[John really sucked at computer science. He loved the class and learning about this kind of stuff, but he was just, in all honesty, terrible at it. Dave opted out of taking it this year with him, not enough irony stocked in it, but Sollux Captor probably saw it as an easy A and practically taught the class himself, although very angrily. John has heard stories of Sollux's relationships past, and since Eridan and Nepeta became a thing, that left Sollux single, available, and...well, yeah. Single and available.]

[He was still very in love with Dave, that hadn't changed in years, but his lesbian-best-friend-ex-girlfriend Vriska had a point: casual dating wouldn't hurt him. Dave was straight, he liked ladies, and John was pretty openly into dudes, now. He didn't used to be totally open with it, having just confided his sexuality in a few friends, but when he and Vriska broke up because of their sexualities, he figured it was about time he just owned up to it. And with Sollux being single, available, not Karkat, and a pretty good guy? Yeah, he could dig this, and the worst that would happen would be that Sollux turned him down.]

[So, it's after school has ended and John's clicking around on one of the computers in the computer lab, waiting for Sollux to come in. He genuinely needs help with his assignment and the subject material in general, but this is also his chance to ask Sollux out and get some tutoring in at the same time. Score!]

[Tutoring is Sollux's excuse to get his dad to come pick him up after school today. John's not a bad guy, and an hour of teaching him how to use python was a great deal of an improvement over taking the bus. He had both Vriska and Tavros on his bus route, and he always had a headache by the time he got home.]

[He has his backpack slung lazily over his shoulder, displaying the front panel where Karkat safety clipped notes that usually summed up to "take your fucking medicine" or "don't get AIDS from Eridan", as he walks into the room.]

Hey John.

[He sounds just a little bit above mind-numbingly bored, but he usually sounds like that when he's not having either kind of fit.]

[putthebunnyinthebox]

[John looks up from his Solitaire game--which he was losing horribly--and smiles. He even waves, and despite being told how dumb he looks when he does that so many times, he does it anyway. It's just what you do! He's glad to see Sollux, also nervous, but more outwardly excited.]

Hey! Thanks for staying to help me out, man.

[It seems pretty classic, really, this whole air-headed football guy getting a skinny little nerd to help him with his homework situation. John closes his game and takes out the homework assignment from under the keyboard, where he'd stuffed it out of the way. He stares at it for all of a millisecond before he chuckles nervously.]

Yeeeeeah, I'm completely lost.
