LUCAS
Lucas kicked his feet against the wall of the half-pipe. He was sitting in the same place he'd sat when he first hung out with Jens (their first date), the same place he'd sat when they'd first kissed. Now the first time he'd hang out with Jens's friends as Jens's boyfriend. It was all okay.
He smiled softly at the sky, and looked to his right when he heard voices he recognized as the boys'.
His eyes immediately went to Jens, who was laughing at something one of them had said and playfully punching Aaron. When Jens looked at Lucas, his smile softened.
"Lucaasss!" Moyo exclaimed upon seeing him. Lucas laughed as he reached him, holding his hand up, and slapped their palms together. Aaron did the same, then Robbe. The guys sat on the ledge with Lucas, pulling their bags off and setting them down behind themselves. When Jens held his hand out, Lucas pulled him down next to himself, tilting his head up as Jens leaned down, kissing him carelessly, not square on the mouth, and pulled back. He didn't want to be too affectionate, didn't want to make him uncomfortable.
Jens scrunched his nose at him and placed his hand on his neck, pulling him back and kissing him gently. Lucas giggled against his mouth, hearing the boys whistle at them, teasing.
"How did you guys do on the math quiz?" Jens asked, taking off his backpack and turning so he could wrap his arms around Lucas. Lucas turned, pulling his legs up next to himself, trying not to kick Moyo, and leaned back, his back against Jens's chest as he brought his hands up to hold Jens's.
"How do you think I did?" Aaron asked, looking at Jens, his eyebrows raised. Jens snorted, gently squeezing Lucas as he settled.
"Honestly, I don't even know what I don't know," Moyo said.
"Mood," Lucas said before gently kissing Jens's hand. Jens set his chin on the top of Lucas's head.
"Are you doing school online?" Robbe asked.
"Yeah, my teachers are emailing me assignments and stuff. I can find the articles and things I have to read online. It's not too bad."
"When are you headed back?" Aaron asked, leaning back to see Lucas around Moyo. Lucas sighed.
"I don't know yet. I'm staying with Ralph, I don't know how long he's staying." Lucas felt Jens sigh into his hair.
He didn't know when he was going back, but he assumed it would be sometime that month. He'd miss Jens. Miss Antwerp. Of course, Utrecht wasn't too far from Antwerp, only about two hours. He'd be able to visit. Jens would be able to visit.
Lucas would want to visit every other day, though that wouldn't be entirely possible. He had school and had to care for his mother and see his friends.
Lucas squeezed Jens's hands, and Jens squeezed back. The guys started talking about something that had happened in school that day, someone getting caught with weed in the bathroom or something like that, and Lucas laughed at them, laughed at Moyo's impersonations, at Robbe hitting Aaron jokingly, at Aaron's giggles. He held onto Jens through all of it.
He didn't want to let go.
