Zane crossed his arms, "And why is that? Afraid to be seen with me?"

"No! My brothers are…"

"Are what? Come on Nemo, I'm sure I can handle them."

Nemo looked at Zane. "We're all named after fictional characters. I think that should give you a little bit of info."

"Nemo," Zane rolled his eyes a little, "If you don't want me too pick you up, you can just say it. I. don't. care if you ll have kinda weird but cool names, at least they aren't generic."

"Arthur and Phillip are, but they're still named after characters," Nemo peeped.

Zane shrugged, "Still better then… Zane."

"How is Zane bad? Phillip's named after the Disney Prince. Arthur's named after the King of Camelot and Merlin after his sidekick. I'm named after a fucking fish, for fucks sake! I didn't have a proper name before Finding Nemo came out 2 years after I was born!"

"Yeah, well, at least no one mistakes you for a fuck boy." He stood and swung his bag over his shoulder, "I'm picking you up tomorrow, end of story. See you and your brothers then."

"Have you seen me? I have freshmen girls come up to me confessing their love before I tell them I'm gay. Even my cousin says she'd date me if I wasn't gay and her cousin."

“I’d date you too of I was gay!” He sighed, “We’re done here. See you tomorrow.” He muttered, turning away.

Nemo stopped in his tracks, bushing. He'd date me if he was gay?

"See you tomorrow pretty boy!" Zane called over his shoulder as he left.

"Yeah, see ya." What's with these comments? Does he know he's saying them?

(Sorry, got distracted)

The following day, school was boring as per usual. Zane made it through, just, but he did, really only because he was looking forward to hanging out with Nemo. The boy intrigued him and he wanted to become friends. So he was at his car as soon as the bell rang pretty much, leaning against the hood with his arms crossed as he waited.

(nah all good)

The three Hart kids that went to the same school came walking out, Arthur and Merlin in front and Nemo behind them. He was talking on the phone. They had to pick up Phillip, who was currently on adventures across the street with his best friend Liam.

Zane gave a two fingered salute to the three of them, offering a small, somewhat tired and strained smile too, "Hey there." He said once they were close enough.

By then, Nemo had finished his call. "Go get Phillip," He said to the twins, and they walked across the road. "Hey," He said to Zane.

Zane’s smile grew a fraction, “Hey. How was your day?” He asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Same as it always is. Spent either run the library or the back of the class."

He nodded, "Where'd your brothers go?"

"Um, Phillip's across the road at his best friends house. He stays there cause he's not old enough to come to school. Our parents are doctors so they can't look after him during the day. I usually look after my brothers until our parents get home. It's normal. Has been for years."
