Best night ever. DEFRANCO does Chicago

"--You are home. Where ever you are, I'll be happy to be right there. Even if that involves eating dinner with scary people." A chaste kiss is pressed against the other blonde's lips. Jo, for once, was telling the truth. He was happy. He was so increadibly happy to be with Aaron, always.

Aaron bumped his nose against Jo’s, enjoying the warmth brought with their close proximity. “And, what if I were outside? I think you would gladly step outside. Or, would you? Would you abandon me to the elements and keep my cozy home to yourself?” He dramatically, teasingly questioned. The hardships of the day were finally, slowly rolling from his shoulders as he sunk further and further into the couch.

{ Little fingers found the hem of his shirt, pulling at the cloth anxiously. He'd seen the scars? Panic coursed through his veins, darting everywhere but the other's face. Shame, complete and utter disgust with himself came with the mention of the pinkish lines and burns that ran along his midsection, memories making him sick to his stomach. Maybe he wasn't that hungry afterall. }

"--I...it's nothing."

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

{ Jo is shocked by the question as he’s never actually thought about it before. He’s never really needed to— love was not something he had to worrying about day to day. Especially when ‘living’ was a concern that took up the most space in his mind. }

"—I’m not sure. Why do you ask?"

[jxbarker]

Jo shook his head a little at the other's statement. "I lived most of my life outside, if I never set foot outside this apartment again, I wouldn't complain." The littler boy leaned his forehead against Aaron's, letting out a long sigh. When he was this close to the other, everything seemed to be okay, and all his worries crumbled like dust in the wind. "Especially with you here.

"—As weird as it sounds, I like cleaning. There’s something very…calming about it. I think a lot when I clean." The blonde sat up then, settling on the other’s lap and draping his arms around the other’s pale neck. "Going outside, especially after recent events, kinda scares me a little. People scare me in general."

[jxbarker]

"--I don't know what you just said, but I liked it."

{ Shyness suddenly pushed through his body and he dropped his gaze downward again. He was blushing then. Honestly, Jo always had a soft spot for people who could speak in other languages. It was beautiful. }

"--London is disgusting. Maybe I only say that because of my expirience there, but it a city full of shit."

“—That’s why you sound French.”

{ A smile pulled at the corner of his lips, thumb rubbing the clothed dip in his partner’s hip just a little. Yes, he was shorter than the Canadian, but somehow he felt as if they were eye to eye, the music moving there bodies in perfect sync. It was almost like they were melting into one singular being. }

"—I’m from London.”

[jxbarker]

{ The walk to the restaurant was a quiet one, with only a few words thrown back and forth. Jo was nervous-- very much so, but the offer of food was too great to pass up. They pushed inside, and after a few more words, they were being ushered to a table. With a sigh, he began to pull his hoodie over his head. It happened in an instant, his shirt pulled up exposing the mutilated flesh beneath it, before falling back in it's place. }

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

{ Jo is shocked by the question as he’s never actually thought about it before. He’s never really needed to— love was not something he had to worrying about day to day. Especially when ‘living’ was a concern that took up the most space in his mind. }

"—I’m not sure. Why do you ask?"

[jxbarker]

{ Had Jo not been starving, he would have immediately refused the offer. But now, with two days on an empty stomach, he found his mouth moving with out his brain's permission to do so. }

"--O-Okay."

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

{ Jo is shocked by the question as he’s never actually thought about it before. He’s never really needed to— love was not something he had to worrying about day to day. Especially when ‘living’ was a concern that took up the most space in his mind. }

"--I'm from London."

It was surprising that he was being questioned, that someone who was dancing with him cared enough to know the answer. Though he did not show the surprise, his face instead impassive, only the slightest furrowing of his brows to suggest that anything was out of the ordinary. He could not help but hope that this was the blonde’s way of getting to know him, that perhaps this magnetic energy that he imagined was flowing between them was not only felt by him. Perhaps the other felt it too, wanted to know him as well. It was a long shot, but the hope was there.

"Not too far away. I’m from Montréal, haven’t really ever travelled too far."

[jxbarker]

"--Yes, talk. Where are you from?"

{ He was genuinely curious about this boy. Jonah wanted to know everything, every little grading detaile about Frankie's life until there was nothing more to tell. He needed to know. Then, tomorrow, he would be able to go back to living on the streets with the picture of this boy in his mind with the facts to back up that this night was, in fact, real and not a dream. }

He felt the shiver against his body. As closed as they were pressed, how could he not? He could feel everything, nerves practically on fire from the sensation of touch. He shouldn’t have thought anything of it, should have assumed it was from displeasure rather than pleasure, after all, that was how things usually went. But he couldn’t help but fall into the same trap he always did, couldn’t help but hope that it  was a sign that this was a welcomed dance, that touch was wanted.

"I don’t know either. But talking… we can talk?"

[jxbarker]

{ Jo frowns-- there's something a little off about this guy, and he's not so sure what it is. Blue eyes scan the boy's shape, scrutinizing nervously. He may be a little nieve, but he's not nieve enough to get himself stuck in a situation he can't handle.

"--I don't have any money."

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

{ Jo is shocked by the question as he’s never actually thought about it before. He’s never really needed to— love was not something he had to worrying about day to day. Especially when ‘living’ was a concern that took up the most space in his mind. }

"—I’m not sure. Why do you ask?"

[jxbarker]

{ Standing so close to the brunette, his scent is caught in Jo's nose and a little shiver racks through his tiny frame. It's a wonderful smell, and he has to fight all the muscles in his body not to lean in and breathe him in. Trying to clear his head, he brings his eyes to meet Frankie's, though his cheeks are still a little pink. }

"--Can I be honest with you? I really have no idea what I'm doing. I just-- I wanted to talk. J-Just a little."

He knew how to do this, had danced plenty of times before, in clubs, at parties, even just for the hell of it. But that didn’t mean that Frankie felt at ease with this, that he felt like he knew what he was doing, like he could in any way do this and not make a fool of himself. He so desperately wanted, for once, not to fuck up, not to end up making an ass of himself. And that made his movements hesitant and awkward as he reached up, letting his arms come up and drape around Jo’s neck, face flushing scarlet as he felt the hand on his hip.

"Fine. It’s, er, it’s fine. Nice."

[jxbarker]

{ Something special about him? Did he smell again? Not so nonchalantly, He sniffs the inside of his shirt and frowns. No, no, he smells just fine. But now he is completely confused. }

"--Me? Jonah. Jonah Barker."

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

{ Jo is shocked by the question as he’s never actually thought about it before. He’s never really needed to— love was not something he had to worrying about day to day. Especially when ‘living’ was a concern that took up the most space in his mind. }
