Though that didn't stop him from working towards scholarships that were earned through his work on the team, and what he couldn't achieve through sports his father supported with his wallet. As long as he kept his grade's up he was home free, a life that was pretty breezy.
It all seemed breezy from the outside, little did his father or team know that he had a lot of personal troubles. For one his grades weren't never that good, he always struggled in …show more content…
classes even when he paid attention. He never even learned how to properly study so most of his grades were out of pure luck, or a quick google search at this point. Though that didn't point out his other problem, his attraction towards males. Now that isn't saying he never really found girls all that attractive, but if he was going to be honest he found guys more of his taste.
That was only a problem because of his teammate's strong homophobia, their comments often making him uncomfortable and rubbing him in the wrong way. He did his best not to laugh along and just ignore them when they got like that.
Today wasn't too much different, he was laughing with his friends. They had decided to head down to the cafe to get a little something and settle down a little for the weekend. When they entered one of the guys hit Cronus's arm.
"Shit, is that Vantas out there?" He went laughing a bit.
Cronus had swerved his attention towards Kankri. His attention drawn to him, a little jealous of his determination with his school work. He never really knew Kankri that well but he shared a class or two with him, he always made pretty high grades. It made Cronus admire him, not to mention have a small crush on him.
"Isn't he gay or something?" The guy we'll name Paul piped in, before pausing in thought as everyone looked. As if they looked long enough they would be able to tell. " I just had the greatest idea, Cronus you should totally ask him out.."
"W-what?" Cronus jerked his head away from Kankri to look at the guy rather confused. Really he hadn't been paying attention too strongly to his friend.
"You know nothing real, just I heard he was gay. I bet he'd probably cream himself just by you talking to him. Come on it's all in good fun. You go on a date with him, and ditch him. It'd be fucking hilarious. Come on, you know you're game." He stated nudging him towards the door, making Cronus stumble a little. A nauseous wave crashing down, but he fought it back when he looked back at his few friends who were giving him a thumbs
up.
Fuck he was actually going to have to do this. So with his own determination he walked straight over towards Kankri, placing his hand onto the table so he could loom over him slightly.
"Hey there, I've been meaning to talk to you a while now, and I don't know if you know me, but I've been in a few of your classes and couldn't help but noticed how cute you are. So what do you say, want to go on a date? Doesn't have to be big, it could be a movie or a dinner date. Something casual."
