Chapter 12

AN: Ok so I was planning on saving this special song for a different scene. But I couldn't help using it for this one. I might use it on both, we'll just have to wait and see! On another note, you all are probably wondering what's going on with my other stories. Well I plan on finishing them up soon, hopefully before the show gets back on the 23, I think? Oh and p.s. the song they are listening to in the car is the same one.

Song: There's something about you

By: New radicals

8th night

Movies, continued

__

The two boys sat in the dark crowded theater. They sat further to the back than most people. Tyler had been used to sitting in the back of the theater. That's generally where people go to make-out at, Tyler would know. Jeremy on the other hand, always watched with his family or few friends. They always sat in the center towards the middle. Both boys decided to compromise. They sat in center, but farther back from the screen.

Neither boys paid attention to each other. Their eyes glued onto the screen. Tyler had reached his hand in to grab some popcorn. Jeremy had unconsciously done the same. When their hands touched for a brief moment, Tyler quickly pulled away. Jeremy hadn't noticed, but Tyler continued to obsess about it in his mind.

Shit! Dammit! What was that? We touched hands! Oh god! It's like something from a stupid movie. Why am I freaking out? Did Jeremy notice? Nah, he's too fixated on the stupid movie. Thank god.

A loud sound echoed from the movie as the audience jumped up in fright. Jeremy was also one of the many who jumped back. Tyler was startled as well, but not by the movie, but because Jeremy had placed his hand on Tyler's. It probably wasn't intentional, but Tyler couldn't bring himself to pull away this time. He could feel his heart beating and his throat drying up. Jeremy finally took his hand away. Tyler took the chance to catch his breath.

"Wow that was a great movie."

"Uh. Ya, I guess it was."

"You weren't even paying attention to half of it, Tyler."

"And how do you know?"

"I have my ways."

"Sure."

They got in the car and drove home, arguing about the movie the whole time. Jeremy has an interest in vampires, while Tyler has an interest for werewolves. The debated on which was more awesome. Tyler couldn't stand arguing anymore, so he just stops and let Jeremy win this argument. Tyler tries to change the station, at the same time that Jeremy reaches out to change it as well. Their ands touched again for the third time. This time both boys were aware of the contact. Awkwardly, the song "Something about you" was playing. Jeremy pull his hand away, letting Tyler have control of the radio. Tyler scrambles to try to change the awkwardly perfect song that was playing. Just his luck, the radio was acting up and wouldn't let him change the station. They were stuck listening to the song as the drove home in silence.

They were both standing at Jeremy's front door. Tyler didn't know why he was out there. He could have just stayed in the car and dropped Jeremy off. He didn't though; the fact was he did walk Jeremy to his door. The both had their eye locked on one another. Neither of them knew what to say. Jeremy was the first to break the silence as usual.

"Uh. I had fun."

"Me, too."

"We should to this again, sometime."

"Uh, ya."

"Hey, next time how about I choose what we should do."

"Didn't you choose the movie though?"

"Ya. But it was your idea first. I just want to do something that I like. You know, step into my world for once."

"Ya. How about a rain check on that. I'm gonna be busy tomorrow."

"How about the day after?"

"Sure."

"Ok."

In a normal situation, Tyler would be kissing the girl he just ended the date with. Jeremy wasn't a girl, and this wasn't a date. Tyler wasn't even thinking about it, but their bodies were closer than they should be. Maybe deep down unconsciously Tyler wanted to, and maybe Jeremy did too. Deep in their eyes, they both were longing for something to reassure them about this relationship. Was it just friendship, or had it become something more? If they kissed, would it mean something? That's something they would never know, as Jeremy turned and walked inside his house. Tyler had gotten into his car. The radio was still stuck on the oldies romance station. Tyler slammed the radio off as the Disney song "Kiss the girl" was playing. It had been a strange night. It was fun, but was it enough?

AN: I know I'm evil and should have added the first kiss in this scene! But I have better plans for these two in the future! This was actually one of my favorite scenes, maybe because of the song choice, but I was so happy when I wrote it.
