six - fingered warmth | stanford pines

set in the early childhood of stanford and stanley pines.
_

Your highschool had decided to finally install airconditioning in the classroom, despite having endured it for 2 weeks, your colds got worse and worse. Your tired hands were already shaking from tireness and cold.

You gripped your jacket tighter and blew on your hands, some loser wanted to make your classroom subzero and the richies were enjoying their thick, and snuggly coats.

Y/N on the other hand was wearing a flimsy cotton jacket, shivering.

Ford, the kid who sat three seats in front of you with his brother sat down.

Lee, was wearing nothing but a t-shirt which earned your respect. Ford as usual wore his aviator jacket along with your normal joe gloves.

Ms. Snifvlee, entered the room and everyone began to write down the solutions she was already writing on the board.

"Pines twins come up front and give a decent example for the polynomial operation on the board." The teacher called.

They were often called for Ford's brain and Lee's implementing speech. And duh, they were in front.

The glasses bound twin began to write his forming solution while Lee doodled on the board.

As always, Mr. Einstein gave a stupendous..blah blah blah.....Lee drew his teacher with horns and pointy teeth.

"Okay, class? 2x + y (7 - 6) over 5x is  projecting simplicty of my topic, now bring out your books and group by friends, study about it and conclude your opinion" Ms. Snifvlee said.

Everyone scurried to their squad while you sputtered words as your body trembled from the subzero enviroment.

You rubbed your hands furiously then, sniffled and blew your nose. Darn allegies.

"Ms. Y/N has no partner, who would like to take her in?" Ms. Snifvlee asked frankly.

Everyone in triads shook their heads and looked at the only duo, Ford and Lee.

Lee begrudgingly raised his hand and shrieked, "WE WILLLLLL!!!!" The class snickered at his antic.

You sighed in defeat as you jammed your frozen hands into your jacket and staggered over.

"Greetings Y/N!" Ford said happily. "Howdy Cowgerl!" Lee said with a terrible imitation of Southerners.

"H-hi-i-iayyyyychoo!!!" You sneezed. "Bless you," they said in unison, "Jinx!" in sync again.

Ford began to list out his interpretation of the topic and babbled about the history of how it was founded. etc.

Lee said that it was created by flying saucers and 12 fingered nerd aliens.

You opened your mouth, no words came out, just chattering sounds of your teeth. You took out your hands and blew on them, it was a sickly shade of bluish tan, you supposed your face was too.

They both gazed at your hands, the veins were showing, they wouldn't stop shaking and was twitching violently.

"You okay man?" Lee pondered. You waved it off and then jammed your hands into your pockets.

Ford gazed at his hands and gave a guilty look at Lee, who in return winced.

"Y/N, take out your wrigglers." The toothy boy ordered.

You held it out and Lee held them, he flinched and immediately removed muttering, "Cold cold."

"Do it Ford," He looked at his twin, Ford shook his head no.

"You did it for me, then you should do it again. Do it for her." He kept pressing.

"That is to say she'll do it for me?" They both looked at each other understandingly.

You had absolutely no idea what they were talking about and started writing your answer on your notebook.

"Y/N," Ford said in a deadly tone, calling your attention. "This stays between us." You hesitantly nodded then looked down.

He took of his black gloves to reveal...Six fingers. 'Whaaa? He had friggin five fingered glove!!!!' you rapidly thought.

He offered it to you, your eyes drooped, your body was shutting down. Lee grabbed the gloves and stretched it on your hands.

The residual warmth from its user warmed you. You sighed in relief and promptly fell face-first into your book.

You were still conscious but your body was uncontrollable.

The twins both screamed and heaved you up, you leaned on both of them for support. Gosh..it was so warm there...

"Thanks Ford.." you tried to say, but a series of blubbering came out.

"Lee? Come're" One of the students said, The taller twin leaped up from your side and trudged over.

"I think that polynomials represent the similar equations separated by different operations that cause the simple monomial to change its name.." you slurred out then hiccuped.

Ford flinched then urged you to keep talking, his arm over your shoulder. "Yesh-gu, gu un." He tried to say but you were head locking him. HARD.

"I think." you droned, "That it's related to human kind."

"We humans are so similar, yet we let color, culture, and riches define us, if we could just pluck the things that divide our families, multiply our problems, then subtract our racism, finally add harmony huh? I guess it isn't so simple." you concluded. Instantly, you felt better.

"Sure Y/N." Ford nodded as Lee skipped over before Ms. Snivflee noticed he loitered off.

"Go back to your seats now kids." The pointy nosed teacher commanded.

You started taking off the gloves but Ford stopped you, "Keep them, I-We don't want anymore of that frozen fiasco."

"HEY!" A voice yelled, it was that kid who called Lee earlier, his sloppily written name tag read. CRAMPELTER.

"Ford has," he paused for albeit and counted his fingers. "MORE THAN 10 FINGERS!"

Ford and Lee gazed at his 12 fingers as then the glasses bound twin hid them behind his back blushing slightly. "You stay outta this Crampelter!!!"

"Why?" The bully snickered then high-fived his cronies.

Thoughts were racing in your head. SO THAT'S  WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. DEFEND HIM. WHAT? NO!I MIGHT BE EMBARASSED!!! Y/N. NO. CONSCIENCE SAYS SO. WHATEVER. DO ITTTTTT!!!

"Hey!" you sputtered out, "I think his hands are cool beans!"

"Whatever frosty." The boy waved off.

The bell rang, and the classroom filed out for their next subject, you turned to Ford and Lee. "Thanks for the gloves guys, at least you guys are pretty nice."

"No sweat Y/N!" Lee said happily.

"Yeah.." Ford muttered.

You quickly left the room to get some warm air not noticing Ford had more to say, "She did do it for me," he turned to Lee who was shrugging on his backpack, "That is to say I'll do it again"
