Lukas gritted his teeth as he packed up his history textbooks five minutes before the bell rang, gathering up the willpower to do what he knew was inevitable. Though he pretended to still be listening to the last bits of his lecture, his eyes were more or less nailed to the back of the head of the boy sitting a couple rows from him.
Mihai. His new partner.
The news had come as a total surprise to him; he'd been asked to stay behind after one of his classes to talk about something, and then been informed that he was to be paired with certain Mihai Eliade. Something about them being a good match as well as in the same year. As if that automatically made them good friends or something. Lukas had tried to decline politely, but unable to provide a valid reason his teacher had had none of it and ushered him out with a suggestion he has a good talk with the Romanian as soon as possible. Apparently Mihai had been informed of this new arrangement as well.
Lukas sighed. He supposed he could have had it worse. In a way, he did enjoy Mihai's company. They'd only talked a couple times, but the boy was kind of cute and teasing him was an awful lot of fun. But that was also were he felt he had made a mistake; he had already established a certain kind of relationship with the other boy which would surely make things awkward now that they would actually have to get closer to each other. It would've been easier to start out clean and develop a relationship purely based on partnership, but it was too late for that now.
The moment the bell started ringing Lukas was up and walking against the current of students flowing out towards the exit. He didn't have Mihai's phone number nor did he know which room he was staying in, and he sure as hell didn't plan on approaching in the middle of the crowded cafeteria or someplace similar. He wanted to talk with him alone, and he knew the history classroom would be empty after their afternoon lecture. So he had gone against all his principles as a good student and passed a note through several hands at the beginning of the class with a simple ”Stay behind after class” written on it. He was sure Mihai could guess who it was from even without him signing it.
He had to push past two chatting girls to get to Mihai's row, sensing their mild irritation at being interrupted but not really caring. He had far more important matters to deal with right now, even though he still wasn't quite sure how exactly to deal with them. But as he wordlessly slipped on the seat next to the other blonde boy, he knew for certain that he wanted things to turn out well. Whatever that meant.
”I would have my pen back now, if you don't mind.”
