(yeah omg were gonna be on the bus so long)
Quentin laughed, eyes scrunching up at the corners. His chest felt like it was swelling with just..brightness. It was nice, he hadn't really felt this way in a while. "Good to know. I may be buff but I have no idea how to throw a punch," he admitted, his smile almost shy. He felt heat rush to his ears, blush returning to his cheeks. "I don't think we'll have any trouble though. Hey -- have you ever been out past curfew?"

"Nah. I'm a complete hermit, I'm usually in doors and safely locked in my room by nine most nights." He admitted with a laugh, shaking his head as he switched his gaze from the darkness outside to Quen, relaxing as he saw how happy the other boy seemed to be. He leaned back in the car seat, stretching out for a moment, wondering how long the car ride would be, unfamiliar with where they were going exactly. He studied his hands for a moment, feeling nervous at the prospect of this adventure, but a good kind of nervous. The kind that snapped his head out of the fatigue it had been stuck in this entire summer, one that made him feel alive. (That'll be so much fun bus rides are the best)

The drive would only be a few minutes, probably seven tops. "I'm out sometimes. Our mom usually gets home super late and doesn't really care where we are. As long as we're safe. So me and Edil go out a lot especially like Friday nights and like..explore and stuff." Quentin talked as he drove, glancing over at Simon every once in a while. "It's pretty fun? Before I could drive we used to walk around our neighborhood past dark and like talk -- well. Sign. You get the idea."

"That sounds pretty neat. You must know the town well then, if you did that." He commented, trying to imagine if he spent that much time with Aaron. They'd probably kill each other- literally. He couldn't stand even being in the presence of his hot-shot older brother, let alone actually try to spend time with him. When they where younger he tried, up until he hit the sixth grade he would follow his brother around, trying to be athletic like him. That didn't pan out well, considering he didn't have an athletic bone in his body. Soon Simon decided to focus more on his music, and Aaron began to tease him for it, but Simon stuck with what made him happy instead of what made his brother happy. That was when the two of them began to have problems, and Simon stopped using his last name when introducing himself to others, taking on advanced courses and music classes, to distance himself from Aaron just a little bit more. "You two are close, aren't you?" He added, trying to not feel the smallest twinge of jealousy at that. Everyone deserved to have a close sibling, and no doubt those two had their own fights as well. Just remember you have Rachel. He told himself, smiling at the thought of his little half-sister who lived with their dad, who was practically attached to him at the hip. He couldn't wait to see her when he visited Georgia next, maybe he could teach her some more on the violin.

"Yeah. He doesn't have a ton of friends since he's home schooled. Plus not many people use sign language so there's me, our mom, then his friends Enzo and Oliver. We're really the only people he socializes with. When we were younger we fought a lot more," Quentin said, giving a sort of shrug. Their family was definitely more on the abnormal side. Besides the obvious reason Edil didn't have many friends there was more to it, with the way he dressed and such. Being a boy who liked to dress femininely and liked other boys..it was definitely hard to get out and make friends. "But yeah we definitely spend a lot of time out and about."

"Thats still awesome, besides his whole not socializing, unless he's happy that way, then good for him. " He conceded, shivering for a moment as he tried to imagine what it would be like to have a relationship like that with his brother, then decided not everyone would do well with a good sibling relationship. He let out a small sigh, realizing that his brother might be out at the lake if their Mother wasn't home, most likely hanging out with his crew before bringing the party back to their house. Tonight was not something he was looking forward to, and part of him wished he could just avoid his house all together. He blinked when the car halted, not realizing enough time had passed for them to get to the spot. Simon slipped out of the car, breathing in the humid summer air, listening to the faint buzz of cicadas before turning to Quen. "Lead the way," He said simply, a small smile on his face as he pushed any negative thoughts away.

