The sun was hot as it shone down on the boys. It sparkled down to them through the leaves of the trees, allowing little beams of light to reach pale teenager and his friend. Their hands were laced together, something that they only did in private. Orange and Black together in the mid-summer heat made them look terrible out of place around others, but together they felt like they belonged.

The only sound you could hear was the wind rustling the leaves and branches on the trees. There was also a much quieter sound of music that was leaking out of the well-used earbuds. A sigh rippled through the pleasant mix of noises, "Do you think anyone will find us up here?" Lucien asked, his deep voice sent a wave of pleasure through the younger teenager.

"Probably not," Ernest breathed, his voice was almost at the same beat as the music. His thumb ran along the other's overly pale knuckles. "I can't wait for school to end."

"Me too," Lucien breathed, his eyes closed and they became quiet when the song began to become more and more serious. Lucien felt himself begin to sing along, disturbing the silence that they had fallen into. The song finished and the young teenager's heart clenched when his favorite song began to play.

"When they called me broken, I knew

When they called me evil, I knew

When they called me ruin, I knew

I would always find my way to you

When I beg forgiveness, they knew

When I beg for mercy, they knew

When I beg for nothing, they knew

I would always find my way to you

My name is ruin, my name is vengeance

My name is no one, no one is calling

My name is ruin, my name is heartbreak

My name is loving, but sorrows and darkness

My name is ruin, my name is evil

My name's a war song, I sing you a new one

My name is ruin, my name is broken

My name is shameless, I'll tear you wide open

When I called you poison, you knew

When I called you shameful, you knew

When I called you a liar, you knew

I would always find my way to you

I'll show you ruin, I'll show you vengeance

I'll show you no one, and no one is calling

I'll show you ruin, I'll show you heartbreak

I'll show you loving, and sorrow and darkness

I'll show you ruin, I'll show you evil

I'll sing you a war song, I'll sing you a new one

I'll show you ruin, I'll show you broken

I'll show you shameless, I'll tear you wide open."

"Your voice is so beautiful," Ernest whispered, moving closer and closer to his best friend. The earbuds almost fell out of his ear when he bent in an unnatural way to rest on Lucien's shoulder.

"I don't like it," he shook his head, his silvery hair fell down onto the grass. They were silent for a moment, just reveling in the pleasant silence. "Everything seems to be so hectic back at school. I hate it."

"Isn't that why we're here, instead of there?" Ernest asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah," Lucian said, letting out a small laugh of his own. He moved his hand off of his chest, falling down next to the two bodies. He could feel the heat coming off of his friend and it caused his breath to hitch in his throat. After another song had pumped through their earbuds, Ernest moved his pinky, wrapping it around Lucien's. The action caused both of their cheeks to light up into a bright scarlet hue, but they remained that way all the same.
