Who:

immobileyes

Where: The Bachelor Pad (aka tenka and sousei's place)
What: Neither Mary nor Sousei signed up for this lessons nonsense, for the record.
Rating/Warning: THERE WILL BE NONE

[He's not expecting much tonight, okay........ it's a quiet night after work, and he's content to enjoy a quiet night. Admittedly, he and Tenka have discussed Mary's situation a few times, but he's certain he never agreed to anything at all about it, and...

So when there's a knock at the door, he blinks, but slowly stands, and walks to the door, and opens it.

And glances at Mary.

And then back at Tenka.

...............who wants to explain first.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ As his gaze sweeps over her, Mary shrinks further down, like an animal in terrified submission to the dreadful Ponytailed Alpha. What words should she offer to pacify that lineface?? ]

U-um... Aniki told me to come over?

I did, I did!

[Tenka's words precede him as he's still getting up once he realizes that it's Mary at their door! Man, he should've been the one to open it if he knew it was his cute little sister visiting. So he's clapping a hand on Sousei's shoulder then, grinning.]

She requires instruction, Sou-sensei!

[He came up with that nickname himself, he thinks he's so clever. Then without hesitation at all he's moving to pick Mary right up off her feet, poor terrified girl that she is, and walk back toward their low table.]

Don't be scared of him, Mary-chan. His personality is awful but there's probably no better teacher.

Sou--

[WHAT

Tenka you're not as clever as you think you are!!

He just ends up staring at Tenka picks her up and carries her in, and automatically, he shuts the door, turning to follow.

... ... ....

Teacher?!]

What are you talking about?

W-wait, I don't need a teacher--

[ ... as she's carried. Tenka??? ]

[Tenka!!!!

Either way he's setting her down on a cushion in front of the table and sitting next to her, ruffling her hair affectionately.]

I'm talking about how Mary-chan doesn't like going to school but education is important right, Sou-sensei?

You were always better at studying, so you're gonna be her teacher! You always give me a hard time about Chuutarou so maybe you can do better.

[Is that really how you're playing this........

Sousei sits across from them, eyes narrowed as he focuses on Tenka.]

... Would it have killed you to give me prior notice?

[HUFF.

And then he looks at Mary.]

Have you agreed to this, Kozakura? [he has to double check since clearly tenka didn't completely get permission from him]

[ Mary's hair is going to get even fluffier shortly, but she seems to relax a little under Tenka's hand-- before she speaks up, a little tremulous. ]

I, u-um-- [ didn't actually know that was what she was here for, but it's not like she doesn't like learning and it's not a big school environment, so eventually she nods. ]

... I-it's fine with me.

I forgot.

[.... that's probably the honest truth, even though he was chilling with Sousei right before Mary got here. Welp.

Though next he's just going to give Mary a smile even as he settles an arm around her shoulders.]

You don't need to be scared, Mary-chan. Aniki will be right here for your first lesson, okay? I'll make sure Sou-sensei isn't mean.

[Don't be a dick, Tenka!!! Sousei arches an eyebrow at that, and then chooses to ignore Tenka in this instant.

He'll focus on Mary instead.]

Very well then. If you also want this, then I will help how I can.

[With...teaching... but even if they had a good education, they're a bit outdated, and only really know Japanese history...

Tenka...]

Where is your current skill level in these subjects? [you know...the basic ones]

... I can read, and... do basic math? [ mostly thanks to Kido.

This is such a helpful assessment of her skills, she knows. ]

[ . . . . she's really cute. Tenka just gives her another sunny grin before patting her head. It looks like they'll be fine for a bit. So he's standing up-]

I'm gonna make tea.

[And as he walks by Sousei to get to the kitchen, he just pats his shoulder.]

Thanks.

[for taking care of his kid!!!! important]

[Sousei arches an eyebrow as Tenka pats his shoulder, the expression on his face clearly stating that this isn't for Tenka at all. It's for Mary, so he doesn't need any thanks!! Clearly!!

But then he focuses on Mary, because this is what's important.]

And what of history? And writing?

I can write! [ She perks up, nodding quickly. ] But I don't really know a whole lot about history.

[ Well, her mother didn't tend to have an interest in the passage of time, oddly enough. ]

[It's because it's for Mary that he's thanking you, loser ponytail lameface.....

Well whatever, he's just gonna go make tea!! Mary's in good hands as far as he's concerned. Tenka was never really one for studying himself. Sousei's more likely to teach her good habits.]

[Hm yes how strange!!!

But he nods simply.]

I can assist with your history, as well as further math skills, then. [...] As for reading, you can bring what you like to read yourself.

[And that's good enough for him.]

Oh! Then I'll bring a lot of books!

[ And camp out at your place. But she seems a lot more enthusiastic about this tutoring now. ]

[This is cute. His family is cute.

He wanders back with a tray of tea, handing one off to Sousei easily before going to sit next to Mary again and putting one in front of her before ruffling her hair affectionately.]

See? Not bad right, Mary-chan?

[why the enthusiasm, he doesn't...get it.......

But nonetheless, he accepts that tea with a nod of thanks and glances at them both. Fair warning--]

There are still things I will not be able to teach you beyond the basics, Kozakura. I am not a teacher.

[ Mary beams up at Tenka with a swift nod, wrapping her fingers around her cup. ] Mm! He's not as angry as I thought he'd be.

[ But that aside-- ]

I'm... still learning more than what I knew, and it's not as scary. So, um... thank you, Sousei-san. And you too, Aniki.

[She's too cute.... So cute!! He's going to just settle an arm around her shoulders proudly and nuzzle into her hair affectionately then.]

He's nicer than he lets off.... But you don't need to thank me. Just be good for Sousei, alright? But I don't think you're going to have any trouble with that.

"He" is also right here.

[GUYS??? stop gossiping about him while he's right there!!!]

There is no need for thanks, as Tenka said. It will be a worthwhile exercise.

[to help Mary learn... sure, he's totally profiting from this]

[ Hold on, she's gotta hug the brother first-- but then she nods, solemnly.

... And, a little curious-- ]

An exercise for what? Are you trying to become a better teacher?

[Sorry Sousei, Tenka's just going to stick out his tongue at you. So what if you're right there!! It's not like he's saying bad things, really?!

Not technically.

But then he's just settling his chin on top of Mary's head and grinning.]

Yeah Sousei, an exercise for what?

[......... you're not supposed to call him out on his tsun okay, what the hell, guys.]

No.

[...]

But nonetheless it is not a bad skill to have.

... But you didn't explain why--

[ SOUSEI... ]
