A smirk played at Sharron's lips, as if she knew that she had gotten to Eli with that comment, but it disappeared as soon as her boy friend teased back, "Yeah yeah, everything looks awesome on you, Mr. Big Head. And you're right, your dad would skin you and then cut off the bit of your skin that had the tattoo and turn the rest into boots. On that note, forget the piercing! If he'll let you get away with it, I'm going with you and getting my tattoo!" He dropped his dramatic pose to push Eli back and then started to dance as he sung, "I'm gonna get my tattoo, I'm gonna get my tattoo, I'm gonna get my tattoo."

"I don't think it's your place to judge whether Aaron is "whipped" or not," she replied snottily, as she put air quotes around the word. She glared at Eli like she'd love nothing more than to push him in the road into on coming traffic. Aaron reacted as expected, oblivious to his girl friend, "I am not! I just think she's a hot topic."

"You didn't think about lunch with me when you got that?" Aaron demanded pouting. The comment had more implications than he meant, but he didn't realize it, as he continued, "I can see I've drifted to the second thing in your mind. Geez, how cruel. Best friend second, body piercings first. I'll remember this come the holidays when you need me on your side during snow ball fights."

(((I love all the ideas! I so have to watch the movie now. *makes mental note to look it up* 14A? I have no clue what that is, but okay, innocent stuff, kissing and making out. Oh, poor Eli. *tears of pity* I love this idea. Yaoi makes things that were originally hetero, so much more interesting. Also, sorry I type so little. I've tried to type more, but I don't seem to be doing a good job of matching you in length of replies.)))

For one very brief moment, Eli went completely still. Did this...this hooters pin-up wanna be just call him a tramp!? His brows fell in a somewhat insulted angle, looking at her like she had three heads. He felt like asking her what masculinity, just to freak the shit out of her, but decided against it. He had promised himself not to be an ass to her just yet. He held his tongue, and was about to make a joke of it when Aaron's face was suddenly very close to his own.

"Of course it looks awesome, it's on me." He said with a wide grin, his fingers still tingling from having Aaron's face so close to his own. A few inches closer... He snapped out of it, pushing the dream to the back of his mind. "Are you kidding? If I go home with a tattoo, my father will personally skin my ass. Not to say I'm not thinking about it, I just have to wait a save up for it. I could find a place to put it where they wouldn't see. He'd get over it, I just didn't have the balls to get one today. And check this: Moe, who owns the shop, is totally cool. He knew I forged mom's signature, and he stuck me anyway. AND, he's going to give me a discount when I go back for the tat." He reported with a smirk, poking at the stud. He laughed at Aaron's pose, shoving him playfully. "Yeah, I'll hook you up. Time and place, baby." He said suggestively, forgetting about Sharron. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he smiled at her.

"So, Aaron hasn't shut up about you. You do know you have him whipped, and you guys haven't even been going out for a whole 24 hours yet?" He said, grinning at her and knowing his friend would try and play the cool guy. He would try to get along with her, for Aaron's sake. The other boy's comment made him think for a minute, and he frowned with disappointment knowing he wouldn't be able to eat a sub with this thing. "Yeah, I think I'll stick with milkshakes for a while." He replied dejectedly, walking with them towards the sub shop.

{ I like the party idea! There's this scene in the movie, when the girl is teaching the guy how to give a 'passionate kiss', and I think we should definitely throw that in there. Like, have Aaron confess to Eli that he doesn't think he's a good kisser. And then Eli could show him the proper way to do it. You could also have that as the moment Aaron realizes his feelings for Eli. But for an answer to your question, Aaron wouldn't exactly be cheating on Sharron because he wouldn't quite understand what's going on between him and Eli. They'd just do innocent things, like making out and 14A kinda stuff while drunk. So then while Aaron is confused, Eli could think he grossed out his best friend. Or something dramatic like that. Just a suggestion. }

"Oh my gawd! Are you kidding me?" Sharron asked with a disdainful glance. She wrinkled her nose and said, "Eli, honey, if you were a girl, you'd look like a tramp. As you masculinity stands-"

"That is freaking awesome!" Aaron said, finally finding his voice. He ducked to get a closer look and see if it was real or not. When he saw that it was real, he leaned back out of Eli's space and said, "Dude! I thought you were getting a tat or something permanent, but nah, you started small, that's awesome and smart. Now I want a piercing, but no!" he pauses to pose dramatically. "I shall resist...for the moment."

