the next few days plank did as he said he would. Although he didn't see him much out of school, plank sat with jim every lunch. he would get his home packed lunch then without hesitation past the jock table and exit outside. He didn't have to look around cuz he knew the one he left his friends for would be waiting for him, which was a pretty damn good feeling. Plank would make sure to be quiet because the other would most of the time be doing homework or reading a book and he liked to watch him at times like these. Jim look so at peace. Like even though he was working to take in every bit of information he could , it still look so effortless. It wasn't until the other would notice plank would he be able to see those beautiful Jade eyes that hid under those long black eye lashes. Then he would see that smile, the one that was so bright that put the Sun to shame. If plank hadnt master the poker face he would be visibly melting. Plank watched Jim stand with his stuff. "Bout time you got here. the hill we go then?" Jim started to walk but plank stopped him "no...lets ...go to the tree." Jim raised an eyebrow but then shrugged "alright. Let's go" he said happily.

The two walked side by side. Once there plank dusted the leaves and dirt off of the bench for Jim who chuckled "why thank you good sir~" plank blushed as they both sat. Jim started " so. How was your day so far? Mine was kind of boring... Except...well I was passing the teachers lounge I heard someone crying. I was really sad at first because I stoppedand listened and apparently is divorcing her husband of 30 years. Which I thought was really sad at first until I heard her say 'I told him all he has to do is let me add that extra room! He wouldn't even be doing any work! None of this would be happening if he would just let me have my 'kitty wonderland'! ' I was so confused at first but then I realized that she was leaving her husband of 30 years because he wouldn't let her build a theme park for her cats! How preposterous! Not to be a mean person or insensitive to other people's feelings but I'm surprised he didn't leave her first! I'm correct am I not?" plank just listened and nodded like usual.

Jim pulled out a container filled with fruit. Grapes, watermelon, honey dew, Kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberrys. Plank looked at the bowl "...you like fruit alot huh?" Jim chuckled "I do! Like my father says 'fruit are earths natural candy'!" Plank chuckled and rolled his eyes. Jim smiled up at him "you want some?" He offered the fruit. Plank shrugged " yah sure. why not." But before he could even move his hand to grab one, Jim had already grabbed a kiwi slice and put it next to Plank's mouth. Planks eyes widened at the action and couldn't help but blush a little. He set there for a few moments just looking at Jim. He noticed the shorter one grow more uneasy as the time went on and so did the the bright red blush on his cheeks. Plank finally opened his mouth to take the kiwi. Plank didn't avert his gaze though and it was then that Jim quickly looked away. And that just wouldn't do for the taller of the two. He nudged the other playfully "hey...you OK?". Jim was hesitant but he looked back at plank shyly and nodded "yah,I'm OK" plank gave him a small smile which made Jim feel a lot better. Jim smiled brightly up at him. They both sat in silence like this for a while. But the silence wasent awkward or uncomfortable. No,it was nice. The two just enjoying the others presences and that was the exact moment that plank came to terms with himself 'I like him...a lot...I mean damn...I don't went him to smile like that to anyone but me...I want him to be MINE... and no one elses ...' And that was it. Plank made up his mind '...I'm going to make him MINE'

The two finished their lunch then hesitantly departed from each other. Jim walking to the next class and plank walking to his. Not like he paid any attention, No. He had more important things to think about. Like how he was going to get Jim to see what he wanted or how to ask him out or to see if Jim even LIKED him like that! Just thinking about it made his head hurt. Plank wanted to be with him ,yes , but he didn't want to just ask him out only to be rejected and loose Jim completely. Just the thought made him sad. Plank sighed and ran his fingers threw his hair. This was going to be harder then he originaly thought. First things first though. He had to get the little brainiac alone... Outside of school. What could he do? Should he just go up and ask him to hang out? Ice cream? No. Sounds to much like a date. Don't want to scare him off. Plank grew frustrated. Until last period that is ,science, thats when Jim came in. Right when he saw that head of green hair , all tension left his body. For once plank was glad Jim sat front and center of the class cause no one even noticed that plank had starred at the back of his head threw the whole class period. Didn't want to seem like a creeper but he couldn't help it! The boy had absolutely had all his attention now. If Jim randomly got up right then and told plank to go jump off a cliff...honestly he would probably do it faster then a heart beat. No hesitation. "Alright class! I'm giving you homework on what we learned today!" The teacher called. Planks eyes widened ' crap! I didn't pay attention to any of it!' Plank sighed for what seemed to be the hundrith time today. He got handed a sheet of paper filled with questions ,front and back. He looked back at Jim who was smiling down at his homework as if it was already finished.