(disappeared because i had to go finish my preorder for nintendo switch lol i pick it up tonight)
Quentin grinned back at Simon after locking his car, pausing as he briefly thought about holding the other teen's hand. He decided against it, biting his tongue as nerves filled his stomach. That date feeling came back as he started to lead the way into the woods. He knew for a fact that there was a make out spot in the woods, even thinking about it brought a heavy blush to his cheeks. Around the path the woods were impossibly dark and even though he wasn't a stranger to these parts it still kinda spooked him. "Which way?" Quentin asked, turning his head to Simon once they reached a split path.

"Uh. Hm. Let's go left I guess," immediately after saying that Quentin almost had to hide his face in his hands. His subconscious was totally trying to set him and Simon up -- he hadn't thought twice about the path and was definitely taking them down the route where he knew the coveted "make out" spot was. As long as Simon didn't know the implications of the area he wouldn't have to embarrass himself by taking them by it. But it was too late to change anything so he kept walking with Simon, breathing in the cool night air.

(Im laughing omg also I might disappear because I have to go to an astronomy lab tonight ) Sounds good to me. 'Simon said, peering curiously at the path ahead of them. Already the forest seemed... private. No, don't think like that, Simon. Quen is just a nice boy your hanging out with. There are no other implications. It doesn't matter how attractive he is... or how smooth his voice sounds... or the kiss. It doesn't matter, Simon. You two are just friends/ He told himself, trying his best to not let his mind wander much as they walked side by side, eyes switching from the road to Quen the entire way, part of him hoping his thoughts where true, but telling himself they weren't. There wasn't any point on getting his hopes up.

Quentin shoved his hands in his pockets to keep himself from trying to hold Simon's hand. "You're okay to walk right? It doesn't hurt too bad does it?" It was a bit of an afterthought and he felt like he should've asked way earlier but..he was asking now at least. He didn't want to have Simon strain himself unnecessarily. They also were approaching that spot, the spot all the teens at school talked about. A blush was starting to spread over his face as he thought about it.

Simon let Quen take the lead, blinking in surprise when he was asked about his leg. The light faded from his eyes momentarily, throat tightening in more of fear than anticipation when he thought about his leg. Honestly, his body was pumped up with so much adrenaline that the pain had faded completely for a while, but now that he was thinking about it... a dull pain was becoming slightly sharper from his leg. Simon could already tell he'd be hurting in the morning, but, honestly, he didn't care much about that. Now Simon is a very different person than Tomorrow Simon. Right now he was just going to enjoy this night-time adventure with a cute boy, and he'd deal with whatever the consequences will be in the morning. "Yeah, I'm okay, although if there's a place to stop up ahead that would be nice." He conceded grudgingly, frowning when he saw the slightest hint of blush tingeing Quens face.

Quentin hadn't meant to lower the mood -- but concern had gotten the better of him. So he tried to pick it back up, "hey all else fails I'll just carry you the rest of the time," he tried, a slight nervous chuckle falling from his lips. Everything about the atmosphere was winding him up, putting butterflies in his chest. The soft moonlight, the sounds of crickets. He could just kiss Simon again.. But he couldn't. He didn't want to overstep. After all, Simon had pulled away the first time. Maybe he regretted it.

"Oh really?" He asked wryly, stepping infront of Quen, walking backwards so he could get a better look at the boy as they continued on. He stumbled for a moment on a root before correcting himself, giving Quen an almost sheepish grin. "You know, it's pretty private out here, " he added after a few moments of reorienting himself, continuing to walk backwards, perhaps a tad closer to him. "I mean, um, to talk about things," he added, his own cheeks flushed red in embarrassment as he realized what he had just said. Not that he didn't want to kiss Quen- he did, he just didn't want to push the boy too far. He was already acting a bit strange, and he was scared that it was because Quen didn't actually like him the way Simon did. Or did he come on too strong? He didn't know, and it was beginning to worry him, the small pit that had started as disappointment was now turning into something bigger mixed with a bit of fear.

"Definitely, like I said, I'm buff. I could totally carry you," Quentin replied, grinning at Simon as they walked facing each other. After Simon made his comment Quentin flushed bright red, biting back a small grin at the implications. Though he didn't want to get his hopes up -- he'd heard about high school boys just looking to try something new and hitting on a gay kid. Of course he was nervous.
"Yeah -- uh to talk," Quentin stuttered out, "it's a really nice night to be out. Away from all the bustle." He babbled on, thoughts of kissing Simon again had gotten him fully flustered again.

