the clusterfuck of happenings

"So... You'll come to the party? It's at Minx's place, and I just thought it'd be fun for us to do together. There's gonna be costume contests and tons of candy probably, a-and we'll-"

Anthony smiles, his heart pounding heavily at the sight of the flustered boy in front of him. He cuts Steven off with a chuckle, then nods his head. "Of course, buddy. Anything for you."

Steven stumbles over his words, staring at the ground shyly before choking out a small "thank you" and running away.

Watching after Steven (not because of his ass, Anthony would insist to himself later on that night) Anthony laughed to himself as he observed Steven hiding behind Minx, face flushed and a little smile on his face.

That shy little fucker thinks he's cute, huh? Well, he's right. Really, really cute.

Wait. Halloween party? That means costumes. What if we go matching? Oh, how cute little Ze would look all dressed up. I can be Mario, and he'll be my Peach. Or Luigi.

But that would make it kinda awkward. Luigi is my brother.  People don't date their brothers.... Right?

"Chilled? Why are you just standing there? Stop staring at Ze, that's creepy."

Turning around, Anthony was met with Smarty, who grins and gestures towards Steven. "I can see you like the booty, huh?"

Anthony just scoffed, grabbing John's sleeve and began to lead him towards class.

._.

"Oh! Chilled! Chilled!"

Anthony looked up at the sound of his name, watching as Bryce came running up towards him.

He trips and falls flat onto his face, causing Chilled to panic because dear god that must've hurt.

Steven, from somewhere behind Anthony gives a little, panicked cry, then comes running up to the two. "Bryce? Bryce, holy shit, are you okay?"

Bryce just looks up, laughing and smiling despite the fact that he fell onto his face at an, admittedly, alarmingly fast speed. He shakes his head, brushing off their attempts to help him, instead Bryce gathers his things and stands up, giggling like a little schoolgirl the entire time.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," he announces, smiling brightly at the two. "Hey, have you seen Ohm around by any chance? He's supposed to get me lunch."

"Lunch is already over, though. Art is about to begin," Steven begins.

"I know. We're meeting some friends of his that stopped in town for the day. He told me we'd be leaving around now, so I thought that-" Bryce is cut off by an impatient looking Ohm, who grabs the taller by the shirt and promptly drags him off, grumbling something that Anthony couldn't understand.

There was a moment of silence, before Anthony breaks it with a small," Isn't he the top of our class? All A's and that?"

"Yeah," Steven said thoughtfully. "He is. I'm pretty sure he hit his head too hard or something when he fell."

Anthony shrugged, "Well, whatever makes him happy. We should probably go to class before we're late."

Steven looked up at Anthony for a moment, before nodding silently and gesturing for him to lead the way.

Anthony began to walk, trying to ignore the silence and how awkward it felt. Was Steven upset over something? Anthony didn't fuck up again, right?

"Uh... Is everything okay, buddy? You look kinda stressed."

Steven sighs quietly. "Bryce was my partner for our English project. It's due today and he's the one who was holding it."

"Oh. Well... Maybe we can skip class too? When do you have English?"

"It's my last class. What do you have?"

Anthony chuckled quietly. "World History. I'm all for ditching, especially if you are."

Steven rolled his eyes, chuckling to himself. "We'll see about that, okay?"

.-.

So now Anthony was in his history class, quietly mumbling to himself as he tried to remember the vocabulary from chapter four, constantly looking around the room.

His eyes catch Galm, of all people, standing outside the classroom window in the courtyard, waving at Anthony. He gets the message- or at least he's getting a message.

Looking over at the teacher, who's busy helping some student with his back turned to both Anthony and the door, Anthony decides that it'll be easier to just walk out rather than make some elaborate plan to escape.

And to his surprise, it actually works. Then again, Mr. Sark sees everything. He probably just didn't feel like yelling after him, meaning Anthony's gonna get it tomorrow.

Smarty half hugs- half body slams Anthony out of nowhere, causing Anthony to yelp and nearly fall into Tom. Instead of falling into Tom, Anthony and Smarty land at Steven's feet.

"Wait, Ze? When did you get here?" Anthony is surprised, to say the least.

Smarty laughs from his spot on top of Chilled. "We picked him up on the way, and Galm's going to find our new friend!"

"New friend? Are we kidnapping someone again, like with Tom last time?" Anthony pushes Smarty off of him, then gets up.

As if on cue, Galm comes up to them, leading a notably smaller person along with him. "Guys, this is another Steven. The Smaller Steven. Or Aphex, I call him Aphex. He's an old friend of mine, and he moved here because shit happens. Be nice to him, Chilled, I'm mostly looking at you."
.-.

aaaand thats where I'm cutting it because I completely forgot where this part was going- all i remember was that i wanted to bring Aphex in.

But yay, Aphex is here.

(i really love aphex hes so underrated like holy fuck)
