Barry walked into the school bathroom and saw a sprawled out figure on the floor, a sense of deja vu coming over him. "Dan?"
Dan say up, his blunt falling from his fingers and rolling away. He seemed troubled. "Barry, can we talk?"
Barry, surprised that Danny remembered his name, nodded and sat in front of Dan, throwing his backpack against the wall and suddenly not caring if he was late to his next class or not.
"How has Arin been?" Dan's words were a little off, but surprisingly normal for someone who's high.
Barry didn't really know who that was and shrugged. "Good, I guess."
Danny nodded, in thought for a couple moments. Barry let him think. "Do you have a crush on someone?"
Barry turned red and nodded, he didn't see the harm in telling someone who's high and probably won't remember - well he did remember my name... Barry pushed that thought from his mind.
"How do you tell you have a crush on someone?" Dan laid down with his head in Barry's lap, making it feel like some therapy session or something.
Barry took a few moments to let himself think. "You just, feel like you can't go two seconds without seeing them. Like, it feels like you aren't complete without them. Well, those are extremes. Do you feel that way for anyone?"
"No!" Dan threw his arms up and narrowly missed hitting Barry in the face. "I kiss all these people, but none feel special." Dan turned on his side and curled into a ball, keeping his head in Barry's lap. "I'm just trying to find the one."
"I know what you mean." Barry's eyes went unfocused as he began thinking of someone. "The hard part is getting the one to think that you are the one for them."
Dan suddenly sat up and brought his face close to Barry's, Barry getting a big whiff of drugs. Barry noticed that Dan wasn't looking at his eyes, but a little lower. "May... I..., try?"
Barry didn't understand what he meant until it was already happening, his lips being filled with the taste of weed.
Barry still couldn't quite comprehend what was happening as he was pulled onto Dan's lap.
Barry pushed away and crawled backwards, unaware to the person just walking into the bathroom. "No, this is wrong."
Dan's eyes trained on someone behind Barry and he ran over to them, Barry turning just in time to see Ross and Danny connect lips. "Ross..?"
Ross pushes away after several moments. "No! Why the fuck? This is wrong!" Barry didn't miss the way Ross's eyes flickered over to his direction.
A second person steps in, hearing the yelling from Ross. "What's going on- Danny?"
It was Brian who had come in, Dan spots him and ones over, firmly planting his lips onto Brian's.
It was Brian who relaxed into the kiss, eyes closed and one arm snaking around Dan's lanky figure, the other hand gripping the top of Dan's pants.
Barry quickly stood and stumbled out of the bathroom, Ross quickly followed him out. Barry, who had grabbed his backpack on the way out, shared a look with Ross and they both scurried their own directions.
Brian's and Dan's kiss was the birth of something else.
