Bear-Ethan studied Sky's face critically, the edges of his lips dropping somewhat in what could be called a bear-frown as he noted how Sky looked like he wanted to laugh, but he didn't. He was grateful for that, but still a little put out, especially since he hadn't said anything yet. When the gym teacher began scratching his head, however, Ethan let out his breath in a soft sigh, eyelids drooping. Man, that felt good. He probably shouldn't be letting some guy scratch his head like a damn dog, but right now he was just happy that Sky hadn't done anything worse then that.
And then he had to open his mouth. Ethan shook his head to rid himself of Sky's hand and looked up, obviously unhappy at both the thought of being ridden (not in the good way) and being turned into some circus act that chased after little misbehaving kids. In response, he stood up on his hind legs to give Sky a good glare and, despite not quite being as tall as Sky was, it didn't take much effort for Ethan to reach out and flick his paw, effectively knocking the other teacher onto his back.
Ethan lumbered a few steps closer to Sky, turned around, and plopped his furry bear butt onto the joker's chest. Fine, if Sky wanted to crack jokes, he could crack jokes. He'd just better not expect Ethan to take them without reacting ALL the time. No messing with the bear in the room. Ethan turned his head to look down at his victim, laughter in his eyes as he leaned over to stick his nose in Sky's face, a "Who's laughing now" expression plastered all over him.

Sky blinked in surprise at Ehtan's "I AM UNHAPPY BEAR" face. Some people just didn't know how to take a joke, seriously... "Aw, c'mon, you'd run too if you were being chased by a bear," he protested. It really WAS a good idea...
Sky had to try very hard to stay serious faced when Ethan the bear stood up to his full, terrifying bear height and... still wasn't quite as tall as Sky.
It was REALLY difficult.
It wasn't too difficult to keep a straight face when he got knocked off his feet, though. Note to self, tiny bear size, big bear strength. And then he was sat on.
The laughter he'd been so (un)skillfully keeping inside absolutly erupted out. He laughed so hard that his eyes started tearing up as he laid there, squished under maybe a hundred pounds of small bear. It wasn't even THAT uncomfortable! "Why Ethan," he giggled out. "Not ten minutes and you're already back climbing on top of me!" More peals of laughter.

If bears could blush, Ethan's fur would have been scarlet. He'd been trying to prove a POINT. The point that Sky SHOULDN'T be making fun of him, but now, here he was, mentally blushing and beating himself up for doing something so stupid. Why DID he keep sitting on Sky, anyway? A small, snarky voice told him that it must be all that "animal magnetism." He swiftly crushed that voice with an angry paw and glared at the guy who was practically bawling from laughing so hard.
"I hate you." Ethan's eyes said. "I hate you so much right now you have no idea." But he really didn't. He really, really didn't. He was just so ANGRY that he'd been put in this position... even if it had been his own doing.
The bear sighed once he realized that he wouldn't do anything. He was currently in a body that could bend Sky over backwards a couple of times and then play with him as if he were a basketball, but he wouldn't. He didn't want to. Actually, what he really wanted to do was crawl away and sulk. Make Sky feel bad, if he had any pity in his heart at all.
So that's what Ethan did. He walked off of Sky (being very careful to make sure at least one paw landed on the other teacher's FACE), moved over to climb into the chair he'd vacated not long ago, rested his head on the armrest and sulked, pointedly looking away from Sky. He was a cute and fuzzy bear. Do not make fun of the cute and fuzzy bear.
Yeah, that's right. Ethan could be shameless, too.

It was pretty obvious that Ethan was trying to be as sulky as possible to make Sky feel bad about himself. However, his actions had the exact opposite reaction as Ethan has intended. Sky continued to be doubled over in laughter. He couldn't breathe for all the laughter. His eyes were starting to water a bit. His lungs hurt. But all he could do was laugh, because there was nothing more adorable and funny in the world, righ that second, than a midget bear sulking in an armchair.
"Aww, it's okay," he choked out between explosions of laughter. "I'm an open-minded guy! Heehee! I don't buy into that hahaha body image crap! Heheheee! I love bears! Bwahhhaaahahahahahaaa." He gasped for breath and failed. He wasn't entirely sure why the situation was as funny as it was, but something about the site of Ethan the tiny bear sulking in an arm chair was the most hilarious and fucking cute thing he'd ever seen in his life.

