Duke quickly made his way to the gym as he set his bag down with his cup. He was actually excited for gym today since Coach Grace said he could practice soccer with Agatha today as a test of endurance of both sides. He walked to the changing room as he switched into his shorts as he sighed "Alright focus, don't use your martial arts in this game unless things get physical." He walked out of the changing room as he looked at Agatha who just smirked at him in a "Watch your back" kind of way, Duke nodded as they walked to the court where Coach Grace had set up a makeshift soccer field. Lir waved at Duke from the stage where he was watching the game from, Duke chuckled giving him a toothy grin as he went to his side of the court as he focused. Coach Grace sighed softly as he spoke to Duke and Agatha "Alright, I want a clean game. No punching, cursing, or scratching." He then blew into his whistle as Duke moved quickly to kick the ball as he watched Agatha's movements closely as she tried to block him from the goal. Duke smirked as he seen a opening as he kicked the ball aiming into the net. Agatha watched as it flew past her head as she attempted to block it with her head as it made in the goal. Duke smiled as he turned to the coach who smiled at him "Point to Duke! Alright Yeager, next time focus on his movements and not what happened at lunch today!" Duke turned back to Agatha who's face looked similar to a raisin as she waited for the whistle as it blew as she ran forward shoving Duke to the side.
Lir had stood up moments before and had just hopped off the stage just as Duke got shoved towards him as he landed on top of Duke. Lir heard a small squeak as he landed on Duke as he turned dark red "S..Sorry! I did not mean to" Duke chuckled softly his cheeks a vivid red "I..It's fine all is well, there is no need for sorry." Lir heard Duke whisper "I kinda like this?" as he stood up offering his hand to Duke who took it standing up chuckling "That wasn't so bad! I have been knocked over by worse." Lir tilted his head not noticing Agatha's fangirl eyes at him and Duke as he looked at the scratch on Duke's face "Hey Coach, he has a scratch on his face." Coach Grace walked over looking at the scratch nodding "Alright, Lir get something to clean it with, Yeager! You go mop the girls changing room." Lir nodded leaving to get some water and some soap as he thought to himself "What was that he said, he liked being near me? Nah, I am sure he was just saying that to keep me from feeling bad. Anyway only way I can know for sure is after school today when we get to my house, or maybe on the ride there." He walked to the nurse's office as he spoke with a smile "Duke got injured in gym today, it was just a minor cut but I figured you would have the stuff to clean it." The nurse nodded as they grabbed a bandage and a wet washcloth with some soap on it. Lir smiled "Thank you Nurse Tasha." He said as he headed back to the gym and to the coach's office as he seen Duke and Coach Grace were sitting in there. Lir opened the door giving Duke a soft smile "I got the stuff to clean it coach."
Duke smiled at Lir as he entered as he was kinda still embarrassed after the incident, Grace nodded as he took the wet washcloth as he gently wiped it on Duke's cut "The cut isn't that bad just minor, should heal within the day." Duke nodded as he felt the heat of the washcloth combating the heat of his cheeks as he smiled "I think it's good coach, Lir can apply the bandage." Lir seemed shaky to Duke but he didn't mind as Grace stopped cleaning the area as Lir applied the bandage carefully shaking a bit. Duke smiled brightly as the bell rang, "Welp, looks like it is time to go to math."
Duke stood up as he went and grabbed his bag heading to the door as he was stopped by Lir who chuckled "Come on we can walk together like old times in 6th grade at Delta?" Duke chuckled with a big smile "Sure, we can do that. Just remember that we have actual work unlike 6th grade during this time." Lir smirked "Yeah this time in 6th grade was playground time." Duke chuckled "Yeah, well.." He looked up as they had made it to the classroom door "We are here and not a moment to late."
He said opening the door for Lir as Lir walked in followed by Duke. Duke took his set beside Lir in the rows as the teacher was writing on the board "Alright class, as you know our basketball boys will be going to state championship this Friday. So this week will be mostly consisted of minor worksheets and some ILO." Duke nodded as he listened to the teacher as she began discussing Vectors in Three-Dimensional Space as Duke watched carefully knowing full well that it was likely that Lir was not going to understand certain parts of the lesson.
Duke sighed as the teacher finished talking as she began passing out worksheets to the students, on one hand he was glad the lecture was over but on the other hand he was rather bummed that the lecture didn't last until the bell. He took his worksheet looking over it as he began to work on the assignment to get as much as he could done before the class was let out. He managed to answer 6 out of the 15 questions on the assignment before the bell rang.
