who: Martin and Theo what: Martin has schoolwork to do where: HQ sitting room when: Thursday 17th March 2011
Martin found, since becoming a teacher, that he always had an awful lot of papers. He used to have a better handle on organising it all, but he felt he’d never quite caught up with his work after coming back, and his desk showed it. He had finished class for the whole week, but had some revising left to do... he gave the desk in his small office a weary look and decided it wasn’t the right time to clear it off and make it workable. He had plenty of options (the classroom, the library, one of the common rooms, etcetera etcetera) but he felt like going to HQ. It had all the comforts of home without the grumpy distracting boyfriend, so he shoved his work into his bag and headed off.
When he arrived at Headquarters he resisted going straight up to speak to Theo and Ax, instead spreading his work out on the sitting room coffee table. He tried to tell himself was here to do work without Fabian banging about the Winnebago and picking fights, not to visit with friends... but he knew, of course, that they’d run across him eventually.
