Room 317 [after classes]

[tatooine_doofus]

After an interesting conversation with his father early in the morning, Luke had gone for a long run.

And then an even longer session alone with the punching bag.

And then he'd tried some meditation.

Now? He'd spread parts to a small droid out all over the floor, back carefully turned away from the half of the room that was supposed to have a Z in it, and fiddled around with electronics.

Loud Corellian rock was blaring from his stereo and out through the open door.

If you asked him? He was fine.

"Or a sandwich board," Luke said, grinning.

"So long as we're not talking naked sandwich boards, I might go for that," John said thoughtfully.

"Don't let a teacher hear that, we might have to do it to get an A," Luke replied. "Though it does remind me to check and see if Jo was introducing this crop of new kids to shirtlessness. I think it was probably a little cold."

"Wow, you know, Jo got me to go shirtless last newbie day," John recalled the memory fondly. "Good times.

Luke laughed. "I asked her out because I was so distracted."

"Yeah, I wouldn't blame you," he chuckled, and then thought better of it. "I mean, not that I would look, um at all. Ever. Again."

"Excellent save on multiple fronts," Luke praised with a smile.

"It's difficult being a guy, a friend, and the evil, hated boyfriend," John shrugged. "But I do my best."

"The hated boyfriend's more my father's thing," Luke said. "As long as she's happy, I'm happy. And if she's not, she is more than capable of kicking your ass herself."

"And here I liked being hated," John teased. "Oh well, I guess I'll have to make do with having my ass kicked by a girl. Though hopefully only in the good way." Luke was dating Jo, he had to get that.

Luke shot him a grin that let him know that he totally got that. "I've never understood the appeal of the really quiet type, I have to admit."
