;;x;; Counting Stars {closed}

@st1tchrps

He watched the stranger from the sidelines, eyes narrowed slightly in curiosity. The newcomer was a lot more cheerful than the others, but Thomas could see the estranged look in his eye that he’d lost something--or someone--important to him.

He wouldn’t approach the stranger. Mosh, Mog and Elmina told him that the stranger would come to them eventually seeking some sort of weapon. He wasn’t sure if that was necessarily good or bad. Nevertheless, he followed the newcomer by the shadows, keeping behind buildings and making sure he never lost sight of him for longer than a few seconds.

She nodded and looked up at him. “Yeah, that sounds fun.” It would just be them, holding hands, walking and talking. It was simple and sweet. It was exactly what they needed after all that happened. Hopefully her sister wouldn’t worry if she came home a little later than she usually did. Or maybe she would assume she went out with the rest of the girls afterwards, like she sometimes did. Then a question came to her mind that she really didn’t mean to ask. It just came out without her thinking. “Why’d you come to the game? I didn’t think you were the football type.” It was either to see her or meet one of his friends, she was pretty sure. And she really hoped it was the first option.

[rxnniing-blog]

He was so lost in his own thought that when Prim spoke he almost jolted. He looked down at her when she asked that question and pressed his lips together. ~I’m--not, the football type.~ he affirmed, scratching the back of his neck with his free hand. Was it hot outside? No, it was the end of the month. He was just beet red. ~I uh, I just...~ he cleared his throat. ~I’m not sure, really...Part of me wanted to come see you, the other part wanted to stay as far away as possible.~ he dropped his hand from his neck, not looking at Prim. ~I really thought you believed them and you were done with me.~

[tailtucked]

“You’ll be the next Thomas Edison, I’m sure.” She wouldn’t be surprised if he does make the next big thing without even knowing it. His mind was brilliant but humble. He didn’t brag about being intelligent. Her mind felt so ordinary compared to his. She had no idea what he was talking about but she nodded like she did. Prim liked science and asking questions but she was more into the health part of science like biology or anatomy.  Physics? Not so much. She just nodded, like she knew exactly what he meant. “Are you sure? I really don’t wanna get in your way.” He looked like he was on a roll, like he was in his own little world. If she interrupted that, she wouldn’t forgive herself so easily. “What’s the rub?” She allowed herself to ask that one question even though she had so many more.

[rxnniing-blog]

~Real cute.~ he said in response to her comment, laughing softly. Thomas Edison? Engineering was always his forte but Thomas Edison? Lightbulbs. He thought amusedly as he looked at the string of lights in his lap. ~I’m positive, Prim. If you were getting in my way I would’ve kicked you out already.~ he said, tilting his head as he maneuvered the wire chip around in his hand, examining it. ~Finding which colors do what is the rub.~ he said, looking at the end of the line. He slid back in his chair and plugged the lights in, but only half of them lit up. He hummed. ~One of these wires is burnt out but I’m not sure which one.~ he moved forward again, grabbing his wire cutters and the roll of copper wire. ~Good thing I’m smart and know how to fix something I broke in case I accidentally slice the wire that keeps the rest of this circuit going.~

[tailtucked]

She grabbed his hand and instantly started blushing. She just hoped he thought it was her cheeks just being red from cheering for a few hours. “Yes, sir!” Prim chuckled at herself and looked up at him. “Where did you wanna go? We don’t even have to go out if you don’t want to.” They could even just go to one of their houses, she didn’t mind. Just as long as they were together, she’d be okay.

[rxnniing-blog]

He hummed and quirked the side of his lips in a soft smirk as he led her away from the fence. ~I was thinking we could go walk around Little Italy and China Town. It’s not too far.~ he said, smiling. ~Just to walk around. Figure something out while we’re there.~ Plus side of being in the City was that everything was close by. Home was just a trainride away, and hers was just a few blocks from his. His mom would be wondering where he was but eh didn’t care. He just wanted to spend time with Prim.

[tailtucked]

She started chuckling through her nose and shaking her head. “So you could be making the greatest invention ever known and you wouldn’t even know it until you’re done?” She wished she had that talent. She could just mess around and have something work. Prim wasn’t an inventor, like Thomas. She was more of a doctor type. He was smart, he could easily be an engineer or a rocket scientist if he wanted to. She had full faith in him. She shrugged and smiled back. “It’s okay, you have a big idea. It’s cool to watch.” It was cute to see his thinking face. But he didn’t need to know that. “I’m not distracting you, am I? If I am, I can leave, if you want me to.”

[rxnniing-blog]

~Pr...obably.~ he said, setting the batteries on the desk and starting to gently tug at the circuit board in the pack. ~Except this is just supposed to be an electric circuit with parallel and series circuits. Ohm’s law and all that jazz.~ he said, waving a hand dismissively. He glanced up at her question and smiled, shaking his head. ~Not at all. I’m an excellent multitasker.~ he looked back down as he got the board out and examined the wire colors. ~Now here’s the rub...~

[tailtucked]

Right after the game, she was rushing to get everything together. She stuffed her pom poms in her bag, stuffed her water bottle in and practically ran to him afterwards. Prim found him and instantly smiled. Her sister knew she’d be out but she didn’t really tell her it was with Thomas. But she didn’t care. “Hey.” She was blushing even more and playing with the strap on her bag. “You ready to go?”

