Evan Hansen - Third

Evan held his thumb to the skin on his arm, pushing it down out of anxiety. He was so used to the feeling that he didn't realize what he was doing at first.

Okay, great. This is great. Tell him you like him and hope for the best.

Evan removed his thumb from his skin, already feeling another small bruise form; Jared noticed.

Here we go...

"You don't have to tell me, ya know." Worry laced Jared's voice; Evan shook his head in response. "I want to."

"Oh. Well then, who is it, Acorn?" Jared stared at Evan in anticipation, a genuine look of curiosity on his face.

"You...?" It came out as more of a question then anything, yet Evan was just happy that he had actually managed to say it.

"Me?"

Evan nodded.

Jared smiled softly. "Ev, that's amazing!"

"R-really?" The brunette nodded. "Why?"

Jared rolled his eyes. "Because, you dumbass, I like you, too!"

"What-?" Evan was shocked. Could this be a prank? Jared isn't that cruel, though... is he..?

Jared seemed so genuine Evan just had to believe him.

"I like you, too. Even if I am shit at showing it." Jared rubbed the back of his neck. "Can I ask you something?"

A nod.

"Evan, where did those bruises come from?"

Shit.
