Office Hours

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Snow and... you?? (Anyone who drops by his so-called office hours!)
Location: The WTR classrooms.
Rating: PG?
Open/Closed/Finished: Open.
Summary: Snow is a good Instructor who makes himself available to the students if they need anything.



Once classes finished for the day and the students had entered the blocks of time set aside for tutoring and extracurricular activities, Snow moved back into the training classrooms to hold what he called 'office hours'. The classroom wasn't much of an office, of course, but he figured he'd do more good in it than behind a desk.

He'd let his own classes know that he'd be available, but he hadn't specified that it had to be martial-arts-related. He'd passed word to the other Instructors too, just so they knew he was here (and please don't book the classroom at the same time!).

Until someone showed up looking for him, though, he was content to pummel a punching bag. He had to keep in shape himself, right?

She nodded, walking inside and gently closing the door behind her so that it didn't make a sound. "Thanks," Gabs shyly smiled, tucking some of her hair behind her ear as she walked towards him.

Might as well get this over with. The sooner, the better she could feel about it - and well, he deserved to feel better about this whole situation. "I... well, I wanted to talk to you about my so-called 'love confession.' I don't mean to disrespect you, Professor, but it was actually a Dare challenge as part of the Sponsorship Games."

Part of her was kind of embarrassed to be explaining this in the first place; wasn't this the Instructor that was engaged? Or something? The grapevine hadn't been very fruitful concerning the whole story. "So... I hope that doesn't sour things between us?"

"Wait... that was a dare?"

He stared at her in disbelief for a moment, then burst into laughter, lowering his head into one hand. "I had no idea! What an awful dare! And here I've been worried about it for nothing since then!"

Gabs could only smile sheepishly, "Yeeeeep. It was a dare. Confess your love to the first person you see. And you were kind of that person, Instructor."

At least he wasn't upset about this! That was pretty much the nice thing about telling him the truth. (Or well, she thought he might've been mad for wasting his time or whatever it is teachers got mad about.) "I mean, you're a nice guy, but I've already got a boyfriend back home."

"That's one messed-up dare," Snow said, his smile fading just a bit. "That one could hurt if it got fired off at the wrong person. I guess it's lucky I'm the one who caught it. My fiancee isn't the jealous sort either."

Fiancee? So the grapevine was right! Gabriella tried not to look too pleased--she knew the consequences would've been bad had she declared love to someone much more taciturn or solemn. "You're right," She replied after a moment. "I don't think I'll be taking those kinds of dares in the future.

... I'm sorry for prying, but your fiancee? She's here?"

"Yeah. You might have met her." He might be throwing a rock at a hornet's nest to confirm he's engaged to a student, but it had happened before they ever came here and he would never, ever lie or pretend about it under any circumstance. "Serah."
