Red and Black – Chapter 10

In which Scott is a smother hen and the shade of Putin's house is disgusting, seriously I've been there…

To his family, Gordon had changed in recent days; he was happier and healthier, and even smiled way more than usual. Of course, none of them knew the real reason why. Scott however, wanted to know; something wasn't right. It wasn't that it displeased him to see Gordon happy, it was that it seemed so strange for him to change so much in the space of a single week. He needed a way to get something out of Gordon, a shred of evidence that would lead him to the source of Gordon's sudden content.

Gordon wasn't concerned at this point, he waited eagerly for the two weeks to pass; he and Tim texted each other endlessly and Gordon soon discovered that Tim was a selfie king. He always managed to have perfect light, no matter where he was; and always managed to get pictures at the most ridiculous angles of the weirdest things. One morning Gordon woke up to a selfie of Tim outside Putin's house inside the Kremlin with the caption 'look at this shade of yellow.' He texted back saying 'Hey Putin, the 80's called; they want their shade of vomit back.' But despite this they were conscious of each other's location and were cautious to only call each other when they absolutely couldn't be heard by anyone. This usually resulted in Gordon going to the other end of the island at random times due to their punishing time differences. This also resulted in Scott trying to find a way to follow him without being seen, but keeping himself covered within hearing distance was a challenge; and only managed to hear of few words of the conversations every so often.

"We should egg it!" He heard, but who the hell is he talking to?

"That's an actual thing? I need to see this!" Scott was no closer to working anything else, he risked his position by edging forward, trying to get closer; but he heard a twig snap beneath him. Shit, shit, shit. He definitely heard that. Oh god, he's gunna see me and I've got no excuse to get out of this one. And he was right, Gordon darted around to look at the direction of the noise; and not only did he heard the twig, but he almost certainly felt someone else's presence.

"Someone's here, I have to go babe." Babe? Holy crap has he got a girl? Who is she?

He looked through the long grass of the jungle to see Gordon walking around the clearing, Scott dared not move; lest Gordon heard him. He closed his eyes for a moment and prayed that he wouldn't be found, only to then open them and see Gordon's shoes directly in front of him.

"What the hell, Scott?" He stood up with a shameful look on his face and looked at Gordon straight in the eye and gave up all hope.

"I literally do not have a good explanation for this one." And now I'll just walk off the nearest cliff, bye.

"You followed me to listen in on who I was talking to, right?"

"Yep."

"And you're gunna be a smother hen until you find out more about it, right?" Gordon started walking back down the path to the house and waved for Scott to follow.

"Looks like it's story time, Scooter."

Sorry it's so short, I've been really unproductive for the last few days and I just needed to do something. I promise there will be more to this, and Scott might have a similar bomb to drop; but what could his secret possibly be?

Also would you guys mind terribly if I did a songfic style chapter at some point? I read a lot of them in the fandom but I've never actually written one, or should I just save it for a different fic entirely? Are there even rules on how you're supposed to use them?
