Distractions (Jebs)

[MONA LISA DRAGOTI]

Mona sat on a bench outside of her class. She used her text book as a desk as she wrote out her paper, It wasn't due for another three days but the quicker she got it done the better. She could focus on other things, such as her suicide patients. She didn't want them to think that she had forgotten them. She went to see them almost everyday but she still felt like it wasn't enough. She understood what most of them felt, she had felt similar things when she was younger. So to make up for that she did all her school work early and all her intern work late at night. She slept during her High school classes, since they were easy for her.

Mona rubbed some of the tiredness from her eyes as she wrote up her paper. She hopped she got a good grade on it, if she didn't she would be so disappointed in herself. She wanted perfection in every thing she did at school. And she wanted it always. She wish she had photographic memory that let her keep everything filed away, but she was glad in some ways that she didn't . If she could remember everything then she would never be able to forget the past. The thing she most wanted to leave behind.

Mona blew her bangs out of her bangs re-read over her paper. She was worried that she didn't do it right, It was one of her first assignments for college classes and she didn't want to screw it up. She took a deep breath to calm herself and put on a confident face before continuing. She smiled at some girls who complimented her blue heels. Mona gave them her "Mona Lisa" smile and then continued to keep writing.

Mona heard her phone ring and realized the alarm for her next class was going off. She had to put an alarm on her phone due to their being no bells in college. She grabbed her stuff and stood up stretching slowly before turning and walking into her class room, only to be stopped in her tracks as she saw something that stunned her into shock.

[JAMES MORIARTY EDWARDS]

James was the first to admit that having mostly exclusive relationship with someone who worked in the same workspace had definite perks. One such perk was the ability to spend some 'alone time' in the middle of the day. James was between classes and coincidently, so was Sebastian. James surprised Sebastian during the thirty minute mutual break.

It only struck him as odd halfway into those thirty minutes that he had gone out of his way just to surprise the lad. James never went out of his way for anyone save for himself. Sebastian had managed to worm his way into Edwards's life so completely that James had just...

Adapted.

It wasn't bad, perse, just different. James hadn't let himself get into this position for a reason, it was unchartered territory and he didn't have the want, or need, to traverse it until recently. James felt a sense of obligation where the boy was concerned, because he knew what the boy was and he knew how much the boy cared for it. It was more power than fear could ever garner. Love was the chain that bound Sebastian to James, it was the whip that James unleashed across his shoulder's when things weren't going perfect, and it was the weapon that James could use against Sebastian whenever he needed. It was a rush, it was the ultimate form of control and if it weren't for the work that he had to put into it, James would do the same to everyone in his life. It was exhausting though, keeping the ugly, tarred parts of himself tucked away and out of sight so that Sebastian could only see the good and mildly unpleasant aspects of him.

Living as Edwards had becomea full time job, giving up Moriarty for when he had the time and needed the dose of adrenaline. He may be restless this way, but he was smart enough to know that he was secure and content.

As it was, James had Sebastian pressed against Sebastian's desk, his lips firmly attatched the boy's and his hands under Sebastian's shirt. Hearing the door open, James pulled away and glanced first at the clock on the wall then at the intruder. Seeing some collegiate bimbo standing there, gaping in shock, James rolled his eyes and pulled away from Sebastian with a sigh. He still another fourty minutes before his next class but Sebastian's was starting up soon.

As he straightened his tie, James spoke rather brusquely to the girl. "What's the matter darling? Haven't seen two men together before?"

[SEBASTIAN TIMOTHY MARTIN]

Sebastian had been rather wary of making out in his own classroom. Not that they hadn't had sex before in the school, on the contrary they had, but it was in James' office, where no one was sure to bother them. His classroom was a different story, and he'd managed to convince James to just make out, and not go all the way, since his class would be starting soon.

Unfortunately for him, he hadn't been looking at the time. He really should have, because if he had they surely wouldn't have been in this particular situation. As it happens, students weren't really supposed to know about their teachers love lives, and certainly not a gay man's personal affairs.

