Lloyd paused in the doorway of his history class, clutching onto the strap of his messenger bag. There was an open seat by some of his basketball teammates and one waved him over. But there was also an open seat right next to this really cute boy he'd been crushing on for awhile. His teammates knew he was gay, but it wasn't something they really talked about - a couple of his teammates had been on his junior high's team. He gave them a guilty smile and quickly moved, slipping into the seat next to Xavier Rivers. He set his messenger bag on the floor and pulled out his textbook, notepad, and pen, setting them on his desk.

He twirled his pen between two fingers, subtly glancing over at Xavier as his mind tried to figure out some way to spark a conversation that wasn't the typical "hi." Nothing was coming to mind. He heard snickering and shot a look back at his teammates. The few guys that he was pretty sure were fine with his relationship preference were grinning at him and giving him a thumbs up. He quickly looked away, horrified. Was he that obvious? God, he hoped not.

He forced himself to stop twirling his pen and set it down on top of his notebook. He rested his arms on his desk, clasping his hands together to keep from fidgeting. He took in a breath and let it out before swiveling in his seat so he faced Xavier.

"Hi," he said despite how lame he thought he sounded. He hoped Xavier would reply soon or ignore him - he didn't know what else to say. Just looking at him sent butterflies fluttering around in his stomach. He could only imagine the affect Xavier talking to him would have. And if he ignored him, he reasoned he could just turn back to facing the board and pretend that he hadn't spoken up at all and later complain to his familiar.

History was a little bit of a touchy subject for Hunter Lockhart. The only part of history that he knew like the back of his hand was the era of the Salem Witch Trials and anything really involving witches or magic. His father had made him study it as if it was his religion, often saying that it was the best way for him to know the enemy. But other parts of history were hard for Hunter to learn.

With his right hand clutched to the strap of his backpack, Hunter stood in the doorway of the history classroom. So far the classroom was empty, which was good. Taking a seat near the back of the room, he set his bag onto the tiled floor. Grabbing his phone, he slouched back in his seat and merely stared at the blank screen.

Hunter had only been in Beacon Hills for about a month or so. It was enough time for him to make a friend or two, but obviously he didn't or he would be texting a friend rather than checking messages from his family members. As more people began to fill the room, he quickly put his cellphone away.

Grabbing a few things out; such as his notebook, a pencil and the required textbook for the class, he rested his chin in his hand and sighed. He just hoped that they weren't going to be doing a group project of some sort.

Hearing somebody speak, Hunter ignored it for about a minute. He was use to people speaking through to the person right next to him. At first it annoyed him greatly. Why not just sit next to the person you wanted to speak to in the first place? But over time, he began to ignore it. After a minute or two of pure silence, he paused. Was somebody actually speaking to him? It was such a foreign concept to him, he had no idea how to react.

Turning to face the person sitting next to him, Hunter gave him an awkward smile and wave. He hadn't really remembered anybody's name in the class, only the teacher's name really. Looking around to make sure that the guy was actually speaking to him and not somebody merely around Hunter, his smile grew a little wider. "Hey"

He was going to crawl into a hole, it was official. Xavier was ignoring him. Maybe he should have said hi when Xavier had first moved to town? Lloyd was about to turn back forward when Xavier looked at him and he froze. Oh God, he was smiling at him and his smile was beautiful. For a moment, his brain turned to mush and he could only stare. He quickly shook himself out of it.

"Hi," he said and then winced, "I already said that, sorry." Great, he was already making a fool of himself. He gave a small wave, one where he just moved his fingers and not his whole hand.

"I'm Lloyd," he said as calmly as he could. He couldn't wait to go home and tell his familiar that he finally talked to Xavier. He couldn't help wondering if Xavier was just talking to him to be polite or if he actually wanted to talk to him. He knew he wanted to talk to Xavier. He'd wanted to for a while, but wanting to and actually getting the guts to do so were two different things entirely. Even if his logic told him that it shouldn't be hard or nerve-wracking at all to say a simple hi to Xavier, the rest of his body refused to listen.

