WHO: Fern and open!
WHERE: Network, in front of the highschool.
WHEN: Today.
WHAT: Varian's shrine arrives.
WARNINGS: Kid having a unrequited crush on an adult.

[When the video starts it looks to be out in front of Kaisou Highschool. Not anything unusual, teenagers are all about the social media!

Except the video is focused on... a bunch of pictures? Actually, it looks more like a full-on shrine to a very handsome man named Flynn Rider.

Who is also a criminal, if that wanted poster is anything to go by.]

Ooookay, so this thing was just - in front of the school, like someone picked it up and dropped it. And I kinda get being so into someone that you get real attached to a lock of their hair....

[He really, really can't judge there, given he did it with PB when he was younger and still Finn.]

But is this a weird thing for your boyfriend to have? Is it normal for humans? Should I be worried? I -

[Fern stops abruptly when he notices a small gaggle of teenagers nearby, clustered together. A few of them have their phones out, pointed at the shrine, and they're giggling. He doesn't like that - oh boy, he doesn't like that at all. He lets out an inhuman hiss and suddenly the video is going all shaky as he starts towards them.]

Hey! Knock it off you dillweeds! You wanna sock to the face for making fun of him?!

[And then the feed goes dead. Guess who's getting detention today!]

[There's an equal amount of floundering going on, and an equal amount of self-loathing. Of course Varian is joking. Even if they're dating, the fact that his boyfriend might want to kiss him isn't something that ever entered his mind.

So he's a little stupefied by Varian's reaction. He seems really hurt by this, and Fern stares, bewildered.]

Are... are you being serious? No jokes?

[Varian blinks, confusion slipping in before the hurt.]

Y- yeeees? I was being serious? I don't-

[He cants his head making this look even more ridiculous than he already does.]

Why would I be joking about wanting to kiss you?

Because -

[Okay, now that they're talking about this, Fern is starting to feel utterly foolish.]

... Because I didn't think you'd actually wanna do it.

[They are absolutely the best at this. ]

Of course, I want to do it!

[Okay, he definitely said that way too loud and a few students turn their heads to check out what might be some delicious gossip. Varian blushes, trying to ignore them, moving to take Fern's hands in his again, giving them a squeeze. ]

Sorry, that was loud. I- I mean of course I want to kiss you. You're- you're my boyfriend and you're really handsome and- and I really like you. Why wouldn't I want to kiss you? [Them, quickly:] And the "'cause I'm grass" counterargument doesn't work because I'm pretty sure I've established that's not a problem, even a little bit.

[Fern, the dumbass that he is, doesn't notice the looks he and Varian get. It doesn't even connect in his head that those words could mean anything beyond kissing, since physical contact beyond that and handholding is pretty much never on his mind.

Fern opens his mouth to answer, but no words come out, so after an awkward moment he shuts it. Okay, so "I'm made of grass" isn't a counterargument. He doesn't have much else left to say - rationally, Varian makes a lot of sense. They're dating, and if he likes him, then of course he'd want to kiss him.

It's just... really hard to wrap his mind around that, and he flushes darker.]

O... okay. You've really made up your mind about this? For real?

[He just needs to be super sure okay???]

[A tiny smile crosses his lips.]

Yes, I've really made my mind up about this, for real.

[But Fern reacted so much to this and still seems so unsure that it's made Varian a little uneasy himself. His smile falters a little, as doubt slips in.]

I um- do-do you want to kiss me? I mean, it's... it's fine if you don't. It's- it's not like it's a dealbreaker or anything! I would understand if you...don't wanna do...that. I don't want to force you into anything you're uncomfortable doing because that wouldn't be okay, probably, right?

[Aaaand now he's babbling.]

Do I - ....

[Fern blinks, feeling his face continue to darken. What a question. What a question.

He patiently waits for Varian to finish babbling, then makes a noise like he's clearing his throat.]

Oh - oh! Yeah! Um. Okay, so all cards on the table, I've only kissed girls before, and since I've been - me I've never really... thought about kissing. Anyone.

[His life as Fern never really lent itself to romance, not up until now.]

But I'd like to.

Well, I've never kissed anyone before so...y'know.

[Fern's still way ahead of him on this one. He can feel his heart thudding in his chest as he steps a little closer. Wow, okay, this is nerve-wracking, is it supposed to be this nerve-wracking? He has no idea.]

Oh...good. Good, because I'd like to, too. Which I have...already established.

[He looks at their hands, then at Fern, because now they're here he realises he has no fucking clue what he's doing. There's a temptation to start talking again, to get rid of the nervous energy that's building up, but he realises that won't actually...do anything.

Okay. Okay, he can do this...probably. He takes a deep steadying breath, before closing the gap between them to press his lips against Fern's. ]

[Even if it isn't supposed to be nerve-wracking Fern is feeling the same way. He's never kissed anyone as Fern before, only Finn. What if he screws it up, like everything else he's screwed up? He's really good at that and bad at practically everything else. But - but Varian wants to do this, and he does too, and he really wants to make Varian happy, so they're doing this.

He gives him a little nod.]

Uh huh. Yup.

[He's got this. He just needs to remember all those times he kissed girls as Finn.

Leaning in when Varian does, he presses his lips against his. It feels great, kissing someone he cares about always does, but also weird. It's the whole grass body thing - that makes it feel different than if he was still flesh-and-blood, which makes his feelings on all of this very mixed.]

[The feel of grassy lips against his own isn't exactly what Varian was expecting- but then, he really didn't have anything else to compare it to. It doesn't matter though, not to him. Because it meant he was undeniably kissing Fern, and why would he want to feel like he was kissing anyone else?

