?" he pauses, after a moment asking, "...are you sore?"
Ozzie turns a deeper shade of red, if it's possible, "..not any more..."
Valin smiles, "Good. You held up better than I did the first time." He touches a hand to the boy's cheek, "I'll try not to be so rough next time...alright?"
Ozzie blinks, thinking about the words 'next time' for a moment, "..'k-kay..."
Valin pauses, silent for a moment before remembering. "Ah, yeah. I got us reservations for lunch if you'd like to come with me."
Ozzie blinks, "...reservations...? And sure..."
Valin smiles, "Great."
Ozzie sits back in his chair, trying not to think too much, "Thanks Valin."
Valin nods, saying after a moment, "...my treat of course." Just in case that needed to be clarified.
Ozzie smiles slightly, "...I think you spoil me..."
Valin smiles, "That's a good boyfriend's job, isn't it?"
Ozzie laughs, "I guess...and you do it well.."
Valin bows his head, "Thanks. I try."
Ozzie shifts a bit in his chair, pushing back some of his hair, "..so..where are we going for lunch..?"
Valin smirks, jabbing Ozzie gently on the nose, "You shall see."
Ozzie wrinkles his nose slightly, "Alright.."
Valin turns, beginning to work on his article, "...your dad still hate my guts?"
Ozzie mms, "..well..he..uh..never exactly hated your guts..." In short, yes.
Valin grins, "Yeah, he did. He hates me still, then?"
"Well..I...suppose you could say that..."
Valin laughs, "Alright then, I will."
Ozzie gives a small sigh, "I really am sorry about that..it's..just.."
Valin shrugs, "It's okay. My aunt doesn�t seem too fond of you either...though she doesn't seem too fond of me either. Or much of anyone, for that matter."
Ozzie mms quietly, "...at least my mom isn't being mean about it, I guess..."
Valin smiles a bit, "Yeah...my mom seemed to like you too."
Ozzie blinks, not exactly sure what to say to that, "...oh?"
Valin nods, "Uh-huh...she did. Dad did too..."
Ozzie mms quietly, giving a small nod.
Valin hrms, noticing the boy's sudden lack of speech, and decides to change the subject. "Any ideas for your next article?"
Ozzie shakes his head a bit, "No, not really..how about you?"
Valin hrms, "...I've been brain-storming."
Ozzie nods, "Come up with anything good, yet?"
"Nothing to speak of."
Ozzie smiles a bit, "You'll think of something..and hopefully I will too, for that matter.."
Valin nods, "No doubt we will."
Ozzie leans on his desk a bit, glancing up at the clock.
Valin smiles, "Don't tell me you're worried about it?"
Ozzie glances at Valin, "...worried? About what...?"
"Your article."
Ozzie ohs, shaking his head, "No, I'm not worried.."
Valin smiles, "Good."
