"Boyfriends," Quentin mumbled to himself, "..yeah, totally," he added, bringing himself back into the moment. Sitting up a bit taller he couldn't keep the grin off his face -- every part of him felt like he was just buzzing. He was swinging into another very good mood and he hoped it would last the whole school day. He knew he couldn't help it but he didn't want his moods to affect Simon -- he had a lot going on and wouldn't need that. When he got to the school he parked his car and shut it off, just turning to Simon to look at him.
(wanna skip through the day?)

(Das true XD I just wasn't sure where to start lol)
It didn't take Simon long to come to, the boys anesthetic was rather light, considering it was a simple out-patient surgery to get a port in before his treatment started. The dark haired teen blinked groggily, his eyes not adjusting to the light in the hospital room, seeing a blurry figure but not much else. He shifted a little in the hospital bed, in a complete haze, not at all present, but was trying to speak to whoever the blurry figure was. "Guess what?" He mumbled, trying to lean forward, as if he where trying to tell a secret, the boy looking distinctly ruffled from laying on the bed.

(im remembering when i woke up after my semi recent surgery lol. i tried to text my partner and i couldnt read it at all after i was less groggy lol.)
Elena looked up from what she was doing, smiling softly when she noticed he'd woken up -- plenty of surgeries were very simple and safe but there was always a risk of complications. So seeing that everything was going fine was always a relief to her. She was about to open her mouth to ask him if he wanted anything to drink at all when he spoke instead. Stepping a bit closer she tried to keep from laughing, this was a bit silly. "What?"

(Oh dear XD)
Simon blinked, frowning a little when someone actually responded. He didnt recognize the voice- it sounded like a lady though. Simon pulled his legs up and looped his arms around them, using it to support him so he could sit up properly. He straightened his back for a moment, confused before continuing on with his monologue, slumping back down onto his arms, his voice still slurred as he came to. "I have a secret." He told his with a stage-whispered voice, blinking owlishly, as if he had the best secret in the world, like he had found the holy grail or a million dollars, something of that proportion.

Elena checked on Simon while also listening to him talk. She'd been very tired after arriving home the previous day but this definitely looked like the boy who'd been with Quentin. She'd also heard her son talk about a boy named Simon before -- this probably wasn't just a coincidence. Regardless she listened to what Simon was saying, definitely curious.

Simon let out a giggle, flinching away with the light touch of the nurse, but then relaxed, letting her check him, flinching when he checked the small red area where the port had been put in, but then settled back down again. Even in his groggy state, even after the admittedly overwhelming appointment he had before they put the port in, explaining how they where, in fact, going to have to remove a good portion of his leg, and explained what they would be doing for the next year, but most of it was medical jargon that went over the poor boys head, even when they tried to make it simple to understand. He just stared at the pale green wall behind them with some flowers on it- one of the best thing about still being in Peds, he decided, was that there was enough stuff to look at to tune other people out. Currently, the boy was staring at some orange blob behind the nurse, before continuing. "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone" He hummed, a goofy smile on his face.

"Okay," Elena said, she shook her head to herself, smiling just slightly. At least it wasn't all bad in hospitals. Even of this poor boy would be going through a lot for a while he'd be fine for now and that mattered. She took a moment after checking over him to take a breather and listen to him. It was a pretty quiet night -- while the day of the week didn't usually affect the activity much it was a week day. More younger people ended up doing things like breaking bones when they were turned lose on the weekends. So it was just a normal day really, a little bit slower. Elena wasn't sure if she enjoyed more or less patients. Of course, morally she'd love no one to be hurt. But sometimes when they had a slow night it just really dragged on.

"I didn't go home last night," He whispered, the grin growing on his face at the thought of last night, not having any idea who this nurse was exactly. He picked at the blanket, but not because he was embarrassed, It just looked funny to him, so he started to play with it. "I spent the night at a boooooys house, and I kissed him and he kissed meeeee. He's very nice, and funny too," He blurted in a sing-songy voice, flopping onto his back, shaking the bed slightly as he grinned to himself. Now he wasn't talking to the nurse so much as speaking what he was thinking, staring up at the stickered ceiling. "He's very kissable, you know." He added seriously, turning to look at the blur that was next to him.

