Bruce sat boredly in Ms.Rohr's, messaging (annoying) Amy, like he did every morning.
That was when a familiar brunette came in, taking his usual seat beside Bruce. "Hey, Bruce." Finney smiled. "Hey, Finn." Bruce said, eyes never leaving his phone. "Who you messaging?" Finney whispered, leaning a bit closer to be able to see the other boys screen.
Bruce laughed, "My sister."

Bruce and Finney both laughed at the sibling's conversation. "My sister and yours would get along great." Finney said, grinning.
Just as Bruce opened his mouth to respond, Ms.Rohr walked in, "Okay, students. Get your notes out from yesterday and -"

"God, Robin missed out." Finney giggled as he took his safety glasses off.
The class was doing a lab experiment today, where they all technically got to make their own smoke bombs. Depending on what chemicals you used, your smoke bomb would be different colors. Bruce's and Finney's was red.
Bruce took his safety glasses off as well, sitting them on the table beside Finney's for the teacher to collect. "Hey, Finney. I, uh.. have a question." He muttered.
Finney nodded, "Go ahead." Bruce paused. Was this too personal? I mean, really, it wasn't any of his business, but he was dying to know..."Are you and Robin dating?" He asked, making sure to whisper the last bit.
He watched as Finney's entire body tensed up, and quickly knew the answer to his question. "Y-..I mean...n..I um..." he muttered, tripping over his own tongue nervously.
Bruce found himself laughing, "Calm down, man. It's alright. I was just wanting to make sure." He said quietly, watching as Finney's expression shifted from one of nervousness to another of pure terror. "Make sure? You mean..." "Yeahh, you two do make it pretty obvious." Bruce chuckled.
Immediately, Finney groaned, covering his face with his hands. "I told him somebody would find out." Finney muttered with a sigh. "But somehow..." He continued, slowly looking back at Bruce, "I'm sort of relieved it's you." He muttered, looking back away.
Bruce smiled. This is wrong. He thought to himself. He should be disgusted. I mean, liking someone of the same sex it- it just isn't normal. But...why wasn't he? For some reason, he felt kind of..happy that the two were together.
He quickly shook the thought off altogether. After all, it wasn't his life. And Finney and Robin certainly weren't hurting anybody by being together.

Finney sat silently in his desk, only partially listening to Bruce yap about baseball. I fucked up big time. He thought to himself, fidgeting with his rocket pencil, which he always did when he was nervous.

Flashback!!
That was when he noticed a familiar blonde entering the school. Then it clicked. Perfect.
"Hey, Bill. You and Griffin are friends right?" He asked, looking back at the paperboy.
Slowly, Billy nodded. "Okay. Vance is Griffin's brother, right?" Again, Billy slowly nodded, "Yeah, but what are you getting at Finney?" He asked curiously. "Give me Griffin's phone number real quick." Billy opened his mouth to argue, but quickly found he had no reason to. Finney was a bully victim himself, so surely he didn't want to bring any harm to Griffin.
So, he gave him the boys phone number, and Finney raced off.

Flashback end!!
Finney nearly jumped out of his skin when the bell rang, dismissing them from first period. "Dude, chill." Bruce laughed. "I'm not gonna bite or anything. I told you, it's alright with me." Bruce said reassuringly.
Finney let out a nervous bit of laughter, nodding, "Right." Oh, I'm so fucked.
