Like... on the mouth kiss? Oh no. No, no. I don’t think there’s any- and no one would want to kiss me! So. No. That’s okay.

Well I have my eye on everyone, always, because otherwise how else am I supposed to recognize people and know what they look like? But I’m going to assume you’re not just talking visually, and mean something in a romantic sense? In that case, no. Kinda? I don’t know. Boys suck, but they’re also cute, so who knows?

Teddygroaned. And not the goodkind of groaning that Scott had been hearing all night, but the kindof holy-shit-I-fucked-up kind of groaning that, unfortunately, camewith no rewind or pause button. He'd screwed Scott and he'd screwedup.

Anniewas going to kill both of them.

Lettinghis head drop into the pillow beneath him, he brought a hand up tohis face and ran it over his features, shame engulfing him. As theevents of last night came crashing in, flashing images of Scott'stongue sliding down his torso, his hands combing through his hair.Things had gotten messy, Teddy was sure of it, and he vaguelyrecalled the other boy nipping at the lobe of his ear, Teddy's ownfingers raking down the skin of his back. The worst of all was thatTeddy had enjoyed it –and he hadn't even been drunk. He and Scott had just been screwingaround – figuratively and literallyit seemed – watching movies and talking smack about Johnny Depp andhis shitty acting choices. Suddenly, before he knew it, the two wereundressed and everything he'd dreamed about one day doing withAnnie... well, he wassuddenly doing it with his best friend's brother. And with a fewdifferent appendages involved, at that.

“Shecan't find out,” Teddy blurted out, before he could stop himself.He couldn't contain the words, nor the shame that trickled down hisneck. He knew that it was awful to lie to Annie, to hide somethinglike this from her, and yet he couldn't think of anything worse thanher finding out. It wasn't even that Scott was her brother,but that Scott... well, he wasn't her.

Annieand Teddy were just friends, he knew that. Sure, they were bestfriends, and he'd sooner laydown his life for the other girl and die than ever hurt her, but evenso, there hadn't ever been anything more to their relationship. Maybea kiss shared when they were just kids, Teddy a curious, shy boy whoharboured a foolish crush on his pretty best friend; but it hadn'tever amounted to anything more than that, even if he'd have liked itto. He loved her too much to compromise their friendship, and with astring of girls and guys fawning over him after he'd risen in theranks of the lacrosse team, he'd allowed his mind to wander away fromhis affections for Annie for a while, only to discover that hecouldn't truly hidehis feelings for her, not in their entirety. And now he'd fucked upfor good.

MaybeAnnie wouldn't mind. Maybe she'd be a little skeeved out at the ideaof her brother and herbest friend, but she'dnever care about the Teddy of it all – not really. There was nochance she felt the same for him as he did for her, but the guilt ateaway at him all the same.

Baaaaaaaabe, YAS this is my kind of question. Wait, can I have slept with them before? Who cares! 

Okay well my main baby boy Bertie ofc because he is the future daddy of this city, altho I think we’ll just snuggle for obvious reasons. Ummm Artie looks cute from his twitter icon plus he’s the Danny to my Sandy and we all know what they were doing on their summer nights. My boo Izzy is always a good time!! That gal has one talented tongue. And my girly Lily is the most precious, I bet she’s filthy.

“….. ——- you okay, Rae? Did ya get into my ecstasy stash..? How many times do I gotta tell you? I don’t just carry random candy in my purse..” Of course, she realizes that Rae is just .. Rae. Is there really a word to describe her? .. bubbly? .. annoying but kinda cute.. ? And, that her sober personality can be closely compared to Cher’s non-sober personality. 

“You’re lucky, blondie, that I can tolerate you. Otherwise, I woulda chopped your hand off by now for even just thinking about touching the mane. A lot of people have lost fingers doing what you’re doing right now.” But, she doesn’t pull away – instead, she leans her head closer to Rae’s hand, allowing her to comb fingers through her locks. In an odd way, it actually felt good – having someone gently caressing her head, and not the usual, rough stuff that normally caused her pleasure. 