Elena laughed quietly to herself, holding her hand over her mouth. While she definitely trusted Quentin she might need to have a talk about having boys that you kiss sleep over. Regardless..it was a bit reassuring to know that her son could handle himself in a healthy way when it came to romance. She was always worried it may be too much or too stressful, that he would never try to date anyone because of what happened with his parents. "Oh, really?" She said with a soft laugh, shaking her head a bit.

Simon nodded in confirmation, squinting so he could make out the womans features, but was unable to so he shifted in his bed, wincing when he moved his stomach- although it didn't hurt bad, he might have forgotten about the fact he was actually kicked. He frowned, unsure why the nurse was laughing. The teen squinted a little bit, trying to remember why his stomach hurt. "Mhm. and I get to call him my boyfriend," He mumbled, the goofy smile returning on his face as the tightness faded, his hand on his stomach almost protectively. "He's really..." Simons face scrunched when he tried to remember the word he was looking for. The image of Quen was stuck in his mind, but he could find the word. "He's..." He stopped again, before signing 'cute', not able to verbalize the word but remembering what the sign was for it, more comfortable signing than talking, like he usually was when he was tired or just waking up. Sign might not be his first language, but he most certainly felt more comfortable with it. (Throwback to all the times when I couldn't remember the english word for something but could sign it/ finger spell it How I couldn't say it if I could spell it I don't know/forgetting other people don't know basic ASL and start signing with them. )

Elena smiled to herself -- and of course she knew sign, having a mute son and another son who, while he wouldn't admit it definitely slipped into bouts of being non-verbal. At least she knew Quentin would be okay with this boy, he seemed like a good kid, Quentin definitely needed a nice boy in his life. The whole situation with Patrick was a bit messy about a year or two back. She definitely would have to have Quentin invite Simon for dinner sometime when she was home and he was doing better -- it would be nice to formally meet the boy her son was dating now.
(omg,,)

(Its definitely a problem XD XD whoops )
Simon blinked at the blur, slowly coming to, a little bit more alert, still not having much of a speech filter, but his words where less slurred. He reached an arm out towards where the small table was, searching for his glasses now that he realized that he actually wasn't wearing them. He couldn't find them, and wasn't sure where they went if they weren't on the table. "What 'bout you? Family?" He mumbled, suddenly curious about the quiet nurse. Although why he asked about family instead of boyfriends or girlfriends, he didn't quite know.

"Mm, I've got two sons around your age," Elena said with a small smile. She got Simon his glasses, they'd been moved so they didn't get knocked off the table. "Do you need anything to drink?" She tried to mention as little as she could -- there was no need to embarrass Simon by telling him it was actually her son he'd been gushing about in his partially conscious state.

"Two? I'm sorry." Simon said, eyes wide as he grabbed his glasses, putting them on his face, blinking as the room sharpened around him, looking at the woman, putting a face to a name. Two teenage boys would be a handful- he knew, considering he had a brother himself. He shook his head at the offer of something to drink, trying to get off of the bed. "No. Nothing to drink. I need to go back home, so I can get here on time tomorrow." He insisted groggily, stumbling slightly when he tried to get his footing, only because he was the slightest bit clumsy.

Elena chuckled softly, "Okay, be careful," she said, moving to help keep him steady. She had to keep this exchange in mind to tell Quentin when she got the chance. Not only would it be at least sort of entertaining, knowing that Simon just mentioned him would probably make her son happy. The next day was Friday -- so she'd definitely be able to see Quentin, Edil was always up once she finally got up but that was because he was home schooled. Quentin and Elena usually just miss each other or only got to speak for a short amount of time most days.
(should we skip?)

