Lalna’s face burned more than previously. Was Smiffy serious? Or, was he just joking? God, he really didn’t know. He didn’t know practically anything right now! What to do, say, think… His mind was just filled with confusion and questions.

After a few seconds of silence he giggled nervously, only to start stuttering.

"I-I, uhm, I d-don’t, uh… I don’t… Know..? I-I mean, like, uh, wh-what do you… Have in mind…?" He said, almost whispering. … To be honest, Lalna kinda hoped he was serious. In some strange way. Wait, he liked Xeph, didn’t he? He can’t like two guys? Right? Fuck, he really didn’t know at this point.

[bombsandlighters]

He was already regretting this. Why'd Lalna giggle? Well, nervous, probably. Hopefully. Not mocking his inquiry.

Smiffy swallowed, turning his head away, trying to appear calm and casual, despite his voice cracking every few words. "We-ell, just, y'know, wondering if like, Saturday afternoon  if you had nothing on, we could maybe uhh..." He coughed, leaning on one hand against the wall, raising an eyebrow cockily. He was still glowing with a blush that felt like it was covering nearly his whole body.

"Well, we could go out maybe. Like, have some dinner or go to the fair, maybe get a coffee, I dunno, something."

He shrugged. "Y'know, if you want. Your choice. Would be cool. You're cool...fuck..."

Lalna felt his face getting warmer, but giggled nonetheless. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I don’t think it was all that bad. L-like, uh, your humour.” Shit shit shit shit. He must be so awkward right now!

… And Smiffy’s face was getting more and more red/purple, whatever it was. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? He just didn’t know. He hoped it was a good thing but, he wasn’t sure.

"But, maybe it is your attractiveness that is what’s making me such a mess. You’re just beaming with it!" He tried sounding as confident as possible, but still keeping a joking tone to his voice. But, he still didn’t feel as confident as he’d hoped.

So, he decided that the best way to seem more confident was to wink. Right at Smiffy. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen (other than total embarrassement and regret)?

But, he instantly regretted it, as the warmth on his face grew and almost made him pass out.

Why did he do this to himself, again?

[bombsandlighters]

As soon as Lalna winked, Smiffy realised he had two options: Option 1 - Light and throw a fire cracker at Lalna's face, then run as fast as his long legs could take him, find a supply cupboard to hide in for the rest of lunch, hoping the darkness would supress any and all feelings he had. Option 2 - Play on and pray to God it works.

He decided number two was the best bet, if anything because he didn't really fancy blinding and/or murdering the little nerd.

He sidled up closer to Lalna, raising his eyebrows. "Oh? I had no idea you felt like that. We've only just met." He gave a slow smirk, wrapping his arm around his middle and pulling him in.

This was better! He was getting into the swing of things now. Could even feel the gross, itchy heat leaving his body, although his cheeks still burned. Although, this close, he noticed how small and thin the blond boy was, especially pressed up against himself. It didn't exactly make him self-concious or anything, more intrigued him. Almost worried him. He pushed that thought to the back of his mind, as it was overtaken by the realisation of how long he'd been holding Lalna without doing or saying anything. And the first thing that came to mind was..."Are you free this weekend?"

Lalna nodded. “I understand. Kind of. Yeah.” He felt really awkward. Smiffy was acting really strangely, and his face was getting… Was that purple? He was sure he saw purple on his face. Maybe it’s his way of blush-

No, Lalna. Bad. It’s probably something else. Don’t go assuming things like that, Christ.

"I kinda get that feeling too? But, it’s more excitement and such, and it’s when I do some experiments and such in my spare time." He said. "… Wait, did I say such twice? I did, didn’t I? S-sorry." Why are you apologizing, he thought to himself. It’s such a silly thing to apologize for. God damn it, man up already."I mean, uh, ignore that? I never said such twice. Nope." And he’s totally gonna believe you now. Good job, Lal, good job.

