Red spends the first three weeks of school sitting on the bench with a broken arm. Since Yellow pushed him out of a bloody tree, he fell badly and now he can’t do anything. Also, the doctors keep telling him it will take time to heal, so Red spends his physical education period watching other children run around.

There’s one boy he notices in particular, who’s two years older than him, but since all the classes do physical education at the same time, it doesn’t matter. He has long red hair like a girl, and he’s very flexible.

Red only knows this because their unit begins with gymnastics.

But he likes gym class, because he can watch Lance to his heart’s content, and no one comments because they think he’s jealous. After all, he has to sit on a bench all period doing nothing. It really is quite boring.

Red truly isn’t bored at all, and as Lance executes a perfect landing after a flip off the vault, he sighs inwardly.

Someday, he’ll work up the courage to talk to him. Until then, watching is a fun pastime, but…

When he recovers, and rehabilitates, and gets put on the same team with Lance when they play volleyball, Lance smiles at him, and he can actually touch him a little!

Yes, sometimes gym isn’t bad at all!

I really, really don’t like sports… so this theme was a bitch to write.

Red: Starting a new themes list, I see

Phantomness: Hai~!

Lance: Well, at least it gives her something to do.

Phantomness: I know! Otherwise, I might be out on the streets murdering helpless children… Just kidding. I hate blood.
