Nikola Tesla was not a boy, man, boy to be trifled with. He might have only been sixteen, thank you birthday for at least adding some dignity to his youth, but he was not someone that you deliberately annoyed. Not unless you wanted to keep your fingers, your car, your pride or whatever it was that you held precious. And someone had made an enemy of Nikola today and for that someone was going down.
"Really Nikola, you're taking this rather personally old sport. School prank, freshmen hijinks."
Nikola scowled at James as he tried to comfort him. Comfort him! Nikola Tesla! Shrugging the hand off his shoulders, Nikola gathered his papers before slamming his locker shut and storming towards the changing rooms.
"This is ridiculous, hand me that towel." Nikola ordered one of the freshman, removing his ruined shirt. Discarding his cufflinks as he began to strip, Nikola examined his beautiful, handsewn, expensive shirt. Slushied. He had been slushied due to his stature and age they had thought that he, he, was one of those ridiculous freshers. Swearing in his mother tongue, Nikola looked up at the other boy in the room about to rant before pausing. Ah, it had to be him didn't it? "Towel, please."

"I was wondering..." he began. "If you might be willing to help me with physics. I'm terribly behind from missing school, and I think... I think you're smarter than the tutor my uncle hired."
He paused, and then added quickly, "I could pay you, of course."
It might also had something to do with wanting to spend more time with him, but he wasn't about to say that.

"Ah, physics one of my favourite subjects." Nikola replied, folding his collar down and making sure his appearance was flawless before he pulled his waistcoat on. Looking at Alcuin, Nikola considered the proposition carefully before nodding. Science, money and he got to spend time with Alcuin no Delaunay what could be better? "I won't do your tests for you or help you cheat but if you really want a tutor and don't mind a hard taskmaster then okay, I'll tutor you. Do you want to start today?"

Nikola grabbed his things, nodding at Alcuin. "I'll meet you outside after the bell then?"

"I wouldn't take the main corridor today, it is haze the freshmen day after all. There's an emergency exit at the back of the Science classrooms that is always open, I'd go that way if you want to avoid slushies." Nikola added before waving bye at Alcuin. Taking the main hallway, Nikola glared at a group of jocks who winced and turned around walking the other way. "This is how it's supposed to be."
Nikola spent the day in relative undisturbed peace, he sabotaged the cars of the idiots who had slushied him during his lunch period and reset one of their school grades back to an E. Heading outside after the final bell, Nikola added the final flourish to his sweet revenge before waiting for Alcuin.
"You're late, trouble?" Nikola asked when he finally spotted Alcuin.

There was indeed a little bit of blue slushie in his hair.
Though before Nikola could respond, Alcuin waved out at the line of cars, and without thinking took Nikola's hand, pulling him out towards an expensive black towncar.
no subject
"You had a bit in your hair, all gone." Nikola replied sitting back in the seat. It was nice, much nicer than anything that anyone in Nikola's home village had. "Who was it? Just out of curiosity."
no subject
He leaned forward then, and said to Alistair, "Straight home, please. Nikola is coming along, he's tutoring me. Is Anafiel back yet?"
"No sir," the driver said. "Mr. Delaunay will be delayed in Paris for another day."
no subject
"Anafiel? Is he your father?" Nikola asked curiously after a moment before placing his hand down on the seat between him and Alcuin.

Nikola stretched his hands out, his small pinky finger brushing against Alcuin's hand ever so slightly.

He hesitated, an then let his fingers brush out a bit toward Nikola's as well.

The car began down a long driveway then, through a gate, and up to the front of a very large house. When it stopped, the driver got out and walked around to open Alcuin's door for him.

Nikola waited for Alcuin to lead, following him towards the house.

The inside of the house was well decorated, and Alcuin turned to lead them towards the kitchen.

Placing his hands on Alcuin's hips, Nikola pressed his lips together taking a breath before he stepped back. "Shall I set up outside or would you like me to wait with you?"
no subject
It was then that he realized he wanted him to.
A slight flush rose to his cheeks yet again as he said, "It will just be a moment, I'll bring the pot out to steep. Feel free to step outside and have a look around." There was a set of double doors leading to the back yard from the kitchen.
no subject
Smirking, Nikola left through the double doors. Wandering through the garden, Nikola headed towards the pool and set up on one of the tables there. Gathering two chairs, Nikola spread out their work and loosened his shirt, rolling up the sleeves as he sat waiting for Alcin.
no subject
He managed to boil water, though, and get out a teapot, and a few minutes later he walked out with a tray, holding the pot steeping with tea, and two cups, a small saucer of milk and some lemons.
"Do you like swimming?" he asked with a smile as he set down the tray.
