BRANCE + RINNEY

sun up, im down!

Vance and Robin shoved their way through the crowded school, their two other friends following close behind. Finn almost fell, having been saved last minute by Bruce's hand on his shirt. The boy Finn had bumped into glared at him with a scowl, quickly scampering away when Vance and Robin turned around and cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Thank fucking god we have the same classes this year. Free tutoring for us!"

Finn smacked the back of Robin's head, rolling his eyes at the assumption he'd help for free. Robin rubbed the assaulted spot on the back of his head, squinting his eyes at the boy who'd harmed him. Bruce stepped between the two before they had a chance to get detention from the approaching staff member. Vance eyed the chubby man approaching the group with narrow eyes, questioning his intentions.

"You four! Get in class!"

All four boys stood there, blank expressions on their faces as they stared at the man. Even Bruce was confused and unmoving.

"Did you not hear me? I said-"
"Oh, no we heard you. Just don't care if I'm being frank."

The three other boys turned to look at Finn, two of their faces holding proud expressions while the other held one of surprise. The teacher frowned at the boy, raising an accusatory finger in his face and wagging it back and forth.

"Can you, I don't know, not put that foul-smelling stub in my face?"

The teacher frowned deeper at the comment but drew his finger back away from the boy. He coughed loudly, spit flying to the sides of his mouth. The four boys in front of him grimaced at the sight.

"Either go to class, or get afternoon detention."

Finn sighed, mumbling something under his breath as he walked in the direction of his class. The three others followed quickly behind, smiles on all of their faces.

Bruce lazily twirled his pencil around in his hand, eyes staring at the board in the front of the class he was in. He was close to falling asleep until, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of white. His eyes widened, hand flying to his mouth to stifle a laugh, when the teacher was hit in the center of her face with a balled up paper. The white sheet fell slowly from her face, revealing an angered glare.

"Who threw that!"

Bruce cringed at the high pitched voice, head turning to face his best friend who put his hands up, shaking them wildly as if to silently say "jazz hands!". The two boys smiled at each other amusedly, unbeknownst of the teacher quickly approaching them.

"You two! Off to Room 209! Now!"

The woman shrieked loudly, causing Finn's hands to shoot up to the sides of his head and press themselves over his ears. Bruce laughed at the action, silencing himself only when the short lady in front of him sent him a glare.

The two boys exited the classroom, smiling at each other as they heard the commotion of their two other friends behind them.

Yeah, they were definitely going to have afternoon detention.

Instead of going to Room 209, which all the boys ended up being told to do, they instead went to the auditorium. Vance bowed in front of Finn, outstretching a hand to him and running with the boy to the stage. Robin mimicked the action, offering his hand to Bruce. The four boys climbed atop of the stage, throwing on random costumes to 'perform' in.

Finn placed a dress over his clothes, laying on the floor afterwards and jokingly weeping with his hand covering his face. Robin knelt beside him, the costume of a prince overlapping his outfit.

"Oh dear princess, why do you weep?"

Finn snorted, muffling it with the hand on his face. He fought back the urge to smile.

"My beloved prince. I'm sorry but- I am in love with another."

Robin gasped loudly, a smile evident on his face even as he tried his best to rid himself of it.

"Princess! Who is this man that you betray me with?"

Before the 'weeping' boy could respond, Vance, who also wore a prince costume, shoved Robin out of the way and took his spot with an amused smile.

"Hello princess!"

Finn laughed, face reddening at the sudden action. Bruce, who was posed as a tree in the back of them, laughed as well. Vance and Robin looked at the boy, both falling onto the floor and laughing as well. The four boys were having so much fun together that they didn't even hear the approaching footsteps.

"Hopper, Blake, Yamada, and Arellano! Let's go! Change out of those costumes before you come off that stage!"

The four boys froze before laughing again, slowly stripping themselves of the costumes they wore.

Sadly, the four boys ended up being suspended and sent home. They all opted in spending the night in Vance's minivan though since their parents would most likely kill them if they went back to their houses.

Vance passed Robin the cigarette he had in his mouth, watching with a smile as the boy inhaled smoke from the thin tube. Bruce cringed at the smell of it, telling the two boys up front to roll down a window if they were going to continue with that. Finn laid his head in Bruce's lap, fingers lazily messing with the other's chin. Bruce looked down, flicking the boy on the nose before going back to yelling at the other two in front of them. Finn turned his head slightly, closing his eyes and drifting off to the smell of cigarette smoke and Bruce's cologne.
