Thread: New Kid [Amigar & Fox Writer]

John would narrow his eyes at Nathan saying he was wrong about people caring about him. Just because people get scared of whatever your father does or says, doesn't mean they don't care. Anna seems sad about how you've changed over the years. Or at least she seemed to miss the old you, so she obviously cares. He would nod a bit at the rest of what he said about making his dad happy to avoid the worst of it, both feeling sad and aware that the guess he'd told Anna was on point. Well, only if he actually knew you were coming over here, really. If you came over the neighbor's fence on the opposite side from your place, there's a side door through the shed you might be able to get in through without ever being seen by your dad. Jason would have grinned slightly when Nathan mentions that sexuality doesn't really matter as far as he cared. He would nod a little and lower his head. Yeah, sexuality is just something that defines a person really. And a lot of people don't like things that don't fit 'their' definition of normal. Unless is also fits into their definition of 'hot'. Like those people who hate male homosexuals, but are more than happy to watch two women with each other. As if it's not still same-sex relationships. He would smile softly at the other boy's reassuring words, before looking down at his hands and the washcloth again, twisting the cloth and squirming. Yeah...my dad was the same way. He didn't have problems with sexuality, but other things...well..not too different from your dad. He would arch an eyebrow and glance back to Nathan, with a small smirk. Well, if you're a freak, then you're in good company. And I'd prefer a freak than anyone your dad considered 'normal', I think. Wanting friends, -actual- friends is always smart, not just those guys you hang out with at school. No, I think if the world stayed away from you, it would be more of a bad thing, honestly. Jason would tilt his head when the other switched to talking about the homework. Well, Yea..being able to do your own homework is always better than not. And I could always help you out, on the homework front...I'm not a nerd or anything, but I can always help at least. Dyslexia isn't the same as illiterate...I've heard that much before at least. He would shake his head a little and give a sad smile at the apology, lowering his gaze again. It's alright. I was a pretty natural target in the town I grew up in as well, though people had mostly gotten used to me, there were still a couple that liked having someone different to single out. Wasn't able to keep my secret all the way through elementary, middle, and part of highschool.. He would shrug a shoulder, glancing back up at him. To be fair, a lot of that happy look was just hoping that if I seemed upbeat enough and friendly enough, then someone might still want to be my friend. Even with the risks involved at the time... He would sigh a little and glance towards the door briefly as Nathan mentions hoping someone would have stood up to him, and maybe eventually his dad, tilting his head some. Huh...well, my mom probably would stand up to him. After all, she's said before she's had more than her fill of bullies. That's why she divorced dad. Though I'd have to catch her some time when she's not working from morning to night. John would close his eyes as he hugged Nathan, humming a soft lullaby like his mom always did when he was upset. He would continue hugging Nathan, lifting a hand to gently rub the back of Nathan's head when it was rested on his shoulder, painted nails gently stroking through his hair. No reason to be sorry, there's nothing wrong with crying. And it wasn't stupid, either. So get that out of your head. And how's he going to cause problems, if he doesn't know you're here? Surely you can at least stick around until the time your dad normally passes out? My room is upstairs and opposite your place, we could watch a DVD or something for a while, not having to worry about him noticing anyone is even home over here.
