Bi-Curious (BoyxBoy)

🃏Chapter ## • Scout Jones🃏

Pre Chapter Note: Due to unforeseen emergency circumstances, Ari has not been able to write with me but I, Jex, don't feel comfortable leaving you guys without content again so I've gotten permission to solo write a bonus chapter of sorts, just giving some insight and backstory on a beloved character, Scout Jones. I know this probably isn't what you want to see, but I literally have no power over the circumstances so I hope you enjoy this filler anyways. I've wanted to write something for Scout for a while but I never thought it would fit into the main book so I'm gonna look at this as a golden opportunity. It'll be extra long too, because I have a lot to share and only one chance. Thank you all for your patience, your comments, and your support. -Jex

"Scout Jones"

Scout

Chirp chirp chirp

My eyes flutter open, the sounds of the birds waking up in turn waking me. Judging by the tones of the birds and the sunbeams invading my little room, I can already tell it's a good day today. Good weather, cool temperatures, and no signs of any incoming storms. While I do love storms, the animals do not, and I empathize with them just a little too much. Luckily, Vanir, my Black-Tailed Rattlesnake companion, also loves storms so at least I'm not alone.

I sit up, stretch, and start getting ready for the day. I roll up my sleeping bag and set it against the wall of my dilapidated room. A few vines have started making their way inside. It's really beautiful, watching nature retake what man had first taken. Charlie has offered several times to get me a job or a place to stay and Carmen has offered me her place indefinitely, but there's something about living out here in this abandoned house in the forest that brings me peace. It was my first sanctuary after all, after escaping...the woman who gave birth to me.

I shake away the thoughts of my origins and get dressed in a black hoodie and faded, ripped purple skinny jeans. My gages are in because I never take them out. I quickly put in the rest of my piercings, eyebrow, lip, septum, and all of the ones you can get for your ear. Ethan, Carmen, and Tony paid for them all along with my tattoos. I'm really grateful since that's not exactly something I could steal. Tony also paid for Carmen's nipple piercings back when she was still dating Ethan. We were all drunk when she got them and the deal was Ethan was supposed to get them as well but he passed out before we could make him. Tony always used to tease him about that...

Sighing, I grab my bag and head into Vanir's room where she's sleeping in her log. I'd brought up a ton of foliage for her, anything I could find so she'd like it up here. She seems very content.

I poke her head and stick my arm in her log. As she does every morning, she wraps herself around me so I can carry her downstairs. The stairwell is a few years away from becoming a parkour course, it's falling apart so much, but I get down without a problem.
