Distracting Me [OPEN]

[neko2]

Hunter was happiest, being away from home. Sure it was a little daunting, as he was here in a strange state with hardly anyone he knew. The paranoia was bad at times, btu he knew he couldn’t be all that scared, not when he knew at least one person rather well. The only person he trusted was here along with him, so that took the sting out of things. Setting outside, the boy couldn’t stay inside the crew bus for much longer. He was rather claustrophobic like that and much preferred the outdoors, even if it made him paranoid of others.

Sitting himself on the ground he was just watching the day go by. He wasn’t needed for anything today, as the band didn’t require his attsiatnce at the current moment. Though, he had his camera with him nether less, as he sat around the venue, playing with in his lap.

There was nothing else better to do, besides he would just annoy the other crew. He had a habit of doing that, so he thought. The older teen listened as a band was sound checking nearby, the music flooding his senses. He didn’t mind the noise, in fact, it was much better than silence. It could be deafening, something he knew all too well. His hand went to idly ruffle his hair, as a breeze rushed past him. He wasn’t much attention to his surroundings, as his eyes were glued on the camera he held so tightly in his hands.

It wasn’t like he was focused on anything particular, but just a glance around the venue would probably make him panic, as even though he was getting used to the people around, he never knew what they could be capable off. His mind would race off when he had the time, often over stressing and worrying over the littlest thing. It was his problem, and he hadn’t took any of the medication for his anxiety disorder, not since he ran away. He had his off days, but luckily he was good for now.

Hunter was content with just sitting there, pretending to be doing some productive. Heck there could be a nuclear explosion, yet the boy wouldn’t move. He was far too comfortable, doing almost nothing.

Drew ripped open the bag of gummy worms a large grin on his face. He had been craving some good gummy worms, though it was hard to find the brand he liked. He used to get them at the movie theatre but then it got bought out and now they all seemed to get the same cheap brand. He didnt like cheap gummy worms, they just didnt taste the same, not even the black forest ones. Squiggles, now those ones were the best. They had the best flavor and they were the softest. He hated the kind that was hardish and had that weird powder on them, or the ones that didnt have the right lines for the worm segments. Call him picky but anyone that had squiggle gummy words would totally understand.

He remembered one time going into one of those stores that sold things that were old or damaged at half price. Almost like a good will for food and such. They had a huge candy wall and he found two bags of squiggles. Granted they were kind of old and definitely looked like they had been on the shelf for a while but that didnt stop him. They were only like seventy-five cents. He counted that as a win and totally bought them. The only problem with him and gummy worms was that one bag was gone within ten minutes or.. maybe twenty. He just couldnt stop eating them. It was like the pringles commercial. Once you pop you cant stop.

Drew weeded out all the green mixed worms. They were his least favorite especially the worms with the yellow in it. They just tasted weird. Though again at least the squiggles ones were much more tolerable. Drew hopped off his bus, most of the band was off relaxing doing whatever, he hadnt paid attention. It seemed like a good day to be outside, then again drew wasnt really the type that liked to stay inside for too long.

He wasnt really paying much attention to where he was going as he munched on a couple worms, waving to people as he passed by them. If it had been anyone else he probably would have walked past not noticing since he wasnt exactly near him, but this wasnt just anybody. This person was one of his best and closest friends, someone he had known for so long and at one time thought hed never see again, but was pleasantly surprised when he ran into him again on tour here. This person, of course, was none other then Hunter Jamerson. The first boy that Drew had ever been attracted to. Of course there was a small issue with that and not just because of them being best friends, but also because... Drew had a little problem with liking guys. He absolutely refused to admit he was gay. Of course that didnt stop him from flirting with people, he always just said thats who he was, but it didnt mean anything when it came to guys. People seemed to buy it since that had become very popular with guys anyway.

Upon seeing his friend, Drew turned b-lining it for him. Hunter! he called out waving his hand. He practically jogged the rest of the way, plopping down next to him. hey.. whats up? he asked with that same big grin he seemed to always have on his face. Worm? he offered holding the bag out to him.

Hunter wasn’t really sure what to do with his day. He still held the camera in his hand, a present from his teacher back at school. He wasn’t great at photography but it was a sort of hobby, that took his mind off of things. Plus, he liked the feel of it in his hand, the cold exterior on his clammy skin. It was a nice day out, the sun was burning away, the clouds were up, but it wasn’t all that cloudy. The pale sky looked picturesque, and he had taken a couple of pictures out of boredom before settling on the grass.

