Sirius found himself still sitting at his desk at the school come six o'clock at night. The custodian, Al, knocked on his door when he finished his rounds and Sirius, as per their routine, offered Al some coffee and biscuits he had in his desk. They both took a break and gossiped like old women.<br/><br/>"I think we have some bullies again." Al said after a while.<br/><br/>"Really?" Sirius raised an eyebrow at him.<br/><br/>"Just some odd dents in lockers, notes in the trash, etc. Nothing concrete or anything. No names, multiple lockers." Al shrugged, but the darkness in his eyes betrayed his true emotions and thoughts on the subject.<br/><br/>Sirius frowned, "Anybody say anything while you were eavesdropping?"<br/><br/>"No, not anything like that anyway. Mrs. Callaway is having an affair with Mr. Dillinger again. Also, You-know-who is sneaking straws and jello from the cafeteria. Current favorite color is blue..." Al continued on a similar tangent until they finished their coffee/tea and biscuits. Then they packed up their stuff and left the building.<br/><br/>"See you tomorrow, Al." Sirius said after Al had locked them out of the school building.<br/><br/>"Like always, Loki." Al gave him a found smile before they went there separate ways.<br/><br/>Loki got take-out from his favorite Chinese place on the way to his apartment. Mondays and Thursdays were Chinese or Indian. Tuesdays and Fridays were pizza or hamburgers. Wednesdays were breakfast. Saturdays and Sundays were free-for-alls. He cooked on Saturdays and Sundays when he wasn't rushing on grading, but he mostly stuck with slap-it-together or take-out. At least he chose somewhat healthy foods and worked out every morning to burn off the calories.<br/><br/>He made it to his apartment, parked in the private parking deck, and made his way up the five stories by elevator. Down three hallways -- left, right, right -- and into his two bedroom one bathroom apartment. He had converted the second bedroom to a study/library when he first moved in. The furnished bed was now a table/couch thing.<br/><br/>He settled on his couch in front of the TV and put on the first movie of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. He ate his Chinese, then finished the last of his grading, before heading to bed. Sleep sounded good after the day he had had.