Planks eyes widened once more as he got an idea. He couldn't help his lips slightly twitching up into a small unnoticed smile. Once class dismissed , plank made fast movement and went to his locker. He did what he needed then locked it again before speed walking outside. Yes it was stalker-ish that plank knew Jim would pass here. But how could he protect Jim if he didn't know where he was at all times?...or atleast that's what he told himself. He waited and kept peeking around the corner he was hiding behind every time he heard the door open only to see random students. Soon enought though the one he was waiting for stepped threw the doors , and thankfully for plank he had his nose deep in a book so he didn't notice the taller one waiting. Plank took quick action and took out his phone and stepped right in Jim's path and acted like he was dumbly standing there looking threw his phone. And just like he thought he would , Jim walked right into him causing him to stumble backwards before plank quickly reached out and caught him , steadying him again. Jim now starred wide eyed up at plank "I am so sorry plank! I should have been watching where I was going!..." Plank shrugged "oh and" Jim continued after picking up his book "nice reflexes" he smiled brightly. Plank shrugged again "comes with being a football player" Jim rolled his eyes "oh please. Fast reflexes don't come from sporting endeavors! It comes from your brains natural instinct to protect. Your brain merely lashed out knowing what to do before your subconscious could even realise it." Jim chuckled then continued walking.

Plank stood there stupidly for a second before quickly chasing after the other. Once next to him plank spoke up "so uhh...I was wondering..." Jim glanced back up at him for a moment "yes?". Plank scratched the back of his neck "well. We both know I'm 'OK' at math but.." Jim smiled widely "you are excellent at math!" To Jim plank looked nervous "what is it plank?" Jim asked trying to push it out of the taller. Plank sighed 'its NOT a DATE! just studying! Stop being a wuss!' He mentally pep talked himself then spoke again "its just, I'm not as good in science and came to see if you could help me with tonights homework" plank finally said and then let out a breath he didnt know he was holding. Jim brightened back up "thats what you look so nervous for?! Of corse ill help! Im glad you asked me." A faint brush of blush coated jims pale cheeks. Plank looked like a bolder had been taken off his sholders "thanks jim". Jim shrugged "anythung for my favorite jock~!" Jim giggled into his hand, something plank noticed he did sometimes. It was adorable non the less. "Alright. Your house or mine 2×4?" For a reason unknown to plank his mind flipped right to sex at that question. He shook his head trying not to picture such things with such an inoccent soul...though plank would be lying if he said the idea of taintung the small pure being wasent a turn-on. Plank started to think of all the ways he coukd make jim his. How the boy would react. What he would say. What he would do...all those position's-"mine" plank said to himself but before he could take it back Jim smiled "alright. Your house it is. Took you long enough to answer." Jim walked right up to planks door once they were there.

Plank tried to swallow the lump in his throat 'Great! just Great! Plank you need to learn to shut your mouth EVEN MORE!' he mentally scolded himself . He quickly unlocked the door and the two stepped inside "my dad is at work so he won't be back until late" Jim nodded in understanding "mine too. Well that's OK! Just means no interruptions!" He said happily to planks dismay. 'great! Plank you perv! Why did that sound so...suggestive? Maybe its just me...yah! Its just me and my messed up brain!' They both went to planks now put together room. Jim instantly hopped onto the bed and bounced a little "man. I love your bed plank! Its bouncy...but sturdy. Its nice!" Jim said innocently and plank groaned mentally 'this is going to be a looking study...someone! Quick! Save me!...or else someone will soon have to save that little tease of a boy BOUNCING on my bed!" He pleaded in his mind. But he knew no one would come , which only made him want to pounce the boy even MORE! He groaned.