Alright. Fine. FINE. If displays of strength as well as acting immature wasn't going to work, Ethan was left with only one solution. He was going to have to tell Sky off. Very maturely, of course. The entire act of being able to form words and sentences in and of itself was a mature endeavor and much more like him then all this pushing around and sulking. Why hadn't he thought of it before?
Once the idea entered his mind, Ethan took on a determined look and got out of his chair. He stood up and fixed a frown on his face as he crossed his arms and started talking. "You know, I'm not usually the kinda guy to get angry, but I don't appreciate-" The thing is, Ethan failed to remember that he had been a bear sulking in that chair not five seconds ago. And now, here he was, a human again, standing in front of Sky. Not a bear. "-I would have expected someone like you to show better judgment, especially when your morph-" He hadn't stopped in the closet before shifting from bear to human. He hadn't even thought twice about it. And if he had actually stopped to think about it, he might have noticed that it was a bit more breezy then he'd remembered from when he'd been human before. "-So I'd kindly appreciate it if you'd... If... you'd..."
Ethan trailed off in his rant. He stared at Sky. And then he closed his eyes. This was not happening. But when he opened his eyes, everything was the same. He still hadn't gone to the closet before shifting back into a human. Sky was still in front of him and he was still standing there, strait back, arms crossed over his chest.
Fuck.
The math teacher's fair skin was suddenly no longer quite so fair. And even after he'd shifted back to a bear, walked in a daze to the closet, shifted back, started putting on his clothes, and then emerged with pants and a shirt he couldn't button because he hands had been shaking too badly, he still more closely resembled a tomato then his usual self. His sweater was in one hand, but he didn't want to put it on over an unbuttoned shirt because he figured that it would be uncomfortable and he couldn't seem to comprehend the idea of putting on the sweater without the shirt in his dazed, hyper-embarrassed state.
The only words he said were mumbled and even then they barely counted as one sentence. "I think I've embarrassed myself enough for one day." He should go.

Sky had kind of been expecting Ethan to get huffy. He wasn't very happy when people made fun of the fact he was a giant fish. He had not, however, been expecting what he got. He literally stopped mid-giggle and just stared.
And stared.
And stared.
And stared some more as his face began slowly turning more and more red.
He just sat there gaping off into space as Ethan shifted back into a bear, went to the closet, and came out fully clothed. Ethan was saying something, but Sky was just dazed and confused. For one of the only times in his life, he'd been struck speechless and just sort of sat there... red and staring.

No response. Ethan didn't want to look at him, but he couldn't do anything but look at him. Sky seemed as dazed as he was, if not more. This was a bit confusing to Ethan. After all, he was the one who had exposed and embarrassed himself, but here was SKY who was almost as red as he was and...
Had he... Sky was staring at... and he was speechless? Ethan's blush renewed and deepened itself as he stumbled over to the table, the chair, his backpack, gathering up all of his possessions from the room. He tried not to think about it. It wasn't a good idea to think about it. Remember what he had told himself and, besides, no matter what even talking to Sky after this would be a bad idea. Too embarrassing. He didn't have to, he wouldn't do it! Gym teacher, math teacher, they'd never see each other anything. He didn't have to. Think. Couldn't. Wouldn't. Shouldn't.
Ethan stumbled out of the room and back to his own private quarters where he could reflect on all that could happen and try to banish it all from his mind. He stayed there, sitting on the bed for a good long while. He stayed until he recovered enough dexterity in his hands to button his shirt and then he set about drowning out his thoughts by grading papers.