When school got out Quentin went to find Simon -- it was Friday and his mom would be home meaning they would have a family dinner. It hadn't been horribly long but..he did want to invite Simon over anyways since it would finally be the weekend. The first place he checked was the band room, peeking in the practice rooms as he looked around.
(sorry its shorter)

The morning had been rough- he skipped out on all of his morning classes, although he had to because of the treatments, which left him completely exhausted, and after a while a little bit sick, too. Actually he was beginning to feel like the sick was coming in waves, and he somehow lucked out that another wave hadn't hit him yet. He told himself he was one of the lucky ones- plus this was his first round, of course it wouldn't be that bad, right? He managed to get himself to his last two classes of the day- Physics and Precalculus. At the end of his classes he snuck into one of the practice rooms that was hardly used and curled up in the corner, arm over his face as he fell fast asleep, barely stirring when the door opened.

Quentin let a brief look of worry cross his features before he crossed the room to Simon. He crouched down next to him, a hand absentmindedly brushing over his hair before lightly nudging at his shoulder. "Rough day?" His brows drew together in concern and he leaned back on his heels a bit to steady himself.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come over tonight? My mom was gonna cook dinner, you can try the classic Todd family cuisine," he continued on, rushing his words before he could get nervous and back out. Quentin didn't really want to think of it as something that was a big deal -- meeting his mom -- because to him it wasn't necessarily. But he did worry that the idea might scare Simon off.

"mm?" He mumbled for a moment, responding to the boys touch, rolling over onto his back to get a better look at Quen, his dark blue eyes clouded over with sleep. He blinked a few moments, readjusting his glasses and shrugging at the question on whether it was a rough day, not wanting to worry the boy too much, picking himself up onto his elbows, listening to the rest of his proposition, noticing how nervous he looked. A crooked grin spread a crossed his face at the thought of going back to Quens house and meeting his mom. He was a little bit worried about actually eating in front of others- his doctors had warned him about how his stomach might not agree with food while the chemo was running through his body, but he was still excited.
"Yeah- Yeah, I'd love that. What time?" He asked,gently pulling his boyfriend down to sit next to him, tempted to kiss him but knew better, because, again, doctors orders. He just needed to make sure he made it home at some point of the night, knowing Aaron probably wouldn't be home- when their mom wasn't home he was rarely at the house over the weekends, unless he was putting on a party, and then left his phone off so their mom would think that he actually observed Shabbat.

Quentin cracked a grin, moving to sit on the floor. One hand moved to brush over Simon's, tracing nonsense shapes over the back of his hand. "Five? Five thirty maybe?" His nerves started to dissipate, excitement starting to build inside him. Just a lot of excitement, from having a boyfriend, for dinner, for starting an uphill climb from the state he'd been in last school year. After everything with Patrick he'd sort of crashed and burned -- needing to step back and look at himself. But now everything was getting better and he just couldn't keep a smile off his face.
"Do you need me to drive you?" He wouldn't outright say it but Simon did look a bit worse for wear. But that was kind of expected, it definitely was tough for him at the moment. For now he'd just help him when he could.

"Yeah- that works for me. But I'm gonna have to actually go home tonight." He responded with a dramatic sigh, leaning his head onto the tan boys shoulder, smiling down at Quens hand faintly, trying to imagine what dinner would be like. He was excited about meeting his mom- a little bit weird, yes, considering that most people where horrified at this step, but he was excited. He wanted to meet her, and maybe even get to know Edil even more. He paused at the offer, he could hear the hesitancy in the boys voice, and his mouth quirked up a little bit more.
"What? Do I really look that bad?" He teased, before the smile faltering. Honestly, he was able to get his car back, convincing Emma to drive him to the local airport and grabbing his car before his appointment the day before, but he opted to take the bus from his treatments, not trusting himself to actually drive feeling so tired. He could barely make it through his classes today, let alone drive home. Even after closing his eyes for awhile, he still felt like most of the energy in his body was still drained from him. "But, yeah, would you mind?" He asked shyly, probably the closest he'd come to admitting he was iffy on driving.