[rxnniing-blog]

~Born ready.~ he said when she showed up, smiling back at her. He took her hand. ~Shall we, m’lady?~ he asked, nodding his head to the side. He wasn’t quite sure where he wanted to go. He just wanted to go with Prim. Maybe take her downtown since it was in walking distance. Windowshop and figure out where they want to eat. 

[tailtucked]

She smiled, got his wire cutter and handed it to him. Watching him build…whatever it was he was building made her proud of him. He was so smart and so cute at the same time. It made her blush just thinking about it. Even though they weren’t exactly doing anything together, he was making his project and she just watched, it was really cool to watch him work. Prim smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I’ll get them for you.” She just was trying to help in whatever way she could. Once she actually came back with the lights, she put them in front of Thomas, kissed his cheek and went back to sit on his bed. “What are you making anyway?” He seemed a little bit like a mad scientist, he looked like he was really into this project.

[rxnniing-blog]

~Actually,~ he said, twisting open the metal cap of the bottle. It was an empty wine bottle that he stole from the recycle bin downstairs. ~I don’t know yet.~ he responded honestly. He lifted the bottle to his eye and squinted the other one to look at the hole he drilled in the bottom. It wasn’t a lie; in these moments, he let his mind work in flow, not in process. He just knew he wanted to string the circuit through the bottle. Which would be a meticulous process, but doable. ~But I do know I want to rewire those lights to blink.~ he said spontaneously, putting the bottle down and pulling the lights on his lap, taking a mini-driver and unscrewing the power pack. He smiled at Prim. ~I know this might be boring but I’ll stop working on it soon. I promise.~

“What do you need me to do?”

;;x;; some meme I don’t remember posting

@prxmroseeverdeen

~Oh, if you could just--here, hand me that wire cutter. The little one in the cup holder.~ he nodded in the direction of his desk. In his hands was another contraption he was building for his AP physics class. Mr. Collins wanted him to get creative with his circuit board. So he was getting creative. ~And can you ask my mom where she put the garbage icicle lights? Just tell her I said the ones that burned out that she used to keep in the dining room. I know she didn’t officially get rid of them, they’re probably hiding in the garage.~ he said, looking back down at the glass bottle he was drilling into. His mother may not celebrate anything but for some reason she liked decorating the house with lights during her dinner parties.

Above all, he just loves to see her smile. The way her eyes light up and  her cheeks glow makes him happy. Any image of her smiling automatically makes him smile, too.

“I really am sorry, Tommy. I should’ve believed you first.” She felt so stupid. Next time, she was going to ask him what was going on with him instead of depending on someone else. She smiled after she kissed his cheek, just seeing him smile.

Now the break and having to get back in time was the last thing on her mind. And she really was considering leaving the game early. But she didn’t want to let her team down and Thomas wouldn’t let her skip for him. Him accepting her offer made her smile even bigger. “I won’t be long, I promise!” She gave him a small peck on the lips before getting off the fence. “I’ll see you a little bit!” The next words, she said them with so much confidence as she walked backwards towards the cheerleaders. “I love you!”

[rxnniing-blog]

~I told you,~ he said before she left, grabbing her wrist. ~I forgive you. Now go.~ he smiled, releasing her wrist. A small spark of electricity went through him when she kissed him again, and he smiled wider. ~I love you too.~ he waved at her as she left, feeling light and warm. ~A lot...~ he said, too quiet for her to here, but just so it was out in the universe.

[tailtucked]

“It’s not your fault, you don’t have to be sorry. You were just doing your work with your lab partner.” He did nothing wrong. All he did was mind his own business and do his work. She was the one who decided to believe everyone but him. “I should’ve believed you. I should’ve just asked it and accepted the answer from you. And I hung up on you and I did a lot of awful things.” She turned him down at her house, after he snuck out, put his feelings out there, all she did was pull away and tell him she needed time. Prim wouldn’t blame him if he just dumped her. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. “You wanna meet me after the game? Anywhere you want, my treat.” She still had some money saved and she wanted to treat him, especially after what she put him through.

[rxnniing-blog]

Yes, there was still indeed a sting in his heart from the cloud that had covered both of them. But still he smiled weakly at her admittance, sympathetic. But then it grew into something more gleeful at her kiss.

He had to stifle a giggle. That was so sudden, and he was so happy for it. And he had no idea why. Something like that would’ve never made him so happy before. But now, for some reason, the offer made him want to jump up and down with excitement. He licked his lips and bit down his smile a bit before nodding. ~Sure.~ he said softly, then cleared his throat and nodded his head to the side. ~Go do your thing, Gorgeous. I’ll wait here.~

[leptinspired]

                               Newt only pulled a face in response to the taunting, trying not to show how much he really was enjoying himself with this back and forth between him and Tommy. It felt comfortable and… Easy? Whatever that bloody means… Shaking his head from his thoughts, he let out a gasp in feigned shock to the Greenie’s words. “What ? YOU ? Actually wantin’ to do some buggin’ work around here? I find that very hard to believe…” The blond trailed off, voice laced heavily in sarcasm.

