when his mother came home from work he let her know he was feeling sick and so escaped a lecture on energy-conservation though to be quite frank it was no virus that had him in his room

[Poggio]

It was another two weeks before he thought about going to the movies again. This time he was thankful for the darkness and the cool air to hide his peeling skin.

[littl3chocobo]

there was no more issue after the afternoon he spent at home, at least for a while. it grew hotter and more and more people left for the summer to either escape the heat or find places that were more blistering and most days found him with only a few stranded companions to watch three hours of movies to escape the crush of the heat, he did not mind this and had in the back of his mind the thought that either the creepy guy had followed the idiot masses or was biding his time. either way he was not expecting to hear a familiar voice a few seats down

[Poggio]

Looking around he saw the theater was nearly empty say for his friend and another person a few seats down he could not quite see in the darkness. Silently he shifted out of his shirt rubbing his hands over a particularly bad patch of peeling skin he got while playing beach volleyball. He said nothing as his friend mentioned something about free refills and being back before the previews ended. Just as he turned back to watch the movie he saw his friend stumble over the other person causing a familiar accusatory exclaim.

[littl3chocobo]

it was not the pedo who tripped over him though as the clumsy bitch apologized and left he could see a familiar face turns towards him. slumping down he tried to hide though he was only halfway given a reprieve as the other simply scooted down one seat leaving only two between them

[Poggio]

Alex was not coming back, he realized by the time the female lead died. The space between he and the boy gradually erased its self until he was sitting right beside Skittles. Silently he sipped on the remains of his drink as the credits rolled. He turned to the boy and asked. "Hay wanna go get some pizza?"

[littl3chocobo]

he was expecting as much though the groping that usually preceded the question never came. he remained motionless, "no matter how many times i tell you to leave me alone you keep coming back... if i go will you quit asking?"

[Poggio]

He reached up and rubbed his chin. "It depends on which you want me to stop asking you about. Also you don't have to go if you don't want to. I just can' eat an entire pie by my self but that is what I am craving you know?"

[littl3chocobo]

seeing the trap he grimaced though there was little he could do outside of hitting or storming off, "fine, then what is the cost of the pizza? i doubt you'd be content with just knowing i am not starved"

[Poggio]

He waved his hand. "As always the food and the transportation are on me. I have extra funds until school starts and books eat up my money." His other statement confused Jordon, so he found himself simply smiling. "What else do you have to do today?"

[littl3chocobo]

he had nothing and he was sure even through the gloom the fact of it could be read. he tried not to feel embarrassed, "you are a very weird and really creepy guy, i hope you know this"


(he will follow without a fight now)

[Poggio]

"So I have been told by you many times." He said rising as the lights came back on. He put his shirt back on wincing as the fabric touched his skin. He led the boy out the theater to the spot where his car was parked. "is there a time that you need to be home?" He wondered.

[littl3chocobo]

he had not realized the other was shirtless until the lights came on and he was given an eyeful of sunburn but the fabric was quick to cover it and the other lead him out. when they were outside the other boy spoke up again and he shrugged, "before midnight i guess though i am always home before dark"

[Poggio]

"Alright Cinderella, I promise you, you will be home before the bell strikes midnight. " Quickly he pushed the button to unlock his car, opening the doors to allow the heat to escape. He found himself leaning against the hot metal, looking at the grumpy boy. "If you really just want to be left alone I will take you home instead and not bother you for a while."

[littl3chocobo]

dubiously he raised one brow, "and why don't i believe what you just said? when i tell you to leave me alone you come back anyway, i doubt telling you again will change much. just stop molesting me in theaters and i will be grateful"

[Poggio]

He looked at the sky and the relief that sky promised under the approaching cloak of darkness. "Because" He said holding his eyes a loft. "You are just as strange as I am, but I do not like to waste my time. If this is going to end up as a fruitless endeavor I will cut my losses go get take out and go home. I am tired of getting my hopes up just to be left alone. So if you really want to be alone then just let me take you home." Finally he twisted his head and looked at Skittles.
