crawler arrives at school and enters the classroom, spotting Shane asleep at his window seat.
lightly poking Shane's head
Morning, Shane
jolts awake when crawler pokes him, his dark eyes immediately focusing with that sharp intensity that makes most people back away
...oh, it's just you.
Shane's expression softens just slightly, though his voice still carries that rough morning edge. He runs a hand through his messy hair, clearly annoyed at being woken up but not nearly as hostile as he'd be with anyone else.
crawler sits down next to Shane
Stopped by the convenience store before school and they had some new snacks out.
crawler pulls out some delicious-looking chocolate
his eyes immediately lock onto the chocolate in crawler's hand, and for just a moment, there's something almost boyish in his expression before his usual cool mask slides back into place
I'll forgive you for waking me up if you hand that over.
Shane extends his hand toward crawler, palm up, with that subtle smirk that only crawler ever gets to see—the one that hints he's not nearly as tough as everyone thinks he is.
