huh, I guess he's not that bad

Moment

Dan's Pov

Time flew by, and it was about closing time. Dan was soon found in the lobby drawing. They got in Wynton's mom's car blah blah they took Dan home blah blah blah

Once Dan got home, he pulled out his sketchbook and started drawing a certain somebody that he had seen today.

Wynton was right, going to that art gallery did give him inspiration. Maybe it was the paintings that he had seen today, or if it was Magnus, he just had the urge to draw.

The clock next to him told him that the time was 7:43. Which meant his parents wouldn't be home soon, they were out on a date and would be back at 10:30

He started to draw somebody that totally wasn't Magnus. He first started out with a lean but muscular figure. His hair was a sort of raven color, and his hair was also long, but not really long, maybe shoulder length? He then started to draw and color the eyes. They were a sort of dark pinkish-red color with a mixture of- yep he was drawing Magnus.

Now that Dan thinks about it, did he have Magnus' number? Maybe he should've asked for it.

Or, maybe should have asked for his social Media, he wouldn't have given it to him though.

Maybe he could ask Emily for his number? When was the last time he saw Emily, was it at school?

His mind went to the wonderland of questions as he continued to draw. His drawing a mixture of the paintings he had seen today, and of Magnus.

Who were those people anyway? Magnus did say they were school friends, since when did Magnus go to school?

Does he have other friends aside from them?

How long had they been friends?

What else does he not know about Magnus?

Why does he care so much?

Sure, when they first met, he was worried for him
His sister was sick, and everything that he did was for Emily. But now? He has no reason to care.

So, why does he care so much?

Doesn't matter. Maybe all he needs is some sleep. In the morning, when he wakes up, he will have nothing to worry about.

♤♡◇♧

The next morning was a Saturday morning.

Dan had woken up at 9:27 and left the house at 10:19.

Which was a great thing, because that meant that he could hang out with the AO, and bakugan brawl for the whole day.

And maybe he could ask Ajit for Magnus's phone number...

Wait, no. Today is not about Magnus. No thoughts about Magnus today.

Today is going to be a day free of the ravenette hair boy.

He pulled his phone out and texted the GC that had only been recently made

Saturday 10:20 AM

Dan: Do you guys want to hang out at the park?

Wynton: Sure what time?

Dan: 10:45?

Shun: I will be there!

Lia: Sure Dan

Ajit: Sure!

Athena: 👍

Saturday 10:26

Dan was never one to be early. He was mostly always late. But, today, he had been there at the park 15 minutes early.

He sat down on one of the park benches and played pokemon go on his phone until the others arrived

"Yo, Dan!" Dan heard a familiar voice call his name after a few minutes of waiting

"Hey Ajit! You're here early" The red-streaked hair boy said

"So are you," Ajit said as he sat down on the same bench, "Plus, I was nearby when you texted the GC"

"You were?"

"Yeah, I was with Magnus, just down the block. But then he had to leave, and then you texted"

Magnus.

Why was he everywhere?

"Speaking of Magnus, you have his number, right?

"Right"

"Can I have it?" Why was he asking? Dan said that this should be a Magnus free day, so why was he asking about Magnus?

"Sure! Let me write it down for you!" Ajit said as he pulled a piece of paper and pen out of nowhere. Why does he have that?

While in the middle of Ajit writing Magnus's number, the other four arrived.

Alongside Aay, Riot, Kurin,

And Magnus.

Great. Here's to a Magnus free day!

"What's happening? Why are they here?" Dan asked the group of newcomers.

"We met them on the way here, and they followed us after saying we were meeting at the park" Shun explained.

Ajit finished writing Magnus's number down on the sheet of paper and passed it over to Dan before looking up

"Hi Magnus," Ajit said as he waved to the tall boy, "nice to see you again"

Magnus Waved back just a tad bit before putting his hands back into his pockets.

Magnus's eyes wandered away from Ajit and onto Dan who was looking back at him.

They held eye contact for a few seconds before Magnus looked away.

It was just eye contact that was held for only a few seconds, but it still caused the brunette boy's heart to pound.

Now that he thinks about it, he has never seen Magnus' eyes. He is always wearing a mask, or some type of eye cover.

The one eye he can see is beautiful though.

It's a dark pinkish-red with a mixture of purple. Like a velvet wine.

Dan had never seen more beautiful eyes.

Wait, what was he thinking about?

Was he just saying that Magnus's eyes were beautiful? What is wrong with him today?

The last 12 hours, all he had been thinking about was Magnus.

Not to mention he was also drawing him.

And now, he was saying that his eyes were beautiful.

Are you falling in love with him? Gods, he needs to snap out of it.
