Explosive Pottery

Fluffy Fiasco II

Sure enough, there was an alarmingly specific blank area in the room where Kiyotaka sat in the front. He gave a pained smile, and looked over apologetically. "I'm sure you can tell where I sit, haha.... "

"...Yeah... Doesn't matter, though." Shrugging a little, Mondo pulled out an empty chair and sat down, slightly slouching against the back of it like he usually did.

"How would you like me to help you with where we are in the lesson by now? "

He shrugged again, twirling a bit of his hair around a finger. "In any way ya want, whatever's best fer you."

"Okay. By the way, here is your puppy child." He handed the puppy back to Mondo. "Usually I don't allow pets on the premises but... I'll make an exception for you. "

A small gasp escaped him as he laid the puppy gently in his lap, seeming completely absorbed by it.

Ishimaru let out a little laughter. "You really do think of him as a child don't you? "

"He's weak an' vulnerable. Someone's gotta substitute as his dad, right? To protect him."

"I guess. I suppose that means I'm the mom! " He joked. You could practically hear the crickets chirping.

...Wait, what?! Mondo glanced up, staring for a second or two before looking back down at the puppy again, face bright red in embarrassment. "...I-I mean... if ya wanna... He needs some kinda mom in his life to teach him... stuff, fuck if I know what moms do."

"Sure, W-Why not? " He replied, clearly shocked. "Um... They teach children rules and discipline... "

"Oh... yer gonna be perfect, then." He laughed weakly, not wanting to look up due to the blush on his face. So he just stared down at his puppy son and scratched behind his ears.

Well this got a little awkward a little quickly. "Ah, you really think? " But then he went pale. "wait a moment, I've never been a mom before! How am I going to be a good parent?! "

"Dude, shh! It'll be fine! ...Just... be yerself. That'll work."

"But myself is very rule eccentric. "

"Uhh... isn't that what a mom is...?"

".........touché.. " He turned back to have the front of the class. "Okay, clash is about to start. We should quiet down now. "

Mondo nodded, still slouched, trying his best to keep the puppy in his lap and not hyper. Right now, he was trying to nibble at the biker's finger.

A few minutes into class, a note hit Mondo in the back of the neck. It said, "Hey, wanna go out with me? ~ the person 3 seats back". Well, it was a very pretty girl at least. Testing his faithfulness to Kiyotaka.

He almost didn't take notice, too preoccupied with the puppy being a little demon in his lap. Though he finally did manage to pick it up, reading it as he held it in one hand. ...Wait, what? Mondo glanced back at the girl in question for a second or two, almost staring before he tore his eyes away. No... no, you can't be thinking about things like that, Mondo.

Another note was sent his way. "Either you or your cute nerd friend.~"

...Dammit. He didn't turn around again and instead actually tried to focus. Because if he didn't he would end up shouting, and that is not what anyone - most of all him - wanted.

The girl picked herself up after noticing he ignored her note. "Well? Whaddaya say, hotstuff? "

Ishimaru was confused. "What does she mean by 'hotstuff'? "

Oh god, no, no why him. Drumming his fingers against the desk furiously as he kept is eyes fixed on the front board, not even wanting to speak out of fear of causing a commotion.
