[A little tingle goes down Carter's spine when Scott runs his fingers across his knuckles.]
It's weird to say but in all the time that I noticed when guys were attractive I never thought of it as 'oh I am attracted to him' it was always 'oh he is a good looking guy' which was probably my dumb brain phrasing it that way so I didn't have to sort through all the confusion it brought up in me at first.
Brain patterns and thoughts can be so strange sometimes.
Yeah, that's mostly what it was like. Cause, like that's what I was thinking. Brains are the strangest things. I mean, I remember from trying to take AP Biology that the body was so much. If I didn't have Alison's murder that year, I might have finished it.
[He shakes his head, and half snorts a laugh at himself. He was so dedicated at the beginning of that year. Life at Beacon Hills High was insane. Never a dull moment of rest for him. Carter would find his brain a nightmare most of the time.]
Yeah, I felt like I would with anyone else I liked immediately. It was obvious to me. It only really hit me after I kissed you what it really meant for me.
Guess so, man. Don't think I woulda shown you my belly button right off the bat if I didn't.
[Busts out laughing, because it really is such a goofy ass thing to do for two guys getting together to drink beer, but it's such a Scott thing to do.]
[Going back to his beer, Scott takes another few sips of his beer. He doesn't think much about it since he's incapable of actually feeling any effects of alcohol. It's merely a way to distract him from exactly how good looking Carter is with his hair flipped forward like that.
He can only take so much before he reaches forward and pushes it back, running his finger over Carter's smile line. ]
[Carter's eyes flicker to Scott's when he pushes back his hair, his are a pale green and seem unusually clear and he can't help but smile a little wider. He wants to say something else but his mind is pretty much focused on Scott, looking at all his features and before he can say anything the waitress comes back over to see if they want a refill on their drinks.
Carter blushes even more and moves away from Scott a little, thanking the woman but refusing another drink.]
I can't drink too much tonight, I have to get up early to go jogging tomorrow before class.
[There's a moment when Scott lets himself get lost in those eyes. He too lets himself carefully scan all those features he's insanely attracted to. It's freaking crazy how easily he finds himself drawn in, but Scott's like that. He's that person that sees someone and kinda just knows. Leaning forward, Scott is about a second away from another kiss when the waitress comes over. Damn.
Scott glances down and then back up, shaking his head at the refill.]
You too? I always get up and run. If we need to say goodnight for tonight, that's chill. We can always meet up again another time.
[Scott tosses down enough to cover both their tabs on the table plus a tip. He figures this was close to a date. They did kiss after all. He grins widely and pushes back on the chair to stand up.]
Okay, I've got your number. I'm sure we can set something up.
[When Scott stands up so does Carter and for a second he doesn't know if he should hug the other boy or not but it feels a little too soon so instead he reaches out to take his hand in his, holding it for a long moment and then giving it a little squeeze.]
For sure. I'll talk to you later, fellow perfect bellybutton haver.
[Squeezing Carter's hand for a few seconds longer than a normal handshake, Scott takes a long look at the other guy and bites his lip, a sure fire way to show he's very interested. He laughs at the comment and nods. ]
Sounds good. See you perfect bellybutton club member. I'll get those jackets for us. Later.
[It's hard to let go, but he does and walks off to the jeep he's got parked in the lot.]

Your abs are every bit as damn too, okay.

ooc: figured we could start to close this thread in favor of another :)

I'd like that, a lot.
sounds perfect to me.
