Mark My Words; open

[Deleted]

"Don't be, i-it's not your fault.." That was the problem. Connor would tell people that, yet he was prone to apologizing about things that didn't need apology. Maybe he was nicer to others than himself, though he could be a complete ass too.
He hesitated, biting at his lip ring. "Y-y-you probably don't need s-some guy hugging you in front of yo-our friends though.." He huffed a bit.

[Attyston Thomas]

I shrug my shoulders slightly, though I don't venture to say anything in response to his uneeded apology. It wasn't his fault. I just wanted him to feel better. "Honestly? I don't give a shit about that people think about me. Haters gonna hate. Besides, they were cool with me once I told them that I wasn't attracted to either of them. They're friend-zoned." I reply, a small grin on my face. It was sorta funny, or at least to me. "Besides, you're not 'some guy'. You're.. my friend." I add, hoping that Connor didn't notice the hesitation in my voice. He was cute, I had to admit. But, I needed to stop thinking like that. He was my friend and probably thought I was weird for hugging him so long. If he wanted to push me away, he could.

Connor laughed a bit, the last of that tension fading away. It had taken long enough. "I-it's good to know a-at least one cute guy wants to be my friend." He lifted his head to look at Attyston sheepishly, a crooked smile teased his lips, cheeks a little flushed especially as he realized how close their faces were because of the hug. He ducked his head some, almost in a shy manner which was rare. Those lip rings..
Where the heck did the sudden attraction come from?

[Attyston Thomas]

His laugh reaches my ears. He was finally coming out of his shell a bit, which was nice- everyone needed a hug once in a while. He was getting more comfortable around me, too. I just hoped that Riddle or Gene didn't ruin it. They could be idiots sometimes. A blush creeps across my face at Connor's comment about how he had at least one cute guy to be his friend. He meant me. Ohmygod he meant me. He lifts his head to look at me, a grin across his lips. I suddenly realize how close we were, our arms still wrapped around each other. I take a breath, finally plucking up all my courage to lean in to kiss him, his lip ring and one of mine clacking together slightly.

Connor was still trying to decide what to do with this predicament of cuteness when he felt lips on his. He tensed and briefly began to push away, panic washing over him as he broke it. But searching that face, calmness returned, arms sliding back around the male as he hesitantly returned to those lucious lips, kissing back tenderly at first, leaning closer than before.
His heart was racing, in a good way this time. Butterflies curled his stomach. My god...what in the world was he doing...?

[Attyston Thomas]

He tenses and pulls back. Hadn't I expected as much? A blush creeps across my face and I'm about to turn back around to think of how to fix this situation when Connor's arms wrap back around me and he pressed his lips to mine again, his body close to mine. We stay interlocked for a while, a couple whispers and insults reaching my ears before a loud voice reaches my ears- for the second time today. "We leave for five minutes and you're making out with the new recruit?" Gene asks loudly and I ignore him for a moment before finally pulling back, though I don't get very far. Soon the problem presents itself: our lip rings had somehow moved so that we were stuck together. A chuckle comes out of my mouth. I couldn't help it. It was rpetty funny, and apparently Riddle and Gene agreed with me, from their guffaws.

[Deleted]

Connor had completely melted. He didn't even care. He let go with a hand to flip off where the insults came from, then rested it on Attyston's chest.
Then his huddies came back and Connor jumped, a blush coloring his cheeks, followed by a whine when he realized they were stuck together. It took a moment before Connor began to snicker at the problem they now had, and then he began to laugh softly. Well, shit.

[Attyston Thomas]

"Well." I say simply, though it was a bit of a mumble because it was hard to mvoe my lips with my lip ring stuck to his. "Here, let me get it." Riddle says, reaching over. I smack his hand away. "No! I'm sitting like this." I say boldly, moving my arms from around Connor and determinedly crossing them over my chest. They shake their heads, sitting down across from us. "You guys are disctracting me from my food, untangle or something." Gene says, running a hand through his faded orange hair. "No, I'm happy like this." I reply innocently, suddenly leaning forward to press my lips to Connor's again. Riddle rolls his eyes and a chuckle escapes me.

[Deleted]

Connr laughed at Attyston's reaction, smirking as best he could to himself. He jumped a bit at the kiss, not near as bad as before, and kissed back, tongue brushing the other male's lips briefly, a hand moving to the back of his head mainly to spite the other two, finding himself a little more comfortable with..well..being himself.
His cheeks were still warm, but he wasn't really blushing anymore, other hand still on Attyston's chest.
This had been a quick turn of events.

[Attyston Thomas]

He jumped in slight surprise at the kiss before his tongue ran over my lips, his hand resting on the back of my head, the other still on my chest. I wrap my arms around Connor's neck happily. This had been a weird turn on events, but I could dig it. "Get a room." Riddle says and I flip him the bird, to which he probably rolled his eyes. I deepen the kiss slightly before Gene's voice takes me from it, once again. "Where does this leave you guys?" he asks, I pull back and glare at him crossly from the corner of my eye, but I shrug my shoulders, wondering what Connor thought of the current situation.

[Deleted]

Connor smiled a bit, reaching up and gently untangling them, before kissing him hesitantly again. He searched his face, actually meeting his eyes for the first time.

[Attyston Thomas]

A smile crossed his face as we finally come up for air, his hand reaching up to seperate us before Connor leans in to kiss me again. I could get used to this, I really could. His eyes meet mine and I smile at him reassuringly. I scramble for something witty and charming to say, though eventually I just repeat Gene's question. "Where does this leave us?" I ask curiously, though I keep my voice down so that Gene and Riddle couldn't hear. They were my friends and all, but some things were better left between the people that it involved. "I mean, not being like, we kissed now we have to date each other or anything." I add quickly, a blush blossoming on my cheeks again and I look down at my lap awkwardly. I clear my throat, hoping that Connor didn't think that I was needy or clingy or that I jumped to conclusions or something like that.

(ooc: posts are supposed to be 100+ words, but I know that you had to go and I didn't leave much to reply to, we've both been skimping out a bit, sorry.)

[Deleted]

Connor listened, biting at his lip and shrugging sheepishly. "I-I dunno...where you-u want it to leave us..?"
They didn't know a lot about each other. What here had just happened? Connor wasn't often a desperate person when it came to relationships. Especially sexual ones. Unless he was at a party and drunk or high as hell.
"I-...I'd be up for it again.." An embarrassed laugh. "I'd-...I'd like to g-get to know you, if you're up for that.."
Oh, what was he sayig? Nobody wanted to get to know him...his story, what he aas like anymore. And he defintely didn't want Attyston knowing any of that..

[Attyston Thomas]

I let out a soft chuckle, shaking my head at him slightly as if in exasperation. "Don't turn the question back on me, that's not how it's supposed to work." I sigh, looking down at my lap, almost forgetting Riddle and Gene were across the table from us, that we were in a food court full of people. I didn't know much about him, and he didn't know much about me. But, that could change; if Connor wanted it to. A blush creeps over my face at his next words, along with a shy smile. "Me too. Definitely." I reply honestly with a wink. "I'm up for it, sounds like a plan to me." I say, smiling at him reassuringly.

[Deleted]

Connor smiled when Attyston agreed. He had been worried that he might not. "Well g-good," He breathed, finally glancng at the other two a bit sheepishly before peering down at his backpack to check on Jascaar. He reached to zip it partially. Wouldn't want anybody nosing around in there, finding out what kinds of things were rolled neatly in plastic bags at the bottom.
He shifted his weight a bit awkwardly in his seat, not really sure what to say after everything that had happened. But the silence wasn't so bothersome this time, a faint smile still lingering across his lips.