Xavier was cute and hot and he loved the sound of his voice. He'd admired from afar, this being the first time he'd ever talked to him. And so far, he was only partially enjoying it. His stomach was full of butterflies and his mouth felt dry. He was surprised that he didn't turn to mush and slide out of his seat at Xavier's smile. And so far, he didn't think he was sounding smart.

"You're Xavier, right?" he spoke up again and then inwardly winced, "I mean I know you're Xavier and you know that's your name." He paused briefly, thinking over what he'd said. He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled nervously. "I'm sorry, I'm not making any sense. I can shut up if you want - not that I'm implying I think you're rude and would tell me to shut up, because I'm not implying that at all." He ran a hand across his face, hearing snickering from his basketball teammates. Why oh why did they have to be there to witness his humiliation? He lightly groaned in annoyance at himself. "I should probably shut up."

Listening to this rather cute boy ramble merely about his name, Xavier chuckled and nodded his head. "Yes. Xavier is my name. Well at least it's what my mother calls me about half of the time. The other half she gets me confused with my brother." he said and smiled. The boy talking to him was cute, he was happy that somebody had actually decided to talk to him.

Hearing continue to ramble on, Xavier couldn't help but to laugh or chuckle. It was too damn cute in his opinion! Shaking his head, he smiled. "No, you're fine." he said reassuringly to the boy. Now Xavier wasn't 100% on the boy's name. He had only remembered the names of his teachers by now.

"Your name is Lloyd, correct?" Xavier asked, hoping that he was correct. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of somebody he had just met and finally spoke to. He remembered that the boy had a rather old sounding name, well Xavier sounded more old than Lloyd did. He just knew that it was different and that he liked it.

Giving the boy a shy smile, Xavier leaned in forward so it would be easier to talk to him. They had some time before class started. And it wasn't like everybody didn't talk during class. He was pretty sure that not everyone paid attention anyways. "To be honest, I am actually surprised that you're talking to me."

Lloyd hadn't known Xavier had a brother - though now that he thought about it, that explained why he'd see Xavier in one outfit during class and then in a completely different one later in the day when he passed him in the hallway. He made a mental note to try harder not to get Xavier and his twin mixed up. He'd always wondered what it was like, having a sibling. He was an only child, but he assumed it was similar to his relationship with his familiar. They were the best of friends. They'd occasionally bicker, but that had mostly been before he'd started going to Beacon Hills' high school, back when he'd been bullied. And all they'd argued about was whether or not he should let the familiar kick the bullies' asses. He'd wanted to allow him to, but he'd refused. And then they'd argued about whether he should continue hexing those guys. His familiar hadn't thought so; it'd apparently been a "big risk" with witch hunters.

"I like your name," he blurted out, then he realized that wasn't something guys usually said to each other. At least he didn't think it was something guys usually said. It sounded like something a girlfriend would say to her boyfriend - or at least something girls would say to each other because society was okay with them saying something like that, but not a guy saying it to another guy. He could feel his face heat up and the fact that he knew he was blushing, knew it was showing, embarrassed him even more and increased the amount of blush on his face.

Though Xavier hadn't asked him to shut up, he felt like if his foot hadn't been in his mouth then, it was certainly there now. He didn't know where to look so he tried to casually glance away, hoping his blush wasn't as obvious as it felt. He looked back at Xavier when he heard him ask about his name. Hadn't he introduced himself already? He mentally cursed, figuring he'd mumbled it without realizing. But the fact that Xavier already knew his name caused a smile to spread onto his face.

"Yeah that's my name," he replied. He could feel his teammates watching them and he really hoped Xavier wouldn't notice. He didn't think his teammates - were they friends? - had a problem with him being gay, but whether they did or not, he had a strong feeling they'd be teasing him during practice after this. They teased the other guys when they were around their girlfriends. He doubted he'd be safe from the teasing just because he didn't have a girlfriend.