[bombsandlighters]

The corners of Smiffy's eyes creased in an indication of a smile, punching Lalna ever so gently on the shoulder. "Mate, don't even worry about it!" he said, shaking his head, "I get it." His eyes narrowed playfully, letting out a giggle. "I'm just so stunningly attractive you don't know what to do with yourself!"

He pulled a pose, one hand on his hip and the other holding his head, then winked, making a few kissing sounds.

He was, obviously, joking, hoping to get Lalna a bit flustered to distract from his own blushing. He did get the image of the blond going yes and grabbing his face for a-

FUCK.

He stopped his act, scratching at his cheeks, as if that'd somehow stop the deep burning under them. Why, why, why was he feeling like this? "Uh, sorry. Bit of a joke, bad humour and all that."

Lalna giggled as Smiffy just waved in front of his face. “Of course, yeah. Again, surprised nothing bad’s happened to you yet. Kinda amazed, actually.”

He caught the plastic piece, in the most ungraceful way possible. Way to go, Lalna. “Oh, okay! That’s good..!” He smiled brightly. “I don’t mind the way you reacted, either. It made me happy! Like, really happy! I can tell you enjoy this a lot!”

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy blushed, tugging his tie down slightly to scratch at his neck. "Uh, woah man, that's pretty damn cool."

He stood up, brushing small bits of plastic and ash from his legs, wishing he'd could stop feeling the weird, warm itching that kept creeping up his face. Was it from seeing Lalna enjoy this? With him? No way. It was the explosion that was doing it. It always was.

"Yeah, it's a...I dunno. Julie always says it's some kind of attention seeking, stress relieving thing, whatever, but I don't think I'm all that stressed. It's more like..." He paused, staring up at the sky as he thought. "Like it gives me a feeling, deep in my gut. all funny and fuzzy and...you know." He put his hands down by his stomach, waggling his fingers about. "That kind of feeling. You get me?"

Lalna giggled softly under his breath. “I normally have them with me, mostly because I like how they look. Now seemed like a good time to wear them anyway, you know, just in case.” He said, hoping his voice didn’t sound nervous or accidentally stutter. It seemed fine, though.

"And that was really awesome! It’s small, yes, but I liked it!” He exclaimed happily.

" … Is that weird? S-sorry if it’s weird..!" 

[bombsandlighters]

"Hm, fair enough. At least you can wear them. I can't on the account of the...y'know."

Smiffy waved his hand in front of face, shrugging. "The total lack of everything. They just don't stay there."

He went onto his knees, picking up a small shard of charred plastic and turning it in his fingers, gasping gently. "Course it's not weird mate. Did you see how I reacted? Nah, being excited is more than fine.",

He glanced up, throwing the piece of plastic towards Lalna. "Gonna fit in great with me!"

Lalna took a few steps back, just incase what Smiffy said was true, about the hospital bill and...

Okay, calm, everything will be fine. Peachy, in fact! Everything will be peachy and good.

He pulled down his goggles, thinking about safety and all that jazz. Just incase. Will probably need it.

Besides, he looks cool in them. At least, that's what he thinks, personally.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy rocked on his feet, raising his hands to his mouth.

“Nearly there,” he whispered, eyes widening as the fuse fizzled down, “Three…two…one…!”

The ping pong ball exploded with a loud pop and a shower of sparks. As it did, he let out a loud squeal, bouncing and punching the air.

“Fuck yeah!” He tapped excitedly at Lalna’s shoulder, before squeezing it tight. “You see that Lal? How awesome was that? I mean, I know it was only a little, simple explosion, but that doesn’t change anything.”

He noticed Lalna’s goggles and gave them a tap, chuckling lightly. “Wow, you come prepared, don’t you mate?”

[bombsandlighters]

"Ah, of course, hang on!" He kneeled down, and took out the tape roll. He cut off a piece with his teeth and carefully taped the hole.

