Diner and a Fall

Broken Porcelain

Tatsuha nodded and stood up with a groan and stretched.
"They're probably the dumbest, most uncomfortable things that this school does. It's less like a dinner and more like a gathering. You have to talk a certain way, walk a certain way, even blink a certain way! It always gives me a headache by the end of it." Everyone laughed as he made wild hand gestures and mimicked what you were supposed to do but soon everything quieted down and Ikari, Taiki, Sho, and Masa soon left to go get ready and Shuichi was left with the three others. Sitting down on the bed Hiro had told him was his he watched them for a little while before asking,
"What exactly are we supposed to, um... wear?"
Hiro looked up and shrugged, "A tux I guess, right Tatsuha?" He question, looking over at the other boy before laughing. It seemed that the block haired teen was having a little trouble with his attire and had put his arm where his head went and his head where his arm went. Tatsuha, however, didn't find this in the least bit funny and yelled a muffled curse at Hiro before correcting himself and shooting him a glare.
"You could have helped me, ya know!" He yelled as he yanked on his jacket.
Hiro shrugged and just looked down at his shirt and started to button it, "You shouldn't button it and then put it on, it's much easier this way."
"Well, I wanted to do it like this." He replied stubbornly before glancing back at Shuichi, "Get dressed man, or you'll be late." The bubble gum haired teen nodded before hopping off the bed and started to dig in his bag.
Hiro fixed his hair and took one last look in the mirror, making sure he looked immaculate before walking over to Shuichi, who now throwing clothes from his bag frantically.
"You okay Shuichi?" He asked, standing back a little so as to not get hit with stray clothes.
"No! I can't find it!" He nearly screamed, turning his bag inside out, having the rest of the items fall from the bag.
"Find what?"
"My tux! I could have sworn I... Oh no!" He groaned, covering his eyes.
"Don't sweat it man, I think I have one you could use." He said reassuringly, patting the other boy on the back. Shuichi smiled gratefully up at him. Hiro walked over towards his closet and grabbed out a spare suit and gave it to Shuichi.
"Thank you so much!" he said again, bowing. The red head just laughed.
"It's cool, just get ready and quick, me and Tatsuha need to head down. It looks like Suguru already left." He looked over at Tatsuha and the other boy nodded before heading to the door, looking back at Shuichi Hiro waved and walked towards the door.
Once the two boys were out the door, Shuichi threw off his clothes and quickly slipped into the ones Hiro had given him only to groan at his bad luck. This tux had to be three times bigger than him! Hiro was after all larger than him by far. He looked at himself in the mirror and felt like plastering a big sign that read 'Idiot' across it, because it would clearly portray how he felt.
Sitting on the bed he rolled up his sleeves and then his pants. It didn't look too bad but the clothes were still incredibly baggy on him. With one last sigh he walked out the door and stepping out into the hallway he stopped. Where was the commons?
---
Eiri looked at his watch and then over at all of the children that had started to pile into the commons. Why was he here again? Did they really need all of the teachers here to watch some dumb ass kids? He tapped his foot impatiently and rolled his eyes as he saw some of the boys staring at him. Granted he was good looking but he really didn't feel like having teenage boys ogling him.
"Enjoying yourself, Uesugi-san?"
Eiri glanced over at the person to his side and resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Quite. And you, Mrs. Shigure?"
"I'm quite delighted actually. You know, if you weren't having a good time I could always show you one." She said in a sickeningly sweet voice as she ran her finger down the length of his arm. He resisted the urge to gag.
"Is that so? And would Mr. Shigure be there too?" He replied smoothly, crossing his arms in an attempt to keep her from touching him.
At the mention of her husband she pursed her lips, "Ah yes. Well... I must be going now. Thank you for the lovely chat I hope you have a wonderful evening." Bowing she excused herself, and went to most likely bother the rest of the male staff.
"Damn hag." he muttered. Glancing back around the room he decided it was time to take some air. They'd do fine without him for a little while. Looking over at Mrs. Shigure to make sure she wasn't watching him he snuck out of one of the doors and walked towards the students Dorms, there was a place by there that didn't have any camera's. The students used it for things he rather not think of but since he was unable to leave the school and they had a strict no smoking policy he decided to use it for a quick smoke.
---
Shuichi wandered the hallways with a lost look on his face. He had no idea where he was and where he was going. Shouldn't they have a map on the wall or something? He groaned and banged his head against the wall.
"I really am pathetic."
He looked helplessly around and groaned again. What am I going to do?
---
Eiri inhaled the sweet nicotine, leaning against the wall. God he needed that. Leaning his head back he closed his eyes. This is what his day should be spent like. In silence.
"Where the...?"
He opened his eyes and looked over to see one of the students wandering around in the front of the building. "What the hells this kid doing?" He thought grimly to himself. Of course he was going to have to go and bring that dumb ass back to the dinner. Pushing off of the wall he made his way towards him.
Shuichi on the other hand hadn't noticed the presence of anyone else and continued to look around pathetically for some sign of where the damn commons might be. He nearly shrieked as he heard someone speak behind him but instead he ungracefully toppled over onto his face.
Eiri stood over him wit the cigarette still help precariously between his lips. Raising an eyebrow he gave the kid a quick once over. He was a strange looking one. Pink hair? Purple eyes? Rolling his eyes he flicked his cigarette. What the hell was with kids these days?
"What do you think you're doing?"
Shuichi looked up and was about to reply but just open and closed his mouth, unable to produce any sound. This man in front of him... he looked like an angel! Had he hit his head too hard on the ground and died?
"Are you just going to gape like a fish or are you actually going to produce an intelligent sound?" He snapped, getting impatient, "Get up. You're late for the dinner."
Shuichi quickly scrambled up at the older mans command but instead ended up stepping and tripping on his long pant leg and face planted it into the dirt again.
"Guh..."
Eiri rolled his eyes and resisted to urge to laugh. This kid was a walking disaster waiting to happen. It was just then that he noticed how poorly dressed the teen was. It was a fortune for the tuition and they didn't give scholarships and yet the kid was still dressed crappily, how did that work? The kids suit had to be like, five times too large for him!
"Are you trying to go for the poor, unfed look or were they just out of the kid sizes?"
Shuichi turned a deep red and stood up, this time more carefully, and fisted his hands.
"No! I-I just forgot my tux!" He yelled before quickly apologizing, "I mean... Uh, sorry sir." He quickly bowed low to the floor.
Rolling his eyes, for what seemed to be the hundredth time that night he shook his head.
"Come on kid, it's time to go." Turning he started to head back to the building with the commons, Shuichi scurrying on behind him.

I know this isn't as long as I promised but I'll be having another three to four page chapter out a little later this week, probably Tuesday. Thank you for your patience! And thank you for reading!
