SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sal stood in front of the building, looking very upset. His parents didn't pay him much attention, and when they did it was always bad news. You can't get that Xbox. We're cutting your allowance until your grades get up. You can't date that girl... we're moving... you're moving. It was all leading up to this, he figured. Before they finally got rid of him. The look of upset shifted to disgust as he pulled his suitcase out of the taxi. He pulled the bag up the driveway before thumping on the doorway. "....uh... hey, anyone home....?" He called out gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Andrew stood up from the table where he was working on bits of machinery. He hurried over to the front door, almost tripping over his cat that was sprawled out on the floor. The scruffy animal meowed in protest and he gently pushed her out of the way with his foot. He opened the door and smiled at the boy on his doorstep. "Hey, you must be Sal." He offered his hand to shake "I'm Andrew, it's nice to meet you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 He didn't smile back. He seemed to let off a very strong vibe of disinterest and just scorn for this place. He looked at the hand and put his own hand over it, more interested in just how big the other's hands were in comparison to his own then actually shaking. He shook anyways though, nodding a tiny bit. "Yeah... nice to meet you too." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Andrew could tell that Sal didn't want to be there, it made perfect sense and he just hoped that the boy would grow to like it. He grabbed Sal's bag and pulled it inside. "Come on, I'll show you where you'll be staying" he said cheerfully, carrying the bag through the house. It was very clean, Andrew had done his best to prepare his house for Sal. He brought him to a plain looking bedroom and set the bag down. "It's not very interesting, but if you want to put up posters or something like that I don't mind" he sighed softly and pushed his hair out of his face.

SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sal seemed oddly careful about walking in the house. It wasn't his- as far as he was concerned it would never be- so he didn't want to mess up the other's living conditions. He examined the walls and the rooms best he could while walking behind the other. He liked looking at other people's houses, particularly where they put things like their TV and keys. It was cool to see when someone positioned the tv just perfectly so they could watch from the special spot on the kitchen or another room. Sal nearly ran into Andrew when he stopped, peaking into the bedroom. It was... dull. Whatever. He didn't bring posters, but he brought violently of paint and paper so he knew he could colour this place up. "Alright..." He said smoothly, walking in the room then flopping back on the bed. It was a long car trip, he was happy to lay down for a moment or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Andrew watched him lay down. "Is there anything in particular you want for dinner?" he asked, picking up the cat who had just wandered into the room. "I was planning on ordering takeout or something... But I really have no idea what you like" he was pretty nervous just by being around the boy, he knew how hard it must be for him and was doing his best not to make it any worst.

SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 He looked up and rolled onto his belly, shrugging a bit. "Uh... if you mean pizza, I like anything.... if you mean like Chinese I like tai-pei and orange chicken- or anything with broccoli. " He said, almost more to himself like he was thinking. He rested his head on the pillow sometime while he was talking, making him look super odd as he just was draped across the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 "alright, I'll just order pizza then... Let me know if you need to talk or anything" Andrew gave him a friendly smile before leaving the room. He pushed the door half closed with his foot and went to the kitchen. The cat started to squirm in his arms so he set her down on the floor before calling a pizza place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sal sat up a bit when he was gone. This didn't seem much like a punishment. The silence of the country might drive him insain, along with the solitude, but he could learn to live with it. Stretching out and getting onto his legs he looked around the room. One bed, a long dresser that doubled as a nightstand. A closet. And a desk. He made quick work of making the room his own, although he had no intention of breaking in any other part of the house, he wanted feel comfortable when he (didn't) slept at night. He set up his computer, lazily hung clothes, put art supplies and socks into drawers and laid out long pieces of paper on the floor for later purposes. After he had set everything up, he was about to get on the computer, but he heard the door being knocked on. He smiled, wondering if he always got the 'thirty minutes or it's free' deal around here.

Kotorichan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Andrew paid for the pizza and brought it to the kitchen. "Sal, dinner's here" he called to the boy, getting out a couple plates. He filled the cat's dish with kibbles and set another cat dish outside for his other cat. He had ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and two root beers to drink.

SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sal walked to the kitchen quietly. He usually ate in his room, but he figured he could live with eating in here. At least until he gained enough courage to ask if he could. It seemed aweful rude to. So he sat down, taking a napkin and a slice and started to chow down while the cat rubbed up against his leg. He nudged it with his foot gently, letting the cat attack and play with his foot. He looked at Andrew and opened his mouth a but, but couldn't really find the words to talk with. So, instead, he just took a swig a rootbeer. It was actually his second favourite soda, next to cream soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Andrew smiled at Sal and started to eat. "So... I guess we really don't know much about each other... Is there anything you want to know about me or anything you want to tell me about yourself?" he asked, trying his best to be friendly to the boy. He didn't want to force him to talk but hoped that they could at least exchange a few words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 He paused, not wanting to talk really. He'd like to believe it was because he was rebellious, above this guy and his annoying compassion, but he was actually very shy. He shook his head, looking down at his feet. "No... not really. I like your cat." He said quietly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 "Oh, yes. Sam's very sweet. I have another one named Nic, but he usually just wanders around outside" Andrew looked down at his plate for a moment. "Sal... I'm sure this whole situation is difficult for you, so if there's anything I can do to help you please tell me" he said gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Sal laughed a tiny bit. Sam and Nic... what dumb names for cats. He thought as watched the cat wander off. He looked back up. His eyes often looked dull like grass and dirt ground into mulch, but times like now for no apparent reason they shone like tiny emeralds. "Uh... N.. No, Thank you..." He said, spinning the bottle of root beer in his hands. He was uneasy, this was very new to him. The quiet. Having pets. And having an adult who wanted to more then yell at him. It was unsettling, but only because he wasn't use to it being so... nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Andrew nodded and smiled at him "okay, just let me know if you ever do" He stood up and gathered the plates. "You'll be starting your new school tomorrow, I can drive you or you can take the bus." He loaded up the dish washer and turned back to Sal. "You'll be meeting with the counselor and getting your schedule at eight." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 He nodded, frowning a bit. "Mnn... my mom says she's sending home school stuff... But okay..." He said, chewing on his pizza. Apparently he was 'unfit' for 'the social standard of high school'. He didn't know, he didn't particularly care either way. He'd either be bored in seclusion or bored in a high school.

Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Andrew frowned "do you really want to be homeschooled? It seems like you would just get bored and lonely if you were stuck here with me" he laughed nervously. "if you went to school I bet you could make some good friends..." he watched Sal, he really wanted to help the boy but he wasn't really sure what to do.

SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 He looked at him. He didn't fit in in the city, where dark clothes and boy with earrings were normal (not that he had a piercing). Here in the middle of swine country he was sure he'd stand out. Not in a good way. The black was surely a fine target in this sunshine town. He shrugged, messing with his plate. He shrugged.

Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Andrew sighed softly. "alright... Let me know if you end up having a preference. I don't really mind either way" he smiled slightly. "is there anything you want to do tonight? Or should I just leave you alone so you can settle in a bit?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 "Uh, no, I don't think there's anything..." Be said, standing, rolling the bottle of root beer in his hands. He picked up the paper plate, looking around. He didn't know where the trash can was. He looked back at Andrew, a slightly lost look on his face. "Uh..."

Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 "oh, here" Andrew took the plate and threw it away in the trash can under the sink. "well, I should probably to some work." he stretched and sighed "I'll be in the back yard if you need anything... There are drinks in the fridge, so help yourself to anything. Except there's a couple beers, you can't have those" he chuckled softly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFloatsFlats Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 He paused, nodding, before backing into his room. He kinda liked that guy, he seemed chill. At least he didn't seem to scream alot. It wasn't very late... But he was ready to sleep. He laid down, rolling his back off the edge of the bed while he drank his soda upside down. Some got on his clothes, but he ignored it as he rolled over and went to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
