IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
HOW THIS WORKS
- This takes place after the most recent exploration, after curfew.
- Anyone can post scenes here even if I made it for Neal and Atticus!
- Love you!
» Scenes: Just some scenes. Any scenes!
» OOC - Discussion
Noah & Eli
Noah & Eli
"Oh, well. I'm disreputable." He smiles again, and it's his audience smile. His I-practiced-this-in-front-of-a-mirror smile. Not insincere—at least, no more than Noah tends to be—but self-conscious all the same. "You like that your friends don't approve of me. Isn't that what you told me?"
Noah & Eli
Eli's finally fully squirmed around to face Noah and look him in the eye. "It's more like a side-effect. I'm not trying to piss them off on purpose but I'm not going to stop doing the thing that pisses them off. Which is you. I mean—" Eli sputters a little, which turns into another laugh. "I'm not doing you."
Noah & Eli
"You could, if you wanted to. After all this wears off, of course." His fingers wander up Eli's side, the touch no longer feeling very innocent, even if it is. Noah is conscious of the power he has to hurt, in a way he's never cared about with anyone else, even his friends. He'd made a promise. "But I'm a little afraid it would mean more to you than it does to me."
It's easier to say things, when Eli is like this. Of course Noah is still himself enough to take advantage of it. He's selfish.

Noah & Eli
He still doubts that normal Eli would agree—or rather, thinks that he would agree with Happy Eli's point, but maybe focus a little more on the sure, yeah, because they both made promises here. Normal Eli is careful with Noah in addition to being surprisingly reckless, whereas this Eli feels like... all recklessness. Like he'd say yes to anything, just because it's Noah.
"You've really never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend?" he asks, sounding curious. He'd always assumed... well. It would be different for Eli, wouldn't it?

Noah & Eli
"Do you worry about it with me?" Noah's smile is suddenly wry. "Not that we're dating, I suppose."
Noah & Eli
Eli loves Noah's touch and leans into it. He doesn't even mind the reminder that Noah isn't his and never will be. "I worry about it with everyone. That's why I told you early. To see if it'd scare you away, or make you think I wasn't your thing anymore."
Noah & Eli
Noah should be more careful. He should've been careful the first time around, when Eli told him. But Noah isn't the type to think about consequences, especially when Eli keeps smiling at him. "Someone here probably would date you, you know. A lot of handsome ladies and beautiful boys in your year."
