take a break | dimilix

The school had closed hours ago, but only Felix and maybe a couple of the custodians occupy the building. He's so focused on preparing for his classroom's assignment that he'd forgotten to attend hockey practise and he even cancelled Dungeons & Dragons with Bernadetta. He feels guilty for it, but work comes first in Felix's mind. Work first, friends second.

His phone buzzes a few times, multiple iMessage texts both Rodrigue and Glenn expressing concern, and a few other notifications from his friends in a Discord group chat. Felix silences his phone as he continues typing on his shitty Chromebook, the battery almost out and the charger barely working.

The classroom door opens slowly and one of Felix's coworkers steps in, running a hand through his pretty blond hair. "Aren't you heading home, Felix?" he asks quietly as he sets a cold can of iced coffee onto Felix's desk. "Your father called me to check on you."

"I'll be done in an hour," Felix mutters, eyes not once glancing away from the screen. He adjusts his reading glasses and continues typing, letting a frustrated sigh out when his computer freezes. "This piece of shit sucks, I'd ought to just bring my own laptop next time."

Dimitri smiles, nods. "Yeah, I had to put on Bill Nye and the Magic School Bus for my class since the website I needed for class was down." He glimpses at the clock hanging above, the time reading 6:35pm. "Hey, Felix," Dimitri says coolly, gesturing to the clock. "You should take a break, come on and get something to eat with me. I can drive you to Raising Cane's, since they close later than Mickey D's."

Felix clicks on the 'save' icon in his document app, his computer freezing once again, before it finally dies. "Motherfucker," he curses, slamming the laptop lid shut. He spins in his chair, sighs, stands. "Fine. I'll take the offer."