                                What happened next almost seemed like comical slow-motion in Newt’s eyes as he watched Thomas tumble backwards. He even made a move to reach out a hand to grab the shank before he could fall but, alas, he was too late so now he simply stood above Thomas, snickering down at him. Newt even dared to start slowly applauding such a wonderful display from the loveable idiot. “Wow, Tommy– ya really know how to IMPRESS, don’t ya? I’m almost klunkin’ my pants over the possibility of ya doin’ any other job round here but the Gardens. Might be buryin’ ya pretty face in the Deadheads before long~…” He teased, offering a hand down to help Thomas back to his feet.

[rxnniing-blog]

His face contorted in a wince of pain before pushing himself up to look at Newt, his hand going to a sore spot on his thigh where it his the bucket. He looked between Newt’s eyes and the hand, narrowing his eyes.

~Just make sure you put “impressive and pretty” on my headstone.~ he said, then scoffed and took Newt’s hand, pulling himself to his feet. He gave a smirk. ~I’m okay with sticking with the Gardens. I’m pretty sure you are too.~ he said, then dropped Newt’s hand. Maybe that was...forward. he thought, clearing his throat. The flirtatious air in his voice was completely gone as he felt an awkwardness spread between them, his face burning red. Maybe he could blame that on the heat. ~What were we doing again?~

[moved-2-coulrophobicx-blog]

Keeping her head down at her desk as she looked through the book. Trying to keep to herself. She knew that this was the best way to go unnoticeable which never worked. Everyone hated her and all she wanted was to have a friend, someone who treated her like a human. It hurt not to have a single friend. Maybe it was partially because of her mother, she was known as the weird kid but everyone deserved to feel cared about by others. 

Hearing a voice she turned her head to him a bit. Nodding softly. “Yes.” She whispered. “Thomas. Why are you talking to me?” 

[rxnniing-blog]

~I--well...~ he drifted off, not really sure how to respond to that. Obviously she knew his name, which was both confusing but satisfying. 

~I’m not sure, I just...~ he could feel the other girls staring so he lowered his voice. ~It’s the nice thing to do.~

[tailtucked]

Prim smiled and leaned on the other side of the fence. She really did hope that he came just to see her. He seemed hurt when she told him that she needed time to think. But he understood, he gave the space she really needed. She just needed to tell him everything she should’ve told him the night before.

Prim looked back at the others, who were just talking. They had a tiny break but it was enough time for her. “We have a break. I’ll be over there in a little while.” She looked to her pom poms and then him again. “Look, Tommy, I’m really sorry for not believing you. I just heard everything from different people and it was really confusing.” Prim looked at him and pressed her lips together. “I really love you. And I’m really sorry I hurt you like that.”

[rxnniing-blog]

There they were. Those words. It made his heart jump for a second. Did she mean it? He cleared his throat and looked sideways at her. ~I’m sorry for giving you the wrong impression...~ he said, assuming that meant she believed him. But he flinched, like he thought that wasn’t the right thing to say. ~I understand why you were upset. There’s--no need to apologize.~ he said, then gave a hesitant smile. ~I, uh...love you too.~ he was testing the words to see how they would taste. So far, they seemed to work nicely.

He stood awkwardly in the doorway of a study room in the library that he’d reserved. But someone else occupied it. He quickly checked the door number to make sure he had the right one, and he did. He cleared his throat to try and catch the stranger’s attention. ~Hey, uh...~ he didn’t really know how to start. He didn’t want to kick the guy out, but he did have the room reserved so he didn’t have to sit in his stupidly loud study hall for the next hour and a half. ~Did--did you have this room reserved first?~

@rxnniing

“Hey, Tommy.” Prim didn’t talk to him the whole day. But he actually came to the homecoming game, she saw him in the bleachers with some boys from track while she was cheering. It felt awful, seeing him after not talking to him since he showed up and kissed her at her house. But he was still there, after the game, almost like he was waiting for her. “Can we talk? Please?”

[rxnniing-blog]

Thomas jolted in surprise when he heard the soft voice of Prim, not expecting to hear it. He had been hovering on the fence of the football field, watching the third quarter with only half interest. Football was never his favorite. He would sometimes watch to appease Gally after a hard tutoring session for him, but today he wans’t sure why he went. It wasn’t for Gally. It certainly was wasn’t for Prim.  He saw the cheer squad, but didn’t look for her at the time. It would’ve hurt too much. But it appeared he didn’t have to now.

~Oh. Hey.~ he said, not really sure what else to say. He looked across the field. ~I thought you’d be over there with your groupies.~ he said, nodding in the direction of the gaggle of girls waving their pom-poms and swishing their ponytails.
