Hey, You With The Cute Butt (Erik)

[Deleted]

This was all Charity's idea....or maybe it was Tempy's? At this point, neither girl could remember who's it was, but before they knew it, the twins were following that deliciously slender looking boy with the hair out of the hallways of Hammel and into the courtyard.

They'd seen this boy around before and had even observed him before. Watching from afar, they'd seen him interact with a number of other boys. Handsome boys. And all that handsome and cute just spurned on their imaginations.

"Hey, 'sup?"
"Not much."
"Your hair looks nice today."
"Oh, well, I try."

Such was a short snippet of a scenario they'd composed all by themselves upon seeing this black-haired southerner talk with another long haired hunk. Ohhh, they would be sooo perf together! Definitely OTP #1 in their book.

But that certainly wasn't the only one.

"Did you get the homework done for English yet?"
"Yeah."
"Darn. I guess I'm the only one who's having trouble."
"Want me to come over and help you study tonight?"
"Oh, really? Sure!"
"I'll see you tonight..."

Another work of art(completely made up) between their primary subject and his brief interaction with another hunk of a blonde man. Really, this boy with pretty much any good looking man just spun their imaginative juices out of control! Even with that pierced up asian, they could totally picture something going on there, though it was an ongoing debate who was uke and who was seme in that relationship.

Anyway, they sneaked and followed him out of the halls of Hammel into the courtyard and stealthily hid behind a tree while he brought out what looked to be a cigarette. Temperance looked onwards with a small set of binoculars while Charity looked on with a notebook in hand to write down their musings as they came. She didn't have the best of views, but she could still see through Temperance's eyes, so it was no bother for the moment.

Temperance sneezed.

"Hush! You'll give us away!" Charity whispered subtlety.

The sound startled him. He thought he’d been alone; it was silent and getting dark, the evening blue settling in around the school.

He hadn’t noticed them before. Or, if he did, he’d quickly put them out of mind, since he couldn’t possibly have seen them as something to be concerned about; blissfully unaware of any stories, pieces of art, or other fanciful imaginations concerning him, he’d gone about his business assuming that, like anyone, no one gave a single whit about his daily life. If he’d known he surely would have thought twice about the mumbling he did to himself when he thought he was alone.

Erik’s eyes followed the sound straight towards their hiding spot – a tree, as it were. Erik was embarrassed he hadn’t noticed them before. There were two of them, he saw, and one had a pair of glints for eyes. At first he thought they were merely glasses. Soon he figured out that they were actual, literal binoculars.

He was instantly offended. “Hey!” he shouted at them.

It seemed he couldn’t pass a single evening outside without his smoking interrupted these days. People insisted on poking and prodding and otherwise disturbing his peace.

It was true that the Quinns did this often. It was amusing and therefore it was a regular pass-time to go around and find pleasing looking boys, snap pictures of them, and then photoshop them with other pleasing looking boys. It worked even better when they didn't have to do that and they could get both boys in the same shot. Or series of shots.

They thought this pleasing boy looked very nice with the cigarette. Kind of bad-boy-ish but with a gently, aching soul that just wanted to be loved.

Yes, he was only pretending to be scary, to protect his poor tortured heart.

Despite this idea that they had somehow concocted, the two teens jumped when he shouted at them. Temperance yelped. "I told you, idiot!" Charity scolded her stupid twin.

Still, they couldn't help seeing just how adorable he looked all disgruntled and offended like that, and so they burst into collective giggles, ducking down to hide behind the tree that was far too thin to conceal them both.

Charity snapped a picture of that adorable face.