Sharron looked at Aaron shocked and demanded, "You think he looks good with that, that, that thing!? Geez! It's so-yuck!" she finished lamely, pouting. She cross her arms and pouted, while glaring at Eli like it was all his fault or something.

Aaron looked at his best friend and rolled his eyes. He put and arm over each other their shoulders and said, "Lunch awaits us...if Eli can even eat with that thing in."

((So like Ely and Aaron start to become serious while Aaron is still with Sharron? Also, I'm gonna throw the party in my next post, well the invite to go. Yay me for planning ahead, lol))

Eli had taken their usual route to sneak off, not wanting anyone to see him and call for his brother before he had time to clear the school grounds. If his brother found out what he was about to do, he'd probably kick his ass...or tell Shaun or his father, and then all three of them would kick his ass. His mother would probably only be hurt about the secret thing, she'll most likely love it as a whole though. With that thought in mind, he stepped into the building.

Moe's Body Art and Piercing shop. Just the look of it made his skin crawl, he just wasn't sure if it was nerves or excitement. The man behind the counter looked at him with a sharp eye, probably doubting his age. Eli walked up with utter confidence and handed over the underage permission slip, with his mother's forged signature. The man snatched it rudely, read over it while occasionally glancing up at Eli. After about 5 minutes, he tucked it under the counter and surprised Eli by grinning. "I was your age kid, believe me. Some advice though, you might want to erase the pencil marks after you trace the signature in pen." The man said, chuckling, to Eli's disbelief. With swore under his breath, turning on his heal and heading towards the door. "So are you doing this or what?" The man said a moment, later, causing Eli to turn and look at him to see if he was serious. The man smiled, and Eli returned it 10 fold as they headed to the back room.

"Ow. Ow. Ow, fucking OW." Eli muttered as he pushed his tongue against the stud through his lip. He'd gotten his piercing on the left side of his bottom lip, and picked out a simple silver stud. He absolutely loved it, and once it stopped hurting he'd also love playing with it. He'd heard somewhere that guys like kissing guys with lip piercings. Maybe it would somehow convince Aaron he was also madly in love with Eli. He laughed at the thought, continuing to poke at the stud while making his way back to school. He turned the corner just in time to bump into Seth.

"Someone's gone and been a bad boy, huh Eli?" The older male said, stepping in Eli's path and leaning his arm against the wall so the other couldn't avoid him. Eli sighed, looking up. "What's it to you?" He asked, getting impatient with him. He needed to go meet with... He'd looked around Seth's arm just in time to see Aaron lean in and kiss Sharron. He looked away, and glared up at Seth when he chuckled. "Listen kid, you know where to find me when you get bored with that loser over there." He said, leaning dangerously close to Eli's face. He pushed the older male away, frowning as the other walked away laughing, and continued on his way to the two love birds. His mood was completely shitty now, he didn't even feel like showing off his piercing. But he forced out a smile anyway, pointing to the stud and wiggling his eyebrows. "You like, or you like?" He asked in a funny accent, nodding a greeting to Sharron.

{ You can make him realize his feelings whenever you'd like to, but just don't let him and Sharron break up right away. I'm thinking Aaron and Eli could go to a party or something, have a few drinks and one thing leads to another... just to make things interesting. What do you think? }

"Wouldn't you have felt horrible if the teacher had died from that?" Aaron teased laughing pretty hard, but his laughter stopped as he protested loudly, "Come on Eli! Have a heart! I will not!" The teacher glared at him and he feel silent, brooding and pouting. He glared at his desk and wished he was behind his best friend so he could feel his anger and resentment though his gaze, but that was a no go and he settled on hexing him or at least attempting to.

The truth was: Aaron just wasn't good at taking no for an answer. Even though Eli had told him not to come, he didn't listen. He followed his friend down the hall and out the school building. The boy took the same way that they always snuck out, so it was easy to follow him to that point, but while he was waiting for Eli to clear the fence, so that he wasn't spotted, Eli somehow managed to shake him.

"Fuck!" Aaron whined, stomping his feet in a very immature gesture. He glanced around, but saw no one, so he figured he was okay. Walking along the empty streets, he was surprised there weren't more people shopping, but it was about 12 am and no one was up and active at that time; they were inside making lunch or working hard at their various jobs.

