Once they were done in the lake, Oscar and Arthur were told to go dry off. Oscar had flashbacks, fucking PSTD. But, he could live.
Him and Arthur were drying off, chatting when lando came in. He smiled brightly at Oscar, walking over to him.
Arthur narrowed his eyes at the older.
"Meet me behind the tree by the lake before we leave.." Lando whispered into Oscar's ear, standing on his tip toes.
Oscar gave him a confused look, but he nodded anyways. Guess he was meeting lando before they leave.
"I can't believe you have to stand on your tip toes," is all Oscar said back, snickering.
"Fuck off," Lando huffed, rolling his eyes and scoffing.
Oscar just laughed, he ruffled Lando's curls making him gasp and shove Oscar's hand away.
Oscar laughed even harder.
And Arthur gave them a weird look.

Oscar did as lando said, he waited at the tree at the lake as everyone else stood waiting for the bus to come and pick them up, take them home. But Oscar was stood here, under this stupid tree.
Lando then walked up to him, hissing as he scratches himself on a thorn to get through the bush to Oscar. Oscar looks up at him, standing up straight instead of leaning on the tree. Lando gives him a smile before basically throwing himself through the bush to get to Oscar.
"Oof," Oscar huffs as he catches Lando.
The older laughs and stands up, Oscar's hands still resting on his waist gently.
"What did you want?" Oscar asks, as politely as he could sound after he realised he could've chosen better words.
"Well, I just wanted to know if you'd uh- like to go out sometime..?" Lando says nervously, fiddling with his fingers.
Oscar chuckles, "sure, I will," he smiles, he then kissed Lando's cheek gently.
The red blush on Lando's cheeks didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Ok..good! It's a date piastri," Lando says, confident yet again.
"Sure thing Norris, sure thing," Oscar replied, he squeezed Lando's waist gently. "I'm pretty sure we've done this backwards to.. I mean-"
Lando shushed him, "shush, doesn't matter now does it,"
Oscar shrugged, kissing Lando on the cheek again before climbing back through the bush. He held his hand out for Lando to take, offering him help.
Lando blushed a little, taking Oscar's hand to get through the stupid thorns and follow the little path Oscar had been making for him. Lando got out with less scrapes than he did when he went in.

On the bus, Logan was clearly playing 20 fucking questions with Oscar.
"Where did you go?"
"To the lake,"
"Why?"
"Cause I wanted to,"
"Yeah-"
"Logan," Oscar finally sighed, giving the other man a look, telling him to shut the fuck up.
Logan held his hands up, "sorry, didn't know you were getting dicked-"
Oscar pushed Logan off the seat before he could finish.
_
Through the rest of the bus ride, everyone was pretty quiet, most of the teenagers ready to go home. Wanting their own beds.
Oscar leaned his head against the window as Logan snored the fuck away next to him. He had to deal with Arthur kicking the seat very aggressively to stop him from snoring every five minutes.
"Oscar, just smack him awake," Arthur rolled his eyes, to which Oscar shook his head.
"I ain't risking my life for you," Oscar complained.
"Well, Ollie is asleep..look how cute he looks, will you disturb this baby?" Arthur asked, putting on his best puppy eyes.
Oscar looked at him, deadpan as ever, "I don't care,"

They got off the bus, lando slipped Oscar his number very secretly.
Oscar's mum waited for him in the school car park. He went to her with his suitcase of things, and his bag.
"Have fun?" She asked, putting his suitcase in the boot of the car.
Oscar nods, "apart from the whole, concussion thing, yeah, was fun," he chuckled, getting in the car and putting his seat belt on.
"Oh yeah, are you ok now? I thought you'd want to come home but..you didn't," his mum answered, frowning.
"Mum, I'm fine I promise," Oscar replied with a little smile.
He just wanted to go home and sleep in his own bed.
And add Lando's number to his phone, no one needed to know about that part though.
