Randomness.
Gregory came back to the daycare after being Banned, then came up to Sun, when he was busy drawing...Something? On a big piece of paper, that has letters on them, but it's too flat for him to read it. He walks up behind him, and say's. "Hey Sun!" "Go away!" Sun answered back, not looking back on him, still scribbling on the paper.
Rough handling the paper, free hand. Applying so much pressure onto the crayon, with a wide motion, and scribbling onto it so quickly.
Breaking down the wax on the crayon little by little. Gregory signed, and asked "What are you doing?" "What does it look like to you? I'm drawing!" Sun answered back, turning his head to face Gregory, then turned it back. "What are you drawing?" Gregory asked, getting curious with his work. "Uh, uh! It's not finished yet!" Sun insisted.
Then turned back to him, standing up a little. "What do you want?" He asked, getting up on his feet and correcting his posture. "I came back to talk to you!" Gregory replied, reasonably.
"You want to ask for my forgiveness, is that it?" He wondered, folding his arms, sounding pouty. "Well...Yeah!" Gregory agreed, nodding.
"Well...I'm not ready yet!" Sun answered him, shamelessly. "Oh, okay." He paused, then took a small inhale, and asked. "...How old are you?" He asked, after pausing.
Sun took a deep long sigh. his patience wearing being tampered with, with this kid. He checked himself, before saying..."Guess..." under his breath.
Gregory stood with a thinking manner, then looked his eyes up in the process, "I don't know...I'm thinking...10?". He guessed. Giving a small shrug. Sun chuckled quietly.
"Wanna try that again?" He asked, slowly calming down, grinning. Gregory stared at him with a puzzled look, as he spoke "What? Why? You look young!" Gregory answered. Brushing off this awkward statement, with a playful attitude. Smiling.
Sun, is getting onto it too, then he asked Gregory, creating a guessing game. "Do you really know how old I am?" He started this off, with a small tease. Then, at this point, his question captured Gregory's attention. "Oh? Nooo. Are you having me on? You really been here longer?"
Gregory say's, now getting more invested with this guessing game. Now curious, with a small touch of dis belief. "Not for years, here. But, I have a long background." Sun hinted. Now Gregory, is hooked, and he takes it seriously..."No way-"He started, so he begins to guess. "20?" Sun shook his head. "25?" "Higher." Sun say's, "30?"
"Higher."
"35?"
"Higher."
"45...?" Gregory say's, widening his eyes. Guessing the years.
"Higher."
"F...fffFifty?" Gregory say's getting shocked with the numbers rising.
"That's it!" Sun stopped him there, before Gregory get's too over whelmed, with the answer. "50?" Gregory asked again, with his mouth open. "Yep!" Sun replied. "Woah!...Hang on. What year is this now?" He asked, this question mostly to himself, but wanted to ask Sun to remind him.
"2019."
"2019? 1970-to 2019...That was around...1970...1980, 1990...That was 2 decades, so that was 20 years. Then 2000, that's 30. 2010 is 40...Then this is 2019 now...So that marks the year by...Woah, yeah marks it exactly today!
Then next year that number will mark it by 51! Huh. That's correct! Ah, well that's not so bad!" He say's putting on a wide proud grin. At Sun.
"Impressive mental mathematics kid!" Sun praised.
"Why thank you! And hey, for you. You aged well!" Gregory complemented, polietly giving him a smile. Sun actually took a moment, to appreciate his comment.
And felt flattered, with it. Then responded by putting his hand, on Gregory's head. Then said. "I've never heard a kid tell me something so nice before. I really have had a really good time!"
Then Gregory held his hand, then said. "You're welcome, Sun!" Then, without warning, Sun instantly, picked the kid up, and held him in a tight squeeze, without Gregory noticing.
"Oh come here you, friend-!" He exclaimed. "Ah, oh g-geez Sun!" Gregory called out, getting smothered with his light warming hugs. At first, he felt bothered, but then he forget about it, and accepted it anyway. With thought, 'Well, never mind.'
