Art Classes

(1 hour)

During breakfast everyone had agreed to head to the activity room together to sign up for their classes or shifts. When they'd arrived they found that only the classes sign up sheets had been put up for sign up and that the shift sheets would be put up later that evening.

Miranda and Krory had decided to browse the classes while they waited for Allen to pick out his classes, Kanda following him as he scanned the sign up sheets in hopes of finding one in particular.

"Ah! Yes!" Allen exclaimed as he spotted a sheet with the word 'Music' printed on it in large bold lettering.

Kanda let out a soft ^che^ at the younger mans enthusiasm when the word 'Art' caught his attention from the corner of his his eye.

'I didn't think they'd have art classes here... It's been so long since I've held a brush.'

"Are you going to sign up?" Allen asked a little to closely into his ear making him turn his head quickly in surprise.

Allen's question had startled Kanda, he had apparently been contemplating the paper longer than he thought, and the smaller male smiled at him not seeming to notice their close proximity.

"Hey, Backa, you signing up or can we go?"

"It's baka stupid, and... I don't know... it's been a few years since I've painted..."

Allen gave Kanda a look of amazement, "You paint?"

"Yes, and you don't have to look so surprised, I'm human, I have hobbies."

"Haha, yeah I guess," Allen chortled and moved to examine the list of future art students, "I just didn't think painting would be one of them."

"Well it is Moyashi."

Allen couldn't contain his smirk as he grabbed the pen that hung on a string next to sheet and scrawled a name onto the art classes sign up sheet.

"Whatever, you like what you like," he said trying to sound as uncaring as possible.

Kanda narrowed his eyes at Allen's tone but was silent as they made their way to the front of the room, grabbing Miranda and Krory from their browsing before they all headed off to the yard.

As the group crossed the pavement on their way to their usually spot, Krory lightly nudged Allen with his elbow making the youngest inmate tilt his head in curiosity.

"He's back" Krory said lowly and Allen's eyes widened as he scanned the area.

Tyki hadn't been outside the prison since their little scuffle and he was rarely seen around the prison, but now there he sat. He could see the unwelcome man sitting under the pavilion and atop of a steel picnic table like it was his throne and he was a king.

A bone chilling smile escaped the arrogant man as he noticed Allen's gray eyes on him and just for fun he blew a kiss to the white haired inmate and gave him a girlish wave, but he scowled as the motion backfired on him and the male inched much closer to that damned swordsman.

Tyki felt the slightest bit of annoyance make his nose twitch, 'damned swordsman....' He thought before allowing an evil smile, 'at least I'll be rid of him tonight.'

He watched as Kanda turned to Allen with a questioning look before he scanned the gangs usual spot for the inmate and his 'ring buddy'.

Their eyes met and they grew twin scowls, a mutual malice shining clearly in their orbs. Kanda put a comforting hand on Allen's shoulder, taking his attention away from the inmate, and they continued farther away from the gang.
