Blue and Ildon 3

Ildon sits outside the school in the grass, waiting for his mother to pick him up. He drums his fingers upon his violin case, humming to himself.
Blue heads from the school, swinging his cello slightly as he walks. He blinks a bit at the sight of Ildon, mming and calling out. "Hey Ildon!"
Ildon raises his eyes, smiling, "Hi!"
Blue stops as he approaches Ildon, smiling as well. "Just waiting again, hmm?"
Ildon nods, "Uh-huh...you going to meet your brother?"
Blue shakes his head a bit, "He's already headed home...."
Ildon blinks, "Oh?"
Blue nods, "..yeah. He gets to leave early because he's on crutches."
Ildon ohs, nodding, "So you have to walk home alone.."
Blue pushes back a bit of hair with his free hand, nodding once again, "Yeah..."'
Ildon hrms, "Well...if you'd like, momma and Rachael can give you a ride home. I'm sure they won't mind." '...and I wouldn't mind the company.'
Blue blinks, cocking his head slightly, "...really? You sure?"
Ildon nods, "Sure!" He smiles up at Blue, still seated in the grass.
Blue smiles, gently setting his instrument on the ground and taking a seat beside the other boy. "Thanks a lot.."
Ildon shakes his head, "Think nothing of it."
Blue smiles a bit more, stretching his arms and hmming, "So..."
Ildon watches Blue, waiting for him to finish his statement. Jeeze...he was pretty... He blushes a bit.
Blue shakes his head a bit, unsure of what to say. He glances at Ildon, blinking as he notices the slight blush.
Ildon looks down quickly, laughing meekly, "So...how was your day?""
Blue watches Ildon for a long moment before replying, "Fine, I suppose...and yours?"
Ildon smiles, "Long..."
Blue cocks his head slightly, "Oh?"
Ildon nods, "Uh-huh..."
Blue smiles a bit, "School always seems long.."
Ildon laughs, "Yes...yes it does."
Blue mms a bit, "..at least it's not extremely hard, though. Just pretty boring.."
Ildon glances at Blue, "It's pretty hard for me, at times."
Blue hms, "Is it? I can always help you, if you need it.."
Ildon smiles, "Really?"
Blue laughs a bit, nodding, "Yeah, of course."
Ildon smiles, "I'd really appreciate that.'
Blue smiles himself, "Just ask whenever you need help, then."
Ildon nods, "Alright..." As he speaks a black jeep pulls up near the curb. Ildon smiles, "C'mon. That's mom and Rachael."
Blue nods as well, standing and lifting up his large instrument by the handle.
Ildon pulls his bag over on shoulder as he walks to the car, opening up the door. He smiles, "Hi..Mom, do you mind if we give Blue," he indicates back at his companion, "A ride?"
Blue moves forward slightly, though not all the way up to the car, quietly awaiting Ildon's mother's response.
Ildon's mother smiles, nodding, "It's no problem at all. She is a lovely woman, young and lightly complected. The woman in the seat beside her, Rachael, has dark hair cut short and boyish. Ildon smiles, "Thanks..." He climbs in the back seat, beckoning Blue to do the same.
Blue nods a bit, moving and hopping in after sliding his cello down at where his feet would rest. "Thank you very much..."
She smiles, "You're very welcome...Blue, was it?" Ildon glances at Blue, wondering how long it would take the boy to notice the two women in the front were holding hands.
Blue nods, "Yes m'am...." He does do a slight double take as he notices the holding of hands, though it's not very obvious that he even noticed.
Ildon, however, notices Blue's action, stifling a giggle behind his hand. Rachael turns to look at Blue and Ildon, smiling, "Nice to see him with a friend," she comments.
Blue glances over to Ildon, "What's so funny..?"
Ildon shakes his head, managing to add through his laughter, "Nothin'." Rachel reaches over, ruffling the boy's hair and causing him to yelp, "I think it's more than nothing."
Blue crosses his arms a bit, pouting slightly, "Come on, tell me."
Ildon leans over whispering pertly into Blue's ear, "I saw the look on your face."
Blue stiffens slightly, a bit embarrassed. "...ah..."
Ildon shifts again, smirking a bit and brushing back a green lock. Rachael, meanwhile, has turned around and is talking with Ildon's mother.
Blue mentally scolds himself while looking ahead, glancing at Ildon for a moment.
Ildon's mother asks, "So, Blue, where are we taking you? You're welcome to come back with us for a while if you'd like." Ildon smiles a bit.
Blue blinks, looking over to Ildon for a moment, "Oh..um, it would be nice to go back with you, if I'm not intruding...."
Ildon beams, "Not at all..." She nods, "Alright then."
Blue smiles a bit, nodding, "Thank you.."
Ildon smiles to himself, holding his bag in his lap. He hugs it a bit. Blue...at his house...
