@S - Pleum The idea of meeting the other student's son made a smile come to Kevin's face. "I like the sound of that," he replied happily. "I'd love to meet Peter."

@S - Pleum "Sounds good," Kevin ageed easily, eyes shut as they walked. "Where are we goingbto rest? Or did you want to split up so you could go to your room or something?"

@S - Pleum Kevin didn't react as one of the other guys yelled after them. He was too tired and pregnant to give a what people thought about him for leaving the room. The older boy rested his head on Pleum's should and shut his eyes, walking slowly so he didn't trip. "What should we go do?" He asked.

@S - Pleum "Jist call the janitor and let's get put of here before we start puking again," Kevin mumbled, picking up his bag. "If you stay in here much longer, you'll get going again."

@S - Pleum Kevin got up and went to the table, barely paying attention to anything as the lesson continued. He heard nothing but mumbles as the other talked but was brought back to normal when he heard Pleum start to puke, too. He carefully rubbed his back, unsure of what else to do. "Are you alright?"

@S - Pleum Kevin nodded slightly and rested his head on Pleum's shoulder. His eyes fell shut as he tried to calm down but it only succeeded in him feeling more tired. "I guess we can go back to the table now..."

@S - Pleum He pulled back slightly once he was finished, wiping his mouth as he leaned against the other man. "I'm fine... the smell was just too much for me to deal with... I'll get used to it in a minute."

@S - Pleum "Thank God..." Kevin muttered when the other said he was done. "Sorry for making you do it all..." When the teacher came over with additional things for them to dissect, he had to run to the nearest trash can and vomit.

@S - Pleum "A little sick... the smell is getting to me," he agreed, glancing at the mutilated fish. "My nose is really sensitive. Thank you for doing this so quickly."

@S - Pleum Kevin watched for a moment before having to look away and cover his mouth. His pregnancy heightened sense of smell was making the dead fish scent even worse. "Is this a quick assignment?" He asked softly.

@S - Pleum Kevin eyed the starfish then the knife and quickly shook his head. "N-no... you first, please. It's making me a little nauseous..." he admitted, sitting on the stool.

@S - Pleum Kevin nodded a bit as he listened to the explanation, finally managing to get up from his seat. "That's great, Pleum," he said with a smile. "Let's go to our lab table."

@S - Pleum "Your Korean is really good for not being here long," Kevin complimented, trying to get up out of his seat on his own so they could go to the lab tables.

@S - Pleum "It's my legal name. I was born in America," he explained. "My Korean name is Sunghyun, though. Nachkhun? That's a nice name. Did you live in Thailand long?"

@S - Pleum "Exactly," Kevin replied with a giggle. He turned his attention to the teacher and took meticulous notes like always. He didn't even have a chance to think about who he'd do the experiment with before Pleum asked him to join him. "Sure. Ah, that's an interesting name. I'm Kevin."

@S - Pleum "Ah, alright," Kevin agreed simply. "That's a nice way to think about it. I just can't do that stuff with girls." The pregnant boy nodded slowly as the other spoke of his parents. "Wow... that's awful. I'm sorry that happened to you."

@S - Pleum "You never saw an ultrasound when Peter's mom was pregnant?" He asked in surprise. "That was the first thing I had done when I found out. I made sure that her father was there, too. My other ex-boyfriend also went to at least one of them." Kevin nodded with the tiniest smile on his face, albeit it was a sad one. "Really? I'm sure you're a great dad... you seem to really love Peter. Ah... is that so? We really are alike," the older boy replied. "That's awful... I, um, tried to avoid letting people find out I was gay all through high school so that my foster parents wouldn't get rid of me..."

@S - Pleum Kevin dug through his bag for a minute then pulled out an ultrasound picture, showing it to the other. "This is my little girl... she doesn't look like much yet but I'm sure she'll be perfect." The student nodded slowly, heaving a sigh as he placed a hand on his stomach. "I worry all the time about if I'll be a good mom..." Kevin should his head and sighed yet again. "I don't have any parents. They died when I was a kid so I was in foster care until I turned 18."

@S - Pleum "Peter is adorable," Kevin giggled with a smile. "That's awful... I'm so sorry that happened to you." The boy gave Pleum a sad smile and gently rubbed his arm. "If it makes you feel any better, I've gone through two boyfriends already this pregnancy and still wound up on my own..."

@S - Pleum "Oh... well yeah, she's my first. I think there's another couple with a kid... if I'm remembering correctly. I'm not a couple, though. Her dad left so I'm a single mom," he explained with a soft smile, curious when the other mentioned not being the only one. He looked at the picture abd let out an excited coo. "He's so cute! How old is he? What's his name?"

@S - Pleum A soft blush covered the older student's cheeks at the sudden question but he started to nod. "Y-yeah," he admitted softly, "how did you know?" He turned to look at the other man but didn't recognize him. He must be one of the newer students.

@S - Pleum Kevin waddled into science class a few minutes before the bell rang, blinking slightly when there was someone sitting in the usually empty seat next to his. He didn't say anything, though, as he carefully lowered himself into his seat. He had to sit slightly crooked so that his big belly had enough room.

I have Einstein's attitude, not his brain..hmm

Jungshin frowns at himself. He's been away far too long and he barely knew anybody. Aside from a handful of students and one teacher, there was no one else. That doesn't sound good. Was he so anti-social or so reclusive? He sighed and slumped his head on top of his table. Being an laboratory assistant has some benefits. Well... one was you have your own desk. As for the others.... he'll have to find out eventually.

@Jungshin {Laboratory assistant} Ohh really??
That would be awesome.
