Marcus told his parents moving now is a bad idea. He told them. Many times. Awkward and weirdo (that's what he thinks of himself), he knew he wouldn't make a lot of friends. Not that he had many before. He's just not good around people. He talks to himself a lot and rambles when he's nervous.

Kairn seems like those mysterious bad boy types. Like those cool guys in black and white aesthetic pictures. Distant and solitary. It looks like he gets along with everyone and would talk to you if you talk to him, but he prefers to be alone. Girls dig him as well. But people just can't seem to figure him out. He doesn't really care about anything; it seems. When he looks at Marcus, he must think 'what a weirdo'. Yeah, that's what Marcus thinks.

They started introducing themselves. Now it's his turn.
He looked at me, his indifferent gaze resting on me for a few seconds and said, 
"I'm Kairn." And turned away. 

He's weird. But I'm probably weirder.

"We call him Kai," his friend said. He gave a curt nod.

The Awkward Boy's Crush (BXB)

I didn't really think about what I was doing or about the consequences. Before I could even think of a way to make him feel any better, my body moved on its own. I rested my head on his shoulder and shook my head 'no'. Kai soon recovered from the initial shock and hugged me back. He slowly rested his head on my shoulder. Since he's taller than me, he had to lower his head a little. 


"No, you didn't. It's my fault for judging you at first. The guys like you just as you are, so do I. I've told you that before, haven't I?" 


"And it's me. I'm sorry. I should've tried to understand you're not comfortable around new people. Felix helped me understand. I'm glad I stuck to you. Now you're one of my closest friends here."