He was completely embarrassed to his core, and proceeded to tuck his shirt back into his pants in a frenzy. He had recognized the girl as one of his students, a particular over acheiver, which is why he remembered her so well. "Mona! Oh, God... Um..." He smacked James lightly beside him, eyes never leaving Mona. "I'm so sorry, you see... Um... Uh..." His brows furrowed, trying to explain himself in a way that was appropriate, but he came up with nothing.

"Hehe... Um..." Its not like James and he were a secret, everyone knew. But he didn't want one of his students being too embarrassed to come to class.

He decided to just say 'to hell with it' and tell her straight out. "You see, um... Professor Edwards and I were making out, because we're together you see... I'm very sorry to inconveniance you!"

[MONA LISA DRAGOTI]

Mona felt highly offended at Professor Edwards assumption that she was in shock because they were two men kissing. She being active in the LBGT community, she had seen many different combinations of people making out. No, she was shocked because two Professors, one of which was her own teacher were making out while class was starting. Mona didn't care what they did, or when they did it, but Edwards shouldn't be angry at her because she was shocked to see two Professors making out on a desk only a few seats from her own!She wanted to tell him off for being a inconsiderate jerk, who didn't even ask questions before accusing someone. But seeing as she may sometime in the future have him as a teacher she thought better of it. Though she really wanted to just tell him that he was being rude.

Professor Martin on the other had was very kind considering the situation. She doubt she would be as proper as he was if their roles were reversed. She would most likely be a nervous wreak, especially since she didn't advertise that she was lesbian. She looked at the two of them together, even though they were caught they still stood close together. It was almost sweet to see them together, almost Edwards ruined the mood with his loud mouth comment. Martin was adorable, not in the way that most people thought of. In the way of how he tried to make sure Mona wasn't uncomfortable. She was happy that he made the effort but really she didn't feel weird about it. She was just in shock that they were doing it in the classroom. She tried to keep her face a calm as possible as she walked into the room.

Mona walked to her desk at a normal pace, something she was proud she accomplished. She sat down and watched the two. She analyzed them with careful eyes, and made mental notes about their body language. She put her paper on the corner of her desk trying to buy some time while she thought of what to say to them both. She looked down at her organized desk and sighed softly before looking back up at them with calm eyes.

"Despite what you may think Professor Edwards, I do not care if are gay or not. It is none of my business who you chose to have a relationship with or not." She looked directly into his eyes while she spoke.

She turned her eyes to Professor Martin and softened her gaze, "Professor Martin, it is none of my business if you want to make out with Professor Edwards in your own class room, it is your room. I was just in shock, it's not often that you walk in on two professors making out in your class." She gave him a slight smile before looking down at her paper.

[JAMES MORIARTY EDWARDS]

"Despite what you may think Professor Edwards, I do not care if are gay or not. It is none of my business who you chose to have a relationship with or not."

James raised an eyebrow, facing Mona straight on with a smirk. She was gutsy, not like most college students. James had never had her in class or she'd never speak to him in that manner. He turned to Sebastian, and said lowly, "I like her," James straightened back up and addressed Mona once again. He considered briefly making a rather inappropriate comment about a standing invitation to join them but resists. His job wasn't worth the jibe. Checking the clock again, James gave a sniff of disapproval.

"How about I sit in on your class for a bit? I don't have anything else to whittle away the time with until my block begins," James wouldn't be paying attention to the actual course. He'd spend it watching the students and how they reacted to Sebastian. The boy wasn't a great teacher. He had no command in the classroom, or anywhere else for that matter. Sebastian was a wet blanket. Fun in the bedroom but in the real world his was a doormat.

Without waiting for an answer, James took a seat towards the back of the classroom. He leaned back in the chair, propping his feet up on the desk. He crossed his hands behind his head and settled himself in for what he was certain to be almost no entertainment.