He wasn’t paying attention to anything in particular. He hadn’t noticed nor paying attention as people walked past him, as he would rather not give himself another reason to overreact or panic, usually over nothing. But he could never be sure what people were thinking, hence why he was so paranoid and anxious half of the time. There was only one person on this earth that he could trust fully. And he was so happy that he was here with him, after being apart for so long. Hunter had never had many friends, but Drew was just enough.

He could be himself around him, without having to worry if anyone hated him or was out to destroy him. The only person he wanted to be around...He had other feelings for the boy, but he was far too nervous to voice them. As he was certain Drew did not feel the same way. Because how could he? He was his friend and to be honest, he probably deserved someone better than himself....And female...because he knew that Drew didn’t like guys, he was certain.

So for now, he was keeping quiet. It was for the best, even if it didn’t feel like it was the best decision. Hunter was rather busy in staring at his camera to notice anyone, not until he heard a familiar voice. In an instant, the boy smiled as he realised who it was. His eyes locked on his friend as he came jogging over and sat himself next to him. ”Not much, kinda bored, nothing to do really” he shrugged.

He chuckled as his friend was clutching the bag of gummy worms, just like always. He nodded, taking out a bright orange one and plopping it in his mouth. He had a passion for sugar, anything that contained the stuff, much like his friend.

”Anything exciting going with you?” he asked as he finished chewing his candy, curiously, hands still fiddling with his camera at the same time.

The minute that Drew saw his friends smile everything just seemed brighter. He liked to know that Hunter was glad to see him. Hunter wasnt always the most social person so it was nice to know that it seemed he never not wanted him around. His mouth dropped comically What! Bored? Nothing to do? psh... he shook his head nudging him with his shoulder. lies. all lies. he said. There is plenty plenty plenty to do. he nodded. Like.. you could totally have called or texted me, good thing i have a hunter..dar. he smirked. Its like a homing beacon... leads me to you everytime.

He watched his friend pull one out before reaching over and getting one himself. He tilted his head back and made a 'nom' sound as he bit off half of it. so.. how do you like my worms. he smirked wiggling his brows at him. haha! i gave you worms. he slapped his knee. I kill myself sometimes. he chuckled a bit and leaned his head on hunters shoulder with a small sigh. "huuuunnnntttteeerrr he whined playfully and then reached over tickling him in the side some. He felt frisky, or.. excited, he wasnt sure. He just felt like he had a burst of energy and he felt goofy and he wanted hunter to entertain him.

mm... nope! actually... other then the worms and finding you. he told him. otherwise ive been pretty damn lame. he pouted some. im so boring... he lifted his eyes up tilting his head back some so he could look up at hunter. we should do something exciting.... together. he grinned at him. what do you think of that? he rubbed his cheek on his shoulder. because... i think that sounds like a really good idea. he closed his eyes a moment turning his face into his neck. He took a deep breath. he had always liked the way that hunter smelled. you smell good.. he said voice muffled against his neck. i like it.. he let out a small giggle, yes.... a giggle. Drew could not explain his giddiness right now and he hoped he wasnt annoying his friend.

He lifted his head finally looking at his friend again giving him a goofy look.

[neko2]

Hunter always felt more comfortable when he was around his best friend. He didn’t have to panic around him, because he knew there was no threat. He could be himself, without feeling nervous or shy. And to be honest, Drew was the only person he felt he could really have a conversation with, without going into panic mode. He made him smile, which as rare for the pessimistic teenager. He was happy in his friend’s company, whom always seemed to be a cheery mood. It always made feel him the same, happy. He was so glad he was with him now, because he just didn’t feel himself back at home.


He chuckled at his friend’s comment and seemingly positive attitude. He just sat there shaking his head, grinning all the while. ”Haha, well I’m glad you came found me. Now I’m a fraction less bored” he smiled innocently, playing with the edge of his hoodie sleeve. He as a fidgety thing, especially when he was with Drew. He knew exactly why and that in itself made him more fidgety than usual. He admired his best friend in many ways, the way he never failed to make him laugh. Or coming up with some random plan that would forever keep him entertained until the next day, when he was apart from him.

Hunter was a clingy person , though he had picked up on that himself. So he tried not to be..whether he could. After all, he didn’t like weirding his friend out. Because he thought he did that, alot. The boy was watching his friend as his hyper mood exploded, which made him laugh. ”Yeah...only yourself that really wasn’t funny. Laaame!” he teased his friend at his bad joke just as his friend leaned his head on him. the boy couldn’t stop giggling as the boy began to tickle and whine his name ”Dreww. S-s-top t-ti-ck-ling m-me!” he cringed wriggling slightly as his friend tickled his side.

