School Days: Anthology

I'm super tired, I'm sick and I have a head ache, but despite those I still pushed this out, eh. There's probably a few fuck ups here and there, but whatever, I'm off to bed now, eh.

It's been a while since Tyro was taken into the Infirmary. He couldn't say his stay was bad with how nice the staff were, and how quiet and peaceful of a time he had. He even read several novels to keep himself busy so he wasn't really bored, and if he did get bored he simply went to sleep. The food there was decent seeing how the staff simply opt'd to serve him cafeteria food, which is fine by him. He likes some of the stuff on menu at the cafeteria.

His stay was also nice at times, because some of his friends would visit him. They would bring him snacks and new novels to read, and Barbara was nice enough to bring him a PSP with Metal Gear: Peace Walker. He greatly enjoyed playing the game whenever he got tired of reading, and was satisfied with the ending. Although he was kinda bothered how Paz looked very similar to a girl he has seen in school... Barbara would also come by during lunch, and after school for a little while before she left for home. Her visits were pleasant if a bit awkward at times, but it was nice. It's never a bad thing whenever a girl comes visits you while you're ill.

He even got a surprise visit from Alexer, Aoi and the school's Administrator during Wednesday; the day after he was attacked. Alexer and Aoi were casual around him while expressing how they're happy he's fine, although Alexer might've been a little annoyed during his stay, he probably have not had his coffee that morning. Miss Danaan seemed remorseful at the time, and expressed how she'll do her best to prevent such things happening again. He doubts the attacks are gonna stop, but the sentiment was nice.

Now after a week or so the John Hood; his doctor says he was good to go, and Tyro was happy to be able to leave. Normally whenever he was sick or injured from any brawl he was dragged into he would’ve just went home, called in sick and played Rome Total War or Europa Unversalis 4 until he felt better...

gotta get me some Casus Belli...

Well anyways, he would’ve been on his laptop playing games today, because the school’s infirmary gave him a paper slip saying he could stay out of school for an additional week to recover from his extensive injuries, but he had trouble walking to his apartment out at Meta. Now a proud man would’ve simply kept walking through the pain, and tell themselves that the pain was simply an obstacle every man would go through in their lives, and that he could overcome the obstacle. But he's a smart man and rather not let his pride further cause himself some more damage. Walking with a busted a rib, several other sore ribs, sore muscles and a lung that was recently punctured several days ago would surely make the trip too much to bare.

So he had no other choice but to call for a ride, and was disappointed to find out that both Anthony and Kelly were busy with other business at the time. Anthony is doing his usual thing, and that is to be Alexer’s personal driver. Kelly is… doing some shady business right now, probably drug or weapon smuggling.

He had only one person left who he knew would help him, and at the time he didn’t think much of it. He just thought he’d call up Barbara, and have her get her mother or father drive him to his apartment.

He was sorely mistaken.

Currently he’s in the video game addict’s bedroom in the basement of her house, and is laying on Barbara’s bed under two blankets. Barb somehow convinced her mother to let him stay at their place, and Barbara has taken it upon herself to take care of him. Now he did try to convince both Barb and her mother to just take him to his home, but they were insistent on letting him stay at their place. He was practically dragged by both mother and daughter into their house, was stripped by Barbara, and was immediately thrown onto her bed... giggity.

Of course he didn't have his precious Rome Total War or Europa Unversalis 4 on him, so Tyro felt a little anxious."I'm fine really" Tyro said as he looked away from the girl with him in the room. There was a shuffling of clothes and fabrics. He chose to keep his eyes off the girl, and he quickly noticed the massive amount of video games on her shelves along with the assortments of consoles she has laying around her tv. He wasn't surprised seeing how often she played video games on her lap top at class, but what caught this eyes was the massive computer at the other end of the room. He can't see the interior of the case, but judging from the size of the it it clearly was capable of holding many advanced computer components...

oh how he wants to touch her...

and get inside of her.

Her as in the computer mind you, he is a gentleman after all, not some pervert.

“No you are not.” She retorted as she tossed her top aside, and placed on a new article of clothing on herself. Of course Tux being the gentleman he is, did not see what she is changing into as he's now fixating his eyes on the ceiling. Which oddly enough kinda irked Barbara, but she was fine with him not sneaking a peak at her.

“Yes I am.” Tyro said as he looked at the various pipes and vents above of him. He finds it odd that a finished basement wouldn't have put something on the ceiling. Like, did the people who build this house were lazy and skimped out on the ceiling, or did they run out of money to afford some drywall material? Or did they leave the ceiling exposed so that the pipes and vents were easy to access?

