	First smoke break of the semester
	Characters: Meka Palakiko and Open! Setting: The woods outside of school, Monday after classes Rating: SFW Summary: Meka is taking a smoke break while drawing The first day back to school was always a little bit rough for Meka. She loved school and going to class but it was the long day without being able to sneak off for a smoke break. She had been sorely tempted to skip out on Transfiguration for a smoke but couldn't bring herself to join the delinquents who skipped class on the first day back. So as soon as classes were out she hurried back to her room, changed into her own clothes, and grabbed her sketch book. Once she was well into the woods she settled down under a tree and didn’t waste time lighting a cigarette. She enjoyed the first few drags with her eyes closed, only focusing on breathing in the smoke and releasing it from her lungs. Okay. Time for drawing, she thought to herself, pulling out her inks and sketch book. Tags: meka palakiko

Kyle's first few classes had gone...well, about as well as could be expected. He did fine until they asked him to write things down, and then he'd failed most of his pretests.

He was feeling pretty down, about himself, school, the universe... Which clearly meant it was time for a well-deserved smoke break.

He spotted Meka while on his prowl for a comfy, shaded place, and his bad mood all but disappeared. He grinned and flopped down beside her, trying not to jostle her sketchbook with his wild elbows. He lit a cigarette gracelessly, took a long drag, and then finally beamed at her.

"What's up, buttercup?"

"Kyyyyyyyyyyle!" she said brightly drawing out the 'y' in his name. "Not much," she gave a little shrug. "Dying of nicotine withdrawal," she laughed.

"What's up with you bud?"

"About the same. Shitty first day back. Cigarettes cure everything, though."

He grinned at her, bumping their shoulders.

"You doin' all right on 'em, then?"

"Aww, professors bustin' your balls already?" she asked sympathetically as she set down her sketch book on the ground next to her.

Meka bumped his shoulder back and grinned. She laughed. "After sitting with you for a little while I might not be," she teased.

"Yep." He stretched his legs out and toed off his shoes. Wiggling his sock-covered toes, he took another drag off his cigarette.

"Heey, what's that supposed ta mean?"

"You'll be alright man," she said laying a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

She grinned. "Nothin' bad," she said lazily. "You and Keegan are pretty much my only friends who can keep up with this chimney," she laughed.

"I dunno about that." He sighed heavily, playing with his lighter. "I think I'm just stupid."

He smiled at her. "Smoking will kill ya, you know."

"You're not stupid," Meka said, her face concerned. "Sometimes professors just don't speak the same language as you, you know?" she shrugged a little. "I'll help you out Papa Bear."

She laughed then. "Smokin' might kill me but an attacking bear could kill me too," she smirked.

"Yeah. If I read better it wouldn't be a problem. But thanks, Meka." He smiled at her and threw an arm over her shoulders, hugging her to his side briefly.

"Yeah, yeah, I guess so. Watch out for bears, then!"

Meka leaned her head against his shoulder when he hugged her. She wasn't particularly into the "hugging thing" but she didn't mind hugging Papa Bear Kyle. It was kind of his thing.

"I'll keep my eyes peeled," she said with a lazy laugh. She was going to need to lit another cigarette soon. "What did you get up to this summer?" she asked.

Hugging was totally Kyle's thing. But he knew it wasn't Meka's, so he only hugged her a little while before letting go.

"Just the usual. Workin' my ass off, running around doin' stupid shit, that stuff. You?"

He held out his lighter for her, seeing that she was at the point where she'd need to light up another.

"I went to Rike's house for a few days, went mudding with her. It was so fun. Mud everywhere," she grinned fondly thinking of her summer fun. "Then I went to see my dad, he was not pleased to see my clothes," she said digging another cigarette out of her pocket. "Visited my brother in New York and went to see Rowan," she finished detailing her summer as she lit her cigarette with Kyle's lighter. "Thanks," she said handing it back. "Saves me one of my cute little matches," she grinned.

"Sounds like a lot of fun." Kyle sort of wished he'd had the time to go visiting people during the summer, but he'd had to work as much as he could, and Victor had probably been doing the same. There was always next summer, though.

"Good, can't have ya running out of those!" He laughed and lit another cigarette of his own.

"It was," she said brightly. "Maybe next break you can come out to Hawaii with me for a bit," she suggested.

She laughed again. "Very true. They are double useful.They're super cute and they light things on fire," she said smartly, a little mischief in her eyes.

"Maybe." He said, thinking optimistically. In reality, he probably just wouldn't be able to afford it.

"Both very important!" He grinned at her.

"Beach parties, luaus, pigs on spits, though that's not my thing," she grinned. "You need a break from all that work."

"Yes, yes they there," she said showing off her bunny matches. "I have them in three different colors and animals," she laughed.

"Yeah, I guess." He grinned at her. He really did hope he'd be able to make it.

"Nice!" He looked at them. They really were freaking adorable. "Those are so cool."

Meka felt bad that her friend spent pretty much his entire vacation working when she had been doing the exact opposite and getting into massive amounts of trouble. She found that getting into trouble was pretty much one of the only ways to get her dad's full attention. "There's no I guess, Kyle Copeland. Free room and board, cheap beer, and might I again mention... beach parties."

She giggled at her matches. "It's the one thing I can actually buy for myself without getting dubious looks from the cashiers," she grinned.
