Gaius was more than content with his first class. It was a great start in the academy, for the curious little geist. Science had always been, unknowingly to him, a subject he'd taken great intrigue in. To make matters better, the topic being explored and taught to him and his classmates was about the wonders of plants!
Such interesting things, plants were. Silent, and hardly moving, yet somehow they could change in the timespan of a day. From such a tiny little seed, to things that could grow far taller than he! Though, he was still quite young, so that wasn't really anything too impressive. Seated comfortably in his chair, his sharp eyes stared and trailed along the pages of a colourful book that was on his desk. It contained different kinds of flowers, labeled with their names too. He'd stare at the letters briefly, but his attention was more focused on the figures of the flora. The mutated little wing attached to his back would even twitch ever so slightly when he'd turn a page and discover a new or exciting looking plant, eyes even widening in unison from their usually half-lidded position.
Memorized by what he saw, the sounds of others around him were becoming white noise, as was their instructors voice. A tiny finger tip lifted to gingerly trace some of the steams, and leaves, trailing up to the blossoms on some of the pictures that possessed them. So amazing~

 Malachi was back in one of his oh so very happy places. Science class. And yet, it was also a very lonely place since Hailey passed what she needed and moved on to other areas of interest for herself. The little Fallen was always so lost with out his social security blanket and buffer.
Not that he was here to be social! Oh no! This class was a sanctuary for learning, the teacher his preacher, and his desk the alter at which he worshiped. Malachi was always so fascinated by what was offered them to learn in this class, especially since plants were the subject they were focusing on as of late. They were his passion. While his classmates were busy talking amongst themselves, save for the few like him that were quietly listening or reading, Malachi eagerly awaited their next assignment. He enjoyed putting his mind to the task at hand and learning whatever was given to him.
As the assignment was handed out and Malachi wriggled in his seat, excited to get started in the workbook. It was almost sad to see his workbook growing thinner with each paper he had to take out and turn in, but at the same time it was a great thing because it meant he had the chance to learn that much so far! As he went to pick up his pencil, his little fingers missed and sent it rolling off the edge. "Oh darn it..." With a sigh and groan, he slide from his seat to the floor to chase after it. Crud muffins... it went under someone else's desk. As carefully as he could, Malachi inched over and ducked his head under the other's desk. Having grabbed the escapee, and without thinking about it, he lifted his head and bonked it on the underside of the desk. "Ochie" he groaned as he sat on the floor and rubbed his head.musicaloner7 Perfect start <3 He's so in his own little world of amazement -doki doki-

itsie bitsie spider haha yep, so easily distracted he is.
Entranced by the picture book, he was truly in his own little world. It was only when the shudder rumbled along his desk that he even took notice to his surroundings. Blinking slowly in response, and to slow realization to what had just happened, his gaze shifted to the side bit by bit, noting a pair of wings in his peripheral.
Leaning to the side, he peered down under his desk to see another freshling who was in his class, for some reason tucked under there. Staring at them, his head tilted, and he observed their body language. They were rubbing their head there.... did it hurt or something?
"Hey, what are you doing down there?" he asked curiously, peeking around the other student to see if there might be something of interest down there. Perhaps something had fallen out of his own desk onto the ground that'd piqued the other youngsters interest.

As his little head was letting him know that he hurt it, Malachi groaned to himself as he continued to rub where he hit it. There wasn't any thought of the fact that it could disturb the one that was topside, so when he heard a voice it caused him to feel startled. A squeak popped right out from the Fallen's mouth in his small moment of panic, head jerking up to see who was speaking to him. That wasn't the best thing he could have done at that moment as he bonked his head on the underside of the desk again.
Okay. So now the task at hand was to get out from under there before he did that again. He was already feeling pretty embarrassed, and didn't want to make himself look even sillier. Scooting backwards, Malachi sighed a small sigh of relief not to have his head under there anymore. Though his cheeks were heated up. Holding up his pencil in hand, he gave a small smile and offered his explanation quietly. "Pencil... sorry." He pushed up onto his knees, moving to peer over the desk of the other Freshling. "I didn't mess you up, did I?"

