His Brother's Best Friend. (BxB PenBlade1326 x Harbinger)

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden kept his eyes on the page of his textbook as Andrew took it away. He sighed softly when the book was out of reach. He merely glanced upon Andrew, wondering why he'd want to talk to him...he was a nothing, a nobody...a nerd. "I don't think it's your place to judge whether or not I'm in someone's shadow...or judge me for studying constantly." He defended. He didn't use a rude tone, more like a 'I-know-what-I'm-talking-about' tone. Which he did. "I don't know why you think I'm worth helping or talking to, maybe it's the alcohol." Hayden said, almost cracking a smile...he never smiled. 
(I think Hayden's a taaaaad bit of a...well, depressed person with no inner ambition. lol)

 

[Harbinger]

"It may be the alcohol but it has to at least good talking to someone for the first time in a while. True, I haven't been in someones shadow but I've had to deal with my own problems. I'm not saying that they are worse than yours but I try to not let those things stop me. I try to think the best for my self and not to feel bad for my self, you can do anything if you just think positive about what you want to do and go for it. Look at me, I got a major tryout and I do the best for my self. Look at your idiot brother and his "friends" down there, they don't care what they do with their lives and want to ruin it for one party. Thanks for letting me stay in here while I let my headache heal." Andrew felt good after talking with Hayden and gave him a friendly smile before leaving to go for a walk to think about his future.

(Long one xD )


Hayden didn't really respond to Andrew, letting him leave the room. "Idiot brother? Do best friends call each other 'idiot'?" he asked himself, never having a friend in his life, so he really wasn't familiar with the concept of friendship...companionship...etc. After Andrew left, Hayden reclaimed the book and continued to study as usual. Half an hour passed before the party started to die down a bit, it was about 9:30 now. It was dark, cold and quiet outside. Hayden finally stopped studying and gathered his things and placed them in his backpack. Since most of the party goers have either passed out or gone home, he decided to finally leave his room. He walked downstairs to find a few people in the living room, sleeping in a massive crowd of people. He sighed and saw Jacob in the recliner, passed out with a bottle in hand. He sighed again as the party goers slept quietly and peacefully in the living room. he walked out to the back porch where he'd get some fresh air, alone, since no one was awake, aside from Andrew wherever he was, nobody would notice the lonely boy outside on the back steps.

 

[Harbinger]

Andrew returned back to the house a few hours later to see the house in ruins and trash everywhere. He decided to clean the entire house to keep everything neat and orderly like his room and bag. After filling 4 bags of garbage, he brought them out and wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw Hayden out of the room sitting on the step. Walking over and sitting next to him he looked up at the night sky and was awe struck by the constellations out at the moment. "Nice to see you out of the room and out here. Maybe it was a good thing that you didn't join the party, hell even I didn't want to be part of it. It's a very nice night out, I love to just look at the stars while thinking of nothing and just looking into the depths of space.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden simply nodded in response to Andrew. Hayden didn't clean up inside...simply because he planned to in the morning. He himself enjoyed stargazing...losing himself in though of the depths of space. "I like this, too...it's so easy just to--Leo!" He called out, excited, pointing to the constellations, Leo being the one he saw. He called it out like it excited him only for a brief moment, a hint of joy in his voice..something people never heard in him. And still...he didn't smile. Perhaps a grin...but not a smile. "It's...just easy to lose yourself in the stars, I guess...I come out here every night before I go to bed...clears my head after all the studying." He said, eyes still focused on the stars. 
(I'm amazed, I'm at school and having luck responding xDD)

 

[Harbinger]

"I do the same after a big practice or game. There is sagitarius right there, it's a little bit to the right of Leo." He points up to show him where it is and makes a faint outline of it woth his fingers. He was shocked to see that Hayden had an interest in something else but school and felt like he was helping him now. "The stars and univerese is an amazing place, well if you need me I'll be inside making something to eat. The spiked drink made me really hungry for some reason." Drew left hayden to his own devices and went inside to the newly cleaned house and kitchen.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden followed Andrew inside. Not really sure why...though it did seem like he had finally found someone to hold a conversation with for more than a nanosecond. He walked into the kitchen. "If you're hungry, I think there's some pizza in the fridge you could warm up, and there's some plates with meals on them in the fridge to heat up...I stayed up with mom last night making them since she was still packing." He offered kindly. If Jacob were conscious, he'd offer Andrew something to eat...though it seems as though intoxication and being passed out stopped him. Hayden rummaged through the fridge, feeling a tad hungry himself. "Whattaya in the mood for?" He asked Andrew quietly.

