The first day is always the hardest

"WHERE'S MY BAG?!" Maya shouted up the stairs, trying to pull a shoe on at the same time.

"What?" Aya had just gotten home, there'd been an emergency, "WHAT DID I MISS?!"

"Aya! Hi, MOVE!" she weaved around her sister and started digging through the coat closet. "I know we had a book bag! I know we did, we didn't lose it right? Orientation is today! HOW DID I FORGET?!"

Aya dropped her keys on the table and tried to move out of the way but her sister was already making a dive for a different closet. The tripping tangle was sadly inevitable "ACK! CHILL! You're going to get all riled up before class! And you're strangling me! Breathing! HELP ME GUYS!" She was laughing though, it had been a long night and now this? It seemed so silly...

"Sure, laugh, I'm going to be late to school!"

"You're going for a doctorate sister-mine! You're the upper echelon, you don't need orientation! Deep breath! Why'd you sleep in?"

Maya took a deep breath, held it, then went limp. Yes, laying over her sister and starting to giggle herself. "We kicked the alarm clock I think..."

"...of course you did. I'm jealous! And starving. I'm jealous and starving and getting squashed."

"Tough, I'm comfy," Maya laughed and lifted a hand to pat her sister's head. "You'll deal."

"And you'll be late to class."

"Forgot Braig was going too. It's okay to be late if I'm not alone."

Aya sighed and poked her sister but settled in a wait, the floor wasn't that uncomfortable. "We can get you matching lunch boxes and we'll watch you guys to the bus..."

"You realize I'm going to kill you now right?" There was a mitochondrial flex, power shifting, then Maya was rolling over to tickle her sister ruthlessly. That was exactly what was needed in the early morning, right? Right.

"Awww," Maya laughed and settled back in her seat, getting them moving again just as the light was turning from green to yellow once more. Oops? "I can see we're going t have an interesting school year already." Totally.

Aya chuckled warmly, hand stilling so she was simply cupping Dilan's cheek. "Can't have that can we?" She sounded honestly regretful at that fact.

"'Course we are, babe." Braig agreed happily, shaking his head at her driving.

"Unfortunately not today. Soon, though."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I get worried when Aya and I are separated sometimes," Maya admitted, laying a hand on his knee as the edged toward campus. "Thanks for going back with me." Hopefully he could keep her from being keyed up mitochondrial reaching for her resonance and she could keep the crowds from stealing Braig!

Aya moved her hand so she could press a kiss to his cheek and then stepped back, smiling, "Lunch today? I cleared non-essential appointments after the emergency last night."

"I know, babe." Braig said, covering her hand with his own, "I'll be here with you. It'll be fun."

"Lunch sounds good." Dilan agreed, finishing his food rapidly and standing up, "...C-can you take care of the dishes?" it was hard for him to ask, his OCD hated it, but he could. Just not easily.

Maya turned her hand over to twine her fingers with Braig's, sending a warm, slow pulse along his arm just to feel him for a moment. "Oh hell...I forgot about student parking. How are this many people here already?!" Eep!

"I'll meet you?" she offered. She probably had more free time today than he did! A little bit more at least! "And yes I can love. You've got to run."

[sliceitwithwind]

"I got a pass." Braig promised, making a soft noise of pleasure at the feeling. "Here. I am totally abusing the fact that I teach here some quarters...pull into the teacher's parking."

"I'd like that." Dilan kissed her deeply, then fled.

[mitochondriaaya]

"And you continue to be amazing!" Maya laughed, pulling into the teaching lot with a gleeful look. "Does this mean I'm dating the teacher?" she teased. "The really hot teacher?" Yup. She totally had the hottest teacher on campus! Eve if he wasn't technically on staff this semester!

Aya chuckled and lingered in the 'thoroughly kissed' feel for a moment as he fled. A moment of concentration and she could watch him off the property and...yes, dishes. Dishes, then a nap.

"A teacher." Braig said with a laugh, "However, you can't be in any classes that I actually teach. Not that you'd want to be, I think, since I mainly do Masters level physics courses."
