closed starter for @agiparker
from the corner of his eye, benjamin noticed the silhouette of a familiar brunet passing by. unwittingly, a small smile snuck up on benji’s lips. he’d heard about the date cards, about the people fawning over him, and he’d be lying if he said he was surprised. how could you not like someone like that? coward, a small voice whispered in his mind, you just didn’t ask him out because you were afraid of getting rejected. benji took a deep breath to shake off that thought— he didn’t have the energy to defend himself. a spark of confidence made him straighten up, and he got off the chair he’d been hogging for the last hour, making his way towards parker quietly. he was going to tap the boy on the shoulder, but must have hesitated a second too long, because he had already caught parker’s attention, leaving him standing there awkwardly, pointer finger in the air. “oh, um, hi! sorry, was i interrupting?” gosh, since when do you trip over a one-word sentence?
