I miss Gladio already. Reassigning classes wasn't the most fun

I'm starting up a new project. In addition to the dance classes I teach for the students, I'm going to be offering dance lessons on the weekends to anyone who's interested. I'm also thinking of doing some basic self-defense lessons. I know we have all kinds of combat training, but I figure some people might just want to know how to keep themselves safe in an emergency.

vanya.

You're not allowed to disappear. I'm pretty sure you're the only one keeping the Education Department together now. I mean, I'm doing my part, but you're definitely the glue.

tim.
Thanks again for taking on the sciences. I could have done it, but I think I have enough on my plate with the classes I'm already teaching and the new project.

Also, how did you guess my favorite pizza? You are seriously the best boyfriend. It was exactly what I needed.

vallo teachers.
I'm thinking we should have a social night. Just to get together away from work and decompress. Anyone interested?

edited to add: rogue.
Oh no.

There's a definite difference between offensive combat training and defensive 'keep myself from getting my ass kicked' training. If you get too many people interested, promise me you'll look for back-up. Okay? You don't need to burn yourself out.

vallo teachers.
You know I'm down. You couldn't keep me away if you tried.
kate/tim.
I mean, considering I was the dingus who only has two (well, now three) students, I had more than enough time to fill in. Even if I'm going to have to refresh my basic biology, chemistry, and astronomy knowledge. I haven't had anything other than geological and environmental sciences since undergrad.

And that was... Well. More of a group effort, if I'm honest. Jon and Georgie were already planning something for this weekend, and Jon happened to Know a few things when contributing to the discussion of what snacks to buy.

Tim, I'm used to keeping busy. I honestly haven't had enough on my plate. But I promise not to take on more than I can handle.

vallo teachers.
I figured you'd be up for anything social.

katetim.
Well if you need a refresher on the harder sciences, Mr. Stoker, I'm always around. Though I'd say you have anatomy down.

You're still the one who brought me pizza because I was stressed. But do thank Jon for me. It was sweet of him to think of that.

Say no more. I shall restrain my fussing to more appropriate things.

vallo teachers.
Is it that obvious?
katetim.
I could always use a pop quiz (or two or three) to test my knowledge, though, Ms. Pryde. It's only the responsible thing to do.

He likes you. Even if he's doing that thing he does where he's just begrudging about someone's existence just to try and avoid feeling feelings. He did it with Martin for waaaaay too long.

I appreciate that.

vallo teachers.
That you're an unrepentant extrovert? Just a bit.

katetim.
I guess I can help you brush up on it. Might have to get a little hands on with it though. But I always prefered the practical to the theoretical.

Well, I'm glad. I hope your friends like me. They're your friends, so they're important to you. Their opinion matters to me.

I think Jon and Martin are adorable together. I know you've said Jon wasn't always nice to Martin, but I can't picture it.

I'd say I would try and calm it down, but we both know that would just be a blatant lie.
katetim.
Well, I love you, so I can't see any reason why they wouldn't, too. They're men of great taste and distinction.

Honestly, them getting along this well is a bit weird for me, but I'm getting used to it. Also, I'm totally getting the money I'm owed if/when Sasha ever shows up because I told her Martin's crush was on Jon, and she didn't think he'd have such questionable taste.

You're lucky it's charming.

Oh Well, that's a relief. And here I was worried your friends were going to hate me.

They're really sweet. I'm glad they're happy with each other.

You want to come over and try that again in person?

I'm not planning on going anywhere. But I guess I need to make sure we have someone else in place in case I do.

We can sit down later and come up with a plan for if either of us vanishes. It's probably better to have something in place.

I have terrible pumpkin spice rum and a very friendly space dragon.

I suppose in the end Caroline would step in and make the call, but it would be better for her to have a plan to follow.

They make that in rum?

Always better to have some kind of plan, even if it ends up going out the window.

Apparently. Nyx got some by accident and gave me a bottle. I say terrible, but it's really not bad. Spices go well with rum.

It's too soon? Right? I mean...it's not that I don't feel the same way. I do. But it's too soon.

You know how bad I am at this. What if I'm making another huge mistake.

Love don't got no perfected timeline, Kate. It happens when it happens. I ain't sure we ever really get a say in it.

But the thing I've learned from these places is when it happens to embrace it because you ain't ever sure how long you've got.

You're right. I know you're right. I don't even know why I'm panicking. He's great. He's funny and smart and sweet and I really do love him.

I just spent so long wrapped up in Piotr. And then it fell apart. I just worry I'm going to screw things up again.

Because the other shoe always drops for us and you're waiting for it to happen. It's normal to worry. Just don't go letting that worry stop you.

You didn't screw anything up. Things just don't always work out.

Yeah. We really don't get good things.

I spent half my life in love with him. And it really wasn't healthy. I can see that now. But I never could when he was around.

Not back home, but in these places is different.

I had the same realization when I wasn't around Remy 24/7. No relationship should have as much fighting as ours always did.

I know. I just have to convince myself of that.

No. You definitely deserve better than that.

There was always an imbalance. And I know I came on strong, but I was fourteen. Piotr should have put a stop to it. He should have been the responsible one.

Tim's a good man and I'm so scared I'm going to screw it up.

He should've. The power dynamics in that were always imbalanced.

You won't. It's scary when things are finally going good. But you'll make it through it you keep talking.