“.. so. We gonna get some drinks after this? Come on, Rae. It’ll be funnnnnn.” 

“Oh you have so little faith in me. For the record, I am always cute, it’s just my face, see - cute always. On top of that, I’ll have you now that I don’t have stupid plans, my plans are always very smart, now shut up and listen up because this is what we’re going to do next.”

“—- move on? What do you have to move on from – ? It’s not like…” Oh. And just like that, questions on top of more questions rush through his already very occupied mind. He had never in a million years expected that Livvy, his best friend and closest confidant, would have to move on from him. 

“— why didn’t you tell me before? I mean.. that you were.. trying to move on? Or that, you know, you were even here and had to move on? I’m sorry – you just.. you never.. you never told me. You never acted like you wanted to..” 

I would have chose you. A million times over. As she stands there, her confession now lingering in the air – he realizes that he adores the way she would tuck a small piece of hair behind her ear or just how cute she looked with her nose in a novel during one of their coffee dates. 

Yet, it wasn’t easy anymore – with Ophelia now in the picture. Ophelia who very very openly shows interest in Milo; interest he has never seen from another person. 

“I’m sorry, Livvy. I’m.. it’s gonna take a minute to digest all of this,” he plops down on the nearby bench and pats the spot next to him. Her confession may have tossed him into a world of confusion, but he wasn’t letting her go that easy. “Would you want to join me as I digest this..? Possibly give me some insight on where this is all coming from?” 

With his knees to his chest, curledinto a ball on the corner of the couch, using the armrest as apillow, Todd lazily lifted a hand, waving it vaguely in Cooper'sdirection.

“I'm nothalf asleep,” he groaned, his words slurred as his eyelidsfluttered shut once more.

Okay,so maybe he was kindasleepy. He and Coop had been comfortably settled on the couch allevening, watching movie marathons and eating all the free pizza Toddhad to offer, and it had been amazing.In fact, his current good mood was also to blame for why he was sohopelessly pretending to be wide awake, when all his body wanted todo was sleep. But if he sleptthen he'd be unconscious – duh– and then he'd miss out on valuable time spent with Cooper, andthe opportunity didn't arise as often as he'd like.

Shiftinghis weight and lifting himself into a semi-upright position, hestifled a yawn with the back of his hand, before feeling his headinvoluntarily droop until it was resting on Cooper's shoulder.Jolting himself upright, blinking sleep away from his eyes, heblushed, before shooting his friend an apologetic smile. Damnthose traitorous limbs. The last thing he wanted to do was to makeCooper uncomfortable, or something.

“Heh,okay, so maybe I am alittle sleepy,” he muttered, as he shuddered out another yawn.Clearing his throat awkwardly and trying his best to ignore hismomentary slip up, he ran a quick hand over his face, willinghimself to stay awake, before jumping up off of the sofa and decidingthat coffee was the way forward. Sure, that'll do it!

Justas he had been all too ready to spin on his heels and head towardsthe kitchen, he froze, his brain finallyplaying catch up with the rest of the universe. Turning his headslowly to look at Cooper, the cogs in his brain spinning wildly, heblinked before allowing a wide, toothy grin to take over hisfeatures.

“Didyou just say I looked cute?”he asked, his mouth agape with pure, unadulterated joy. There reallywas no way of disguising just how happy that made him, and he wassure he'd regret such an open display of affection soon enough, butCooper didn't lookupset, and Todd felt as though his whole entire body was buzzing.

Unthinkingly,he stooped down, resting a palm on the arm of the chair so as to leaninto Cooper, before gently pressing a soft kiss to the other boy'snose, giggling all the while. Then, pulling away, his face flushed analmighty red, his ears burning all the while, he bit down on hislower lip so as to try and hide the smile that threatened to reallybetray him. His face was already the colour of Anna's hair, he didn'tneed Cooper to know he was completely devoid of some chill.