 

[Harbinger]

"I'm fine for anything, cleaning this house has made me hungry as can be. How do you even stand living woth you're brother when he's an idiot. All he does is skip class and hangs out with dumbasses. No wonder why you're never around him, he is untrust worthy and a liar. He sais there would be no alcoghol here or a lot of people. Sorry about saying that but It's the truth." Andrew threw an empty bottle against the wall nad picked it up after it broke into pieces.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden flinched slightly at the bottle breaking. "Didn't know you had...such negative thoughts on Jacob. Best friends, huh?" He said quietly and sarcastically. He popped a couple of slices of cold pizza in the microwave oven and heated them up, sitting them both on the counter, sliding one to Andrew.

 

[Harbinger]

"I thought we were friends but he has lied to me many times and had many promises that ended up bad. I think I have a right to be mad." I'm going to punch him when he wakes up for lying to me forthe final time." Drew calmed down and began to eat.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"As his younger brother, I give you full permission. Whether you want it or not." Hayden said, as all little brothers would...boys will be boys, eh? He began to eat, on the opposite side of the kitchen from Andrew, keeping his distance as he would anyone else. He was still quiet...not awkward but quiet.

 

[Harbinger]

"Thank you for letting me do that Hayden, I have another favor to ask you. Would it be okay to sleep on your floor tonight?. There is some people in my room and all the other rooms are occupied. It's alright if you say no but I'm just asking." Andrew finished eating and washed his dish before punching Jacob in the gut while he was asleep.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden sighed. He never let people in his room...why...he didn't know. He sighed and shrugged. "I guess it'd be alright...as long as you don't sleep naked or talk in your sleep, you're welcome in my floor." He said, humorously. He let out a small chuckle and washed his dish as well. He proceeded up the stairs with Andrew, letting him in his room. "Make yourself comfortable, I think I'll take a shower before bed." He said, leaving Andrew in the room, alone. The room was like a library...mixed with an office. No pictures of friends, family, no posters, no fun decorations...just...a workplace. 
(@Harbinger btw...again, love Tali as your picture xD )

 

[Harbinger]

"I'll follow your order's sir. Just don't take to long, I need to take one as well." Andrew proceded to make a small maskeshift bed with a small pilliow and blanket. Afterwards he started looking at the dozens of books that were on the wall and picked a decent one that he saw was interesting. Getting lost in the book he decided to stay up the rest of the night and read but not before annoying Hayden in the shower. "Jusr wanted to say it was good to have a decent conversation with someone other than a dumb girl only caring about how prettu she looks."

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden heard Andrew while he was in the shower. Hayden was almost finished when he heard him. "Likewise." He replied. He didn't really care what Andrew did, so long as Hayden would get some sleep...nothing planned tomorrow, but he still preferred sleep. After he stepped out of the shower, he dried off as usual and walked into his room, forgetting Andrew was in there and as he walked in, he half-dropped the towel before picking it up and wrapping it around his waist. He was no athlete...but he had a regular. nice build to him. "S-s-sorry." he said, instantly exiting the room and closing the door. Embarrassed and wigged out. He stayed in the hall, glancing around..no one was around. "Uh...mind passing some clothes out here? Please?" He said through the door, cheeks still red.

 

[Harbinger]

Andrew looked at Hayden's body when the towell fell and liked what he saw for a strange reason. He went over to the door and opened it letting Hayden into his own room. "You don't have to be nervous, I've been around almost naked men before. Here you're clothes and you have a nice body, don't be afraid to show that off. It might even give you some confidence and some more self esteem." Andrew returned to his book but sneaked a few loks over the book to Hayden whenver he wasn't looking.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden sighed slightly. He walked in his room, keeping his back turned to Andrew as he changed. He slipped on a tank top and a pear or pants to sleep in. His hair was still a tad messy from the shower, so he shook his head a minute and fixed it with his fingers. He was extremely flattered by Andrew's comment on his 'nice body'. He almost blushed. He finished changing and tossed the towel aside in the hamper in his bedroom. he then turned around to Andrew. "I saved some hot water in case you want a shower. You did say you were going to take one, right?" He asked quietly. He found it somewhat provocative that he changed in front of Andrew...a boy...a...nice-looking one. (If I even used provocative correctly xD I should have googled lol)

 

[Harbinger]

