Author notes: This is a sort of exercise to work out the characterization for a longer piece I'm planning in this universe.
Summary: Drabble. High school AU. Leon and Illya banter, but there's an edge of melancholy: their time together won't last.

“I should have signed up for Honors U.S.,” said Leon Solo, pouting facetiously. His boyfriend, Illya, watched him across the lunch table.

“You're just embarrassed,” said Illya, “that an exchange student knows your country's history better than you do.”

“I'm just annoyed that there's another hour out of the day I don't get to spend with you.”

Illya smirked. “If we had more classes together, both our GPAs would suffer.”

Leon half-laughed. “At least we can study together. Honors or regular, we're still dealing with the same country.”

Illya thought of his already-bought plane ticket. The same country… for now.