It's wonderful and Varian can feel happy, nervous butterflies in his stomach as he presses into the kiss, making a soft sound against Fern's lips. His hands grip Fern's a little tighter as his tail curls around his boyfriend's waist without him realising it.

There are a few childish ooooooooohs from the few kids still hanging around to watch this happening, but Varian doesn't notice- he's far too busy enjoying his first kiss with someone he really like a great deal to care. ]

[Even with Fern's previous experience this still feels unusual to him, too. It's a nice kind of weird though, one that makes his insides feel all fluttery. He's kissing Varian and Varian actually wants to kiss him back, and this is something that Finn has never done before. That last one is pretty important to him, especially when this isn't something bad like starting a whole war. He even likes the feeling of Varian's tail curling around his waist, it makes the whole thing feel more romantic and personal, somehow.

Of course, what he doesn't like are the noises from the other kids. He hears them and sputters, and abruptly pulls back so he can shake a fist at them.]

Hey, you dillweeds! You lookin' for a fight??

[Varian had been enjoying that kiss quite a lot and wasn't expecting Fern to pull back suddenly. He stumbles a little against the other boy, letting out a confused sound as Fern's lips are abruptly removed from his own. A few grassy strands stay stuck to his own lips as he looks between Fern and the other kids, blinking a little owlishly.

The kids definitely scatter on the threat from Fern- some of them still jeering as they go, but clearly, none of them are interested in actually fighting him. Varian watches them leave, before looking back at Fern- a fond smile crossing his face. He really does like the whole...fighty thing Fern's got going on, even if it meant their first kiss was interrupted. ]

Guess they really weren't looking for a fight. Didn't like their chances against you, I'll bet.

[Fern is definitely looking a little more pointy all over - his grass is sharpening, as are his teeth - and he looks like he's about to go after those kids. It isn't surprising that they scatter though, it's no secret that Fern is very prone to starting fights in the school.

He only stops when Varian speaks up, still looking very sharp.]

I'd beat the tar outta them, they wouldn't have any hope of winning. [He huffs.] They shouldn't have laughed!

[Varian might be staring a little bit at those teeth. Okay, he might be staring a lot. He's definitely feeling...well, some kind of weird, tingly feeling about those. He realises, belatedly, that Fern has spoken to him and blinks- clearing his throat. He's definitely a lot redder than he was before.]

Yeah- yeah, you'd absolutely beat the- the tar out of them. They'd have no chance at all.

[Fern's very good at fighting. Varian likes watching Fern fight. He's almost a little sad the other kids ran off. He might have maybe enjoyed watching Fern beat them up a little bit. He smiles lopsidedly.]

Well, they're dumb. I don't care what they think.

[It takes Fern several more long moments before he lets go of fighting the other kids, and turns his attention back to Varian. He glances over to see his boyfriend blushing up a storm, and is immediately thrown off balance.

Oh geez, did he screw something up?? Varian is agreeing with him and grinning, but he's agreeing with his threat of violence. He's reminded of Jake telling him that it was messed up, and his anger shifts to embarrassment.]

Um. Are you okay?

[Oh no, drawing attention to it makes Varian blush more. An awkward laugh bubbles out of him.]

What? Oh! I'm fine. Just super! Peachy keen! [He has never said peachy keen in his entire life and he may never say it again.] I um- wow. You've got really sharp teeth when you're angry, did you know that? They're really cool. And sharp. And cool. I already said cool.

[He lets out a little haaaaaaaaaaaaa noise. His tail is still wrapped around Fern's waist.]

Man. Is it warm here? I suddenly feel warm.

[Super peachy keen is a real weird thing to hear coming out of Varian's mouth, and Fern stares at him like he's grown a second head.

Peachy keen. Sharp teeth. Varian on the verge of passing out of something. Fern absently reaches up to prod at his teeth, which have returned to normal by now.]

I feel okay. [Not warm, in other words.] Your tail is till, uh.... [Coiled around him.]

[Oh no he's poking at his teeth, oh no he made this weird.]

Ha ha, just me then.

[As Fern points out the tail thing, he blushes even more, if that was possible already.]

Oh um! Jeez! Sorry I - uh. I didn't realise it had done that. Let me just- [there's a few soft 'oops' and 'sorry's as he tries to untangle himself from his boyfriend, ultimately doing a little half-spin to get the errant limb out of the way, soothing down the fur on it instead of focusing on Fern- god if the ground could eat him that would be SWELL] Th-there we go. All free!

[This is definitely weird and all Fern can do is stand there awkwardly while Varian fumbles with his tail. At least other kids nearby have wised up and aren't saying anything.

Once that's all said and done Fern shifts his weight from foot to foot. What now??? He tries to work through the tangle of confusing emotions in his mind and come up with something that gets rid of all the awkwardness and is a comfort to his boyfriend.]

Okay. Okay, cool. So... we should get this junk somewhere private. [He starts blushing again.] Theeeen maybe we can kiss again.

Yeah- yeah, we should get this back home before anyone else uh...sees it.

[ He's picking some more stuff up as Fern says that and looks up, a doofy, buck-toothed smile crossing his face as his heart flutters a little at the prospect of more kissing.]

I- I'd really like that. To-to kiss you again, I mean. With fewer uh...weirdos staring.

[From Varian's expression it seems like the kissing has cheered him up immensely, which makes Fern happy. It sucked that his boyfriend was so embarrassed about the shrine, and he's glad he could help out.

He nods, scooping more stuff into his arms.]

Cool, let's do this. [The sooner they get it all home the sooner they can resume kissing.]

[The promise of kissing has done wonders. He is but a sixteen-year-old boy and as smart as he is, hormones will always win out over everything else. ]

Cool! Cool- yeah, let's- let's do that. This.

[He's just gonna grab an armful of stuff, probably dropping a little in his eagerness to get moving. ]