"Is that good enough..?" He asked, worried that he might have fucked up something. Maybe he taped it the wrong way? Gosh, who knows.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy smoothed down the tape gently with his thumbs, eyes glinting. “It’s perfect,” he said in a soft whisper, placing the ball on the ground. He then stood up, shifting his bag and the other supplies behind a nearby bin. “Now, stand back mate. This may be the best bit, but I don’t want a bill from your parents to pay for your hospital fees.”

He flinched as he got the lighter from his pocket. “Uh…not that that’s an actual concern.”

He gave Lalna a small shove on the shoulder, before turning around and lighting the fuse, that started to burn down.

Lalna looked at Smiffys hand for a second, but realized shortly after that he actually had the string.

"Oh! Right, sorry..! Here you go." He pulled out the string from his pocket and felt the great need to toss it, but he just placed the string in his hand instead.

The blond boy looked curiously at what Smiffy was doing, writing everything down mentally.

You know, just in case.

[bombsandlighters]

"Thank you nurse," Smiffy said. He blinked a few times then carried on. Best to ignore that. It was like a surgery though, in a way. Everything had to be done exactly right, otherwise who knew what would get blown up! Okay, not many surgeries ended like that, but still.

Luckily, he'd done this several times, developing a very steady hand. He cut a length of the string, then threaded it through one of the smaller holes in the ping pong ball. He frowned, deep in thought, carefully unscrewing the lid of the black powder with one hand and getting a spoon from his bag with the other. He flipped the ball over, and, using the spoon, poured a few scoops of powder into the larger hole.

He glanced over his shoulder at Lalna again. "Hey, think you could tape this hole over for me mate? Might as well let my assistant do something!"

[sciencenerd17-blog-blog]

Lalna got, once again, very excited. "But, it wasn't visible at first! It's so cool!! How do you do that?" He squealed happily. He almost had the urge to learn more about Smiffy and what he is and such...

But, then he realized that he was getting off track.

"Ah, you can tell me later! We still need to uh do the thing! Yeah." He exclaimed, not wanting to make them forget about why he was there.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy nodded in agreement, closing his mouth slowly. “Yeah, probably for the best,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck and staring at his shoes.

He let out a small huff, standing up straighter to try and give off a better air of confidence. They were nearing the spot by now, so he shuffled behind Lalna, gently pushing him along, his excitement for the ‘experiment’ suddenly returning.

“Okay, here, here’s the place. Can always tell.” He pointed at the wall opposite, that had been badly painted to cover the numerous scorch marks running along it. “Like I said, best place for it.”

He got on his knees, carefully taking out the black powder and ping pong balls from his bag, along with a pair of scissors from his pencil case, and lined them up neatly. He reached his hand out to Lalna, making a small grabbing motion. “String please.”

[sciencenerd17-blog-blog]

Lalna got slightly startled as he saw Smiffys grin merging from his usually-blank face.

"Whoa! What was that? That was so cool, how'd you do that?" He asked eagerly in a whisper, not wanting anyone to hear him. Things like that always seemed to peek his interest. Those weird, unnatural things. They were so interesting! His smile however dropped slightly as the green boy was ignoring what happened and decided to just keep going.

"... Oh. O-okay then.." He muttered.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy's eyes narrowed, glancing over at Lalna. He wasn't screaming. People normally screamed. Trott and DJ had screamed a little the first time they'd seen his mouth. Even his own damn mother had screamed for God's sake!

But Lalna hadn't.

His heart started to beat fast as he slowly moved his hands away from his face, and allowed his mouth to show again.

"You mean...this?" he asked slowly, swallowing the large lump forming in his throat. As he spoke, his lips didn't actually move in any way, something he never understood but was apparently normal. "It's just, like, my mouth, that's all."

[sciencenerd17-blog-blog]

"Uhm, 'tis alright! No need to worry, that's my job!" He joked, laughing a little. He had now noticed Smiffy being a little more 'awkward' around him, so he tried to change the subject quickly. Didn't want to make his new friend feel uncomfortable because of him! I mean, it was most likely his fault. It's always his fault.

