Projects Makes Things Twice as Hard (Hadox and Tohru)

Idly flipping through a book as he waited, Hadley couldn't help but tangle his hand in his hair with a sour expression. Not only was he alone- which never should've happened in the first place but Knox insisted he go on ahead while he went to get snacks- he had to wait for some imbecile from a ridiculous class he didn't even want or need so they could start a completely unnecessary group project. Had it only been his brother and him it would've been a breeze but no, groups of three and the perfect number of students to make it possible. It wasn't as if they even knew the other boy. Christ, the teacher just threw them all together like an impromptu sandwich. Unbelievable. But at least he had the common sense to stick the twins together even of one had been mysteriously absent. Small blessings, he supposed.
The waiting though. Unbearable. Not only did he have nothing to do he couldn't just up and leave, he needed to knock this ridiculous project out of the way as quickly as possible and to do that he needed to be where he told the interloper to meet him. Ugh. Hadley dropped his head onto the table with a loud thump, lifting it momentarily to rub at the mark and prop his head up to flip unseeingly through the pages as he waited and waited and waited for either Knox or a stranger.

Coffee, that’s what he needed, some coffee to get this bullshit over with. Tohru hated group assignments with a fiery passion, he’d much rather just write some forced essay than to have this project. How the hell did it happen? His first day there and he already had to make some stupid PowerPoint about the socioeconomic policies of the early 1900s with some stupid guy. He hated guys like that, ones who were attractive and knew it. It was awful. This whole day was awful. If this guy tried to be buddy-buddy Tohru planned on ripping the asshole’s heart out of his chest.
So, with these thoughts in mind, Tohru sipped at his coffee and glared at the library doors as if the room had personally offended him. The student took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and stepped in. The smell of books wrapped him up, something which would be comforting to most but which just made Tohru feel a bit sick to his stomach. The librarian did give him a dirty look for having a coffee, but he just brushed them off and found his partner at a table. Tohru clenched his free hand into a fist and moved over stiffly, sitting and letting his bag drop to the floor. “Let’s get this shit over with, then.” He growled under his breath.

The first thing that piqued Hadley's interest was the smell of coffee, rich and dark and everything he loved in the world. It took every ounce of willpower he had not to turn and stare like an eager dog at whichever lucky man had coffee. He did, however, lazily slide his eyes over when the sound of sliding fabric came from across the table, dark eyes taking in the rigid form of the asshat he barely registered being in his class as a deep from curled his mouth down into an unflattering expression. Fuck him six ways from Sunday, he could already feel the migraine building in his temples.
And he had coffee.
Hadley's expression soured even more as he narrowed his eyes a fraction and turned back to his book in an obvious display of snubbing the newcomer. "Pass. We don't even have our third person, idiota. I'm not doing anything until he gets here, compreendo?" Numb skull. It's called a group project, not a partner project.

This chair was insanely uncomfortable, and it only added to Tohru’s pre-existing aggression. What were these damn chairs made out of, nails!? How the hell was he supposed to get anything done if all he could think about was the bloody _chair!?_ The student gave an uncomfortable growl and sipped the bitter, flavorful liquid, stiffening more as he listened to the man speak. His eyes flashed and he leaned forward, pupils dilating,
“Don’t you dare treat me like a fucking idiot you stuck up piece of shit. I would rather be dead than be here with you. God you’re an asshole.” He let out an annoyed breath and crossed his arms tightly. Although he disliked the man, he couldn’t hold back a twinge of respect that at least he was honest. Tohru’s gaze flicked impatiently to the door, and he growled through gritted teeth at the man across the table, “…where the hell is he, anyway…?”

Hadley's brow twitches as he watches his unwanted companion sip at his coffee, the urge to snatch it away from him rising with every IQ damaging second. Though once he had the coffee the question would be whether to drink it for himself or to pour it all over that wretched eyesore's head. Both seemed like very satisfying courses of action. Though the second seemed like a waste of perfectly delectable coffee....
Oh. It was talking. Snapped from his pleasant fantasies of dousing a certain ingrate in scalding liquid, Hadley curls his lip and gives a derisive snort as he leans back in his seat and brushes back his unruly hair. "I wouldn't assume to talk to someone above their intelligence level. But I'm glad the feeling's mutual." He crosses his legs, propping them up on the table and glaring icily at the other male, "I don't know. I'm not his keeper."

