“But he was making you uncomfortable, and calling you inappropriate stuff,” Noah said, kicking a stone on the sidewalk.

“It happens a lot. Provoking them makes it worse. Better to ignore them..” Rose said softly, wrapping his arms around himself slightly as he walked.

Noah stopped and took Rose’s arm gently, preventing him from walking forward. “So you just let them touch you like that?” he asked softly, his eyes searching Rose’s blue ones.

Rose tensed slightly when he was grabbed. “Most of the time they don’t touch me.. I just keep walking and try to ignore them,” he said softly, avoiding Noah’s gaze.

Noah gently frowned on how Rose tense, or how he wouldn’t look at him. Something’s wrong. “What if they follow you?” he said just as softly.

“No one has done that before,” Rose said softly. Yet. What would he do if someone decided to try to follow him?

Noah sighed. “Okay, just try to stay safe. You never know who’s out there.” He knew that from experience; once too young and too dumb.

“I know that,” Rose said softly. His mind flashed to a man with tanned skin and dark eyes, muttering in Rose’s ear as he was groped.

“Just making sure,” Noah said quietly. From Rose’s appearance or how soft he talked, you would figure he was naive, but that certainly wasn’t the case.

“Can we just go to the park now?” Rose asked softly. He dropped his arms back to his thighs as he looked up at Noah.

“Yeah, it’s just up ahead,” Noah said, pointing up the block where it was coming into view.

Rose nodded. He began to walk towards the park, biting at his bottom lip softly.

Noah glanced at Rose, and almost choked. Is he trying to kill me? A blush now burning on his cheeks, he looked onward, trying to find an open bench. The park was surprisingly busy today, which was odd.

Rose saw an empty bench after a minute. “Over there,” he pointed out, beginning to head towards it.

Noah followed Rose to the bench, sitting down. Instantly his hand itched for the cigarette pack in his pocket, but he resisted. Not here, not now.

Rose sat down on it and leaned back a bit with his hands resting on his lap. This was nice, a bit calming to him after what had happened.

Noah played with his fingers on his lap nervously. He didn’t know what to say, since Rose didn’t seem like the talking type, athough neither did he.

Rose stretched his legs out a bit. “Why did you try to start something with that guy for me?” He asked softly.

Noah quickly glanced at Rose, but then looked away. “He was up in your business, and you didn’t seem like you enjoyed it. So I defended you.” he said quietly.

Rose nodded his head a little. “I didn’t. Thank you..” he said softly.

Noah shrugged. “It was just what anyone would do.” He shot Rose a quick smile.

Rose gave a soft huff and shrugged. He did his best to force a smile to his lips in return.

(Do you have any idea for another plot point?)

Noah saw that his smile was forced, and in turn his own faltered. He probably doesn’t like you. Get used to it. This time, he stayed quiet instead of trying to iniate conversation.

(Um, we could have them go out on an actual date at some point?)

Rose gave a little sigh as he glanced away. For a moment, he wished he was back home, curled up in his soft blankets with his favorite stuffed animal.

(do you want noah to ask?)

This is awkward. How do I make it less awkward? Internally, Noah was freaking out, but his face stayed calm, betraying no emotions. Several times he opened his mouth to say something, but decided against it in the last moment and stayed quiet.
