Valin and Ozzie 5

Valin sits out by the chain-length fence encircling the school grounds, face skyward, eyes shut. He should be in physics...but what the hell.
Ozzie sits in his Geometry class, glancing up as his teacher calls him to her desk. She hands him a note, quietly giving him instructions on who to take it to. After giving a small nod, he leaves the class, quietly moving towards his destination. As he walks, he suddenly stops at the sight of Valin, blinking, "...Valin....?"
Valin, who is still seated in the grass by the fence, doesn't realize he's being watched, and continues to half-doze.
Ozzie quietly walks over to the other boy, slightly confused, "...Valin...? What are you doing out here...?"
Valin doesn't even open his eyes. He didn't need to. "Hi Oz...not much. Relaxing mostly...getting some color into my skin."
Ozzie cocks his head slightly, "...shouldn't you be in classes, though...?"
Valin shrugs, "Maybe."
Ozzie gives the faintest smile, shaking his head, "..I'm supposing you don't really care..."
Valin nods, "Why should I?"
Ozzie mms quietly, "...because, school is rather important..." "How so?" Valin shifts his weight, lazily slumping back and looking perfectly content.
"...well, because, almost everything later in life is based on your education, now..."
Valin smirks dryly, "Hm...don't think I'll live that long."
Ozzie tenses a bit, "...why do you say that..?"
Valin shrugs, "They way I fight with people...I figure I'll get shot down by some drunk in the subway or something. Or knocked in front of it...you know, something that'll give a sickening sense of amusement to the masses?"
Ozzie bites his lip, frowning, "...then maybe you should be more careful..."
Valin, finally opening his eyes, looks up at Ozzie, hrming, "What's life worth if you can't live it how you want?"
Ozzie continues frowning, watching Valin and saying nothing for the moment.
Valin raises an eyebrow, "Is something wrong?"
Ozzie, after a moment, shakes his head, "..no, nothing..." He glances at the note in his hand, deciding to stay a few minutes longer and figuring it couldn't hurt.
Valin reaches up, rather roughly pulling Ozzie down into his lap with a smile, "Good to know."
Ozzie yelps, blushing heavily as he's pulled downward.
Valin strokes Ozzie's cheek, holding the boy close to him. Protectively.
Ozzie continues blushing, quietly stuttering, "I should probably go deliver this..."
Valin sighs, "Why the hurry?"
Ozzie mms quietly, "..t-they may be expecting me back at class..a-and..."
Valin wraps his arms around Ozzie's waist, leaning into the boy's back, "I like having you here. With me."
Ozzie blushes a tiny bit more, turning his head slightly to look at Valin, "...you do...?"
Valin nods, replying softly, "Yeah."
Ozzie, after a moment, closes his eyes, leaning back a bit on Valin himself.
Valin frowns a bit, "I saw these girls...looking at you." His grip upon Ozzie tightens a bit... "And I didn't like it."
Ozzie blinks, "...hmm..?"
Valin frowns, "They were watching you and I heard them talking," he narrows his eyes a bit, "And I wanted to hurt them.”
Ozzie blinks once again, shifting a bit to look at Valin, "..what? Why....?"
Valin tightens his grip upon Ozzie ever so slightly, "...cause you're mine."
Ozzie flushes red once again, "...w-what? I am..? Since when..? I mean, aren't I my own...?" He stutters a bit in embarrassment, as well as confusion.
Valin laughs a bit, then shakes his head.... "No."
Ozzie mms, "...why not..?"
Valin smiles, "Cause I know you best and I care for you most...so you're mine."
Ozzie nods, still blushing, "O-oh.."
Valin hrms, "Or do you think otherwise?"
Ozzie shakes his head a bit, "..I suppose not..."
Valin nods, releasing Ozzie, "...then I suppose you'd better get that delivered."
Ozzie stumbles a bit to his feet, nodding, "Yeah...."
Valin watches him, a smile moving easily upon his lips.
Ozzie pushes back a bit of his hair, still a bit red. "..so..I'll see you later, Valin..."
Valin nods, having gone silent.
Ozzie gives him one more nod before quickly moving off.
