nonchalant compliance, he figured was as good as anything. It was still different from a flat out rejection. He’d had plenty of those. And even through the obvious indifference in the other boy, Isaac found an excuse to smile. To cound this moment, however small, as one of the rare wins he could have in the year. He was right after all ─ new kids didn’t last very long here. And if he was smart, it would be better to cut his losses now and move on.
Obviously, he wasn’t.
He figured, it would be some nice change, at the least. To know there was one other person at school that didn’t mind if he sat beside them or not.
Fingers combed through his curly hair; trying to unravel the right words to make what he thinks make sense without it being creepy. Maybe Stefan would understand. Maybe even he felt it too. That knowing feeling of standing in front of the same mirror reflecting the same thing. But he bit his tongue and swallowed it.
Shrugging instead.
“ Dunno. Maybe I just like you. “
Even after he said it, he wasn’t sure if that was worse or better. But at least it was slightly true.
𝗡𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 thrown out and about , strung with indifference towards the creeping anxiety that slides upwards within stefan’s chest ; one step closer to choking him from the confusion and fear muddled in the back of his throat. ‘ maybe ’ pertains to uncertainty , one he hates and accustomed to , while ' like ’ associates with the blooms ‘pon cheek and wrath faced in weeks.

marvel au where neil hides the fact he’s the son of a prominent anti-human psychopath ( other than magneto , shocker! ) and keeps running off until he ends up in wymack’s school for the broken and the damned lmfao i’m so sorry. but hey, the concept’s there.
stefan , dealing with @scarfwere :
neil / nathaniel , dealing with isaac :

he had never travelled before in his life, cooped up only in stifling corners of black rooms and choking smell of blood in dark rooms, until a few months later have seen him in SWEDEN. overwhelming than baltimore and its woods, with bustling crowds and big bricked houses and having nowhere familiar to run to; and yet, he finds familiarity in the dark at the back of a truck, with sharp and cold metal promising hurt by the men who drove it somewhere.
‟ ... ❜ he stayed still behind crates, smelling gunpowder and high risks of uncertainty especially as with every bump on the road, he can only hear the wild racing of his heart and the heat of his mother’s palm on his cheeks. careless, reckless, useless —— surely by now with the reminders of the tip of his father’s wrath on his skin, alex would’ve learned a hell of a curve.
unfortunately, getting separated on their first international getaway is unintentionally not on his list; and hopefully, the german words drilled into him before they get there is enough to keep him alive. before then, escaping capture from an accidental kidnapping - - alex made sure not to make a trace of life when he chose this as a hiding spot - - is the topmost priority. honestly, he should’ve checked the truck first if there’s someone in there before he jumped in to hide ... STUPID !
