68. The Fair

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
THE FAIR

As usual, Aaron was stressed.

He wasn't supposed to be out with Kimmy for another two hours and he was already panicking.

The blond had almost caused himself a heart attack with all the stress he was putting on himself over the situation.

He was sat on the edge of his bed, trying not to lose his shit as he watched his brother throw his clothes all over his clean bedroom floor.

Aaron didn't know what to wear, what to do with his hair, how he was supposed to act. He didn't know anything.

Steve had told Aaron that he wasn't allowed to pick what he was wearing because he'd embarrass himself. The blond couldn't find it in him to be offended, genuinely worried about every little aspect about the night that was yet to come.

Eventually, Aaron was left with clothes thrown all over his room, only increasing in his stress. Steve had tried to help him out in what he was supposed to wear - insisting it wasn't a big deal.

Although he'd ended up not being able to help at all. The two never agreeing on one thing - only bickering.

Aaron groaned, moving from his bed to the floor as he went to clean up the mess of clothes on his floor. 

He'd ended up asking Steve - or well - shouting from his room to his brothers to ask if a navy polo shirt was appropriate to wear or not.

"Stop, Aaron! You're overthinking it!" Steve yelled back, clearly tired of his younger brothers antics.

"You're overthinking it." The blond mocked under his breath, placing all his clothes back where they were before and heading out of his room.

Aaron was extremely worried about the date he had later that day, much more worried than any other boy his age would be about going on a date with the girl he liked.

He just knew that he'd be a nervous wreck the entire time the two were out.

Heading to the bathroom, he picked up the cans of hair product that Steve used and looked to them curiously, not entirely sure what he was supposed to do with them.

He didn't want his hair to look like Steve's - not that extreme. Steves hair was much longer than Aaron's was, it wouldn't look the same.

Although with that said, he didn't want his hair to look like a mess like his it usually did. He wanted to look nice. The boy had tried to do so when they were supposed to go for their date the first time, however he hadn't done it right and it didn't end up working.

Scrunching his face up in confusion, he opened the hair gel in his hands and looked to it peculiarly.

"What the hell." The boy mumbled hesitantly, sighing before he gave in and tried to fix his hair.

After be had done his hair, he looked at his reflection with a puzzled look. He didn't look bad, but he also didn't look any different, he just looked more... put together.

He soon came to the realisation that he literally looked no different, he now just had his hair feeling unnecessarily sticky.

"Oh, my god." Aaron whispered in disgust as he reached a hand up to touch his hair, flinching back as he instantly reached forward to switch the tap on with his arm so he didn't have to dirty the sink.

The boy then thoroughly washed his hands and then got into the shower, washing his hair two times to make sure he got all the gel out of his hair.

If he wasn't stressed before he certainly was after his shower, now finding that he only had one hour until he had to leave.
