    "About fifteen minutes into the assignment, the two of us are just about done."

    "We’re making surprisingly good time."

    F "Uhm… and you said that the electrons hold the negative charge, right?"

    A "Yeah, yeah."

    F "Can’t imagine when I’d be using this crap in real life."

    A "You never know, you might shrink one day."

    F "Yeah, and you might stop pretending you’re livestreaming on Yousnoot."

    A "As far as you know I might be giving you incorrect answers, you know."

    F "Mhm, sure."

    "The teacher is making his rounds checking on the students and gets to our desks."

    Drf "Are you two getting along well?"

    AnonAndFang "Yes, Mister Fernsworth."

    Drf "Great to hear."

    Drf "You know, I’m real proud of you two."

    Drf "I remember at the start of the year you were at each other's' throats."

    Drf "And now look at you!"

    "The two of us cringe."

    A "Uhh… Yeah, thanks."

    Drf "At any rate, you two understand the material, right?"

    A "Oh yeah, Fang and I are fine."

    A "I was just helping them with a few problems."

    F "Yeah. I'm good. Just, was reminded of something embarrassing."

    A "What?"

    F "Trish."

    A "Trish?"

    show fang sad flip

    F "I can't help it, I see her everyday. We tried signing up to as many classes together as we could and now I regret it."

    F "And every time I do I’m reminded of… this whole thing."

    A "I’m not good at the pronoun game, Fang. What whole thing?"

    F "THAT, the pronoun thing!"

    F "Now things are… different."

    F "And, I wish I hung out with Naser more than..."

    F "...her."

    "There's some disdain in the way she said it."

    "Now that they mentioned it, Trish has been very weird lately."

    "Should I mention to Fang the fact that every day in Math period I try to check if there's a bomb under my seat?"

    F "you're the one I see the least. It's such a shame."

    "Fang started stroking my hand on the table."

    F "Now though…"

    F "I’ve been thinking and…"

    F "And… I wouldn’t mind..."

    F "Wouldn’t mind if you called me Lucy."

    F "I… I’d like it, in fact."

    A "I… A-are you sure?"

    F "Mhm."

    "There’s a fragility to her voice. A stiffness in her nod."

    "But if Fa-"

    "If Lucy would like it then…"

    A "Alright then... Lucy."

    show fang happy flip with dissolve

    "She blushes again and looks away."

    "I test her name a couple times. It’s a nice name. Really sweet. But..."

    "Fang fits her more in my mind."

    Lucy "Only you, though."

    Lucy "I don’t know if I’m comfortable with anyone else saying it yet."

    A "I-I see."

    A "Thank you for sharing that with me."

    "Now both of us are blushing."

    "...Well, if we’re already in the moment, I may as well ask."

    A "A-anyways, Flucy."

    Lucy "Don’t stress yourself over it."

    A "Right, right."

    A "Anyways, uhh."

    A "Prom, right?"

    "Fang’s amber eyes zero in on mine."

    "Her pleading gaze bores through to my soul and I feel the unstoppable urge to comfort her in any way possible."

    A "... You uhh, wanna go with me?"

    "I watch as Lucy’s face slowly grows redder and redder."

    "Her lips turn from a thin line to an impressively massive grin."

    "She tries to cover up her face with her hands."

    "When that fails to hide her growing excitement her wings engulf her upper body."

    "A squeal of elation penetrates the feathered cage, accompanied by the staccato beat of boots stomping rapidly on the ground."

    "Once the sounds of jubilation die down Lucy lowers her wings."

    "She takes a calming breath and shrugs nonchalantly."

    F "Sure, could be cool."

    "The whole class is snickering and I have to fight back my own."

    "Sadly it was a foe far greater than I."

    A "Pfffftttahahahaha."

    F "Up the shut fuck."

    Lucy "You’re my date. I’m allowed to be happy."

    "While her voice was petulant there was an underlying tone of cheer in it."

    "I reassured Lucy with a smile, which she responded by lowering her wings until they folded neatly behind her."

    A "Yeah. Though I should warn you that I can’t dance for shit. Your feet have been warned."

    Lucy "That’s fine."

    Lucy "I’ll just step on your feet instead."

    "Crap, I need a suit."

    Lucy "You’re mumbling again. And uhmm."

    Lucy "I could ask Naser for his old one."

    A "I was thinking something like that, but I’ll probably just ask my dad for his old tux."

    A "His is tailored for humans, after all."

    A "Be pretty silly to be walking around all night with the wingholes exposing my undershirt."

    Lucy "That’d be pretty silly, yeah."

    Lucy "And then there’s the tail."

    A "Oh god no."

    A "But yeah, my dad’s suit would work nice, even if it’s a bit old."

    A "He used to tell me about the parties he went to when he was about my age."

    Lucy "Sounds like he was a lot of fun."

    A "Anyways, you got anything to wear?"

    Lucy "My mom’s already probably bought the 'perfect outfit' for me."

    A "But the announcement for prom was just earlier this period."

    Lucy "And?"

    A "Sounds like it’s a date, then."

    "Fang’s smile is cherubic."

    "And before I can fully memorize it,"

    "*DING-DONG, BING-BONG*"

    A "Crap, the assignment."

    Lucy "We were mostly done with it anyways."

    "I look at our mostly done sheet."

    "Flipping it over, the backside has twice the questions and four times the blank spots."

    Lucy "M-mostly half way?"

    "I simply sigh and drop the sheet."

    A "Finish it at my place?"

    Lucy "Sounds like a second date."