He looked at Xavier, confused. "Why wouldn't I talk to you?" Right after he asked that, he remembered that he, in fact, had never had the guts to talk to Xavier before this day. It wasn't as bad as if he'd known him for years and never talked to him, but he still felt utterly guilty. He felt a strong need to apologize, but he wasn't sure if that would do any good. He wished his familiar was with him; he thought he'd be a good wing-man to have. His familiar had wanted to go to school with him, but Lloyd's father had wanted to ease him into school if he did go. Considering his father wasn't a witch and both Lloyd and his familiar weren't the most knowledgeable magical pair, he was always concerned about witch hunters.

"Oh well I can talk to you more if you want," he suggested - rather lamely in his opinion. "We uh could hang out if you want to?" Was he trying to subtly ask him out? He wasn't even sure himself. Two guys could hang out without one possibly grossing the other out... right?

Xavier nodded his head, happy to hear that he had remembered a name correctly. Once he stopped nodding his head, something caught his attention. A small group of people sort of snickering, smiling and looking over at himself & at Lloyd. Did Xavier know them? Not one bit. Did Lloyd? He had no idea. Rubbing the back of his neck, he tried to ignore it but now it was just driving him crazy. Like not being able to scratch a bug bite. "Uh quick question" Xavier said softly so the group of people didn't hear him. "Do you know those people?" he asked and pointed at them.

Listening to Lloyd's question, Xavier shrugged his shoulders some. "Well not everybody talks to the new kid." he said, assuming that Lloyd would have been one of those people. He was happy that he was wrong.

Listening to Lloyd's idea of hanging out, Xavier quickly nodded his head. "yeah sure!" he said with a smile on his face. Now he was actually going to have a friend other than his twin for once, it felt so good & nice. "You can come over to my house?" he suggested, well asked more than suggesting. "By car, I only live like five minutes away or so. And I don't have a car, so if you don't mind walking, we could walk to my house." he said, ignoring the fact that he came from a family of witch hunters & had a room dedicated to witch killing & torturing.

Lloyd was going to kill his teammates - or at the very least hex them so they got terrible acne for a week. They were embarrassing him, just by watching. Didn't they have hearts? How would they have felt if he'd embarrassed them while they talked to some cute girls? They'd bitch about it for weeks. He was being the mature one by far.

"They're my teammates," he replied, gesturing to the team shirt he wore. "From the basketball team." He shot a look over his shoulder, hoping it would make them shut up. It didn't. They could have been embarrassing him more, so he counted himself somewhat lucky. At least they remained where they were, rather than walking over and interrupting his conversation with Xavier.

"That's dumb," he commented, "You can never know why someone's been put in your life if you don't ever say hi or get to know them." He thought that everyone was put in someone's life for a reason. They would either be a blessing or a lesson. He hoped Xavier would be the first. In a perfect world, he'd have the guts to ask Xavier out then and there and not be afraid of rejection. But the world wasn't perfect, and he wasn't even close to being that brave. Rejection was something he was terrible at handling and thus he hated it and feared it.

He was surprised when Xavier agreed to hang out - it'd been a while since he'd made a new friend. But what surprised him more was that he was already being invited to Xavier's house. He'd have to lie and tell his dad he was hanging out with someone else - perhaps that junior, Anna and her sophomore friend, Jacob. His dad wouldn't have liked him going to some guy he barely knew's house. He didn't think he had anything to worry about, though he found it odd that Xavier invited him to his house right off the bat instead of hanging out around town first. But what reason did he have to say no? There were witch hunters out there, yes, but he'd always been told they were heartless and cold, killing both good and bad witches. Xavier didn't seem heartless and cold.

