“Well, I dunno. Most of my family lacks morals and has an inflated sense of self worth, so I’m sure they’re the type to go purging in this scenario. I can already imagine Harriet and Hendrix dressing up as ballerinas or something before strapping on their AK 47s. Besides, our family will have the best security system.” He munched on popcorn and continued to watch,  but a nagging feeling that someone was watching him was on the back of his mind. Slowly, he looked over at the other, meeting Derek’s gaze with his own curious glance until the boy leaned in and kissed him. His expression melted to that of happy excitement, cheeks flushed as the blonde quickly pressed another smaller kiss on the Derek’s jaw. “Why should I smile if there’s nothing to smile about?”

“I’d be pretty freaked out by that. Honestly, if I think about it, I think my dad might go out and purge too. He doesn’t like gay people, so...” He shrugged, not wanting to make things awkward, “A security system from my company of course.” He grinned when the sight of Harper’s smile finally started to appear, a reaction that made kissing him almost addictive. “You have a really nice smile, that’s why. And even though you hate the world, I’m sure your whole life doesn’t suck that much.”

“To be honest, I don’t think you won that fair-and-square,” Ollie retorted. Although, he was just being a spoilt sport; his smile gave away how serious he wasn’t being. How did you even cheat at Mario Kart ? “I deserve that re-match.”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

Derek laughed and crossed his arms over his chest, “Oh, you think so? Let’s do a full on tournament to prove that I can kick your ass fair and square. I’ll even let you pick all of the tracks we race on.”

“that’s why you need us little people to help you along,” she said with a smile. “turns out we’re good for something after all.”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“I hate when people say that,” he chuckled, “I know you’re kidding, but people talk like I’m some tyrant of the school. It’s crazy.”

“Well not in this universe, but in the Purge ‘verse we’re pretty much taught that violence was good for society— and you know how I can’t resist following the rules.” He noticed the boy’s fingers gently tracing the bony outline of his hip and smiled to himself. Derek smelled nice and acted nice and kept the movie interesting despite the stupidly over exaggerated screams and bloody gore the protagonists provided. Pressing his face against the boy’s shoulder, he quietly wondered when he’s going to be kissed again. Kissing was a lot more fun than he previously thought, especially if it’s from football players who only show affection when no one else can see it.

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“That would be really unsettling for me. Can you imagine seeing a loved one murder another person out on the street? I feel like that shit could really fuck you up, even though it’s technically okay. You never know who actually enjoys killing in your family.” Derek glanced down at the boy who was currently cuddled against him, once again taking note of the small details that formed his skin and hair. Instead of tearing his attention from the movie with an abrupt kiss, he decided to wait until Harper met his eyes to move in. He leaned down and connected their lips for a brief second, just so he could see the smile grow on the boy’s lips again.  “You should smile more. It’s nice.”

“Ah.” Jessie didn’t know what to say to that. It felt as if Derek’s parents were on the opposite end of the spectrum from her own. “I can’t say I have any advice. My parents are the opposite and don’t notice anything.”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“I kinda wish we could trade lives for a while. I would love a chance to breathe without worrying about them finding something out. At least I have college to look forward to. Do you get lonely-- since they don’t pay attention?”

[alyssaangelic-blog]

“No problem,” Alyssa said, rocking back and forth slightly on the swing. “Oh, you can like, come up and sit if you want … I feel like I totally missed my window, y’know, like I should have joined Cara and Ellery in cheer.”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

He took the invitation and walked over to the swings, figuring the motion would help cool him off quite a bit. “Well, you still have a chance, right? You could try out for next year, if you wanted...or even this year. Ellery might be able to pull some strings for you.”

“You can see the crazy, murderous side of me,” he laughed a little and focused on trying to get comfortable with his independence before he was gently pulled back by Derek, his arm now on his waist. Harper gave a little startled jump at the feeling, not used to being held by some closeted gay boy with callused hands, but the sensation was oddly warm and comfy. “Well you didn’t act comfortable,” he murmured back, ignoring the way his mind kept screaming about possible sticky stains on the bottom of the lifted armrest before he leaned closer and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“I was. I didn’t want to bump you off my shoulder by moving, but I liked it,” he smiled, turning to connect their lips in a small kiss. “I honestly don’t think you’re the murderous kind. You talk a pretty big game, but I think you’d cuss someone out before you’d ever actually hit them,” he teased with a chuckle. His hand gently squeezed Harper’s waist as he turned his attention back to the movie, humming quietly as they finally got comfortable again. Everything was going exactly the way Derek wanted, and he couldn’t be happier with the date so far.

