Kurin: yeah that's fine, telling him would be good too

Aay: sweet ok I'll tell him you're coming

Kurin: thanks. I'll be there in about ten minutes

irl.

So. Maybe Kurin had a secret.

Maybe for all that he seemed calm he was panicking on the inside.

Maybe as mockable as Aay was and as well, Magnus, as Magnus was, they were the only people he could trust with this right now.

And just maybe he wasn't as much of a he as Kurin had originally thought.

These thoughts had started a while ago, a mix of a stupid and chaotic day where their whole group of Magnus, Aay, Riot, Emily, Bee, Cee, Dee, E, Trey and Kurin had all gone to town...

It had involved a lot of annoyed sighing from Magnus about having to be there, a few arguments amongst the group and the exit knocked over a whole rail of clothes. That was when the thoughts had started actually, when everyone was picking them up.

The entire group was picking up the clothes that had fallen off the rail and were sorting everything back out when Kurin picked up a skirt, he'd looked at it for a minute until Riot elbowed him and asked "What are you doing? C'mon were supposed to be putting the things back on the rail."

"What? Oh, I just thought it looked cool."

"Who for?"

Kurin had paused then, he'd been thinking he wouldn't mind wearing it himself, but Riot asking the question made him think how, well... Aay or Magnus wouldn't wear a skirt... Or want to wear one.

"Well?" Riot had prompted then.

Kurin shrugged trying to pass it off casually, "No one, I just liked the pattern." Only half a lie, as he did think the pattern was nice.

Riot nodded, "I guess so." And turned away again. That was when Kurin had looked around to see if anyone had noticed the conversation and caught Magnus quickly looking away.

He didn't say anything at all, although both knew it was obvious Magnus had heard the conversation and noticed Kurin's lie.

Literally, human lie detector. Kurin's convinced Magnus will be some kind of detective in the future, then again, he technically already is.

Magnus never mentioned what he saw and Kurin's pretty sure Riot forgot all about it.. But for him it kept playing on his mind, whenever he was scrolling though Instagram or YouTube and he saw someone wearing an outfit and found himself thinking "Hey, I'd wear something like that." Before realising that it was not something any of his male friends would wear and instantly closing whatever app he saw it on, panicking for a few seconds, asking himself what the hell, then reopening YouTube to find some funny video or good music to take his mind off it.
