#neither of them admit it until Daniel has passed his foundation year and Daniel is no longer Max’s student

[33max]

How about one where Max going to college way younger than his peers and becoming a TA to Daniel, who went to college late after working for a bit? :)

thank you for this and… here is some word vom!!! I’m sorry in advance!!!

prompts to save me from hurricane ian boredom

Daniel is 27 years old when he makes the decision to go to college. His parents are shocked, and equally delighted when he tells them - he knows that for a long time they worried about him, wondering if he would ever get his shit together and hold down a stable job. His mum spent hours laying awake at night wondering where Daniel was, if he was okay, if he’d made it home to his little shared flat in the city. Daniel still feels a lot of guilt about it, and more than anything he wants to prove to his family that he can do more than his shitty job at the local fuel station.

His mum had always promised that as long as he’s happy, she’s happy. That it doesn’t matter what Daniel does, or doesn’t do. She promises him that she is already proud of who he is, but as soon as he sees her face light up when he tells her he’s going to college he is filled with a determination to see this through. He’s never stuck with anything in his life, not even hobbies, but he’s going to stick with this.

He applies to study Physiotherapy, and because he’s been out of the education system for a while he has to complete a foundation year, or an extra year, to help him adapt to an academic environment.

The first few weeks are hard. He goes to his lectures in the morning, he has a seminar with his TA, Max, in the afternoon, he then works the late shift at the fuel station. He studies while he’s eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s exhausting, he never has any free time anymore, but the messages he receives from his parents help him power through.

Mum: We hope your lecture goes well this morning! Dad is making BBQ for dinner if you want to pop in after your shift, we don’t care how late you finish 🍖 Love Mum ♥️

Dad: Sent you $20, make sure you get a good lunch before your seminar this afternoon. Proud of you.

Sometime during his third week, his TA asks him to stay behind after the seminar for a catch up.

“So, how are you finding everything?” Max asks, leaning casually against the side of the desk. He never sits at it, only on it. His thighs look even thicker where they meet top of the desk. Daniel can’t and won’t think about that.

Max is young. Younger than Daniel. Younger than most of the students taking this foundation course. He’s got soft blue eyes that crinkle around the edges when Daniel makes silly jokes in the seminar, and a wide set mouth that sometimes makes Daniel lose his train of thought.

“Uh, yeah it’s going okay I guess,” Daniel shrugs, noncommittal, before asking “Am I… doing okay in class?”

“You’re doing fine, mate,” Max reassures him, “Your input during the seminars is great.”

That’s relieving to hear, Daniel has been worried that he’s not keeping up, that he’s already falling behind his peers.

“You’ve not been to my office hours…” Max says, head tilted to the side slightly, questioning.

“Oh,” Daniel says awkwardly, “It’s not that I don’t want to, or that I don’t think that would be really helpful or anything… I just… can’t.”

It’s true. He can’t. Max’s office hours are 4pm-6pm every day, and Daniel starts work at 4:30pm.

“Oh?” Max asks, head tilting the other way now. Daniel tries to hold the eye contact that Max is making with him, but everything about Max is a little intense and Daniel feels transparent, like he’s not got anything interesting inside for Max to see.

“I have work…” Daniel explains, putting his hands in his pockets so Max can’t see him anxiously picking at the skin around his fingernails.

“Oh mate, you should have said!” Max says, before pulling his phone out and bringing up his calendar, “I’m happy to make accommodations, let’s work something out.”

#they meet at a coffee shop every Saturday afternoon #max keeps Dan motivated when he’s struggling with the course #max stays up late to help whenever Daniel is panicking about an exam #and of course they fall in love #it’s very tender and sweet #neither of them admit it until Daniel has passed his foundation year and Daniel is no longer Max’s student #writing #answered #anonymous

Fox news Panthers, Bucs ignite unpredictable QB carousel - NFL.com

Fox news

INDIANAPOLIS -- Jameis Winston is no longer the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' No. 1 option at quarterback for 2020. Cam Newton is terribly likely essentially the most easy option for the Carolina Panthers, and head coach Matt Rhule knows it.

These were two of the enormous takeaways from a frantic Tuesday of press conferences at the NFL Scouting Combine, which equipped essentially the most easy indication but about how the quarterback carousel will dash in the impending weeks. NFL organizations don't demonstrate all their playing cards in public, nonetheless it be pretty obvious which groups were searching ahead to continuity and which groups were originate for picks.

The Panthers files was once the greatest surprise. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday ahead of Rhule spoke that the Panthers were intent on transferring ahead with Newton as their starter. Effectively being and timing would possibly additionally very well be two big elements why, besides to to Newton's high-shelf talent. Rapoport reported it will additionally very well be months until Newton's foot is sport-ready, which would complicate or stall any alternate market for him. After taking note of Rhule keep in touch, nonetheless, it was once obvious that he evaluated Newton's prior play and was once "unbelievably inflamed" to peep him in his offense.

