Saturdays were great for sleeping in and ignoring all homework and responsibilities. Especially when the weather was nice enough - not to hot, not too cold - to take a walk around the city, stopping at random food trucks to sample enough food to make you never want to eat again. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky, and River Locklear had just enough money in his pockets for that Middle Eastern cuisine he'd been thinking about for at least a week. But Lady Luck seemed to really hate River on this particular day when he was oh-so-kindly awoken by his screeching alarm. An arm snuck out from under the lump of blankets and slammed rather roughly down on the poor alarm clock.
"Are you friggin kidding me?" River's voice was rough from sleep and his instincts were telling him to turn the other way, clutch his pillow tight in his arms, and fall back to sleep without a second thought. The brunette fought against instinct and sat up in bed, immediately shivering from the sudden change in temperature. He shrugged out of his pajamas and wandered to his dresser. He pulled on a pair of jeans that he was sure should have been washed at least three wears ago, a ragged old t-shirt (because all his good shirts were in the wash and fuck if he was going to do laundry any time soon), and a pair of unfortunately neon mismatched socks. River stepped into his sneakers as he checked his phone and bolted out the door. At this rate, it would take a miracle to get him to his destination on time.
What had possessed the teen to agree to study sessions at nine am on a Saturday, River had no idea; he was merely living through his mistakes as he went along. Today, though, he dearly wished he'd gotten over himself and sacrificed his social life for that Friday night session, it was sure as hell sounding a lot better this morning than it had a few days ago. River sighed inwardly as he stopped abruptly at the crosswalk separating him from his destination: the College of Manipulation, classroom 301A.
River crashed through the classroom door, several profanities and "sorry's" on his tongue. He stopped and looked up to realize the classroom was completely empty. "Are you freaking serious right now?" he shouted to the empty classroom, wiping his hand down the side of his face in anger and whining to nobody in particular, "If you're gonna make me get up at freaking nine am the least you can do is be on time!"
River climbed onto the closest desk, crossed his legs pretzel style, and let out a heavy sigh. And now we wait.

Saturdays were great for chilling with his friends and taking early morning walks around his neighborhood. The weather was gorgeous, with the sun gracing everything its rays touched with its warm glow and shine. As the light shone through the window into Terrence's room, and onto his eyes, he yawned and slowly sat up on his bed. As he rubbed his heterochromatic eyes, he got out of his bed to go about his normal morning routine. Brush teeth, wash face, check if a shave is needed, and put on clothes while listening to the news from the TV.
He was about to zip up a thin hoodie when his phone blared out an alarm. With a quirked eyebrow, he took out his phone and read the text that was on the screen -Study Session at 9! - only to groan in annoyance. Seriously? I just chose Saturday as a day since I had to have at least three days to have office hours. I didn't think anyone would actually want to meet with me... With a quick glance at the time on his phone, he huffed. Right. It's 8:30 right now, so I can get there in about an hour if traffic isn't too bad.
With that, he quickly changed from his jogging clothes to something semi-formal. Over one of his signature custom-made wife beater shirt/face mask hybrid was a white dress shirt. After putting on some black pants and shoes, he headed out.
-------------
By the time Terrence reached the school, it was already ten before 10:00. As lazy as he is, he tries to follow through with promises and meetings. Just because he's lazy doesn't mean he's rude or not respectful. "Hopefully this'll be a good enough apology..." He murmured as he opened the door. Inside the classroom, he saw the student he was to teach and gave him a sheepish expression. "Sorry about that. Traffic was dreadful."
With that, he dropped off his peace offering - some good chicken over rice - in front of River, and pulled up a chair to sit opposite of him. He pulled out his own halal goodness from the bag, and motioned it to River. "So, as much as it pains me to say it, I'm afraid I don't know you too well. How about we introduce ourselves as we eat, hm?"

River Locklear was by no means a patient person - he was an eighteen year old boy, there was no keeping him still for more than a few hours. And these stupid lessons were starting to turn into a giant pain in the ass for him. If this was the way it would be every Saturday, River was going to be pissed. What was the point of getting up early and running across campus with barely a crumb in his stomach at a hellishly early hour just to sit around for hours on end.
Hell, after the first thirty minutes, he'd even resorted to Flappy Bird. Not that the game made his mood any brighter.
River growled in frustration for probably the five hundredth time before slamming his phone down on the table. He slid off the desk with grace and grabbed his phone angrily. Why sit here and waste a whole day just waiting for some shitty professor? There were things to be done, after all, and food to be eaten. The brunette turned on his heel only to find said professor standing casually in the door frame.
To say River was beyond pissed was an understatement. The boy was livid. He had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep himself from shouting. It wasn't too nice to disrespect a professor, after all. Unfortunately. River relaxed upon seeing the bag in the other man's hand. His professor went out of his way and spent good money to feed River as an apology for being late? Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
"Is this...?" River muttered, more to himself than anything. He looked up into his tutor's eyes, "Dude, you're a fucking livesavor,"
River blushed immediately at his words and looked away awkwardly. "I... uh... sorry," he scratched the back of his head, "I didn't mean that. I'm starving, though, so thanks," he grabbed his box and one of the accompanied forks and dug in, shoving his face full of food in a less-than-attractive manor. "Mmg nammbs Rehvhag, by tha wheh," River spoke through a horrid mouthful of food. Realizing his mistake, and that the professor probably thought he was absolutely crazy, and first impressions were always thing, River swallowed his food and tried again, "Sorry, my name's River, I guess you knew that, though? Since it's your job?" he stumbled awkwardly over his words, Ah, anyway, I can manipulate electricity, but I guess you knew that, too, since you're here to teach me," River's face heated up. How was he supposed to tell someone about himself? How was he supposed to talk to an adult without sounding stupid? This was harder than he imagined. He apologized again and took another bite of food.

...Maybe I should come late more often. Terrence thought as he watched River's face go from rage to awe to sheepishness in less than ten seconds. He almost forgot about his own halal goodness as he watched River completely destroy his own. Sadly, his amusement was cut short as River reminded him why he was even here at this time of day. ...That, and the smell of the chicken over rice was getting a little too irresistible at this point.
"Yes, yes, that's nice and all, but, like you said, I already knew that. Seeing as how we're gonna be stuck with each other for the current semester, we may as well know each other a little bit more. I'll start to give you an idea of what to say." He started opened up his own container of food, and liberally added the white sauce as he spoke. "While being called Professor Kang is flattering and all, I'd rather be called by my name in these sessions. Terrence, Minsoo, hyung, and hyung-nim are all fine."
After adding half the container of the dangerous red sauce, he began mixing. "I like teaching, my hometown of Queens, dogs, and the occasional prank. I dislike those who threaten those close to me, overly sweet things, and work I don't want to do." With that, he turned around, and pulled down his mask as he began to eat. "Oh, and don't mind my odd habits. If it seems like I'm being rude, tell me. I just prefer not having someone look at me face to face when eating."
After the first couple of bites, he blinked and sighed. "Oh, and it's nice to see another electricity manipulator around. Luckily for you, I'd be able to handle your freak-outs with electricity, but let's work on that, hm? I'd rather not pay for the property damage." He joked with a light tone.
