Thread: New Kid [Amigar & Fox Writer]

John would smile, and nod, lightly running his painted nails through Nathan's hair idly still. He would pull his head back a little to look the other in the eye Yeah, she is. And faith in humanity is good, just...you need to..I dunno, learn to work around the bad spots. I guess. He would shrug his shoulders at the comments about adults and other kids, letting out a sigh. I'm not going to say that isn't true, cause a good portion of the time you can find bad adults and kids if you look hard enough. But it's not absolute. It can't be absolute, otherwise humanity would already have destroyed itself. Yaknow? He would grin a little at him staring at him, nodding at the question that followed. Yeah, I mean, hey...you apologized, right? Gotta learn to forgive. If I couldn't manage that I'd never have any friends, 'cause otherwise every little thing that people say, if you take it wrong and take it personally and don't forgive...well, I couldn't imagine a more miserable way to live.. Though he'd think the other boy's situation was well in the running for that. And yeah, if you'd want to be over for the whole weekend, I'd be up for it. I've got plenty of DVDs....dad always got one for me, after being particularly nasty...to try and make up for it. Didn't stop him from doing it again though....and at least it let me build up a good movie collection.. He chuckled self-depreciatingly, and shook his head. He hummed softly and tilted his head when Nathan corrects his statement about sexuality defining a person, then nods in response. You're right. Guess I can't quite get rid of some of that wrong way of thinking too well. And often enough, yes. He would smile back to Nathan as he agrees with his sentiment about the other's dad's acceptable people. Hey, you've apologized, so no need to keep bringing up the past. As long as you don't start doing it again. He would pull his hand back to mock-accusingly point a finger at his face, before breaking out in a wider grin. He would nod a little as he asked about secret, tilting his head forward and looking down to his lap. Yeah, secret... He would sigh a little, and release Nathan to turn back to the first aid kit and check through it. He would collect a tube of Icy Hot, now that Nathan seemed calmed down. I care. He would glance at him, then back down. And...if you promise not to tell anyone, I might share my secret with you..yaknow, all things considered. As for mom, well...she could always make an anonymous call or something? That's supposed to be confidential isn't it? He would arch an eyebrow at the other boy when he said crying gets you nothing. Nothing, huh? So you don't feel at all better after a good cry? I always do. Especially if it comes with a warm hug, and my mom's lullaby. He would smile again as he said he would stay, rising to his feet slowly and nodding towards the door to the living room, stepping around to click the stove light off. Good, follow me then. He would step out of the kitchen, and with the lights out and being seen from behind as simply a silhouette, his general shape of a thin frame, slightly wide hips, at least compared to most boys, would make him look more like a girl than a teen boy. He would lead Nathan to the stairs and slowly up it, a nightlight plugged into a wall socket at the top to help his mom find her way up when she got home exhausted. John would lead the other boy to the second door on the left, the first door open and noticeably a bathroom. He would flick the light on in his room, revealing it to be a mix of what one would expect of both a boy's room and a girl's room. Sheets with an Avengers theme on it, a couple of pillows, a soft pink and a blue one. His dresser with a full mirror on top of it, also holding a small selection of makeup and a softball mitt and ball. In the corner is a book shelf, the top three shelves packed full of DVDs in every space, a variety of different genres, from Action to Sci-Fi, or romantic comedies, while the bottom two shelves held books of mostly fantasy and sci-fi nature. Enough of a broad range of things to either indicate John's interests were varied, or the person who bought them knew nothing about their child. A night stand next to the bed had a light and a soft, worn-looking pink and white bunny doll. On a cheap entertainment stand lined up with the foot of the bed was a 30 inch tv and a playstation 3. Hey...if you want, I can put some icy hot on whatever is wrong with your back...? I noticed you wince earlier. He would smile at the thanks, nodding to him. You're very welcome.
