lost but not forgotten

X: I'm bored out of my head at home.

X: What you up to?

E: finishing up lesson plans for the second week of school

“If it’s that old I hope you got rid of the probably unfortunate amount of dust it collected.” Willow stated deciding to keep her thoughts about who was the better Spider-Man to herself. “Are you doing some de-cluttering or are you just really into Spider-Man that you can’t part with it?” 

Nodding, “Oh I made sure that I wiped it down and sanitized it before I put it on the first time. I’m sure there were some cobwebs in there. Which is gross.” He looked down at the mess of his desk. “Uh, I was going through some of the things I’ve been accumulating over the past couple of years. One of my students asked to borrow this for this semester, so I figured I’d pull it out. I should de-clutter, shouldn’t I?”

“ it’s actually as old as me , geez , ” she said and chuckled softly, looking at the male who put the spider-man mask on top of his head . “ uhhh , by the way… tom holland is the best spider-man , by far , ” she said and grinned as she crossed her arms over her chest , while looking at the other with a smirk on her lips . shrugging her shoulders casually , nora licked her lips casually . “ though, tobey did start everything so i guess i can give him that . ” nora was just teasing , but she really did think that tom holland was the best one . 

Elijah was hurt. “Tom Holland is an amateur. Tobey is the best, and will always be the best.” He gave her a look of sadness on his face, before nodding and widening his eyes. “See! Yes, thank you. He is the OG.”

“Do your students hate you more or less because you’re an actual child too? Not a dig, a genuine question.” That happened to conveniently double as a dig.

“Contrary to popular belief. They like me more because I’m an actual child.” He clarified, pointing a finger at the other. “I get their memes, I get all the lingo going on right now. Which I’m sure you can’t say the same.”

“You did not pay more than 10 bucks for that right? Because there is no way in hell that that mask is the one that Tobey Maguire wore- and you were robbed otherwise,” Lake was leaned up on the couch watching Eli struggle to put on a spider-man mask. “Besides- I came to watch Spider-Man, not watch you try to be Spider-Man. And no- we will not be watching the ones with Andrew Garfield because I don’t acknowledge it and you can cry about it later.”

Elijah looked down at the mask and frowned. He definitely paid more than 10 bucks for it. A lot more than that actually. “It is. I swear.” Putting the mask neatly on the table in front of him, he sat down on the couch. Patting the spot next to him. “It’s fine. The Tobey ones are superior anyways.” He grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. “Oh wait, can you grab my drink, it’s on the counter behind you.” He sent her a smile. “Please, and thank you.”

“That thing hasn’t fallen apart?” Robin asked. “Ugh, that movie gives me bad memories. I keep thinking of the movie’s sequels. The Dark Spiderman? With the emo haircut? Yuck.”

“It has not.” He was glad she pointed it out. “I take very good care of it.” Sliding the mask off, he placed it in his lap. “Also, that wasn’t his best. But it’s the source of a great laugh, and very good memes.”

Today was a turning into a long day at work for Daniel, not that he minded. His shift had almost been over when there’d been an emergency call for a Mama dog and her puppies running around by the docks. Naturally, he volunteered to go on the call with a coworker. There was a lot of scouring the area but thankfully once they’d located the little family huddled in a crawl space, it didn’t take too long before everyone was safely and soundly in their care. He brought mama and her pups to the vet to get checked out, and the team told him it’d probably be a couple hours so he figured he might as well grab a snack or something while he waited. Besides after all the running around, a frozen hot chocolate sounded real good right about now. Stepping into the cool air of Tim Horton’s, Dan’s eyes scanned the other occupants. His gaze landing on a familiar face, he nodded their way. “Well look who finally got out for some fresh air.”

Elijah had been working nonstop, trying to think of lesson plans for his kids. It was not too far from Tim Hortons, and grabbing his wallet he headed out of the high school and into the fresh air. Upon hearing the others voice, a small grin was planted on his face. “Dude, I’ve been stuck inside all day writing up lesson plans. What are you doing out? No more animals you need to take care of?”

