((Aha but it's the district leader))

The elders sat in the common room as Arnold shared his day's story of how his day went.

Kevin was twitching uncomfortably in his seat from where he sat beside Connor.

Connor had his head resting on Kevin's shoulder, so he noticed this, at first ignoring this.

However, Kevin didn't stop, and he tapped his leg restlessly, shrugging slightly.

Connor took this as a sign to move his head off of Kevin's shoulder, moving instead to lay down on Kevin's lap. However, he heard a squeaked a moment later when he did this and felt Kevin squirm uncomfortably under him.

Arnold continued on with his story and Connor didn't want to interrupt, so he turned his head and whispered to Kevin, "You okay?"

"Huh? Y-yeah." Kevin nodded but seemed frustrated and fixed on something.

"You don't seem okay." Connor frowned.

"Then why'd you ask?" Kevin pointed out bitterly.

"What's eating at you?" Connor glared.

"Not you." Kevin muttered.

"What?" Connor said a bit too loud and this silenced Arnold and the other elders who looked at the two boys curiously.

"It's just- what am I, McKinley?" Kevin huffed.

"What are you?"

"To you, yes, because you go and put your head on my shoulder and lay on my lap and- this isn't even the first time and- do you like me or not?" Kevin narrowed his eyes.

"Kevin- you're being strange- what do you mean? You-"

Kevin grabbed Connor's face and kissed it, Connor pausing in surprise before kissing back.

Kevin leaned back and took in a breath, "S-so?"

Connor sat up.

"How do you feel?" Kevin asked.

"Not the same."

"Then you've only got yourself to blame." Kevin grinned before leaning in to kiss Connor against who immediately kissed back.
