Just A Good Bloke

waking the old man (chap 1)

6:05am, thatchers dorm

The sun rose up, it emitted a bright, soft orange illumination. The beams of light trailed into thatcher's dorm, the sunlight found itself directly infront of thatchers closed eyes.

This had woken thatcher up, the old man wiped his eyes softly as he squinted momentarily before blocking his eyes from the sun, "FOOK OFF" thatcher shouted before he sat up on his king sized bed, his bedsheets were just a union jack.

Thatcher groaned heavily before he stood up, he wore his special vertically placed white and blue striped pj's, thatcher walked towards his bathroom door as he let out a yawn, he opened the door before he flicked one of the light switches on.

Thatcher looks to his right to see mirror ontop of a basin, he walks over to the mirror so he can look at his refelction.

As thatcher is looking at his own refelection he notices how his scruffy
Facial hair is beginning to grey out, thatcher hated to admit he was old but he was.

"nearin' sixty and still fine as fook" thatcher told himself with a slight chuckle as he stares into his reflection

8:30am, cafeteria

The cafeteria was fairly busy today, everyone was ordering decent food that the staff prepared, nothing was too out of place.

When thatcher walked into the cafeteria the first thing he did was... Obviously order food, he was waiting in line behind hibana and ying, the two were chattering away as they both grabbed their trays of food. Before the two had left thatchers vacinity thatcher heard a distinct voice call for him.

"MIKE" hibana shouted as thatcher grabbed a tray of bacon, eggs, bread, sausages and a mug of black coffee sitting on top of it, thatcher rotated his attention towards hibana as he could see her walking towards him.

"what'ya want yumiko" thatcher grumbled back before hibana and ying were arms distance away, hibanas smile turned into a playful smirk as she looked towards thatcher.

"sorry grandpa, but i need to ask you something" hibana cheekily asked thatcher, this comment put a smile on thatchers face.

Thatcher lightly nodded before he asked hibana "alright then, so whats wrong mate"

Hibana giggled lightly before she signalled thatcher to follow her and ying, the 3 walked towards a average sized table with thermite, echo and dokkaebi meeting them as they sit down.

"dont break ya' back baker" thermite cheekily told thatcher as thatcher took a seat next to hibana which was adjacent of echo.

"ah, get back to me when ya nearin' ya sixties" thatcher snarked back playfully to thermite before thermite chuckled slightly

"depends on if you are alive then" thermite replied with a tinge of laughter before everyone else chuckled at thermites responce

Thatcher looked at hibana with a slight grin on his face before asking her "oh yeah yumiko, what'ya want to ask me?"

Hibana hummed lightly before she stared at thatcher with a look of curiosity in her eyes, she sighed lightly before saying "so mike, what if i were to say that it was possible for a fine looking gentleman such as yourself to find love?"

Thatcher almost spat out his food as he looked at hibana with a extremely confused expression on his face, he looked around to see everyone else except ying look at hibana with dumbfounded looks.

"yumiko dont you know?" echo asked hibana as thatcher giggled his ass off

"dont you know what?" hibana replied with a flustered expression as thatcher placed his hand on echo's shoulder

"don't ya worry lad, let me explain this. So since i am in the sas, i cannot form any relationship... That is just a rule, i cant or i would be terminated. Thatcher cheerfully exclaimed as he got his hand off echo's shoulder, hibana looked somewhat offended but she tried hiding it with a smirk.

"s-sorry mike" hibana mumured out as thatcher sighed lightly

"dont think too much about it mate, i reckon try and get james or mark some love" thatcher exclaimed as he caught odd looks from everyone

Dokkaebi looked at thatcher for a second, she lightly giggled before saying "but they are both in the sas aswell"

Thatcher gulped loudly as he caught confused glimpses from everyone, he looked at dokkaebi with a more serious look before saying "if i remember since i am a old bastard, i am obiding by the old rules compared to the ones here. No one cares if anything personal happens with anyone, regardless of if you are in the sas or work a fooking mcdonalds. You should have the option to find someone somewhere, but that life aint for me kids"

Hibana, ying and dokkaebi looked at thatcher with slight frowns but they were understanding. Thermite and echo did not really care who thatcher would be with anyway.

"i will change your mind one day" hibana told thatcher with a slight giggle as she looked at ying hold her finger up in the air for a second as her eyes were wide open.

"what if... They were not your age?" ying asked thatcher as thatcher and echo sighed in unison

"would'nt change a darn thing mate" thatcher replied, making ying frown slightly as she nodded.

Thatcher lightly groaned before he stood up, he grabbed his empty tray before saying "look, grandpa has to go to the retirement home, see yous in hell"

Thatcher heard a few laughs as he turned his back away, he walked towards a dish disposing bin and dumped his tray in that, he turned away again to see smoke standing behind him. Scaring the fuck out of him in the process.

"jesus christ james, whats up your ass today" thatcher asked smoke as he playfully punched smokes arm

"i'm trying to be just as sneaky as taina, did it work?" smoke asked thathcer genuinely

"your sneaky, but you still need to be creepier than a car-ride to bill cosby's house by micheal jackson" thatcher snickered back, earning a laugh from smoke

"ok, ok, pops. That was a good one" smoke chuckled before he remembered why he snuck up on thatcher

"anyway, why did the 3 broads want to know why you dont date anyone?" smoke asked thatcher as thatcher groaned in annoyance

"i honestly dont know" thatcher replied as smoke placed his palm on his jaw line, placing hiself in deep thought

"shit maybe the old man has an admirer, but yumiko,grace and siu?, is it all three or just one of them?. Or is it a man using those three for cover?, fuck... it has to be siu" smoke thought as he caught a glimpse from thatcher

"uhhhhhh, i reckon that they think you are gettin' old and grumpy and all of that, ya need a woman to keep you in place" smoke told thatcher as he caught a glimpse from thatcher

"fook off, i tried getting them to bother you and marky" thatcher replied as he heard a distinct siren from a loud speaker

The siren beeped three times before it let out a voice that said "callsigns thatcher and hibana report to six's office immediately"

"FOOOOOOKK" thatcher shouted with a frustrated tone of voice as he punched smokes shoulder lightly as he walked out the cafeteria