Simon arched an eyebrow at how flustered Quen became flustered. This kid... did he catch what I was saying? Was that a good thing? or a bad thing? He wondered, honestly a tad nervously. He had made that mistake before- accidentally hitting on someone who was straight, or one of the straight guys had hit on him. He shivered for a moment, the breeze making the air slightly cold. "Unless... you know, you don't want to talk." He added quickly, his own cheeks turning a bright red. Alright. If nothing else happens tonight, I'll forget that the kiss ever happened. I probably just made a huge mistake, kissing. He told himself firmly, his shoulders hunched over a little as he made sure their feet didn't collide as he walked infront of Quen.

"Talking is nice. I mean I love signing too but we don't always get to talk a ton at home it's usually signing," Quentin blabbered on a bit, hands curling into fists in his pockets. The moonlight falling through the tree leaves let a gorgeous light settle over the path and surrounding foliage. Looking up he was met with leafy branches and bright stars in the infinite blackness of the sky above. When he looked back down his pulse increased -- the lighting, the atmosphere, the general feeling, everything just made Simon look so beautiful right in front of him. They had made it to a clearing, less branches above them let the moonlight filter in. It felt like everything was glowing Quentin paused his walking briefly.

"I gathered that much," Simon commented, chuckling a little as Quen blabbered on, finding it... cute, how nervous he seemed. Simon frowned for a moment when Quen paused, tipping his head to one side, something he did when he was confused. "Whats up?" He asked, turning around to see the clearing before them. It was a plain clearing, yes, but beautiful in its own way. The moonlight filtered through the clouds, hitting the branches in just the right angle, giving everything an almost ethereal glow. He felt himself catch his breath, his first thought being this is the type of stuff composers write into their music, imagining how someone might write this into music, and being able to hear it clearly in his head. The dark haired boy took a step forward, forgetting all about Quen for a moment, walking over to a fallen tree log and sitting there, just looking around, looking up to see that the clouds where still far away, the threat of rain not going to be present for another hour, at least, and a small smile played on his lips. What a romantic spot. He thought, mind back on the curly haired boy that he came here with. His eyes shifted from the nature around him to Quen, feeling a small bit of hope that he felt the same way, noticing how well the atmosphere complimented the boy. The glow from the moon was cast on him, reminding Simon of some sort of Angel, and he felt his heart jump to his throat, his cheeks turning red at the thought, but didn't look away this time. "This clearing is gorgeous," and so are you, He managed not to say the last part out loud, voice tinged with nerves. (Happy saturday)

(hey!! i slept in so late omg i saw hamilton last night and got home late)
Quentin was quite for a moment, following Simon over. "Yeah I uh -- it really is," he stumbled over his words, moving to sit next to Simon. His knee bumped the other teen's leg and he swallowed thickly. Bouncing his leg he pulled his hands from his pockets, setting them on his knees for a brief moment before he turned how he sat, facing Simon more. The light falling over the other teen's face had his heart pounding. He bit his lip slightly as he looked at the other kid.

(AHGHDJSF LDKj How is it? I want to see it SOOO bad)
Simons heart stopped when their knees bumped, and he had to keep his hands in his sweaters pocket, squeezing them tight, to prevent them from reaching out and grabbing on of the boys hands, wanting nothing more than to regain that feeling he had while holding them before hand.Simon kept his knee pressed against Quens, hoping that it was alright for him to do so. He studied Quens face in the moonlight, how he bit his lip slightly while looking at Simon, how his body shook every time his leg bounced, everything. He took in a sharp breath, letting out an embarrassed cough as his thoughts digressed, shaking them away, deciding Quen just might be unsure of where they stood. Should I clear it up? I don't even know how to bring something like a kiss up. What do I say? So about the kiss, sorry about that? I just followed my emotions? No that sounds stupid. He thought, his own foot tapping the ground nervously, unsure what else to say, then decided to stop being a chicken and bring it up. He didn't want to leave the night with uncertainty, so he figured out what he would do. He would apologize for overstepping, for kissing him, and he would gauge Quins reaction. "So- ah, about earlier," He began, stuttering a little, cheeks flushed.