His wings twitched, and his eyes widened slightly from the initial reaction given from his acknowledgement, wincing ever so slightly as the other freshling got another bump on his noggin for a second time. Ouch. Gaius watched carefully as the little Fallen retreated from under his desk, peering at that blonde head of hair as though expecting a bump to have formed by now.
Scooting his feet out the way, to hopefully provide more room for his classmate, the mutant continued to watch intently, perking up when the item of interest was revealed. A pencil, huh? Must have fell. Turning in his seat, he aimed himself towards the other youth, lowering his torso to get a closer look, "Are you ok?" he asked, peering at the top of Malachi's dome again. He'd bumped his own head on more than a few occasions... and knew how tender the bashed area could be.
A surprised blink followed with the returned question, glancing back at his opened book that remained content on his desk. With a small shake of his head, he grinned, "Not at all. Was just staring at pictures. Need help up?" without waiting for an answer he slid off his chair, and held out his little hands to the other freshling, "can look at your head too, t'see if you got a bump on it." one of his babby wings made a pointed motion at his own head in gesture.

Malachi fiddled with the pencil in his hold, laughing a bit nervously as the other boy seemed to be looking for signs of damage or something. He couldn't help wondering how big the bump of his head was going to end up like, himself in all honesty. "I'm... I'm okay..." was offered softly in reply to the concerned question asked. Pink eyes fell, before peering back up shyly. "Thank you..." A bit of a smile crept across his features. "That's a right sturdy desk you have. I don't think it will fall ap... apart on you any time soon."
While he was at knee level, peering over the desk of the other boy, Malachi found himself taking a moment to admire the pictures in the book himself. The sound of the other boy moving made him turn his attention back to him. Oh. He wanted to help. There was a small inner debate as he tried to decide on whether or not to accept the offered hand, but then he reached for it and grasped it as he began to stand back up. "Thank you.. a.. again."
Little hand reaching up absentmindedly as he scratched the side of his head, the little Fallen winced. "I think I found it..." Malachi laughed a bit as his hand moved to where the ache was, wincing as he couldn't help poking at the bump on his noggin. He bent his neck to show the other his bump "Does it look big to you? It feels kinda big to me..." Not that he was making it easy to see as he began rubbing his hurt little head again. That smarts.musicaloner7 I totally ended up bumping my head this weekend and man it hurt lD It's like the universe was saying "Hey! This is what you get for not replying sooner!" XD

itsie bitsie spider oh dear. that happens a lot to me getting in and out of cars. 2small4talls.
Glancing back at his desk, he smirked lightly, and gave the surface a light knocking with a small fist. "Yeah. It's pretty tough." he confirmed with a little nod.
With the secure hold on his own hands, Gaius was careful in aiding the other freshling up on his feet, acting more of a support role, than actually lifting the Fallen up physically. "No problem." Leaning onto his tip toes, he looked to the indicated area that'd been knocked a few times, squinting as though it might help his efforts in seeing the injury. But the clear flinch from the blonde made it clear there was some residual damage from the little hits he'd taken.
Reaching to follow where the pink hand was, his own gingerly fished for where the bump was to see just how bad it was, before he spoke up again as an idea popped into his head, "We should get some ice. I think that's what you do for things like this." he nodded slowly, tilting his head to look to Malachi's face, "Wanna see if the teacher will let us go to the nurses office and get some?" maybe they put band-aids on things like these too! They sure did have cool band-aids there...

