Good mornin' sunshine

[greenmoonrising]

WHO: Bruce and YOU
TONE: Ranging from humour to fatigued angst
RATING: Probably not more than PG-13
WHEN: First morning back at school
WHERE: Just outside the Great Hall
WHAT: It's the morning after full moon weekend and Bruce is more than a bit exhausted. He might be more irritable and absent-minded than usual, so what's stopping you from bugging him?
STATUS: Ongoing

Full moon is never fun for Bruce but adding the stress of travel to it had left him more fatigued than usual. If anyone had seen him the day before and how dishevelled he looked then, they'd think he was ready to keel over and die at any second now. All colour was gone from his face save for the even darker shadows around his eyes and the red in his lips, and was that perhaps a glint of green in his eyes when he walked through a beam of sunlight? He needed food but he wasn't too sure he was up to being around people that day, so he hesitated and stared at the entrance of the Great Hall, leaning against a wall for support.

[Smiles wanly and sips at a cup of juice.]

Oh, nothing like that. I was doing Prefect rounds and couldn't sleep too easily - you know how it is, can't feel immediately comfortable in an unfamiliar place.

[mo_cara]

Nah, I ain't never had that problem. You want something to be helping you sleep, bro?

[greenmoonrising]

Lucky you.

[Shrugs and nibbles on his toast some more.]

Thanks but I should be okay tonight - I'm so exhausted I'll probably pass out as soon as I touch the bed.

[mo_cara]

That is the motherfuckin' miracle of the dreaming cushions. [sagely] They got that magic power.

[greenmoonrising]

[Chuckles tiredly at that.]

Yeah I guess they do.

[mo_cara]

[reaches out and ruffles Bruce's hair, smiling at him]

[greenmoonrising]

[Ducks his head with a small smile at that.]

So, what classes have you got today?

[mo_cara]

[widens his eyes] Oh, motherfucker, I don't even got the knowing of that. I guess I'll figure it out! I was going to be writing it down somewhere, but I guess I forgot. [sheepish grin] I'll probably just be getting my baby quackbeast on with Shinra and Karkat.

[greenmoonrising]

Baby qua- Oh, I see. [chuckles and shrugs.] Sounds like a good start to the semester at least. Did you see either of them during the holidays?

[mo_cara]

Yeah! Karkat was being earlier [and there's another briefly dark look which disappears quickly] and I spent a week with my bro Shinra before camp. You was probably all up in Tony's business, huh?

[greenmoonrising]

[Doesn't miss the dark look but doesn't bring it up - hey, if Gamzee doesn't want to talk about it?]

Oh, that must've been nice.

I visited Tony in New York for a couple of weeks with a few others but other than that nah, spent it at home.

[mo_cara]

Man, all getting your travel on to the motherfuckin' United States, pretty cool. I'm all green over here, bro. [grinning]

[greenmoonrising]

[Chuckles and gives a self-deprecating smile.] Unfortunately Tony insisted on flying us over by plane and uh... I... hate flying. Terrified of it. He had to tranq me just to get me on the plane.