(it was amazing!!!)
"Yeah I -- uh --" Quentin briefly furrowed his brows and bit at his cheek. He opened his mouth again, looking for something to say. Taking a shaky breath he simply moved his hands, placing one on either side of Simon's face, brushing a thumb lightly over his cheek. Panic built in his chest and in a quick movement he brought his face to Simon's pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

Simon let out a small noise when Quen put his hands on either side of his face, heart shooting up into his throat as Quen kissed him. It was a quick one, his soft lips barely brushing over Simons. The dark haired boy blinked when they broke off, before breaking into a rather crooked grin, grabbing Quen, one hand on the back of his neck, the other propping him up, and kissed him harder now that he was sure that he hadn't made a mistake, the pit disappearing from his stomach. (So lucky!!)

( yeah we got tickets almost a year ago it was wild also maybe this can get wild. what if simons brother had actually been out at the woods and found them o: )
Quentin's eyes shot open in surprise when Simon kissed him again before he let them shut again. Smiling against Simon's lips he couldn't hold back a quiet laugh. His fingers brushed over the other teen's cheeks, moving to run through his hair. When they broke apart again Quentin caught his breath, laughing softly and leaning his forehead against Simon's. "Oh man," he breathed out.

(That's what I was thinking omg I might do it in the next post, let him enjoy the moment XD) "Wow- I, I mean I thought," Simon stuttered, grinning from ear to ear when they broke apart, forehead resting on Quens. He tried not to let out a small murmur of pleasure when Quens hand ran through his hair, and he tried his best to behave, letting his hand fall from Quens neck, not sure what to say, not believe that what just happened was true. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that he would be in the woods, making out with Quen, or that the boy would actually like him back.

Quentin leaned a bit more into Simon, giving him a quick peck on the lips. After another breathy laugh he let his hands fall from the other's face, nervously moving to settle on Simon's hand. "I -- wow," was all he could manage, falling into a small fit of laughs. "You're..really cute," he mumbled, a heavy blush on his cheeks. "Like..really really." He couldn't keep the grin off of his face, his heart still pounding. Did this mean they..would be boyfriends? He wasn't even entirely sure how that all worked in situations like this.

Simons face turned a bright red at the comment, letting out a chuckle as their hands intertwined once again. He leaned in for one more kiss, taking his own time before breaking off, one last time, not moving quite yet. "And you are incredibly attractive," he murmured into Quens ear, loving how nervous he seemed. He wasn't sure what this all meant yet, none of his relationships really started this way, and it was filling him with excitement. He reached his right hand around Quens waist to pull him in closer, before he heard some twigs snap and he pulled home away quickly, frowning. "Hey... did you hear that?" He asked, still sounding a little breathless, hair messed up.

Quentin jumped slightly at the noise, but he started to just shrug it off -- teens came out to the woods a lot. Though..he still felt some nerves, it was always weird to feel like you were being watched. "..yeah," he said softly, his free hand moved to settle on top of the hand Simon had put around his waist. He looked around, squinting against the darkness.