After the help of getting upright on his feet, Malachi made a quick mental note to do his best to stay out from under desks now. It was a bit funny having someone else looking at his head, and he couldn't help wincing some as they both poked at his noggin. What was it about things that hurt that made one keep poking at it to make it hurt more.
The idea of ice was a grand one. It would most likely make his bump feel a lot better. Lifting his head upright once again, Malachi gave a nod. "Ice would be nice..." And then he could just picture Hailey calling him a numb skull or something of the sort. The thought made him giggle some. Feeling wobbly, Malachi took the other's hand again to keep from falling while raising the other. "Teacher... Can ...." But he realized he didn't remember if he knew his classmate's name or not. "Can he help me to the nurse's office. I... bonked my head and it really smarts." When the teacher couldn't really hear him, he gave a glance to his classmate in hopes he wouldn't mind helping him make it up to the front of the classroom. He was feeling a bit wobbly still and didn't want to fall. That would be just his luck.musicaloner7 lol! You poor thing! -plops some protect-that-head gear on-

Nodding along, his wings perked lightly as he noticed how wobbly and unstable his classmates balance was, making his little fingers curl a bit tighter so as to provide more stability. That wasn't good... Pupils shrinking more to near lines as he intently watched Malachi, ready in case the poor guy might fall, he only blinked when those pink eyes looked back to him. With his focus shifting, his pupils returned to their normal state, nodding again with assurance.
Gently, his other hand came around to lightly hold onto the arm that had their linked hands, slightly hugging the Fallen to his side for optimum support, "Lean on me if you need to, k?" he gently murmured, as he slowly began to try guiding the both of them closer to the front of the class. Their other peers were curiously staring, and the movement managed to make the teacher look up from their lesson. Marching right up to them, Gaius proceeded to state the case, "so he needs some ice. And he's a little wobbly, so I'm gonna go with him. Is that ok?" the latter question was more of a formality, really, as he didn't really see a reason why clearance wouldn't be permitted.
The teacher expressed some concern for Malachi, leaning over to peer at the boys head. With a small nod, and a 'be careful', the two were given the go ahead.
As he had before, the Geist was careful in maneuvering the injured freshling out of the classroom, eyes flickering to him periodically to make sure he was alright, blinking suddenly with realization from the previous convo, "Oh, by the way I'm Gaius. What do you go by?"

It was such a reassuring thing to have a classmate that wasn't going to tease, but help him after doing something so stupidly silly. He was good at being a clumsy sort, so it was a break from the normal. Giving a nod in reply, Malachi went ahead and leaned on the other boy. He felt more dazed and lightheaded than before now that he was standing, so the extra support was appreciated.
He was in a bit of a fog as teacher and student exchanged words and concerns, wibbling again and increasing his hold on the supporting arm. As they started their walk out of the classroom the introduction bounced off of him like a ball on a wall for a moment. He really had to give it good thought as to what was going on for a few moments. Then he just felt silly, giving a small gasp coupled with an 'oh!' I'm... M.. Malachi..." he said shyly. He felt bad that he hadn't already known Gaius' name before. How rude of him! But then again, he wasn't a social sort. "Thank you, y'know, for all the help and stuff, Gaius." he offered along with a small smile. "I'm just glad it was your desk and not my friend Hailey's. Though it won't stop her from teasing me still. heh."
As they walked, he was beginning to feel a little bit more steady, but he kept holding on just in case. He was far too good at being clumsy to take a chance. "Sorry that you're stuck walking with me." His head drooped and he sighed. "I hope it doesn't mess up your school work too bad. Science class is the best."

Walking carefully and slowly down the hall with his classmate, his eyes would wander from time to time to their surroundings, getting distracted by a few eye enticing things; mostly posters and pictures. But he'd always make sure to check in on Malachi's progress as well, making sure he wasn't near fainting.
He also took the opportunity to take a little peek at the wings the other was sporting, sort of comparing them to his own. How come his own were so small... He knew little to nothing about the various species of their world, so was quite ignorant to his own obscurity. With the volleyed introduction, he grinned and let his gaze return to the pink face, "Malachi. First classmate for me to know." he giggled faintly, in a sort of amused and pleased fashion. The gently voiced appreciation earned a curious look from the Geist, who was even a little surprised by it, shaking his head lightly, "It's not nice to tease others when they're hurt." while he was mischievous himself, he had particular tastes in humor. Most that others found bizarre or just plain weird. "Is your friend in our class?" he asked shamelessly. Names weren't something he took too much mind to, and he knew none of his peers.
A small group of older students were walking by, talking rather loudly, making Gaius gently pull Malachi securely against him, and veer their path a little more out the way. The group seemed to snicker at the pair, but the Geist just kept on grinning casually, offering them only a small glance but nothing more. He did however almost miss the quiet little voice of his new companion, perking up as he picked up on that soft murmur. Lowering his head some, to tilt an ear closer, he caught the gist of it. With more light snickering, he smirked wider, "Wasn't doing much school work. Was just looking at pictures, is all." he really liked pictures especially in books.