His footsteps lead him to the town park where he stretched out under a willow tree and watched the lake. Soon he had drifted off and just barely woke up in time to run back to school. Panting, he arrived at the gate, to find Sharron already there. She embraced him quickly and said, "I missed you! All my classes without you are boring."

"Yeah, same," he replied, dropping a kiss on her pouting lips. He looks around for his friend, eager to learn what he had been up do.

((I thought it was a good idea and I'm glad you agree. Oh, when can I make Aaron start to realize his feelings? Does it have to be days, weeks, into the RP or just whenever?))

Eli shook his head solemnly. "Seriously dude, you don't even wanna go there. The mind will wander, when left to it's own devices in a boring phycial education class. Which is what I have next, in case you're wondering why I'm skipping." He whispered, an excited edge following this statement. The clock seemed to mock him as it slowly ticked, not to mention the fact that he'd finished his assignment already.

He picked up the carefully folded note, snickering at how much Aaron had folded it up. After a few seconds, he'd finally unfolded the note. Why the other had to make it so complicated was beyond him, but was totally something Aaron would do. He read it over, laughing flat out at how childish it was. This caused the old man to turn around and storm down their aisle, holding his hand out. "Passing notes are we? A little grade school, isn't it?" The man said, as Eli slipped the note into his hand with a grin. "Hey, I flourish in my youth, Sir. By the way, you might not want to..." Eli told him, not even finishing his sentance before the teacher abruptly shoved the note back into the younger's hand. "Yes well...finish your assignment and keep the noise down!" The poor man stuttered out, walking back up the aisle to the board. Curious eyes tried to read the note, but Eli ripped it up with a very conspirator y grin.

"I switched the notes last minute. I think I may have just scarred the man for life. " He told Aaron quietly what the note contained, and couldn't help the laugh the bubbled up his throat. A heated glare met his smiling eyes and he quieted down obediently. "And no, you cannot get in on my scheme. You'll just talk me out of it." He told the childish male, his excitement coming back. The bell took that moment to ring, and he backed everything into his bag and slung it over his shoulder. "The gate, I'll see you guys there. Don't miss me too much, dear." He chimed happily, not waiting for more complaints before skipping out of the classroom and heading towards his destination.

{ I like the idea you have for Sharron and Aaron to break up. Eli shall not interfere! I have a few things planned for Eli's attempt 'making Aaron jealous' schemes! }

"But beating him up would make me feel better," Aaron whined. He shot daggers at Seth with his eyes and dared the jerk to try something with him. Several senarieos of murder played out in Aaron's mind, but they were all called up short as he realized what Eli had said and then he doubled over laughing from sheer disgust. He asks between bursts of laughter, "How did you even think up something that corrupt?!"

Aaron did the angel act when the teacher's beady gaze was on them, but as soon as both teachers were looking away, he put his thumb on his nose and stuck out his tongue like a two year old would. There were a lot of books suddenly being shuffled to cover up bubbling laughter.

When the paper hit his hands, he opened it up and read the three short lines. He thought for a moment and then quickly wrote back in his sloppy, childish hand-writing:

Wah! I feel so unloved! The whole 'plotting something' vibe is coming off you in toxic clouds. Let me in? :'(

Pressing his fist to his mouth, he stopped himself from laugh out loud at how childish the note sounded, but it really captured his attitude. So him, it was perfect. He folded it into a interact design, just to annoy Eli, and then dropped it on his desk, pretending to scratch his hair.

He rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "No, beating him up wouldn't solve anything. Though I have considered castrating him. But he'd probably enjoy that too much." Eli said thoughtfully, glancing over at the male in question. His name was Seth, and he'd taken a special liking to Eli about a year ago. When he noticed the younger male's eyes on him, he jerked his thumb towards the door and held up 5 fingers with a perverted once-over in Eli's direction. Eli shivered, abruptly turning towards Aaron and scowling. "He'd definitely enjoy it too much." He added with a tone of disgusted finality.

"Oh save it, I've heard worse from that mouth of yours." He whispered back, chuckling under his breath. The teacher turned sharply and glared at the 2 of them, which caused Eli to look down and laugh harder. After a few short moments the laughter subsided, and Eli picked up the note and read over it. With a frown, he watched his lunch time fun slowly fade to a third-wheel party. Sighing, he replied in his curvy handwriting:

sounds like a plan, I've never actually spoken to her before. try not and make a fool of yourself, romeo. I'll meet you guys at the gate after next period, I think I'm going to skip.