"I fully want Cam right here. There is without a doubt about that," Rhule acknowledged Tuesday.

These are without issues the strongest comments all offseason from the Panthers group about Newton's sad future. Even though right here's a rebuilding Twelve months for the crew, the mix of Newton's well being, contract, talent and the likely lack of alternate alternate choices makes this a easy resolution. Rhule would possibly maybe nonetheless draft a quarterback to manufacture alongside Newton, then assessment what he desires to accept as true with after 2020. There is itsy-bitsy or no likelihood the Panthers would possibly maybe fetch a extra productive quarterback in free agency or a extra proficient quarterback in the draft.

A month prior to now, the Panthers appeared extra at chance of fetch a quarterback swap than their division opponents in Tampa. After Tuesday, that is clearly no longer the case.

"As a head coach it be a must to come to a resolution 'Is there the next option?' " Bucs coach Bruce Arians acknowledged Tuesday about Winston. "I truly do no longer know who's accessible. [GM Jason] Licht can talk to agents now, so we will fetch out with any luck in 36 or 48 hours."

This quote well encapsulates this DGAF piece of Arians' profession. No longer simplest is he overtly admitting that tampering is on the menu in Indianapolis alongside pricey steaks and minute cocktails, he's additionally entirely happy to point out you which of them quarterbacks he'd rob over his quarterback. Arians was once asked who he'd fetch up the cell phone for.

"Tom Brady. Philip (Rivers) is but any other guy. We'll peep," Arians acknowledged.

It be nonetheless probably that Winston finally ends up back in Tampa with the transition tag and even a two-Twelve months contract, nonetheless Jameis sounds fancy a fallback belief. Arians called Winston an "unknown amount" after 5 years in the league and bemoaned his sloppy December. It be worth wondering if this chatter motivates Winston to hunch in numerous locations, it is no longer forever really indispensable what the Bucs' passion level is.

If Jameis does pass on, one probably touchdown declare would possibly additionally very well be Las Vegas. Raiders fashioned manager Mike Mayock did an even searching job extolling Derek Carr's virtues Tuesday by announcing he ran Jon Gruden's offense "at a high level," while additionally noting they are originate to upgrading each and each set including quarterback. The Chiefs are no longer originate to upgrading quarterback. Neither are the Texans, Cowboys and even Payments. Mayock and Gruden -- who noticeably didn't keep in touch Tuesday -- were far extra definitive about Carr's function as their franchise quarterback a Twelve months prior to now in Indianapolis. I couldn't assist nonetheless peek Mayock declare that pocket presence is one in every of the greatest traits he looks for in a quarterback, and he's undecided if that is a skill you might maybe be taught. That is no longer one in every of Carr's defining traits.

The Titans, fancy the Raiders, are searching at this quarterback market closely without making too stable a dedication to their incumbent starter. Titans GM Jon Robinson acknowledged "we will peep the design in which it goes" with free agent Ryan Tannehill, while coach Mike Vrabel was once entirely happy to keep in touch about his weak buddy Tom Brady. This is in a position to maybe all be posturing for negotiations with Tannehill, nonetheless Vrabel doesn't seem fancy a guy who feels its principal to posture. He was once entirely happy to praise and fetch jokes about his relationship with Brady without ruling out pursuing him. It really does seem that half of a dozen NFL groups are horny in a high-stakes sport of rooster, ready to peep who moves first.

The Broncos, nonetheless, are sitting this one out. Govt John Elway acknowledged he would were occupied with free agents fancy Brady and Rivers in old years, nonetheless 2020 is various thanks to Drew Lock.

"We fetch he can accept as true with it for a prolonged time. Drew is our belief," Elway acknowledged.

Mitchell Trubisky stays the belief in Chicago, too. Given two months to mosey back statements about Trubisky as Chicago's Week 1 starter, GM Ryan Perambulate doubled down on the thought. Coach Matt Nagy intimated there would possibly additionally very well be opponents at the set with a high quality backup, nonetheless Perambulate clearly isn't forever really ready to accept the possibility that his alternate up for Trubisky would possibly maybe elaborate this technology of Bears football.

In fairness to Perambulate, Nagy and each person else who spoke Tuesday, resolution makers are set in a tense declare in Naptown. They don't even know the foundations they'll be running below with the collective bargaining agreement striking in the balance, and so they're factual weeks far off from enacting their offseason visions. They want to fetch files in March, no longer at the podium in February. That's the reason so many coaches and resolution makers maybe envy Invoice Belichick's method to the media at the combine. He doesn't keep in touch in any appreciate.