Barb quickly bottomed up her top before calling out on Tyro. "You have a plug in your lung, dumbass." As she finished with that she tossed a sock at Tyro’s face just to bother him, which it did as he was startled and was quick to toss it away from him.

“You don’t know that.”

Finished changing into her new set of clothes, she walked up to her bed and hit his legs which causes him to yelp in pain, and momentary glared at her until he see's what she's wearing. “I was with you at the Infirmary!” She then looked over him, and slightly pouted at the sight of the bruises on his face that has yet to fade away, and the bandages he still wears on his neck. “I was there when both Rowan and Caleb told me about your injuries.”

Flustered at the sight of Barbara in her new outfit, Tyro croaked out. "Is the nurse outfit really necessary?"

“Of course it’s necessary, you idiot!” She was quick to anger, and her face soon turned pink as he continued to stare at her.

From the way she’s dressed, and how she is acting Tyro thought she was practically an anime character at the moment. “Explain!” He needed to keep himself distracted, and keeping conversation was the only thing that was preventing him from shutting down... his cheeks were starting to feel a little warm, oh how he hopes he wasn't blushing at the sight of Barbara.

“I’m gonna be taking care of you.” She glared at him, but soon looked away as she tried to pull down her skirt a bit. She too must feel awkward about this, but she’s powering through this. “and I just so happen to have this on me.” Tyro then looked to the pile of clothing she had on the floor, and to the plastic packaging that looks to be where the nurse outfit came in.

Not feeling so awkward now seeing how she too must be embarrassed with her clothes, he chose to ask a question. “Soooo…. how long did you have that nurse outfit?”

“A month?” Was her answer, that means she bought that costume around the time they both played that video game together in class near the start of the school year. They were both silent to each other for a few minutes before Barb spoke to him. "Hey, Tux" Barbara as she nervously smoothed out her outfit.

"Yeah?" Tux replied as he slowly leaned back into her pillows.

"You know of the dance that's coming up right?" She sat down on the bed near his feet, looking a little nervous as she spoke to him. "The Halloween dance."

"Of course, how can I not know about it?" Tux was feeling drowsy now seeing how he’s laying on a comfy bed, under two blankets which made him really warm. And everyone knows that being comfy and warm would eventually make you a little sleepy, but he’s still capable of having a conversation. "Everyone other than our class is talking about it." Well, that’s not obviously true. Katrina quite a few times would talk about the dance with Matthew, and she would subtly talk about how she would love to go to the dance this year. Of course Matthew doesn’t seem to notice or care.

Barbara bit her lip for a moment before she continued speaking."Well I've been thinking... that you know, I and you-" She then cut herself off as she covered her face with her hands out of embarrassment, she couldn't believe she’s bringing this up! Although Tux was quick to pick up where’s going with this. "Ugh, this is so dumb, but do-"

"Want to go to the dance with me?" Tyro cut her off as he looked over the girl, and gave her a smile that brings warmth to her. It was quite obvious for him on what she was trying to say, and it now kinda made sense why she would have a nurse outfit with her, the Halloween dance allows the students to wear costumes. He personally doesn’t see anything wrong with going to the dance with her.  Sure, she’s easily provoked and spits out insults without a second thought, but she plays video games....

He likes that she plays video games.

Surprised she jerked her face out of her hands, looked at him and immediately responded.. "Yes!" Slightly taken back at the volume of her response, Tyro gave her an amused look as she embarrassingly rubbed the back of her head. “Yes, I'd like that." She said, but this time more calm and composed, but clearly happy with her giving off a small smile of hers.

"Noice” With that over and done with, Tyro wanted to ask about something important. “Now, I'm hungry. What we're having for dinner?"

"Whatever my mom makes." He nodded at her response. It would make sense that Barb wouldn’t be the one cooking seeing how clumsy she can be sometimes, and he can only imagine how dangerous her food would be if she were to cook.

"Oh, what does she usually prepare for dinner?" He ask as he absently rub his stomach, he hasn’t eaten since breakfast at the infirmary today, and that was like nine hours ago! He missed out on lunch as he was saddened to discover his wallet is empty of money, and since then he’s been starving. That druggie robbed him while he was bleeding out on the ground, damn him.

"Soups, Chili, Stew, Borsk, and anything that's drowning in water." She listed off with her counting off the items with her fingers.

"Sounds nice, looking forward to it." As he says that a thought comes to him, and after a moment he continues. "If we're going to the dance together, you're dressing up as a Mother Fricking Trex."

"Shut the fuck up."

And so forth Tux stayed at Barbara's place for the next week, and enjoyed the company of his nurse. Clearly she was also pleased with how things turned out that day, but continues to insult Tux whenever he brings up the Trex costume.