"Sounds like a plan," he replied with a smile. He wished he could say it sounded like a date, but on the chance that Xavier didn't swing his way, he didn't want to ruin their possible friendship by making some joke like that. "Whatever day is fine for me. I don't really have a social life, aside from basketball practice on Wednesdays after school and games on Fridays." His father was manager where he worked, so he could easily make up any work he missed so he could hang out with Xavier.

Xavier nodded his head as he listened to Lloyd. "Ah, well then that makes sense then" he said with a smile on his face. "Well not everybody is like you, so nice to the new kid. I have been to so many schools, I have lost count" Xavier replied back. But now that he was officially eighteen, and actually enjoyed being in Beacon Hills, he was of legal age to move out of his house if he ever had to.

Hearing that he had game days on Fridays, Xavier smiled. Friday sounded perfect. Because it was the start of the weekend and if they ever went to his house, his father did a lot of late night patrolling on Friday nights. So they would only have to deal with his mother. "Cool" he said, a smile still on his face. "How about Friday then? We can get some pizza after the game and work on homework?" he suggested, hoping that Lloyd would say 'yes'.

Xavier was bisexual, but with moving around so much because of the family profession, it made dating very difficult for the young teen. So most of the time he never even bothered trying to find a date for the weekend, school dance, party of the year, etc etc.

"And plus I have never been to a school basket ball game" Xavier commented, awaiting to see Lloyd's reaction. It was something he did at every school to see their reaction. It was his little game that he did enjoy. "So I can cross that off my high school bucket list before graduating." he added. "So what usually happens at these games?"

what time is it where you are?

i miss you more than anything

Lloyd wanted to ask why Xavier moved so much, but he didn't think it was any of his business and didn't want to seem nosy.

"Well those people are at a loss, then," he commented, "You seem pretty awesome and sucks for them not to see that." He heard snickering behind him and resisted the urge to send a sharp glare at his teammates. They were laughing at his failed attempts to flirt, and he was somewhat trying to flirt.

Lloyd had to remind himself that this was probably not a date. He doubted Xavier even thought the witch was possibly gay. Still, he could dream that one day either he'd get the courage to ask Xavier out on a date or Xavier would ask him. He was allowed to dream and ramble on and on about it to his familiar, probably boring him.

"Friday sounds good," he replied, leaving out the fact that he'd most likely be exhausted after the game. He wanted to hang out with Lloyd and could push through exhaustion if need be.

Eat pizza and work on homework? Yeah that definitely didn't sound like a date. It sounded like things friends or study-buddies did. He could live with being friends, after all not every guy was into guys. And even if Xavier liked guys, that didn't mean he'd like him. He vaguely wondered what they'd do if their teacher didn't assign homework on Friday.

Lloyd would have been surprised that Xavier hadn't ever been to a school basketball game but one, he knew not everyone was into sports - like his familiar - and two, Xavier was new in town.

"Well we usually win," he replied with a grin, "I mean we don't win every game, but we have a great team. I play offense. I usually score a few points." He was bragging a little, but he couldn't help it. Basketball was a passion of his and he was good at it. He couldn't brag about his witchcraft, so he had to brag a little about something.

filling up on endless insights

from other people's ugly insides

"Why thank you" Xavier said with a smile on his face. "I try my best, sometimes" he joked. So they won a lot of game it seemed. "Cool, so this school is like one of the best when it comes to basket ball I guess." he said, hoping he was somewhat right. So far he really liked this guy. More than just friends. He had a crush on him. Did he ever admit it to anybody? No.

Xavier nodded his head, acting as if he understood what Lloyd was remotely talking about. He did not understand sports to save his life. Whenever he didn't understand a subject, all he would do was smile & nod his head. And it worked. "Look I am not going to lie to you. I do not understand sports at all." he said with a small laugh. "The only sport I was even remotely good at was badminton. And that was because I didn't have to run around everywhere." he told him. He didn't want their relationship to be based off of lies after all. Now did this mean he would come clean about him & his family? Eventually. Possibly. But that would be for another time. He didn't want to scare Lloyd after all.
