Fix The Mask

Free to breathe

"You know, I already know the first thing I'm going to buy with my money. A mini-fridge for all those Monsters I chug down," Craig said dreamily as people around him laughed.

It was Monday, 4 days past the clusterfuck of a night that meant freedom for Jonathan and wealth for Craig. Everyone else were super happy that their friends were finally free of their past and were able to look to the future with hopefulness.

Even Jonathan was smiling, not wearing a mask. Everybody basically swooned after one step he took into the halls this morning. But he kept reminding everyone that came up to talk to him that this was a one-day things and he'd turn back into the grumpy hockey-mask wearing twerp tomorrow, indulging in the disappointed "aww,"s that always occurred.

"Whoa, the fuck," Double blinked as he sat next to Jonathan and Bodil let out a giggle as he sat in front. Jonathan simply waved with a slight smirk and continued staring out the window. Craig and Lui, the only ones in class from their group, let out snickers.

"Jon!" someone called out his name, and that someone usually always made him blush. Today was no exception and he already regretted not wearing the mask. He turned towards the classroom open door to find Evan slightly smiling at him. "Get out here."

"Yes, mam," he stood up and basically ran to the boy he loved. A few giggles from the classroom were heard as the two walked away from it.

"What up?" Jonathan smiled, digging his hands into his hoodie pockets.

"I want to take you on a date."

Jonathan's eyes widened, "A wha? Wow....straightforward, um...okay?"

"There's a Friday the 13th showing in the old drive-in-theater. The 80's one. I don't know if it's the first one or any else but-"

"I would LOVE to go to that!" Jonathan grinned and Evan's eyes widened. 'So adorable' he cleared his throat. "Yeah, so I'll pick you up at 7."

"Okay!" Jonathan was still grinning and Evan was trying real hard to keep it together.

"So, uh, see you at lunch."

"Yeah, later," Jonathan waved slightly and walked away from the other who let out a huge sigh of relief. He fetched his phone and typed away.

Vanoss: I did it.

                 He said yes.

                 I'm dying help he's so cute i wanna kiss him

Wildcat: xD Go get him boi.

Mini: Agreed

           Ty added me like a minute ago btw lol

Evan took a deep breath in and ran after the other, "Wait."

Jonathan let out a sound as his wrist got pulled backwards. "What?"

Evan let out the breath and dragged Jonathan into a tight hallway leading to some supply rooms. He didn't waste time over there either, going in for the kill.

Jonathan's eyes widened slightly as he pushed Evan back, "Dude, we're in school!"

"It's your fault for being so damn cute."

Jonathan huffed, "I am not- mm!" Evan kissed him again and he decided to just give in.

It lasted 15 seconds max but it was enough for both of them to convey their feelings deeply. Evan let go of Jonathan's wrist and grinned, "Later."

As he walked away Jonathan sighed and hit the back of his head gently to the wall. "Fucking hell, I could seriously fake being sick easy with him around."

And Evan was thinking the same as he nodded towards Brock when he saw him and they walked to their class.

Lunch was back to normal, no awkward or even comfortable silence. The boys were back to their loud selves and every other table around them was relieved, even if for a slight second, because their yelling usually annoyed everyone quick.

"Shut up! It was just a slip of the tongue!" David hissed as Tyler was dying in giggles and Evan laughed along too, the others were snickering or letting out slight chuckles. Marcel smirked, "Hockin a dookie is a slip of the tongue?"

"In his case it might as well be," Anthony said, wheezing afterwards. David groaned.

Jonathan sighed, "Okay, okay, enough. Let's just all agree that he's bad with words."

"Gee, thank you, guardian angel," David rolled his eyes and downed the last of his drink. Jonathan blinked and then got annoyed, "Don't you dare bring that back."

"Guardian angel from hell, that's what you are," the other smirked and stood up, "Also, have fun in Music, nerds!" he winked at Craig and Tyler in particular, who raised their eyebrow at him.

Evan chuckled, "Didn't you guys hear last week? Test today."

Both's eyes widened as they yelled almost in sync, "Over what?!!!?"

"The tenor shit we went over," Jonathan said and bit into his sandwich. Tyler and Craig looked at Jonathan and then put on fake desperate faces, "Help us, guardian angel."

Jonathan almost choked on his food and everyone in the table laughed again.

The last period was Gym for everyone. So they could easily talk over stuff in the locker room.

"So Evan and Jon are getting it on tonight," Brian teased and Jonathan blushed furiously while Evan was talking to some others. "Okay, dude....it's Friday the 13th, how am I supposed to get it on if I'm looking at the best slasher movie?"

"In my opinion, Halloween is better," Brian said and took his shirt off. Jonathan gasped, "How dare you!"

Brian chuckled and then looked away as Jonathan sat down to untie his runner shoes. Brian's eyes landed, however, on Brock, who was staring right at him. Brian smirked, "Like what you see?"

"Uh...yes..." Brock looked away, his whole face red. Brian snickered.

"Get a room!" Scott said from the other side of lockers and Anthony's wheeze was heard right afterwards.

"Yo Marcel!" Lui tapped his boyfriend's shoulder. "Yes, monkey?"

"I got everything set up for that date, you just pick the day this week."

"How about tonight?" Marcel smiled. Lui grinned, "Okay!"

"And you get a room!" Scott shouted again.

"So those who don't have to get a room, anyone up for Zombies? Because I want to finish off that boss!" Tyler huffed.

"Sure, I'm in," Craig smiled. Brian and Brock also raised their hands. "And that's that!" Tyler snickered.

Arlan closed his locker, "Hey, by the way, guys, I heard from Cody this weekend."

Everyone turned to the shortest out of all of them. "And?" Evan urged him to continue.

"He has a girlfriend," Arlan smiled slightly.

Brock's and Brian's eyes widened while everyone else basically cheered.

"Who?" Brian asked

"Her name is Clara and apparently she's a master at Smash Bros. Yes, with every character."

"Well, cool!" Brock chuckled slightly. And then he and Brian exchanged looks, smiling at each other.
