Up on that rooftop

The name...

A while went by and I spend full nights hanging out with Blue. He tried to keep his mask off, but sometimes he showed up with it on. I understood he was still insecure, I mean, I'd be dead if I got such a scar.
I didn't mind the scar though, it actually kinda looked nice and quickly I wouldn't have it any other way.
Of course I fell asleep way to many times to count over these few days, and Blue did so too. School was still a thing, and I was falling behind with style.
My parents kept on arguing, but hey, I wasn't there to hear it.

One morning, 4 AM to be exact, Blue had to leave.
"Wait!" I called out and wiped my tired eyes, "I wanna see your apartment or house sometime." I walked towards him, letting my sleepy legs be wobbly.

"Cherry..." Blue said in a hearty voice, "How about you get some sleep first." He reached up his hand and put in on my head.
Ignoring his hand I just put my head on his chest and mumbled something he couldn't hear.

Realising how muffled my mumbling was I spoke up, "Sleep is unnecessary, just accept it and be better off."

Blue laughed, his chest moving, "If you go to sleep I'll tell you my name, but I can't really show you my place..."

My tired brain took a moment to process the words before I looked up, still leaning against Blue, "Why can't you?" I asked.

"Ehr—" Blue looked away, "It's..." He looked for words, before he just sighed and put his face close to mine, "You make it very hard to lie, you know that?"

"Rude of you to try." I playfully glared before touching my nose to his, "How about you tell me the truth?"

"Well... maybe later." Blue gave me a gentle smile.

"Aww...." I whispered in disappointment, giving him what's supposed to be puppy eyes. "You promise?" I asked.

Blue just gave me a kiss before he left.

And then I was alone.
Sitting down with a sigh I stopped myself from thinking about homework.
...I could draw something...

It was safe to say that I got lectured by Amber the next morning.
When I got home that day, something else happened. My dad called me off of the rooftop, me and Blue jumping away from each other, embarrassed by the moment. Fortunately my dad was to distracted to notice anything.

Following my father down the stairs he mumbled something to himself.
Of course he had to ask, "Who's that guy you keep seeing?"

"I dunno, what're you and mom arguing about?" I shot back sassily.

"Please..." My dad looked back with a stern but tired glare, "Please, don't give me that attitude..." He sounded actually kinda done.

"Sorry." I suppressed a laugh, "What did you call me down for?"
Dad opened the apartment door gesturing for me to get inside.
We sat down on the couch and my dad just broke the news.

"Your mom and I have decided the divorce." My dad told me, "I'm getting a new apartment, one closer to your school. I got a new job, so now my income is more reliable... I'm going to try and have you study art, I will try and pay that for you. Your mother will keep this apartment, but we thought it better to have you with me on the weekdays and your mother on the weekends, because she'll be more busy from now on—"

"Don't I get a say in it?" I interrupted his dialogue. "I mean I'm fine with it, but it's kinda decided for me..."

"You will, you'll have to confirm it all later and maybe make slight changes, and you can make your own decision, but your mother and I have decided this much." My father reassured me, "Lastly, I suppose we can move in next week already. Let me and your mother do the hard stuff, I heard your grades are dropping, so." He sighed and leaned back, "So... get that nerd friend to help you sometime, I know it's hard to deal with this." My father apologised.

"Oh, you mean Amber?" I raised an eyebrow, "She's kinda got a name."

"Yeah, and stop seeing that guy, he seems sketchy." My father went on with a concerned frown.

"He's my boyfriend." I dropped the bomb and my dad's eyes widened. "I can leave him, but it'll be kinda awkward, if you know what I mean." A grin appeared as my dad tried to process the info. Of course I wasn't going to dump Blue just because my dad knows.

"...just don't go with him to shady places...?" My dad tried his best to be ok with it.

"Cool." I finally smiled, "Is there something I can do to help you? I mean, you're kinda getting a divorce and all..."

My dad gave me a smile in turn, "Just keep on having fun, I suppose, maybe when we move in you can make some paintings to make the place look nicer."

"Agreed." I said in a business like tone, "When can we see it?" I asked.

"I could take you tomorrow, but... I suppose it'll get late, I gotta work first."

"I don't sleep a lot anyway." I shrugged and got up, "I'll see you later I suppose—"

"At least go study with that kid." My dad interrupted me, "I need you to ace your next exams."

A long sigh escaped me, "Come on..." Why was it the better choice?
I went to my room and just grabbed my books. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to go up and to study?

When I finally went up, Blue was still there.
"How'd it go?"

"I was told to go study." I gave him a grimace, "And my dad's got an apartment soon, we're moving in there while mom stays here... I get to go here in the weekends, but I don't even know if I want to agree on that."

Blue just casually shrugged, "It's your choice, isn't it?"

"Well..." I went to sit next to him, "How about you just help me with math."
Realising last evening, I added, "And tell me your name!"

"...you didn't sleep, did you?" Blue gave me what was supposed to be a stern look, but his lips quirked up in a smile. "We had a deal."

"Come on..." I turned to my homework with a sigh, making Blue laugh.

It's safe to say, eventually I figured out his name.
It only took him his third night without sleeping.

"Blue, what's your name?" I asked casually as he nodded off.

"Scott..." He mumbled sleepily before his eyes closed and he was asleep.

Giggling I grabbed my sketchbook. I was so good at tricking him.
Unfortunately I couldn't start teasing him right away, I had to see the apartment the next day.
I didn't know if I was looking forwards to it yet...

(A/n)

I didn't know what to name our Blue. In my head he'll always be Blue, but I had to give him a real name.
Now he's named Scott, cause that's the first name I thought might not be idiot. So I don't know... lol I guess?
Anyway, if you're named Scott as well; Hi Scott!
Comment here suggestions for names so maybe in the future this comment section will help me or anyone else with names.

Have a great day/night,
