arvo's brow furrows lightly in concern, he was never the poetic type after all, math problems and scientific methods--that was more his thing, but he hoped his words came as a comfort nonetheless. he fidgets with his hands, looking away for a moment in thought, until--he perks, a notebook page slid his way. 💊

he plucks it from the table, his heart can't help but break a little, see -ing the remnants of emotion so obvious on the page. but, he doesn't mention it, as louis was obviously trying to keep spirits high--as usual. 💊

instead, arvo smiles lightly, and hums in thought, " oh gosh, i dunno. i have so many favorites, you know? " he thinks on it a moment longer. " maybe lilacs? they're just so pretty, plus their meaning in flower language is rather sweet. " a nod, nod, nod. 💊

" what about you, louie? what kind of flower would you be? " he slides the page back over, so the other could, of course, write out his answer. 💊

mitch and arvo had been arguing, bickering as the two of them are inclined to: a rather heated debate, it would seem, as mitch has stepped forward, jabbing his finger into arvo's chest, leaning in close to make a point.

or rather, that's what the intent had been: instead, mitch lingers there, scowling at arvo, breaths mingling. the moment is fraught with tension, and mitch, as impulsive as he is, leans in, pressing his lips to arvos. // from mitch, to arvo, obvsies!!

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo isn't sure what had spurred their initial argument, to be honest--it was a slow build, annoyance, tempers rising to a boil under the surface, a tense back, forth, a nerve struck, it was a sudden snap, like a rubber-band pulled too tightly. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ no-one was around around to hear their shouting match, this time at least, (does it still make a sound?): they were tucked into the back of the greenhouse, with only their quickly rising voices to fill the space. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ mitch steps forward and rams a finger into the gardener's chest, which only makes him roll his eyes, and reply with his best snark in return, but... then there's a pause, they glare at each other, flushed faces inches apart, simply stewing in their so called anger, (synonyms, read: passion, excitement, fervor). 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ suddenly, mitch's lips are being pressed into arvo's, and the teen can't help but stiffen, surprised. his shoulders hunch, he bristles. blue eye's widen, and blink a few times owlishly, thoughts, and heart, racing as heads tilt, lips slide together. his eyes flutter as everything begins to slowly quieten, melting under the other's touch, and into his arms. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ he softly whines between kisses, panting lightly, " m--mitchy... " he mumbles, as thin fingers curl into the fabric of the other boy's jacket. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

arvo pauses mid-action, alcohol pad stinging stationery fingers, brows lightly furrowing with his own confusion upon hearing the other's confe -ssion. he blinks, once, then twice, glancing up, meeting mitch's intense gaze as he absent-mindedly pushes up his sliding glasses with a finger. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ mouth and tongue twist, crisscross: uselessly fumbling over words for a moment, before finally settling on a quiet, " you, you don't...? " 💊‏‏‎ ‎ they stare at each other for a bit, before gazes finally awkwardly break, looking elsewhere, though the other still continued to explain himself. 'would i hang around ya so much if i didn't, i dunno, not dislike you?', arvo seems to fluster, the more the idea is pressed upon, confirmed.💊‏‏‎ ‎ " i--i don't know! it's not like you seem to enjoy it much, being around me, i just thought... you were bored? that you had nothing better to do. " a sigh, he lightly shakes his head as he attempts returning to what he was doing, working on mitch's wounds. there's a long pause between the two, then-- 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " i mean, i don't... i don't hate you either, obviously. i like having you around, even. to have someone that challenges me? i just. " 💊‏‏‎ ‎ he takes the bandages and begins wrapping up the other's arm, " well, you get it, i suppose. and, anyway. i thank you for 'defend -ing my honor', or whatever, but. " pursed lips, " maybe, hold off next time? i don't want you getting hurt, just for my sake, and all. " 💊‏‏‎ ‎

old computer parts and colorful wires, useless phones in pieces, arvo sits by himself, fiddling with his newest contraption quietly. tongue stuck out to the side, he's so focused he doesn't even notice his ally coming up behind him. 💊

arvo can't help but smile, at least somewhat reassured by the other's comforting words, he lightly nods, but still replies, " alright, if you're sure... if you need me to pick up the pace, though, just tell me. " 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

his hand is taken gently, boney fingers interwinding with louis' rather casually, and he hums, obviously content. it takes a moment longer for the other's words to truly settle in, the wink: the teen almost literally makes a squeaky-toy-esque noise, freckled cheeks quickly warming. he hadn't even realized that it could be taken that way, honest to god. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

so, he jumps to try and explain, " uh, sm-smooth, me? " he can't help but laugh a little, both at louis antic's and his own silliness, bashful, he looks away, " i don't know about that... " 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