"But yeah, okay! I'll be right behind you." Lalna said with a smile.

[bombsandlighters]

“Good man!”

Smiffy managed to release something that resembled a laugh, but was more of a high pitched hiccup. Without really thinking, he gave Lalna a small grin with his mouth, flashing twin rows of sharp teeth for a few seconds, before quickly hiding them again. He clasped both hands over the bottom half of his face.

“That didn’t happen,” he mumbled, suddenly quickening his pace, trying to bury his face into his shoulders, “Uh, c’mon, just outside now.” The mouth-thing was not a second encounter thing. It was at least a tenth or even more, when he knew he could trust them. Not that Lalna didn’t seem like a nice guy, but he didn’t want to scare him, not unintentionally!

Lalna felt a soft burning on his face as Smiffy looked at his legs. He wasn't very proud of them. He wasn't very proud of anything, really. How weak he was, how thin, the hair getting in his eyes all the time...

He ignored his thoughts, and crooked his eyebrows at the boy.

"Uh, do I need to remind you I'm new here? I barely know anything about this place!" He exclaimed, waving his hands dramatically to show how much he didn't actually know. He knew it wasn't necessary to do those motions but it felt like it was. At least at that moment.

[bombsandlighters]

"Okay, chill out mate," Smiffy said with a light laugh "Might take someone's eyes out." He laughed a bit more, waggling his eyebrows. "I mean, God damn, they're all I've got!"

He jerked his head down the corridor again and started taking long, confident strides, chin raised slightly. "You learn the way around here easy though. The shortcuts, the quietest stairs, the best supply cupboards."

He gave a wink, a faint purple and red tinged blush appearing on his cheeks. "Y'know, just in case. Third floor corridor in this building by the way. Good, I dunno, ten, twenty minutes before someone might notice you're in there, which is more than enough time, trust me."

He trailed off, blush getting brighter. "Uh, woah. Sorry. That was a bit TMI there." His hand fumbled the lighter uneasily, thankfully avoiding hitting the spark wheel. That would be the icing on the cake, just setting his trousers alight right there. He was half tempted to for a change of subject.

"I think it’ll be kinda hard for me, since I’m cursed with being a horrible liar. But, I’ll try! I promise you that." He sounded awfully optimistic for someone who was going to blow shit up and maybe lose something. Oh well.

He nodded, and looked outside of the room, still completely oblivious to Smiffy and his strange behavior. “No one seems to be out here, which is good, right?” Lalna turned around again and looked at the green boy, his sea green eyes glimmering with excitement. Something about this just made him feel so… Excited! He had almost completely forgotten his anxieties.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy nodded, carefully picking up his backpack and stepping out of his room. "Perfect, actually! But y'know, if shit hits the fan, either let me talk or run like the wind, preferably in a different direction to me." Without thinking, he glanced at Lalna's legs, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Yeah, they look fast enough."

He then frowned slowly, looking away, shoving his still twitching hands deep into his pockets. He felt oddly calm as his fingers curled around the lighter again, though he still felt like he was sweating buckets.

"Right." He jerked his head down the corridor, trying to seem casual. He briefly considered explaining how odd this was, that he didn't normally act so weird, but thought better of it. Lalna hadn't even said anything about it! Yet.

"I'll uh, I'll lead the way then, yeah?"

[bombsandlighters]

[sciencenerd17-blog-blog]

He started to feel worry crawl into his mind anyway, oblivious to Smiffy's slight tint of red on his face. The blond decided to try and believe the green boy with a nod and said with a lower tone of voice "Alright, then..! I'm really hoping I can trust you on this."

He saw the small lighter being pulled out of Smiffy's pocket and made a small "ooh" noise. "Shiny!" He then happily exclaimed, and then realized how childish he sounded, but decided to try and not feel so ashamed of it, instead trying to make it seem like he meant to do that.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy let out a small chuckle, twirling the lighter between his long fingers a few times. “Ah! Finally, someone who appreciates it. S’not all it does, either!” He flicked it into life, eyes twinkling as he watched the flame. “Yeah, right beaut this. Gonna serve us well in today’s experiment.”

