Clay starts meeting him at his room in the mornings and collecting his mana there before walking him to the library.

It's... got a certain déjà vu quality to it, honestly, but it's--it is what it is.

He still doesn't give it up willingly. It fucking hurts, when Clay takes it, but he's still got his pride. He's collecting bruises, up and down his arms, on his left shoulder and his sides.

(He's not sure how much longer he's going to keep saying no, fuck you.)

He's still not allowed to talk to his friends. He has to stay with Clay and Nick and George and fucking--Tampa.

(Wilbur was right. Fuck Tampa.)

He's started taking the food Clay saves for him at meals, too. It's nice, honestly, it's usually better than whatever's left by the time the freshmen get around to the line anyway. So maybe the whole arrangement has its perks.

(He misses Wilbur. He misses Terrence. He misses Toby.)

"I didn't say I loved Clay I just said, I mean. I know you're in a tricky spot, but--it is a little funny."

"You're all assholes. Why am I--guyyyys, I'm so poor." (He's fiddling with a shop project, but there's only so much he can do with no mana and no tools.) "This isn't fair. Hey guys! Have you lot seen A Christmas Carol?"

"--That was a joke, Tommy."

"He thinks he's so funny."

"He laughed!!! He laughed at my joke!!!!!!! Tommy thinks I'm funny! He thinks I'm funny!"

Permalink

"I definitely laughed at you." ...There are some mals lurking in the corner. Point. "Help me."

"Fine." Mals are dead now! He is so good at this.

"This isn't fair, man. This isn't fair! I'm like, I'm like a sad little spider!"

"...What?"

"All I'm saying is, if I had eight legs, I would fuck you all up."

Permalink

....Nick is going to wait until Tommy's distracted again and then lure some mals nearby to spook him. (Not, like, actual bad ones, he or Clay'll kill them no problem. Nobody will actually be in trouble.)

Permalink

And when he notices, Tommy is going to fall out of his chair and scream. "What the hell, man!!!!!"

Permalink

(Clay, as predicted, kills them in a heartbeat. He and Nick are laughing.)

Permalink

"You're literally fucking bullying me."

Permalink

"Come on. It was funny."

Permalink

"You smell like body odor."

Permalink

"Well, that's just not true. Maybe Clay does."

Permalink

"Yeah, and what do you smell like?"

Permalink

"I smell like... your mother's perfume."
