"C-cool." Proxy grinned. "We sh-should get t-to our classes n-now. See you t-t-tomorrow, Benji." The boy grinned at his new friend and shut his locker, waving as he walked to his next class.

"Yes." He agreed, finally stepping away to go to his next class. Benji still had no idea what kind of a date it was, or what The Hunger Games was about, or what they'd talk about, but he was perfectly content with that.

"I-I really l-like the Hunger Games t-t-trilogy." Proxy replied. "Wh-what do y-you like?"

"Perfect." He nodded with a smile. "It's playing tomorrow at eight fifteen. I'll meet you there at eight, two thirds back dead center, that's where he best seats are." He shared. He didn't share that he hadn't seen the first film but he'd go home and watch it tonight.

Proxy nodded slowly, trying to remember if the pack had planned stuff for tomorrow. “Th-that sounds g-good. Wh-what time? A-and where should w-we m-meet?”

"Depends what movie you want to see, I guess." He shrugged, pulling out his phone and searching for movies playing. The school wi-fi was less than ideal and it took a long, awkward silence for him to retrieve the information and sift out all of the "Rated R" films they couldn't get into. "Catching Fire, Frozen, Thor, Delivery Man, Last Vegas, Free Birds, Captain Phillips, Christmas Candle, or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2." He looked up at Proxy expectantly, waiting for him to decide. Benji never really cared for films, and he'd only really heard about the first three anyways, so he didn't care what he chose.

Proxy blinked with surprise. “You r-really…cool.” he smiled in return. “Cool…well w-we can still see a-a movie…u-uhm, th-there’s an arc-cade we can w-walk to t-t-too.”

"Where we can talk." He nodded, clarifying. "So the theater just out of town, do you want to go tomorrow?" He laughed slightly, noting that Proxy hadn't answered his question.

"Yeah, I-I know, but…m-maybe it c-could be kinda like a-a d-d-date?" Proxy felt embarrassed the moment he asked. He didn’t even know if Benji liked boys. Hell, no one was supposed to know that /Proxy/ liked boys, save for Alile since she was his best friend.

Benji cocked his head to the other side, still somewhat confused. If Proxy didn't want to be seen talking to him why would he want to go on a date with him? Unless of course his idea of a 'date' wasn't the kind he saw on tv... Cal and Aiden went on dates didn't they? But Cal and Luther also went on dates... However, whichever was Proxy's definition of date, Benji didn't mind. "Okay." he grinned, "When?"

"Cool." Proxy grinned. "U-uhm…if you r-really wanna talk m-maybe we c-could go d-do something outs-side of, of school." The boy gave a nervous smile, concerned for his mental health thanks to the persistant idea in his mind. "L-like, maybe w-we could s-see a m-movie?"

Benji gave him a confused look. He wanted to talk to him, and understood why they might be better off outside of school but... "You can't talk during movies..."

"N-no, don’t leave!" God dammit, you dumbass. "Y-you’re fine, uhm…I-I’m just curious….b-because I th-thought y-you weren’t supposed to t-talk to me. Y-you c-can if, if y-you want…"

Benji hadn't even begun to walk away, instead he stayed planted, smiling calmly with closed lips. "I do." He nodded curtly, "Maybe we aren't, but I can deal with the consequences."

[thegutterwelcomesyou-blog]

"U-uhm….y-yeah, it d-does," he replied. "I-I don’t w-wanna sound r-rude b-but….wh-why are y-you talking t-to me? D-don’t our f-friends k-k-kinda…hate eachother?"

Benji pursed his lips, positive he'd messed up a conversation again. His eyes lowered to the ground and he stepped away, pretty sure that was what he was supposed to do. "I'm sorry. I'll leave."