" i just, um. thought, that... " a beat, " wait, not that holding your hand isn't nice, of course! " he fumbles, not realizing he was only digging a deeper and deeper hole. " because it is nice, and--and, i'm gonna shut up now. " he sort of whines in embarrassment, grimacing a bit at his nervous self. 💊‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

/ these two.. 🥺

@chmydarling // 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬 .

arvo can't help but worry about louis sometimes, a lot of the time, even--it must be hard, a lone sunflower in a field: trying to keep everyone's spirits up, not letting them see your own struggles... he wants the other boy to know he's there for him, too. friendship, it wasn't a one-way-street, after all! 💊‏‏‎

so, he gently takes louis' hand in his, the gesture a little awkward, as most things he did, but. he hoped it came as some sort of comfort anyway. 💊‏‏‎

" well, i'm glad, but... " a pause, a thoughtful one, he lightly adjusts his glasses with his free hand, " if you need anything, like... at all, you can tell me, right? " 💊‏‏‎

" ev-even if it's just. a joke, to cheer you up! i'm not as good at them as you, obviously, but i can certainly try! " he seems a bit embarrassed about being so forward, but he was quite determined, nonetheless. 💊‏‏‎

from marlon!! // resting his chin on his hand a moment, marlon looks up from the piece of paper he has been scribbling on. counting resources is exhausting, he thinks.

gaze falling to arvo, a soft smile curves his lips, a warm light touching pale blue eyes. watching arvo play with rosie... well, it brings a certain amount of happiness to him, settling itself in his chest. it feels almost... domestic, he thinks: a thing marlon believed he could never have.

" y'having fun? " he asks, a teasing lilt to his words. " don't spoil rosie too much, now. "

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo had snuck upstairs while the other ex-students gathered in the courtyard on this quiet day at ericson's, everyone kind of up to their own thing, something fun. well, except marlon, who was holed up in his office as usual, working on this and that: counting resources, planning out the hunting party's new routes... that just won't do. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ well, really, he couldn't stop him. after all, it needed to get done, but still, he could at least keep him company, right? so, that's what he's doing. plus, it's a little quiet -er up here, then it is in the yard, him being easily overwhelmed sometimes. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ the sun beams through the windows, peeking through the curtains, a subtle heat against skin, carding through hair--he can't help but smile. sitting on the mattress in the office, he squeaks a dog toy for rosie, gently tossing it across the room: then, giving lots of praise once she returns it. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ arvo perks when marlon speaks up, he simply laughs a little, before leaning over and gently squishing his own freckled cheek against a very-happy rosie's. glasses now slightly crooked, and he says... 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " come now! look how cute she is, is it really 'spoiling'? and if it is, can you blame me? " 💊‏‏‎ ‎

from marlon!! // " so, uh, hey, i found there. " marlon holds up a bag of seeds, a lopsided smile crossing his features. " for your herb garden, y'know? figured you might like 'em. "

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo had been sitting on the steps of the school building, hefty book in hand, when the hunting party finally returned. he glances up, curious, and happens to catch marlon's gaze from across the courtyard briefly. so, he smiles, and gives a little wave, something that's returned, be -fore the group shuffles off to take stock of everything they'd got. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ he goes back to reading, managing to read a few more pages, flipping through them casually before noticing--ah, marlon was standing there. arvo perks, a little surprised by the sudden visit, but it wasn't unwelcomed, of course. he absentmindedly snaps his book shut, and sets it to the side. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " yes...? " 'so, uh. hey, i found these,' the other explains, before holding out a few bags of seeds, for the greenhouse, his domain. the bespectacled boy can't help but light up, clapping his hands together gently in excitement, before taking the bags offered. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " for me? thank you, really!-- " a hum, thoughtful, glancing over the text labeling the items, " these are feverfew flowers. oh, or 'tanac -etum parthenium', if you're feeling fancy, i suppose! " he lightly laughs, absentmindedly pushing up his glasses with a finger. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " they're good for breaking fevers, of course, hence the name. but, they're also good for headaches, and can be used as a general antiseptic! interesting, isn't it? they're pretty, too... " a pause. 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " you'll come see them, once they're grown, won't you? " and he smiles, and he looks up at the other expectingly. 💊‏‏‎ ‎

from mitch!! // " god, you don't have to be so fuckin' mean, arvo, " mitch says -- which, yes, he is aware is quite rich coming from him.

@survdied // random asks, always accepting!

arvo huffs a little, arms crossed, obviously annoyed with whatever mitch had been up to. then the comment about his apparent 'mean -ness' is enough to make the boy roll his eyes. i mean, really...? 💊‏‏‎ ‎ " --yeah, well! maybe if you weren't an idiot, i would not have to be. ever thought of that? change starts with you. " reaching over, he then taps mitch on the forehead, to further punctuate his point. 💊‏‏‎ ‎
