Ethan inhaled as the familiar smell of potpourri filled his now as he and Herc made their way through the Apartment Lobby and up to Tora's room. They were lucky it was move in day and Edgar, the lobby man, was busy organizing things for the bonfire. If the man had spotted students wandering into the Professor's Apartments they'd be kicked out in no time. However, Lumiere's friendly smile greeted both Herc and Ethan as they entered. Ethan had spent a fair amount of time sneaking around the apartments. They were much better kept that the dorms and, honestly, he couldn't stay away from the mini bar. He'd crash at Jack's and Tony's place from time to time after the three of them came back drunk out of their minds and then there were those few times Ethan would sneak in to see Elizabeth in the mornings. Of course, the woman never gave him the time of day, but Ethan wasn't one to give up so easily. Through all of his rule breaking expeditions Lumiere had always been his ally when it came to escapes. From distracting Edgar to opening up doors and gates, Lumiere had done more for Ethan than he could ever repay.
As both men approached Tora's place, there was an awkward second shared between the two boys. None of them had been in Tora's apartment before. Heracles had always kept it professional between him and the lady and as far as Ethan goes, well, his relationship with Tora starts and ends in school grounds. Ethan had grown to see Tora as a respectful adult and probably even a professional partner, so coming over to her place for "good news" was a bit more out of Ethan's comfort zone than he'd like to admit. However, putting aside the fact that he was willingly going to a female's room with no intention of have sex, Ethan followed Heracles as he led the way. When the two reached the door Ethan was surprised to see Valentina, the school's hot art professor, walking out with a displeased face. As usual both Heracles and Ethan flashed the lady a smile. Ethan moved out of her way politely, but not before letting her walk away without a compliment. "Ms. Corazon. Looking as captivating as ever I see. I'll be looking forward to seeing you again at the bonfire. Ethan winked in her direction however unsure if she saw his gesture. With a sly smile forming across his face, Ethan continued following Valentina with his gaze taking in all those sexy female attributes God gifted her with. The lady was quite a piece of eye candy and Ethan was just a little boy at a candy shop.
Once Valentina was out of view, Ethan turned back to look at Heracles who was, in return, looking at him as if he'd walked into his parents procreating. His face read bewilderment and his body language read embarrassment. Ethan matched the confusion in Herc's eyes for a moment, not understanding what came over his friend until Pino came up from behind both of them. "good job Captain! You snared an idiot. Ethan shifted his stare from Herc's puzzled face to Tora and Rodger looking rather cozy. The second both parties realized their secret was out, Rodger blushed red and Tora, as usual, played it off as if the kiss between a student and professor was nothing. For a second Ethan didn't know what to think exactly. His mind went bounced back and forth from "Really? You picked that over this" to "Congrats man! Now you're playing the big leagues!"
After the initial shock of Tora's and Rodger's smooch, it was a bit hard for Ethan to ignore what had just happened. Despite being a bit angry at losing Tora to some player wannabe, Ethan felt the tension created by Tora being so casual about the situation while Rodger was clearly not brushing it off as easily. He'd already gotten himself a slice of pizza but aside from picking off two pepperonis, Ethan wasn't eating which was very unusual of him. Sure, there had been many signs of Tora's affection for Rodger, he'd always pictured her falling for a more independent man, not one that does illegal trades as a business. While Ethan, in no possible way, saw himself as a suitor for the Captain, he had hoped she'd strive for someone...better than a college student. Perhaps it was the fact that he saw her as a power house and felt she deserved someone just as great. What bothered him most, was how everyone seemed to be okay with this while Ethan was certainly not okay. "So..." Ethan said clearing his throat and putting on a charming smile. "What was the surprise you had for us Captain?" Though Ethan could already tell where this was all leading too, he needed a change in discussion. Preferably one not involving Tora kissing Rodger.
