The Roof, Sunday night

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

 Johnny had handwavily gone off island today to buy Savannah a birthday present, and the time alone was spent in much thought. Funny how a guy like him could be so reflective.  Sue would like it, Reed might be proud, but Ben would totally call him a dork.

Whatever. Ever since Homecoming and his dance with a certain someone, Johnny hadn't been able to think real clear. He should talk to Savannah, be open and honest... but damn that was going to be hard. And then hearing the radio and... yeah. He wasn't so sure just how much that dance meant and maybe he was just reading into it more than necessary.

Anyhow, he was on the roof, being reflective cause he could. And being a roof, it was totally open to anyone else who wanted to be on it.

"Like I can get rid of a gangster by yelling at him in Russian? No, wait, it would work if he was in the Russian mafia," said Hoshi, thinking.

It made sense to Johnny. "Exactly." No way could he ever learn Russian. Not that he couldn't, really, but man, the hours involved in studying. If it didn't involve flying or extreme sports, he wasn't much interested.

"You look much better," he offered with a cute grin.

It was a lot easier to devote hours to studying when you were home-schooled and didn't have a choice.

"I feel better," she admitted.

"Did it just come on you, all of a sudden? Were you like, under your bed or something? In your closet?"

Hoshi shrugged. "I was just in my room trying to write a letter to my parents when it hit," she said. "I'm not sure why."

"Were you under any kind of stress?" he asked.

"I was trying to convince my mom and dad not to come for Parents Weekend," said Hoshi. "I'm a little worried that they may change their minds about sending me here."

"Ah," he said. "I got that same thing going on with me except with my sister and the rest of the four. Eh, at this stage, I don't know if anyone is going to come or not. Really? I don't care."

"My parents were really strict, and they wouldn't even send me to a regular school. They were worried that ordinary teachers wouldn't push me hard enough academically. If they find out that Fandom is actually in the past for them, I think it would be back to home-schooling for me," said Hoshi, looking glum. "And God forbid they ever meet Professor Stinson."

"Then lie to them," he said, because hell yeah, it's what he would do.

"Like, tell them how well I'm doing in advanced calculus and that I've picked up five new languages already?" asked Hoshi. That was a lie. She only had two new languages since arriving in Fandom.

"Exactly. Or tell them parents weekend has been cancled." he said reasonably. "I mean, cause come on, it totally can."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Even better," said Hoshi. "I like the way you think."

"I'm kind of cool like that," Johnny said, winking at her.