"Why don't we get going, it's getting a little late anyways," Simon suggested, looking nervous all of a sudden. He hated the feeling, that anyone could walk in on them at any given time, especially since this was his brothers area, and the last thing he wanted to do was subject Quen to his brother and his friends. He grabbed the boys hand, gently pulling him up when he heard a horribly familiar voice. Simon froze, closing his eyes for a moment, not looking at Quen, wishing there was some way he'd be able to poof the two of them out of this situation.And to think everything was going so well. He thought bitterly, turning slowly.
"Well, well, well, it's the little snot-nose," His brother crowed, a couple of his friends and girlfriend in tow. The two looked nothing alike, his older brother, barely taller but all muscle, with a military-like hair style and tanned skin and a cruel smirk on his face. Everything about this guy screamed spoiled rich kid bully, and it was nauseating. Compared to his brother, Simon almost looked like a doll, not quite real, with his pale skin and longer, thicker hair. Simon dropped Quens hand, folding his arms together and scowling.
"What do you want?" He spat, looking at his brother with malice, seemingly ready for a fight.
"Just wanted to know what my little brother was doing. I couldn't believe it when I thought I saw you, it's a school night" he paused, letting out a laugh as if he thought it was funny."Y know, I got to hand it to you, that lie you told mom scared her away for a month. Like, literally man, you freaked her out so much she just left, saying she was going to be gone on a business trip for awhile. Man, why didn't I think about telling her I had cancer?" He asked, laughing as if he found it hilarious. Simons face paled, but he didn't say anything, not yet, deciding it would be easier for him to just believe that, although the sting of what he said about their mother was all to real. Why would he think I would make up something as horrible as that? He thought, feeling miserable all over again, especially now that he knew why his mother suddenly left, because, despite her seeming worried parent act, she still left because of him. "Who's this?" He continued, peering over at Quen. "None of your business." Simon said immediately, wanting to take Quen away before things got too bad. "Ah, so your just trying to get some sympathy, eh? Don't even want them to meet your family?" "It's not like that, screw off," "What did you just say to me, Snot?" Aaron asked, his joking facade falling for a moment. Simon felt his stomach drop, knowing that trouble was brewing, knowing the look on his brothers face. The thin boy braced himself, knowing a punch was coming his way if he kept it up. "I said it's none of your business." Simon growled, knowing he might just be playing with fire. (You can jump in with any of the other guys if you want XD)

Quentin shifted on his feet nervously, shoving his hands in his pockets. His gaze flickered between the two as they spoke, he couldn't imagine ever communicating like this with Edil -- but not all siblings were friends. Though, the confrontation was beginning to light his nerves ablaze -- while he definitely had no trouble arguing the energy he felt off arguments was still uncomfortable and unsettling. He nudged at Simon's shoe with his own, a silent way of saying the should probably just go.
One of Aaron's friends shot Quentin a look as he nudged Simon, almost with a tone of 'you're in this now and no one's going anywhere' which made the nerves of the other teen skyrocket. The other jock had crossed his arms, taking up a stance behind his friend. He had to keep up the air he gave off, show no weakness. Even if he didn't really have an issue with Simon, Aaron was his friend -- thus, he'd stand with him.

Simons lips thinned when he felt himself be nudged by Quen. The dark haired teen hesitated, glancing back at the curly haired boy, eyes softening momentarily, but given a small shake of his head: there wasn't any way they would be able to get out of this one unscathed. He could tell his brother was itching for a fight- and when Aaron wanted something, Aaron would get it. Simon took off his glasses, just in case, folding them up carefully and handing them to Quen, having no intentions of breaking them. " "Now, are you going to let us go, or not?" He said quietly, his face looking a little older without his glasses on, and he gently tried to move his brother to the side, when he felt hands shove him back, the boy stumbling and falling on his butt about a foot away from Quen.
"I don't think so, Snot. You clearly haven't learned you're lesson from last time. You've got to give you're older brother some respect," He leered, taken a threatening step forward, but Simon looked up at him with a bored expression. If he really wanted to, he'd be able to take on Aaron. His brother might have weight on him, but Simon was smarter when it came to fighting, he just knew if he threw a punch, Aarons goons would go after him, and quite possibly Quen too, and he didn't want that.
"C'mon, nothing to say to me?" Aaron asked, sneering as his friends started to laugh, finishing the distance between them and stepping on Simons bad leg, the dark haired boys face twisted in pain, but he said nothing.
"Hey, Aaron, why don't we get going?" One of the other boys said, looking a little nervous. Sure, he'd go along with whatever Aaron had planned, but it didn't sit right with him, actually injuring Simon, and the weight seemed to hurt him.