Although aggressive and easily annoyed, Tohru wasn’t completely without kindness. He looked his partner, or…one of his partners up and down and gave a heavy sigh, reaching into his bag to pull out a second cup of coffee which had been riding safely in a thermos. He set it on the desk and slid it over, “Here. You look like you fuckin’ need it. I didn’t know if you liked coffee or even what you liked so I just got the same as mine. Drink it or don’t, I don’t care.”
Togru glared at the wall now, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the second partner so they could get this bullshit over with. What the hell was taking them so long? Ugh. He slumped back in his seat and returned his gaze to the asshole in front of him. Honestly…part of Tohru liked this guy. The man was openly displaying his dislike of him and Tohru really preferred that over false sociability.

Hadley curled his lip in distaste at the proffered thermos as he curled his hands into his shirt to keep from reaching out and taking the blasted thing, inwardly cringing and wanting nothing more than to guzzle the dark, rich liquid inside. So he instead huffed and jerked his gaze away from the temptation to glare out the window with a tightness to his face, "Pass. I don't need or want your charity." Lie, oh god how that was a lie. He'd very likely throw a small child for just a sip of coffee right now. Not that he'd ever admit to it.
Oh god, where in the world was Knox? It couldn't possibly take so long to get snacks and find the library. And there was no way Hadley could tolerate another minute with this.... thing currently sitting across from him. Absolutely not. Sooner or later he was going to snap and dump coffee everywhere, likely dig the other man's face into the floor before trampling on him. It would be quite a scene and it would be well worth the failing grade. So, so worth it.

Tohru rolled his eyes at the man when he declined the drink. Hadley obviously wanted it, but he was too stubborn to admit it. Idiot. Leaning back again, Tohru stretched before letting his arms fall to his sides, “Whatever. Not taking coffee when you obviously want it doesn’t make you tough or cool.” He said this flatly, eyes gazing emotionlessly at him for a few moments before traveling anxiously to the door. Why the fuck was their other partner taking so long!?
The student didn’t know how the hell he was supposed to handle this. Some asshole who thought he was superior sitting there with this overconfident air, it took all his effort to not tackle him to the ground and show him who the real man was, ugh he could just kill that guy, it would be worth it, even if he failed the class. How much longer was he supposed to sit here and wait for their useless third partner!? He just wanted to go back to his dorm and be by himself.

"Hadley, Hadley, on my way to Hadley~" Knox sang a little diddy under his breath, a soft hitch in his step as he skipped and the bag weighed down with snacks bumped against his back. It was heavy, yeah, but well worth the trouble if it meant something to eat while dealing with a stranger. His face soured at the thought and a group of students scurried out of his path like panicked insects. Serves them right. They were a blight on his existence, always talking and getting in the way and trying to be friends. Ugh. Disgusting.
Shaking his head to rid himself of such thoughts, Knox tramped up the stairs to the library only to quickly whirl on his heel and book it away from the entrance at the sight of the librarian. He peered around the corner with a scowl at the thought of the last time he got busted with food and was banned from the library. Not this time. Ducking away with a huff, he scoped around the sides of the building looking through windows for Hadley, coming up empty until the fourth window when he sees the back of someone's head in front of his brother.
Glaring darkly, he quickly forces open the window and quietly drops inside with a motion for Hadley to be silent. Knox dusts himself off and straightens out as he strides forward with a smile fixed on his face, breezing passed the stranger and knocking over his coffre before sliding into the seat next to Hadley and wrapping his arm around him, "Hey, Hads. Sorry I'm late. I got your snacks."

Hadley bristles at his obnoxious partner's spot on words and turns to rip into him only to catch sight of Knox in the window making a zipping gesture across his mouth. He blinks and runs a hand through his hair, making a swift okay sign with his hand in the process. He catches a snag, however, and swears softly while wincing at the sharp pain as he sits up.
He snorts with laughter when Knox spills the coffee and smartly lifts his book off the table, halfway falling to the side to lean into his brother when he sits down while grinning sharply. Ah, what a good brother he was. Hadley dramatically flutters his lashes at his double and cups his own cheek, laying on his accent thickly as he turns Knox's face towards his own, "Oh how you spoil me, irmãno."
