"And then, there was this like explosion over the building and you couldn't see the chopper anymore, so-" Hunter keeps on his ramble about some random dream he apparently had, making sure to add a lot of unnecessary effects with his hands.
It's evening and Travis and Jason arrived home from school a few hours ago. They are now eating dinner and as usual, Hunter is the one to talk. Noah and Joshua are softly chatting by the end of the table, Simon is looking at his phone, Jimmy and Travis are being nice and listening to Hunter's story while Jason is just kind of sitting there, observing the others.
Not much has happened for him today. He told Joshua about the seizure Travis had and got praised for helping, even if he didn't really do anything.
Jason gently looks around at the different people, all of them being so mentally sick that their families didn't want to take responsibility for them anymore. With Jason's past, the chance of him ending up in such a place was pretty high too. Luckily, he has friends and a job to keep him going. So he wonders what happened to the others and why they ended up here.
Jason's eyes ever so softly moves to his right where he sees Travis from the corner. The boy is smiling very gently at Hunter who's still telling a story in his childish voice. Jason wonders why Travis has the energy to actually pay attention to that boy.
Nonetheless, it's a fascinating sight. It's not a 'real' smile, but it's still a nice fit on Travis's face. The boy normally goes around, looking like a total zombie. So a little glow, even if it isn't much, does a lot for his beauty.
"What?"
Jason almost falls out of his chair from the flinch that goes through him when Travis says that. Their eyes met and Jason was not ready for it. He cleares his throat and awkwardly looks forward.
"Nothing," he mumbles. He looks around and is thrilled to see that none of the other guys are paying attention to them.
Fuck. What are you doing Jason? So embarrassing.
Travis frowns and tilts his head a little, trying to get into Jason's vision. He has wondered why Jason keeps looking at him and they always get some weird, awkward eye contact. It's pretty strange.
Travis shrugs and turns back towards Hunter who's now speaking about aliens or something weird like that. Not that he minds though. Hunter has a smile on his face and somehow Travis feels a strong energy from the boy that he very much needs in his life.

Jason feels himself turning around on the bed, trying various different positions to try and lie better. He hasn't been able to sleep so far, even if it's probably past 3 am already. And it's even a school night.
He hates these days where it's just impossible to fall asleep. He grumbles and opens his eyes, staring up at the grey ceiling he has started to find rather familiar.
With a loud sigh and takes his phone that was charging on the window sill and opens it up. If he can't sleep, he might as well check out social media for a while.
It's 3:45 am, so maybe he should go for a run? He guesses that could make him tired and some fresh air does sound very tempting right now. After looking through instagram for a good while, it gets boring and he settles on his latest idea.
With a nice, long stretch he gets up from the bed and heads for his wardrobe. Maybe he should run 7 kilometers today? Since he has such good time?