Satisfied, he waited until the old fart turned back around before flinging the note back over Aaron's shoulder. Next period, he was going to do something he'd been just dying to do for the past month. He hadn't told anyone about it, not even his parents or Aaron. He saved up the money on his own, and he finally had enough. He'd even mastered his mother's signature. Of course, he couldn't mention it to Aaron because the other boy probably would have talked him out of it. He couldn't help but grin at the thought of Aaron's reaction.

'I wonder if I pushed it too far this time. Even friends should have boundaries, right?' Aaron thought as they walked into the class. He laughed on the surface at Eli's comments. Idly, he replies, "Sharron wouldn't care if it was you and me. She'd just want to watch. Hey! I thought you liked brown eyes." He countered as he too cracked up laughing. He followed Eli to their seats and if he hadn't been worried about crossing the line earlier, he would have made a comment about his friend's hips and rear, but instead, he takes his seat, still chortling about their digs on the teachers.

"That guy pisses me off," Aaron says, glaring at the guy that had made the gesture. He looked at Eli and said in an honest, even tone, "I could jump him after school and kick his ass if you want. Pardon my French, sir poet."

Aaron laughed silently when Eli didn't yell at him and just had him turn around and behave. I heard his question and nodded. He got a scrap of paper and wrote: Dude, of course we're still on for lunch. I told you, I want you to actually meet Sharron. With a lazy glance, he checks to make sure his spelling is okay and then tosses the note over his shoulder, landing it in Eli's hand.

With a sigh, Aaron leaned back so that it would be easier for Eli to pass the note back up. Unlike all of this other science classes over the years, somehow, this one didn't make his eyes glaze and Aaron actually though he might be learning something.

((no! Eli doesn't step in this time, tries to be a good friend and all and Sharron is a homophobe and she wants Aaron to break all his ties with Eli so she is his one and only and he walks away from her saying that he loved Eli more anyway. It's too perfect ))

This was not happening. There was no way in hell this was happening. Eli thought to himself, fighting the color threatening to rise to his cheeks as he stared back at Aaron, utterly dumbfounded. He was so...so...unreasonable! So shameless! The girl around them were all but squealing now, struggling to try and catch the look on Eli's face. He kept it down, thankful his bangs were just long enough to shield his face. When he was sure there was only a faint rose color on his cheeks, he lifted his eyes to try and recover. He raised an eyebrow ever-so-slightly, and gave a sad attempt at a smirk. "In your dreams." He said, just loud enough for the girls to hear, as he swung out his arm to push the other.

Out of ear shot of the girls, Eli rolled his eyes. "Oh ha ha, real funny Aaron. You better be careful, word might get to poor Sharron that you're being unfaithful." He warned teasingly, trying to keep a straight face and failing. This attempt completely faltered when the mention of their science teachers made Eli full out laugh, picturing the two. "Oh you know I'm ready. The best part of my day is looking into those aged brown eyes. Not to mention that new teacher, have you seen those thighs? Mm." He said, barely getting it out before he started laughing again. "You have to hand it to them though, they know their shit." He remarked, just before they entered the class. Eli took his respected seat in the corner by the window, watching as Aaron took his place in front of said seat.

He ignored a rather crude hand-to-groin gesture from one of the obnoxious idiots across the room. They were the kind of guys who only came to one class and smoked god knows what behind the school. This one in particular was a curious boy, who had tried his hand more then once at getting into Eli's pants, he was notorious for it. The thought unnerved him, the guy was 17 and still in Science 10! Instead, he focused his attention on Aaron who was asking about his English class.

"Where can I begin? Seriously, it should be a crime to look like that in his profession. Though, a little rule breaking wouldn't bother me any." He whispered back, a smirk playing his lips, as their teachers entered the room. "And his name is Shakespeare, you moron. He is a great..." The boy trailed off, knowing Aaron was expecting him to rebuke him like this. He made a motion for Aaron to turn around, catching the teacher looking at them like he was going to say something. Eli gave the old man a thumbs up, which caused the man to click his tongue. Eli just beamed, catching the practice teacher trying to hide a chuckle with a cough.

"So, are we still going to walk down to the sub shop for lunch?" Eli whispered to Aaron when the old man had turned his back to write something on the board.

