Boss Rimi's posts

The pitter patter of raindrops splashing down on the roof of his car was soothing. However, not soothing enough to calm his worries he still had. Maddie hadn't said anything and Clint couldn't help but worry that something might be wrong. However, right now was not the right time to worry. He had to have a clear head for work. If he was too distracted, he'd end up getting himself hurt or someone else. Clint parked his car, killed the engine and stepped out before heading into the garage to be greeted by his co-workers. Boss wasn't in today, apparently he wasn't feeling very well. This was fine, it just meant that Clint had to lock up at the end of the day.

Hearing that the bell rang, Mia gathered her things and started to put them away in her bag once more. Today didn't feel like it had been a successful day. She felt she didn't make any progress despite getting everything done in time. Maybe she was being too hard on herself, she didn't know. Picking up her homework off the desk and walked to the teacher's desk, turning it in. Looking back at Takashi and the smaller boy, they seemed preoccupied and she stepped out of the class with the small group of students who had stepped out as well.

Honey glanced around, and Mia was nowhere to be spotted. When had she left that they didn't notice? Maybe she understood that she was crossing a line that shouldn't be crossed. Regardless, he gathered up his homework and waited patiently for his cousin.

Hikaru frowned and knelt down, picking up her bag for her and anything that might have fallen out. Standing back up, he held it out for her. "I'm fine Alice. I'm more worried about you. You don't seem to good. Is everything alright?" Maybe she had gotten into a fight with her mother? It wouldn't surprise him if that were the case.

The smallest acts of affection always made her heart swell. "I hope so. If not, I'll just step out and look for you." She assured. Kaneko carefully got Allen all dressed warmly and kissed his forehead in return. She hoped he was able to actually hunt in his condition. She wanted to be there to watch over him but she didn't want to witness him hurt another animal even if he didn't kill it. "There we go, all bundled up and ready to face the cold air outside." She said with a smile. Taking his hand, she walked with him to the front door. Anything to have as much time with him as possible before having to let him go.

"I...I know..I trust you Allen. I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine it's just.." She shrugged her shoulders and ran her hands through her hair. "You'll be okay, I know you will. I'll work on dinner for us and it should be ready shortly after you return." Kaneko explained. She couldn't hold him here in bed all the time. She just hoped being outside in this cold weather wouldn't get him sick. "Let me just make sure you're dressed properly before you go." How could she say no to him? It would be cruel to keep him locked away inside. He was free to do as he wished.

Mia focused on the lecture, determined to take perfect notes. Her attention would drift occasionally and she'd glance in the direction Takashi was, he looked incredibly focused on the lecture. Shaking her head, she forced herself to focus on the important stuff and actually take some notes. Her parents wouldn't be very pleased with her if her grades started slipping. She wouldn't be pleased either to be honest. Her hand continued jotting notes down then. Determined to not get distracted.

Honey jotted some important sounding notes down while he sat at the desk beside Takashi's. He still had Mia's blushing face on his mind. It irked him. Takashi wouldn't just abandon him though. He was family, family had a strong bond right? As he thought these things, he continued to scribble some notes down in his notebook in silence. He couldn't afford to get distracted. His cousin might get angry with him if he wasn't paying attention like he was supposed to be. When the bell rang, Honey began to put his things away but left the homework out to turn it in.

The trio worked in silence. Haruhi was clearly very focused on the lesson and had no problem taking notes. The twins seemed distracted but Kaoru made sure that he and Hikaru were taking notes properly. Hikaru glanced around the room and spotted Alice. What was she doing here? Had she gotten out so soon? He looked back at Kaoru and pointed her out to him. At the sound of the bell, they gathered their things and walked with Haruhi to turn in their assignments then started making their way to the club room. Hikaru stopped though and waited for Alice. "Alice!" He called out to her.

Clint grabbed the yellow raincoat and put it on now just in case. It was then that he heard the sound of a door closing. "Mads?" Clint said, but there was no reply. She probably left to her room to take a nap or to read a book. He figured he'd let her do her thing. In the meantime, he walked to the kitchen and began to prepare himself some lunch. Nothing fancy, just a couple of wraps with some turkey, feta cheese, kale, spinach, tomato, and siracha sauce. Packing his lunch in a metal box. He still had some time before he had to leave so he figured he'd say goodbye now before he forgot. Walking to Maddie's room, Clint looked inside and noticed she wasn't there. The bathroom. She was probably in there. "Umm just wanted to say I'm heading out to work now. I have my raincoat so don't worry, I'll be fine and hopefully I'll be back early so we can watch the movie. If..y-you still want to anyway.." He said nervously. Was she okay? He didn't hear anything, hopefully she wasn't sick. "My number is up on the fridge if you need anything okay?" Clint informed and knew he had to get going now or else he'd arrive a little late. Clint didn't wait for her to answer and just left her room, then the house and hopped into his car to drive off to work.

Oh good, it was helping. Kaneko let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad that it's helping Allen." She murmured quietly. Her hand pulled back from his forehead and she crossed her arms across her chest, fighting back a yawn. If it really was helping then he'd be better sooner rather than later. She remembered what he said happened to him whenever he was sick. The different stages he had to go through. Three days was the usual length of a sickness but the second day was always the worst one. "Hmm? Hunt? You...you want to go hunt?" She repeated and glanced out towards the window. It was cold, but as long as the hunt was quick he should be okay.

Clint smiled, "You know...you haven't changed a bit Mads. You're still the quiet girl from that side of the fence. The shy girl who kept to herself and would miraculously only talk to me." He said to her and finished up his breakfast happily. It was good and would hold him over until lunch hopefully. Maybe he should actually pack his own lunch this time that way he wouldn't have to keep buying it. Standing, he took his dishes to the sink and washed them, then washed his hands and dried them. "I should go get the rain coat now before I forget." He told her and excused himself.

Mia's eyes widened when he told her he liked history. She couldn't help but blush and quickly looked away. "Y-yes well...i-it's a fun subject and a g-great learning experience too!" She told him. Wow that was so stupid! Mia what were you thinking even saying something dumb like that? You're not behaving as you normally would. Calm down and just focus on getting good grades, remember? She told herself in her head. Yes, she had to focus on what was truly important.

Honey had noticed her strange behavior and looked back at Takashi with a frown. Was Mia trying to take his cousin away from him? Well she was a fool if she thought he would let her do that. Takashi was his cousin and if Mia took him from him, Honey would be alone. Who would carry him around and remind him to brush his teeth and take him to school? Would Takashi forget about him and focus his attention on Mia instead? It made the smaller boy sad to even think about it.

The students all were engrossed in doing their classwork. They didn't even notice Alice walk in. The twins and Haruhi didn't either. Occasionally, Kaoru would look at his brother and help him if he was missing anything. The class was pretty quiet though, only the sounds of their pens and pencils writing on paper could be heard.
