Rakutsu watched his cousin leave wearing an overcoat over his bodysuit. His eyes blinked a few times while his mind tried to understand if that just happened. Ryoko honestly just walked out the house like that? He wanted to face palm, but he just let out a sigh.<br/><br/>”Another thing for when she gets back. Wear normal clothes.” Rakutsu finished up his eggs and walked over to the skin. He was treated to a meal, so he might as well do the dishes.<br/><br/>He looked behind his shoulder to Teruko, taking a moment to think. ”Sure. That would be nice.” His initial idea was to just ditch her and go on his own. That’s his usual style. However, he can at least try to do as his mother request and get along with his cousins.<br/><br/>”I’ll go get ready.” He placed the dishes in the drainer and left to the bathroom, where he brushed his teeth and washed his face. After a few short minutes, he returned to his room and got his clothes for the day on.<br/><br/>”So...how are you enjoying America? The land of the free, as they say?” He added a little sarcasm as he tried to start a conversation for the ride to school.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>”Thank you, sir. I’m sorry to make you thin otherwise.” Rakutsu looked up from his chrome book after a few moments. His bold attitude backtracked to look more aligned to what a model student should be. There wasn’t any reason to disrespect the man in his own classroom.<br/><br/>Sure he was going after inattentive students, but that was their fault. If their not going to pay attention, they should at least already know the material.<br/><br/>Rakutsu met with Chris after class and didn’t like the answer he received. ”Alright. I can’t exactly convince you otherwise, so I’ll respect your wishes.” It would have been easier for him to have the two work together, but that wasn’t going to happen. Might as well work with what he can get and ask one of the other guys. ”As long as they pull their weight, I don’t care who works with us.”<br/><br/>He didn’t bother going to his locker, which he rarely used. ”Any reason for wanting to go with the multiverse theory? While we are on the subject, what sort of project ideas did you have in mind? I can try to help out with coming to a decision.”<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Rakutsu was paying attention in his class when the text came through. A small smile formed on his face at the answer he got. Good choice, Kaitlyn.<br/><br/>”I’m going to stay for a bit.” He left his shoes by the door and sat in front of the coffee table, on the floor. ”I don’t mind the low tech environment. I do better without all that stuff, as a matter of fact. Don’t see a need for it like others do.”<br/><br/>His thick school books scattered the coffee table. ”Time to study. What? I offered to study with you, so I’m gonna study with you. That wasn’t an excuse to get into your apartment. Come on, sit down. An hour or three of this will help us learn the material better.” He patted the spot next to him.<br/><br/>