{Oh, I'm sure Eli won't mind helping drive them apart. xP I was thinking you could have Aaron invite Sharron along with them, just to bring some drama into the picture. Just a suggestion though! }

Math was hell. Math was always bad for Aaron, but today it was flat out hell. The teacher had worn a skirt that cut above the knees and as if the forty plus year-old bag wearing a shortish skirt wasn't enough, she had chosen to wear a thong, which was showing!!!! the whole class. Aside from the visual torture, it seemed like the had could read his mind, because today she had made sure to pick all of the hardest questions for him. When he finally got out and headed towards Science, which he was gratiful to have with his best friend, he was ready to die from stress and then it was cured.

Eli came up and whispered in his ear and Aaron vaguely remember it was some Shakespeare thing, as the girls around them giggled and swooned. Deciding to play it up a bit, just because Eli was already blushing, he turned around and wrapped his arms around the other boy's waist. He replied, "Does that mean I get to top?"

The cocky grin that lit Aaron's face said that if he got slapped for that one, he knew he deserved it. Suddenly, Aaron burst out laughing and ducked away from Eli, before returning to put his arm around his friend's shoulders. He gave them a squeeze and said, "Ready for science? We can ogle the student teacher and teacher together." The last bit was sarcastic, but both were hard on the eyes, but they were ace teachers, so that's what counted...or something like that, Aaron though.

"So how was English? Any progress with Mr. Evans? Dude, you should ask him to do a private study with you on Shakesword or Quiverspear," Aaron teased, knowing that he had the name wrong and he also knew that Eli would more than likely correct him and give him a logical reason why what he said was illogical. Ah constants, you got to love them.

((OOC:/ ah! no! It ruins it and makes them seem perfect for each other. Now I need to think up personality flaws to drive them apart. *starts plotting.*))

Eli loved English class, for two reasons. The first of the two, Shakespeare, had corrupted Eli's idea of romance. The boy needed that desperate, if you lost it you would wither away in sorrows, kind of love that was burning with passion and scandal. The second, being his amazingly gorgeous English teacher, a man of few words and many appealing...attributes. He was young, but old enough to be off limits (not including the whole teacher student thing, of course). True, Eli was madly in love with Aaron, but Mr.Evans was very... very easy on the eyes. The older male had proudly stared in many a daydream, much to his ignorance. Eli would happily jump at the chance to further his knowledge of the man, if only the other would drop a hint.

That was one thing Eli could not understand. The boy had admirers. Hell, he was rejecting girls left and right, with cleverly mysterious excuses. But when it came to the sex he was actually interested in, he was lucky to make eye contact. Granted, he'd yet to visit a gay bar due to age restrictions. He knew enough gay males, or at least curious ones, but they were all looking for a hit and run. Eli wanted to get to know someone, maybe talk about his frustrating love affair with his best friend, or lack there of. The search was, up to this point, rather unsuccessful. But the boy wasn't about to give up, he was as much stubborn as he was naive.

"Eli?" A voice interrupted his pity party, a very sexy voice. He turned his attention to the older male, flashing a brilliant grin. "Mr. Evans," He said easily, "What could I do ya' for?" Chuckles erupted around the room, and Mr.Evans sighed while trying to hold back his own grin. "Page 73, if it wouldn't trouble you too much." The teacher replied, which caused another round of laughter. Eli wasn't exactly sure when he'd become the class clown, it just kind of came naturally to him. "Not much at all, Sir." He chimed, reading aloud from their current Shakespeare piece. Occasional snickers made him fumble his words, but he just smiled ever-so-coolly while Mr.Evans shook his head. He would never live to see the day when he would understand this boy.

After some rather poetic, if not exaggerated, reading on Eli's part, the bell rang and the sound of chairs and desks scraping the floor signified the end of another comical English class. Eli tipped a hat that was not there to Mr.Evans while he swung out of the room, into the hall where he spotted Aaron leaving his math class. Coming up behind the other, and wrapping his arm around the other's shoulder just as he had this morning, he uttered one of his favorite Shakespeare quotes: "Where art thou, Romeo?" Some near by girls giggled at the harmless exchange, batting their eyes furiously in the direction of the boys. Eli, noticing this, sobered up and ducked his head to hide a faint coloring to his cheeks. He could of swore he heard one of the girls swooning.

{ LOL! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, but I think it's kind of cute! Aaron and Sharron, sitting inna tree, K-I-S-S... you get it. xP }
