((We're so wonderfully lame ;P))
Ben watched him. It was always so obvious to when when Sebastian was thinking. "You, uh, can stay the night...Your sister, too. Emma'd like that."

((I'm at peace with that fact! I have no group social skills whatsoever.  )) Sebastian stared at him. "Why would we...nah, we should get home soon." It was already getting dark. He rolled the cigarette between his fingers for a moment, thinking. "Clara could, maybe." This was getting weird. Okay, it had been weird from the start. He wondered if he should say something about said weirdness, but decided to just sit back and let things happen, which was, in fact, his response to most weird situations. That or run, and they weren't at the run stage yet. |

((And also, yay Tag's back! Let the drama resume!))
He only nodded. "Clara could." He turned and faced forward, tossing his cigarette away and frowning down at his shoes as he moved the swing back and forth idly. It was always so much easier for everybody else. Easier to figure out if you had a chance with someone. Because it was easier to assume they weren't than assume they were. And Ben was.

((YES! I just noticed and was like, "Aaahh, how long has Tag been back!?" I've been living in this thread for hours. ^_^
Also, this is kind of hilarious because both of them are so unlikely to take the initiative. <3))
Awkward silence. Never good. He kicked at a Coke can on the ground and watched it roll away. "So what do your parents do? For work? I mean, the hours must be pretty crazy, if they're never home."

((I love them, they make me happy <3))
"Mom's a hospice nurse, so her hours are all over the place. Pop's works two jobs, sometimes three. He's working with a trucking company now, so he's somewhere between here and California." He glanced over at him, just so he could have an excuse to look at him.

((Same  ) Sebastian returned the glance, still kicking at the dirt and holding a burnt-out cigarette stub. "My dad kind of...left. When I was twelve." He usually just told people his parents got divorced. Divorce was normal. 'My dad walked out on us' was melodramatic and angsty and only happened on this side of town. But here he was, telling it like it actually happened. Go figure. "I mean, he still pays child support and everything. And my mom's family is full of big-shot politicians, so she inherited a ton of money. And, like...influence." Which was a very bad thing, for reasons he certainly could not explain. |

Ben nodded. "Guess I'm a little lucky that way. Don't have to worry so much about impressing people. Or disappointing them. My parents are...okay. With me. And my, uh, my decisions. Or whatever."

"You're definitely lucky," he said, staring at Ben a while without meaning to. When he noticed what he was doing, he immediately looked at the ground. "I, uh, should head back. Or we should. To your place. I mean, I've gotta get my car, and see what Clara wants to do."

Ben swallowed a little roughly. "You, uh...you sure? We--we don't have to go yet..." He winced, realizing how desperate he must sound, and he kicked a rock.

Sebastian had a sudden paranoid idea that this was all a set-up. That someone--Lena, maybe--had hired Ben to frame him, and was hiding in the bushes to snap a money shot of Sebastian Pearson kissing a guy, which would, of course, be plastered all over Facebook by tomorrow morning.
After he acknowledged that this idea was insane, the uneasy feeling still lingered. Even if it wasn't a set-up, it hardly mattered. He had too many other secrets, worse than kissing guys, that were bound to come up if anything happened here. "No, we, uh...we really should, though." He got up, nervously crushing the cigarette stub to bits in his hand.

Ben frowned, but got up. "Fine." He muttured mostly to himself, "Not like I expected any different."

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, frowning--because really, for all his educated guesses, he kind of wanted to know for sure what the hell was going on here.

Ben glared down at the ground. "Come on, you seriously can't be that dense." He sighed, raking a hand through his hair. "Fuck, and I was so sure, too!" He'd been observing him long enough to feel like he'd gotten it right. Apparently not.

At that, he actually had to smirk a little. "Look, I didn't say you were wrong about anything. I just said I have to get home."

That made him stop, and he lifted his head to blink at him. "I--what?"