It was a bit shocking when Malachi heard that he was the first of their classmates to meet Gaius. He seemed so nice and helpful. How did he not know other kids in class? For Malachi, he kept to himself and had Hailey, but it would have been no surprise that Gaius was the only other kid he'd know. "R--really?" he asked in a surprised tone. He couldn't help a small smile on his face. "Well I'm glad that we could meet, then... even if it was by me being clumsy." And though it was at his own expense, he couldn't help giving a small giggle. Then he was asked about Hailey. "Mmhmm... She's the Geist who sits on the other side of me in class. She's not mean or anything, but she can't seem to help laughing when I do something like that." His little nose scrunched up some. He was used to her teasing him, but he didn't see it as being mean. It was just who she was. "She's... mmmm... obnoxious, but she my best friend." he finished with a thoughtful smile. "What about you?" he asked, but realizing it was a very vague question.
But he didn't think too long on it when the older kids walked by them, clinging a bit tighter to Gaius, grateful that the other boy seemed to be protective over him as it happened. He didn't mind older kids, but older kids in groups made him very nervous. Not to mention that he sworn one of the older kids who picked on him before was in that group. Peering over his shoulder, seeing that they were long gone, Malachi let out his held breath. Phew. But the other boy easily pulled him back to feeling relaxed, even letting out a small giggle in relief as he hadn't interrupted his school work. "Oh... Oh yeah. I saw some of the pictures in your book. I like plants a lot. They are so pretty to look at."
And then they finally arrived at the nurses office. A place he knew pretty well at this point. Scuffing his feet as he slowed his walk to a stop in front of it, his hold on Gaius loosened. "Th--thank you again for walking me, Gaius. I probably would have fallen down earlier if you didn't help me down here." Malachi smiled as he gave up his hold completely. "The nurse... she can take over from here. She's getting to know me pretty well down here." Giving a small laugh and a bit of an embarrassed smirk, he took a couple steps through the doorway. "Thanks again, Gaius. Can you tell teacher that I'll be back soon... if they don't hold me hostage long?" Malachi waved before his head fell some as he made his way into the office, a blush heating up his cheeks as he heard the nurse say 'it's you again' with a friendly laugh in her tone.

itsie bitsie spider lemme know if you wanna start another rp with them.
Listening to him explain his friend, he tried to picture who was on the other side.... but all he could think of was the plants in the room, and the posters of them on the walls instead. Because of this, he started to zone out, getting distracted by the pictures he could recall, and his favorite ones that had a ton of flower species on a single poster. Checking back in to what Malachi was saying, he just caught the end tail of what was being said. What about him...? it took him a second to figure what was being asked, and just went for it, "I don't have any friends." he replied casually, "but hey, you're the first person to talk to me. So maybe we will be, someday." he giggled with a smile.
Back on the topic of plants, he nodded slowly, a sort of dreamy look on his face, "yeah, plants are so cool. They grow so big from such small things. And can live in so many places. And come in all kinds of shapes, and colours, and sizes." his tiny wings flittered and twitched blissfully behind him, as he gave a content little sigh, "so cool~"
When they made it to the nurses office, he was careful in letting go of Malachi, hands hovering just in case. But as the Fallen was able to keep stable, he let his arms relax at his sides. "No problem, Malachi. Take it easy, I'll let the teacher know." he smiled, "and Hailey." he'd have to figure out who that was exactly... but surely the guys best friend would want to know he was ok, right? With a small wave in return, he waited until the pinky was fully inside before taking his leave to head back to class.
