Peter was at his normal spot that he sits in after school, clicking his pen and waiting for his brother to stop greeting every single person that he knew just to feel important. Peter thinks that it's sad that his brother needs attention to fuel him to get throughout the school day. If someone were to pass Thomas in the hallways and not wave or say hi to him when they're on basic acquaintance terms, Thomas wouldn't hesitate to stop them in their tracks and make a fuss about it until they're nodding their head in agreement that they're friends out of either fear or pity.

Well, it is pitiful.

Once Thomas goes home, he doesn't talk much. But that isn't his fault, talking isn't needed back at home. You don't speak unless you're spoken to. And dare you mouth an opinion or even a fact when you're not ask to speak, you will have to pay for it.

Peter only had to learn his lesson once when he asked his dad if it was okay if he stayed after school to work on some homework with friends. It didn't take long for his dad to start screaming and accusing and cussing and throwing. Getting louder and louder and closer and closer until Peter couldn't show his left eye for about a week at school. After that day, Peter learned that if he needed something he just had to figure it out on his own, no matter how much he needed help.

Poor Thomas still hasn't learned his lesson.

He still says good morning and goodnight to his dad though he never gets anything back. He still asks how his day is going, even though he only gets menacing grunts as his answer. He offers to get his dad more cigarettes and more booze, and always does without his dad wondering how he managed to with no money and when he's underaged.

Thomas wants to be close to his dad more than anything. But Peter faced that it isn't ever going to happen. And he's done waiting for his dad to change.

Just like how Peter's done waiting for his brother to come outside before they miss the bus.

Peter huffs and starts to head into the school when he stops in his tracks at the sight of Cincere walking towards the student parking lot.

Seeing Sin always makes Peter feel uncomfortable. Maybe because he's so tall and constantly looking down at everyone. Or maybe cause he's gay and he shouldn't even be allowed to use the mens bathroom with other guys, cause how can he be trusted? Or maybe because nothing affects him. And everything to him is like water off of a ducks back.

Before Peter loses interest in watching a faggot walk to his car, he see's another person right on his heels.

Peter squints his eyes just to make sure he's seeing correctly, but he's pretty sure the guy walking with him is Leeon.

Peter watching as Leeon walks with Sin while anxiously looking around. Peter see's Sin mouth something to him, and Leeon nod. Then they get into Sins car. Leeon in the front seat.

A grin slowly starts to grow on Peters face.

He knew they were boyfriends. He knew it.

But he can't be the only one he gets to know something as funny as this. That wouldn't be any fun.

Peter goes inside to look for his brother, not caring if they miss the bus or not.

Everyone knowing about this is much more important.