To describe how Lilith was feeling right now, tired would be an extreme understatement. She had a very long week at the doctor’s office of running around doing exams and filling in charts. As well as taking care of the locals that regularly came in for check ups. In order to truly enjoy this weekend to the fullest, she decided to stop by the library to pick up a few new books and return the ones she had finished. As she wandered the aisles looking at possible books to read; she spotted a book that a coworker of hers had told her about on the top shelf of the philosophy section. There was no way she was going to be able to reach it. A person turned into the aisle she was in, so she decided to ask for help. “Hey, do you think you can reach this book for me or help me find a ladder?”

Elijah tried his hardest to keep up with the times, and all the new books being published. He was a bit of a bookworm even though it didn’t seem like it. He much preferred films but a book every once in a while kept his brain sharp. His fingers grazed the spine of the books as he read each title. Hearing a voice, he glanced over. “Oh, yeah. Sure.” The 5′11″ male sauntered up to the girl. “Which one can I get for ya?”

Skip… Skip… Skip… Skip… None of the songs on her playlist really seemed appropriate for this run today. The morning air was crisp and cool against her skin, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. Her curls bounced with each step and her eyes cast down on the darkened screen below. She knew this trail well, leaping over the cracks and stepping up when the ground became uneven. What she didn’t know was that there was another person on the trail, traveling slightly slower than she. The moment she looked up, she collided with the person in front of her, force knocking her onto her butt. Her eyes wide, phone face down - half in a puddle, and chest heaving, the girl gave a bewildered look at the person in front of her. “I’m… Wow, I’m so sorry. That was totally my fault.” 

Elijah wasn’t a runner. Hell, he wasn’t even a walker. But he got in his head, and thought ‘hey, maybe i’ll try going for a run.’ God, he should not have done that. His breathing got heavy and he doubled over for a second with his hands on his knees, trying to get his breathing under control. Standing up and walking a bit farther, he checked his watch to check his heart rate as someone smacked into him. “Oh fuck.” He stumbled back a couple of steps. He glanced down at the girl now on the floor, and extended his hand. “Here, I am so sorry.” 

Think of the last film you watched. Who was your favorite character in it?

“I recently just watched ‘Always be my Maybe’ and I guess I really resonated with Randall Park who played Marcus. He seemed to be stuck, and that’s kinda where I’m at right now.”

What are you known for?

Already Answered, you can find it here.

What are you known for?

“Being the older brother of one of the victims.”

What do you think in general of girls with short hair? How about guys with long hair?

Elijah laughed. “Cool. They have every right to do whatever they want.”

For something they secretly wish didn’t exist

“These so called drownings.” He paused. “But then again, I guess it’s not a secret that I wished they didn’t exist.” 

2. Describe your favorite type of weather. 

Already Answered, you can find that here.

3. Name a subject/topic you know a lot about.

“Films?”

5. What’s something most people love that you hate?

Already Answered, you can find that here.

For a ‘weird’ habit or tic that no one knows about

“Growing up, I would do this thing where I would grab the nearest piece of paper and rip it up into the smallest pieces possible. I still do it, but I try to hide it underneath my desk at work. It’s actually calming for me.”

2. Describe your favorite type of weather.

“I love the nice cool breeze on a warm sunny day. Like maybe March or April. Not too hot, but warm enough to not freeze your fingers.” 

5. What’s something most people love that you hate?

“Star Wars.” 

11. What is your favorite Studio Ghibli film and why?

“Oh. This is a good one. Howl’s Moving Castle. There’s a fire demon. How could one not enjoy that?”

14. What’s the nicest compliment you’ve ever been given?

“Probably from one of my students.” He paused. “They said, I didn’t look like a child. Which was nice.” Elijah scratched the back of his neck. “I don’t really get a ton of compliments.”

34. Do you think forgiveness is mandatory to move on from something?

“It’s hard to say. I think in some instances that it is mandatory, but also, I believe people can move on with their lives without forgiveness. I think it depends on the person. Me, personally, I think it is mandatory. But, people can forgive and never forget.”
