Nice Guys Finish Last

((I doubt I'll be back at school tomorrow, Fullmetal. Sorry TwT))

"Mom, don't you have to go the grocery and get the stuff for dinner?" Scott mentioned, directing the conversation away from him. "I think you should get going now if you want come back soon."

((Ok then. Maybe I'll make cookies or something. :/))

((THANKS FOR REMINDING ME. I NEED COOKIE DOUGH.))

"All right, you two, I'm leaving now!" Bianca said, hugging both Scott and Ethan. "Have fun! I should be back in about an hour or so, so get it all out of your system before I come back!"

"Ciao, Mama!" Scott called after his mother when she left. He turned to Ethan. "Look, I'm sorry, she got kind of excited. You're the first person I've had over my house since sixth grade."

"...That's not the kind of thing you tell the guy that is lusting after you, but it's okay, because that does not affect how attractive you are in my eyes." Ethan said, wrapping one arm around Scott's shoulders and grinning at him.

"So, you're just lusting after me, huh? I knew what you said about me being unique was a total lie, anyway," Scott said, shrugging off Ethan's arm. "But at least I'm still attractive. Gee, thanks."

"No, I'm in love with you," Ethan deadpanned, raising a single eyebrow, "would you prefer that?"

"If you said it with some emotion behind it, then yeah, I'd prefer that," Scott answered. "Being liked for who I am instead of being liked for how I look makes me feel better."

((You are one pathetic little boy... I should be nicer to him.))

"So, can I come in?" He asked again
"Just for a little bit."