Without warning Hunter felt his cheeks blush red, which made him feel embarrassed as soon as his friend stopped the boy clamped his hands on his cheeks until he felt the blood had rushed away. Then did he look back at his friend, with a light smile. ”Mhm I wouldn’t say you’re boring..But yes we should. It does sound excellent. But one question, what to do? That is the question” the boy rambled as Drew nuzzled into his neck. It was a nice feeling, being so close to him. But it did make the boy’s blush more apparent. He didn’t know what to say at this point, till his friend looked back at him, with a goofy grin. ”I smell, what?” the boy wrinkled his nose innocently, before shaking his head at his friend’s goofiness. ”You’re strange” he teased, looking away, as his cheeks were still flushing with red.

Good he grinned. then ive succeeded in something today. he said, glad to have cured a little bit of his friends bored ness. He smiled at him watching as he played with the edge of his hoodie. He had always noticed the way his friend fidgeted but never said anything. he figured it was just the way he was since he always seemed to be that way. drew always though it was when he was around people like maybe it was his shyness he never would have thought that he did it more so around him because of possible feelings. He was blind to a lot of that not just because of his denial to his feelings for another guy but also because he just really didnt think his friend could like him that way. He personally thought hunter deserved the world and someone that was worthy of his awesomeness and he honestly didnt even think he was good enough for his friend. Drew wasnt a person that thought ill of himself but when it came to hunter he just really didnt think he was good enough for him. Actually he didnt think anyone was, but he knew he had to keep an open mind in case anyone showed interest. Hunter deserved someone and even if no one would ever match good enough in drews eyes he had to allow at least someone.

Drew gave hunter his best pout face. Im not lame... he blinked innocently at him. Im a funny funny duuude. he nodded and then smirked. Drew laughed at hunters ticklishness but didnt stop. whats the magic word bro? he asked as he continued. He liked the sound of his friends laugh and he was hoping the tickling would bring it out even more. He was a loser he knows but he cant help it. Making hunter happy always made him feel really good. It was strange how easily happy it made him to know he could do that for his friend. Especially since his friend wasnt normally like that.

Drew laughed lightly as hunter rambled. He lifted his head some pulling his hand away. daw.. you look adorable like that. he teased about him blushing before returning his face to his neck. That is the question.. he sighed. I dont know.. my minds like.. so crazy right now but i cant think of anything solid. he lifted his head to look at him. is there anything particular youd like to do? he asked reaching out to ruffle hunters hair.

Drew grinned watching his friend as the blush became more apparent. You smell goooood. he drug out the last word. he mmd and shrugged popping another worm in his mouth. Strange people rock. Maybe thats why you're so awesome. he winked at him, offering him the worms again.

[neko2]

Hunter could never be bored with his friend around. They always had figured out something to do together, even if it were something stupid. It was a great way to feel less bored. Plus he always felt he had more fun with his friend, than anyone else he knew. Perhaps it was because he could be himself around him. In fact, that was it was mostly likely was. A natural smile was always held on the boy’s lips when he was around him, a sign of his ease around him. That said, the boy was prone to the odd blush...when his feelings would threaten to get in the way. It was more frequent now, all this thinking.

But he couldn’t say anything, that would be a stupid move, as he couldn’t risk losing the best friend he ever had. Because he would more than likely laugh in his face, so Hunter had thought. Though it was difficult, especially when his friend would be so close to him. ”sure you Drew, you keep telling yourself that” he teased with a cheeky grin, peering up from fiddling with his sleeves.

Hunter would say he was pretty fidgety, and a little bit on the ticklish side too. He couldn’t stop squirming as his friend continued to tickle him. His cheeks flushed as he couldn’t stop giggling. ”Please! Please Drew, you k-kn-o-w I’m t-t-ic-kl-ish!” he managed to spurt out, hands clamping over his pink cheeks. His friend’s comment only made him blush more, for what he thought was no reason. It was getting worse, especially today. And he hated that. Though..it was cute? He had thought he had looked like an idiot. And he kept that mentality as Hunter shook his head in disagreement, as he let the blush fade, his eyes glazing to the ground briefly in embarrassment ”nu uh” he replied quietly, reaching to fiddle with his camera again as his friend spoke.

”Um not really. We could go out for a bit? See a film or something? I can’t think, though i don’t wanna stay here all day” Hunter suggested, tugging at his sleeve, unable to look his friend in the eye. ”I don’t, I smell, normal?” the boy said wrinkling his nose again, with a little chuckle.

”Pft if I’m awesome, you must be...amazing then” he grinned, taking another gummy worm out of the pack, nibbling on it slowly, kind of like a hamster..or a puppy.