“it’s all about competition,” peyton said with a smirk, really shocked she had to spell it out for him. “that’s all harper cares about. lorelei is nice, though. but not nice enough to willingly come in second. that’s what sets him off.”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“I honestly didn’t know any of that shit... Shows how much I pay attention.” He raised his eyebrows a bit as he tried to picture a fiercely competitive Lorelei. “I can’t picture her that way...but I believe you.”

[oliveroshea-deactivated20200101]

“Honest mistake. Don’t worry about it, man..” Although it did make Ollie wonder whether or not Derek had known that he was innocent. And the offer definitely helped. His face lit up a little as he nodded in acceptance. “I could live with that. – I’d love to. Besides, we don’t just have to know each other from football, right?”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“Exactly. And I still owe you the chance to rematch me at Mario Cart, since I dusted you last time,” he grinned, nudging him with his elbow.

[minajvng]

Jessie matched Derek’s expression, but quickly hid it behind a shrug. “Doesn’t matter,” she said, even though every inch of her protested. “Your parents,” she continued. “They pay a lot of attention to you?”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“Um, I guess you could say that. I’d call it monitoring. If I go home smelling like smoke, I’d get grounded. If I’m 5 minutes late for curfew, I get grounded. If I get caught sneaking some candy, I get grounded. It’s not fun.”

[garretbriar-blog]

Garret scratched his head and squinted down at the ticket with the house number. It was smeared with ash from two minutes earlier when he cleaned out his pipe, which made him laugh. “It’s totally chill man, do you want it anyway? It smells fucking good and I gotta deliver it to somebody soo..”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“Um...” He glanced behind him to see if his parents were near, “I mean-- I’m not gonna pay for it, sorry. I’ll take it if you really wanna get rid of it, but...” He shrugged and offered a small smile.

“not me,” peyton rolled her eyes, giving a soft chuckle. of course they’d always have their spats, but at their core, she’d always thought they were pretty similar. too similar to deal with each other’s bullshit. “my friend, lorelei. brown hair, doe eyes? the other smartest person in sparks?”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“He gets into fights with Lorelei? She’s nice as hell,” he replied with furrowed brows. “It’s probably not just a friendly competition thing, huh? What the hell do they have to fight about with each other? That’s fucking weird.”

[garretbriar-blog]

Garret stood outside the house door, two hot pepperoni pizzas in his hands, eyes just a tad glassy and red. He knocked on the door in the familiar way pizza delivery boys do, and bit the inside of his cheeks. This may or may not be the house he was assigned to deliver to, but in his fairly obvious ‘under the influence’ state, he wasn’t sure if he was that bothered by it.

[derek-patterson-blog1]

Derek wasn’t expecting anyone when he heard a knock at the door, even more confused when he saw Garret on the other side. He slowly opened the front door with a confused look on his face, though his mouth watered when he smelled the food. “Uh...I didn’t order any pizza, man. I think you have the wrong house.”

[minajvng]

“I’ve been told my manners are impeccable,” Jessie joked. The mention of her parents had her shrugging. “No clue. If they did they wouldn’t say anything anyway.”

[derek-patterson-blog1]

He raised his eyebrows in surprised, “Man, lucky you. You probably hate that though. I wish my parents would pay less attention to me sometimes.”

“You’re so idealistic about your future in this universe,” he replied, popping a bit of pretzel into his mouth, “I think I’d stay home. I mean, I’m sure my family will have some fucked up rich people auction to go to during this holiday so there’s a still good chance I can purge, but I don’t wanna run around outside looking for homeless people to beat up.” He noticed how little Derek was actually touching him and sat up straighter in his chair, fingers sliding away from the boy’s hand momentarily. Still rather guarded (though trying to better himself, no doubt), his eyes flickered from the screen to the football player every so often.

[derek-patterson-blog1]

“I don’t want to be anywhere near the murder country. I feel like people would really participate, and that’s what freaks me out. Are you saying you’d really kill someone? That’s fucking crazy. I can see that side of you though” He frowned when Harper pulled away, taking his warmth with him. Derek reached over to wrap his arm around the male and gently pull him close again, “I was comfortable, you know,” he whispered in his ear with a small smirk.