There was a small silence, about thirty seconds, before he shook his head suddenly, extinguishing the flame and shoving it back into his pocket. The warm, uneasy flush had returned, his heart beating a little too fast. “Need to uh, save the fluid. So you ready to go?” he asked, hands twitching uneasily, “We need to look casual though. Like we’re not planning something.”

Which was obviously going to work with him like this.

[sciencenerd17-blog-blog]

Lalna kept silent, and just nodded his head. He also made a little "hm" or "uhuh" noise every now and then to show that he was actually listening.

"Oh, alright. I'm still kind of surprised by how you haven't accidentally exploded yourself, or someone at least! ... Unless you actually have, in which case, I'm kinda worried.." God damn it, stop being so anxious! Everything will be fine, Smiffy promised you he'd keep you safe, he thought to himself to calm him down.

Everything will be absolutely fine.

... He hopes.

[bombsandlighters]

“Well-“ Smiffy stopped himself before reciting the tale of ‘that one time on Bonfire Night’ or ‘the incident with Mrs Andrews’ conservatory’. Lalna was clearly already bricking himself, he didn’t want to scare him off just yet.

“No,” he said firmly, clasping his hands together, “I have never had any trouble at any point.”

He did hope nothing went wrong. Lalna had such lovely hair, would be a shame if – wow, okay, again?

He distracted himself by digging around in his trouser pockets, taking out a lighter with a flourish. “Ah! There it is.”

"... Oh." He muttered as he took the duct tape and the string and put it in his pockets. "I knew that stuff was dangerous but, damn. How long have you been doing this? I'm almost surprised something bad hasn't happened yet. Er, no offense, of course." He felt like he was almost insulting Smiffy, so he decided to add the last part. Just incase.

"Wait, so, where are we doing this? I'm truly hoping we're not gonna do it in your room." He chuckled nervously.

[bombsandlighters]

Smiffy scratched the side of his head, normally where a ear would’ve been, with a casual shrug. “Haven’t a clue in all honesty. I mean, I’ve been doing this specific thing for a couple of years, but y’know, in general, since I was a kid. Something like that. And don’t worry, only casualties have been a garden shed and some plant pots so far.” He trailed off, scrunching up his face slightly. “Maybe the neighbour’s dog.”

He shook his head, moving onto Lalna’s next question. “Oh, God no, wouldn’t do that. My laptop didn’t exactly come cheap!”

He picked up his backpack and carefully placed the powder container inside, along with the ping pong balls. “No, we do this around the back of the main school building. No one goes there, so we shouldn’t get caught. Just have to be careful on the way, is all.”

[sciencenerd17-blog-blog]

As he was pulled into the room, he yelped, not prepared for it at all. "D-don't do that again, god..!" He cried, adjusting his jacket a bit. He calmed down, and decided to look around a little. He nodded his head slightly. "It's nice here. A little messy, but I don't mind." He shrugged. He, himself, was pretty bad at keeping things clean. So, he was pretty used to it.

"Anyway! What're we gonna do?"

[bombsandlighters]

“Yeah, well still, I got company,” Smiffy said, pushing a cluster of clothes under his bed with his foot as he made his way over to his desk.

He picked up one of the ping pong balls, holding it delicately between his fingers. “Essentially, we’re going to make our own little firecrackers. It’s easy, really. I’ve cut the holes and stuff already so we just need to make the fuse, pop a bit of gunpowder in and then…boom!”

With a quick grin, he grabbed the duct tape and string, pushing them at Lalna. “Right, you hide those somewhere on you, okay? I’m taking the balls and the powder and lighter, and, well, gotta keep the powder and lighter separate otherwise.” He threw his arms in the air, making a fake explosion sound. “No more Smiffy.”
