Findings – Outtake 2
1 month later
Jasper and Edward leave the restaurant hand in hand, ignoring any rude stares. For as long as they can remember, no one ever paid them any mind. But now that they are together, holding hands and giving chaste kisses here and there, they notice people watching them. Some even with disdainful looks.
But they don't let it get to them. All the years of being ignored taught them to ignore right back.
Usually after their dates they go their separate ways for the night. Tonight, however, Edward invited Jasper to his apartment. He wasn't ready for the evening to end and here they could be alone without the stares.
Edward excuses himself to use the bathroom when they walk in and he tells Jasper to make himself at home.
Jasper walks around admiring the small apartment. It seemed to be two bedrooms, but he didn't explorer enough to be positive. He looked around the living room and kitchen, noting how clean the place looked.
As he makes his way to sit on the couch, a board leaning in a corner catches his eye. Curious, he walks over to it pulling it back to see what it was.
Jasper's breath catches when he sees his name across the top. He turns it in his hands and looks over what appears to be a science project. He recognizes the lyrics in the middle of the board. They were the ones he picked to sing to Edward, to see if singing to him would bring them together. Jasper didn't think it was working, but maybe it did more than he thought.
He smiles at the pages that rule out the possibility that he was looking at someone other than Edward, as if that were even possible, and display graphs. How did he even come up with graphs? Jasper's thoughts are interrupted by footsteps coming up behind him and Edward's strangled voice.
"Jazz?"
Jasper drops the board and leans it back against the wall before turning to face his beautiful boy. Edward's cheeks are tinted pink and he is looking down, shuffling from foot to foot. Jasper smiles at his embarrassed boyfriend and steps forward a little. "I forgot that was out here. I'm sorry. You must think I'm a creep."
"I told you before that you're not a creep. It's actually kind of endearing." A shy smile crept up Edward's face as he looked back up to Jasper through his dark eyelashes.
"I just couldn't throw it away. It reminds me of the week you sang to me, and how sweet you are. I threw out the papers, but the poster meant too much to me. Because you mean so much to me." Jasper finishes closing the distance and takes Edward in his arms, burying his face in his boy's neck and breathing in his clean scent.
"You mean a lot to me too Edward." He really wanted to say more, but thought it best not to push Edward too fast. Jasper really was growing to love his nerdy boy.