With all that quarterback enjoyable out of the technique, right here were my other takeaways from Tuesday's press conferences.

1) Franchise tag season is upon us. Elway confirmed that safety Justin Simmons will fetch the tag if the Broncos can't come to a prolonged-duration of time agreement. Bengals coach Zac Taylor acknowledged he was once "very confident" that A.J. Green would possibly maybe be on the crew, which implies that Green is at chance of fetch tagged, too. Chiefs GM Brett Veach made it certain defensive lineman Chris Jones isn't forever really going wherever, so he's at chance of fetch tagged. Pass rusher Matthew Judon will hang to defend set in Baltimore with GM Eric DeCosta optimistic they are going to stamp him to a prolonged-duration of time deal. At worst, Judon is at chance of be tagged. At last, Chargers GM Tom Telesco mentioned the tag as an option for tight terminate Hunter Henry, which is continually a stamp that is exactly how this would hunch down.

2) Taylor received giant files when LSU quarterback Joe Burrow made it certain he's no longer going to tug a vitality play if selected No. 1 total by the Bengals.

"Yeah, I'm no longer gonna no longer play," Burrow acknowledged with the nonchalance of a 23-Twelve months-weak who knows he's extremely factual at what he does and is ready to be rewarded handsomely for it.

3) Jets fashioned manager Joe Douglas did his simplest to tamp down any alternate speculation about safety Jamal Adams, expressing some self assurance they'll fetch Adams a "Jet for lifestyles."

4) Three of football's simplest left tackles can be back subsequent season, ending speculation about retirement. Niners fashioned manager John Lynch acknowledged Joe Staley can be back. The Rams indicated they are terminate to a deal to bring Andrew Whitworth back, and Colts GM Chris Ballard acknowledged that Anthony Castonzo indicated he'll play in 2020. In Castonzo's case, the Colts nonetheless must determine a contract for what would possibly maybe be one in every of the tip tackles on the market.

5) When I asked Giants fashioned manager Dave Gettleman if he expected left take care of Nate Solder to be on his roster subsequent Twelve months, he equipped the verbal equivalent of "humina humina." That is one to peek. Within the meantime, Giants coach Joe Snatch refused to individually title a single participant on his roster so to permit them to know they all hang a orderly slate with him. Even Daniel Jones. Snatch then spent most of his time with the media explaining this protection.

6) Being attentive to Rams fashioned manager Les Snead, it sounded fancy linebacker Cory Littleton is L.A.'s greatest free-agent precedence. Defensive lineman Michael Brockers would possibly additionally very well be the bizarre man out in free agency and edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. can be viewed as less integral to defend than Littleton.

7) Jaguars fashioned manager Dave Caldwell's comments on Gardner Minshew were valuable. Whereas Caldwell made a pair of cursory certain statements about Prick Foles, Caldwell acknowledged Minshew was once the form of quarterback Jacksonville would possibly maybe "fetch round." Caldwell well-known that Minshew's stats were better than those of any other rookie (fancy Kyler Murray or Daniel Jones, even supposing this rob is up for debate) and that the Jags want a quarterback who can fetch plays off-script. That is no longer Foles' strength. I produce no longer blame the Jaguars for being desirous about Minshew, nonetheless Foles' contract is outwardly unmovable. That makes Caldwell's lifestyles sophisticated in the impending weeks.

8) Caldwell didn't guarantee that Walter Payton Man of the Twelve months Calais Campbell would possibly maybe be back with the crew, indicating that it would possibly probably maybe depend upon how but any other moves play out this offseason.

9) After a pair of years of collecting as noteworthy vitality as probably in Houston, Texans coach/GM Invoice O'Brien is delegating one responsibility: Offensive coordinator Tim Kelly will call plays subsequent season.

10) Falcons fashioned manager Thomas Dimitroff introduced that tight terminate Austin Hooper and linebacker De'Vondre Campbell will hit free agency without unique contracts from the crew, likely that technique they are headed in numerous locations. Hooper is decided to strike it rich, especially if Hunter Henry is kept off the market.

11) After a pair of years of leaping by salary cap hoops to defend his crew together, Eagles fashioned manager Howie Roseman has extra flexibility this offseason. I stumbled on it piquant that he acknowledged he views this season because the originate of a three-Twelve months building direction of in phrases of their roster. Most GMs are alarmed about this Twelve months, whereas Roseman shows the work in phrases of prolonged-range planning. He acknowledged he's no longer taking a peek to supply protection to compensatory picks; he's taking a peek so to add talent. (In other words: Leer big headlines out of Philly this offseason.)

That is it for Tuesday. Tune back on Wednesday to peep which unique quarterbacks are nonetheless buying for esteem.