Blue pushes back a loose strand of his hair, leaning back in his seat, smiling faintly.
Ildon beams, waiting. After a few moments they drive into a small apartment complex.
Blue hms quietly, glancing about in interest.
Ildon smiles, still hugging his bag in his lap. After the car is parked he starts to climb out, as do the other passengers.
Blue does the same, easily pulling his cello from the legroom.
The group moves toward a fairly large two-bedroom apartment, Ildon's mother starting to slip a key into the door.
Blue follows along quietly, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings.
Once inside, Ildon beckons Blue to follow him to his room, while the women depart to the kitchen.
Blue nods in acknowledgement to Ildon, still walking silently.
Once inside his room, Ildon closes the door behind them and seats himself upon his bed. The room is dimly lit by the half-open window and very tidy with a mysterious charm about it.
Blue looks around, gently setting his things along the wall. "Your room is nice..." he says, still looking around.
Ildon blinks, looking about, "I suppose..." He shrugs. It all seemed normal to him. But that only made sense.
Blue hms a bit, after a few moments seating himself on the ground, watching Ildon.
Ildon laughs a bit, "You don't have to sit on the floor."
Blue blinks, standing a moving over to the bed. He plops down beside Ildon, glancing at him and sticking out his tongue, "Better?"
Ildon smiles, "A bit."
Blue laughs, "So...uh..what shall we do?"
Ildon shrugs, "Whatever you want..."
Blue holds up his hands, "I have no idea..."
Ildon laughs, reclining on his bed, "Gee, we're decisive."'
Blue smiles, watching him, "...so...the one driving was your mom...? How's Rachael related to you? Your aunt or something..?"
Ildon grins, "Yeah. That's my mom. And no, Miss Rachael isn't my aunt..."
Blue cocks his head slightly, "...might I ask what she is to you...?"
Ildon smiles, "Miss Rachael is my mother's girlfriend."
Blue blinks...well, that explained the hand-holding.... "...ah, I see...." It's obvious he wasn't really expecting that.
Ildon frowns, "...are you upset..?"
Blue shakes his head a bit, "No, just slightly startled, is all..."
Ildon smiles meekly, "Oh..."
Blue shakes his head a bit, "People love who they love, and I guess it shouldn't really matter what gender they are...doesn't affect anyone else, anyways."
Ildon's cheeks gain the slightest shade of red. "...you're right."
Blue hms a bit, glancing off. Obviously, he can't notice the color of Ildon's cheeks..
Ildon averts his eyes, uncertain of where he should look... Eventually he stands, walking over to his small stereo and shifting and pressing a few buttons. Quietly Enya floods the room.
Blue stretches his arms above his head, mming quietly and closing his eyes for a moment, unsure of what to say next, if anything.
Ildon returns to his seat next to Blue. "Can I...ask you something?"
Blue opens his eyes, nodding a bit, "Yeah, sure."
"Have you ever had a girlfriend...?"
Blue blinks, shaking his head after a moment, "Nope..."
Ildon meekly raises his eyes, "How about ....a boyfriend?"
Blue watches Ildon, swallowing and feeling a blush rise on his cheeks. He abruptly shuts his eyes, "No.."
Ildon bites his lower lip, shrinking back, "S-Sorry...I shouldn't have.."
Blue says nothing for a moment, shaking his head, "..no, it's fine. Just two simple questions..."
"But it's too personal...sorry..." He bites his lower lip, fearing Blue's reaction to this.
Blue finally opens his eyes, "...I don't mind."
"....are you sure?"
Blue nods a bit, "Yeah...but..why do you ask?"
Ildon blushes quickly. He hadn't taken the hint...he hadn't taken the hint...
Blue watches Ildon, noticing the other boy's blush, even in the dim light. He leans forward slightly, "Well?"
Ildon sighs, shaking his head, "...n-no reason..."
Blue smiles faintly, blushing slightly and suddenly putting his arms about Ildon's waist and pulling him closer, "No reason?"
Ildon yelps, blushing intensely, "B-Blue!"
Blue still smiles, holding Ildon close, "..yeah?"
Ildon forces himself to relax, leaning back a bit into Blue and closing his eyes. He felt safe there... "Thanks."
Blue rests his head against Ildon's, closing his eyes as well, "..what for?"
Ildon blushes, uncertain of what to say. For being so nice to him? For understanding? For showing him some affection? ...or maybe for just being there.
Blue tightens his grip slightly, just because, and remains silent, only half-expecting an answer.
Ildon, after a long moment of thought, replies only, "For everything." He closes his eyes, remaining still in Blue's embrace.
Blue smiles slightly, mming a bit, "Ah...I'm glad I met you, Ildon..."
Ildon opens his eyes, looking up at Blue and brushing a green lock away from his eyes, "...I'm glad I met you too."
Blue's smile widens a bit, and he gives a quiet sigh, rather content.
