"I look great, right?" Simon hastily quipped, forcing a laugh at his own lame attempt at joking.

He ( knows ) he looks rough. Take that, double it, and that's how he actually feels. https://t.co/haHbMODpty

||: I've been listening to kiss the boy all morning like wow kieynan is so talented I'm still shook

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

"Me? Oh, yeah. Totally.
It's all good in the hood."

Cringe.

He's not okay.
He's been awake for roughly 22 hours.
Help this boy. https://t.co/Toh3YsMNlu

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

Cue a slow shift of mocha hues, inhaling slowly; prior to exasperated muttering.

"-- hey, Bram." https://t.co/b50nDh9LJa

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@goodatbdays -- wouldn't be easy. No matter what.

In a typical routine, he'd follow Leah to her room, surpassing an argument muted by hallow walls.

"So, what's the selection this time?

Please, no more bad slasher films. It's my dying wish."

@goodatbdays Simon had grown rather accustomed to his friend's homelife; not that he would ever enjoy the atmosphere that she endured, however. On some occasions, he'd even offered his own home; 'we could get a bunkbed, and everything', he'd proposed.

Of course, ditching your own family --

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

Rubs at his temples, faintly grumbling.

Storms equal no sleep.

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

He's here.

Wants to drive off of a cliff.

But, alas, he's ( here ).

[P!ATD LYRICS @patdlyricsbot_]

I swear to God, I'd never heard a better sound coming out then when you're whimpering my name from your mouth

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@oreobrams -- it's romantic, then I'm doing something right . . . . . ( right )?"

That smile. It was bright enough to light the empty streets throughout the entirety of the night.

No crevice left darkened.

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

The time between messages seemed agonizingly long, even though it was only a few minutes max.

Why was he so anxious? It was just a simple conversation.

[ To: Bram,
Same old, same old. Up to my neck in homework ]

Before pressing send, Simon paused.

"No, no. That's so lame," -- https://t.co/CkdPyJYY2H

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@oreobrams "Hopelessly romantic, maybe."

And boy . . . did he mean ( hopeless ).

Simon was the type that secretly freaked out over Nicholas Sparks movies; and maybe the occasional novel.

A total, pathetic, sobbing mess.

He gets it from his dad.

"But hey, if you think --

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@goodatbdays -- Simon lazily draped an arm around Leah's shoulder, leaning into the teen.

"You know me so well. It's ( almost ) like you're my best friend or something."

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@goodatbdays -- haired brunette relied upon himself just as much.

Otherwise, a one-sided friendship would be ( slightly ) awkward, and he'd feel desperate.

"Lame movies and an abundance of tooth-decaying, frozen sugar.
Sounds like the night of a lifetime."

In a friendly manner, --

||: oops, I dropped my mood.

I'll be back in a bit--!!

[P!ATD LYRICS @patdlyricsbot_]

I think how many drinks I've had, no more in either hand. I'm slurring on purpose and it's certainly worth it

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@straightbestie He has broken rules before.

Once, he missed his curfew by eight minutes.

Technically, it was only five.

The other three he spent sitting in his car, building up the courage to face his parents after arriving late.

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@oreobrams -- romantic one, at that."

Of course, Simon didn't actually think that; but the card was in his hand, so he may as well play it.

As lame as it may be.

[sɪᴍᴏɴ. @ClosetedJacques]

@oreobrams He never claimed to be good at flirting.

Clearly, it ( showed ).
Fortunately, he could've said worse; comparing your crush to a royal ogre couldn't possibly be that bad, right?

Well . . . to be determined.

"Hey, just a suggestion.

I thought it was a pretty --
