Conflicted (Boyxboy)

81

"Uh...No...that's...someone different. His name was Micah." I smiled down awkwardly at the grass I was picking until Patty came and nuzzled at it curiously. I looked up at her and patted her neck and Alex complained when she flicked her tail in his face.

"Well we've been sitting here too long!!" He said as he jumped up and I sighed before standing too.

They both seemed to be in intense thought as we walked back towards the front of the field, until Alex came to walk beside me.

"Then, who's Finn?" He pried and I glared at him for a second before managing a smile.

"No one." I brushed him off before walking out of the gate to the field and leaving them to close it. Sometimes his curiosity gets on my nerves.

I looked over to the sound of people walking as I reached the stables, stepping back and bracing myself when Zac appeared round the corner.

"Aww Rile Rile!"  He exclaimed but was shoved back from squishing me in a hug by Aaron's arm.

"Ah ah, enough of that." He warned making Zac cross his arms and pout and I smirked.

I then blinked at him in surprise when I noticed a ball of fluff in his other arm.

"Where did you get that rabbit from?" I asked him and he smiled down at it.

"It's super cute isn't it? Charlie showed me them." Aaron petted it and looked down at it lovingly.

"Cute...Wait, what? Charlie talked to you?" My jaw dropped and he looked back up to me.

"Yeah, he seemed to like him." Zac said with a raised brow and I looked back at Aaron incredulously.

"Oh. Matias probably told him you were vegan." I realised and rolled my eyes, making him frown.

"Why would you talk to someone because of their diet..." He questioned and I raised a brow at him.

"I think you know that it is a lot more than that. Besides, Charlie is Charlie. No one knows what goes through his mind, not like I'd want to know anyway." I grumbled and he smiled at me.

"Daddy issues, huh? We all have them here." He said and I smirked.

"We should make a club!" Zac suggested making me roll my eyes and Aaron just stared at him before snuggling the bunny again. He rocked it slightly like a baby and petted its head very calmly and gently.

That's fucking adorable.

"Oh yeah, we're about to head out and see if we can make a deal with a lawyer or whatever for tomorrow, seeing as the one on your side isn't very useful at the moment. Are you fine staying here or would you like to come with us?" Aaron explained and my brows raised.

"Tomorrow? There's something going on tomorrow? And wow you actually gave me a choice on something, kudos to you." I said and he bit his lip awkwardly.

"Sorry, and yes, the next hearing is tomorrow. Matias purposely didn't tell us that, the prick, but we managed to find out anyway. We're going to see if we can persuade anyone to help us out with such short notice, but I doubt we'll get anyone qualified enough. Sadly, Chance can't stand in because he's too closely 'involved' with you. As your step brother I mean, not talking about other things, I mean if there even are other things, not saying that there is , I mean-"

"-Yeah okay, I get it." I interrupted his downward spiral into awkwardness and he chuckled awkwardly before just staring down at the rabbit again.

"BUNNY!!" Alex interrupted any further conversation by jumping up to the poor creature. He was stopped from reaching it though by Aaron, who snuggled it closer to his chest and glared at Alex like a protective guard dog.