"Thank you, I'll be back in a few minutes." Andrew left to go take a shower, he slowly sneaked into his room to get some of the clothes that were in his bags. When he got out of the shower he returned in a plain white t-shirt and some plain pajama pants. His arms were exposed and were built due to him playing sports and working out mostly every day all year. "I hope you have a good night Hayden, I'll be up most of the night anyways, so if you need to ask a question or anything. Just let me know okay?" Andrew returned to his floor and started to read the book again.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Ask a question? What would I ask, does he have any floor allergies? Hayden thought to himself. "Night." He said. He sat on his bed, extending his arms for a stretch. He then pulled out a notebook from under his pillow. He opened it and began to write in it. He was making a schedule for tomorrow, as according to his nightly tradition. All he was scheduling for himself was "cleaning, more studying, reading, complete his Anatomy project, and remember to make sure Jacob didn't kill himself by jumping out in traffic drunk. Only 16 years old, yet a boring, non-exciting life...a stressful one. And he put it on himself. He finished the schedule and put the notebook back under the neatly-tucked pillow. He lay down on the pillow, no covers, for it was kind of warm in there so he didn't need them. (Actually it was kind of cold, but he thought it was warm enough.) He rarely used his sheets at all. Didn't wanna mess them up...no apparent reason. He shifted onto his side, facing Andrew's direction and closing his brown eyes, finally looking at peace...not rushing himself or worrying. Just resting. He pretended being asleep, not very tired. So he lied there...breathing slowly and resting his eyes. He found himself tempted to get a peak at Andrew...weird. 
(again, I'm actually amazed that I'm able to post in school xDD)

 

[Harbinger]

Andrew began to close his eyes and try to get to sleep but he couldn't due to the thinking he has been doing all day. he was thinking what he would do if he didn't do well in the try out, he was not good at school and was lucky to get a D in his classes but they let him off due to how good he is at sports and how many titles and trophies he has brought to the school. For some weird reason though all he started to think about since he went to sleep is how he feels a weird bond to Hayden about how they both have problems and he is trying to help Hayden with his while working on his own. A little while after he stopped trying to fall asleep, he kept staring at Hayden and thought he looked kind of handsome for some weird reason.

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden had actually fallen asleep with no intention. He breathed slowly in his sleep, unaware the boy in the floor was looking at him. He tossed and turned slightly, shifting in his position. He managed to sleep for about 45 or so minutes, until he clumsily rolled out of bed in his sleep, landing on the floor right beside Andrew, only missing him by an inch. Hayden caused a small thump as he hit the floor and landed an inch away from the athlete. He seemed unaffected as he landed on the ground. A few moments later, his eyes gradually opened, his eyelids flew open after a moment. He moved his arm, brushing against Andrew's gently. He then noticed that Andrew was awake...and staring at him. "Sorry about that...uh...why are you staring at me?" He asked softly and shyly.

 

[Harbinger]

"No reason, just been thinking about things for a little bit. You okay, that was a pretty high fall." Andrew laughed a litle bit and sat up to help hayden up. "I don't believe that happens ften If I'm correct." He had been thinking about helping Hayden for a little bit after he flell asleep and was thinking that he sort of had a thing for Hayden but idn't want to tell him. "So-Sorry for staring at you for a long time, I was thinking abouit something and I lost trck of wha tI was looking at," He blushed a little bit and turned his face so Hayden wouldn't see /

 

[PenBlade1326]

Hayden tilted his head and raised a curious brow at Andrew after he was on his feet. "Long time? Just how long were you staring?" He asked quietly. Hayden's hair was a little messy from the fall and sleep, but what did it matter? Out the corner of his eye, he noticed something, what appeared to be lint...or some kind of fuzz ball, a massive one, in Andrew's hair. He gestured to it. "Uh...ya got a little..." he said, fidgeting with Andrew as he tried to guide him. "Ya know what? I'll get it." He said, then gently plucking the lint from Andrew's hair, close to his face. As he brought his hand back down, his fingers accidentally and subtly brushed against Andrew's lower lip, Hayden didn't notice. He then sat back down on his bed, too awake to sleep now, his side ached a little.

 

[Harbinger]

"Thank you Hayden, I don't know how long I was staring for. Maybe an hour or so, I hope I didn't offend you for doing that. You okay from the fall, it looks like you hurt your self pretty good." Andrew could see Hayden grab at his side a little bit, he felt kinda of weird when he felt Hayden's hand run over his lower lip when he was getting the lint off of him. Andrew just forgot that and sat next to Hayden staring at the wall again for no reason.

 

[PenBlade1326]

"You didn't offend me." He replied. "And yeah, I'm okay. Just a tiny bruise, at best." He said softly. Hayden didn't complain...about anything...ever. He didn't notice Andrew sitting beside him at first, not until he saw him out the corner of his eye. Andrew was...kind of close to him. He began to wonder if the alcohol's effects had worn off on Andrew yet...it's been a few hours, so maybe. He half-hoped it was the booze that made him stare at him...and the other half of his hope...was that maybe Andrew could be...sort of attracted to him. He kind of hoped, at least. Hayden shrugged it off and sighed softly. 
(Playing hard to get in way...I think cx )
