The hand on his lower back caused Shawn to shudder, and he was sure that it'd been felt by the older and taller boy as he let him guide him first towards the doors. He had to look down, sure that his face was more than just a little red. But he knew where the doors were without looking and he went to open them first, but they were instead, held open for him and it shook him up a little as he walked through them on unsteady feet and cast very curious glances up at him, mostly peering at the blurry, handsome blob that came to his eyes. He bit his own lip as the thoughts crossed his mind, knowing just how much he was beginning to like the Junior.<br/><br/>He slid slowly down into the empty seat and gently pushed some of the books and papers aside to make room for his tray, cautious of each thing because he knew it had to do with their school work. He nearly dropped his fork, fumbling with it when Alice acknowledged him. He cast a shy smile her way "Hi." he said in return, before quickly looking back down to focus on his own food.<br/><br/>A slight cough and nearly choking made him reach for his milk to take a drink and clear his throat as he thought he'd heard wrong, being invited to join them. He blinked several times, but saw no clues that it was at all a joke and a truly honest invite. He quickly adjusted his tie, fixing it as he took a glance towards his brother, as if seeking permission before he looked back over to the boy at his side. "Um... S-Sure." he stuttered, looking down and away because he knew others, especially Alice were listening, he couldn't keep the stutter from his speech. He really needed to stop doing that. He wasn't meant to do that, he was supposed to be confident and cause problems.<br/><br/>Shawn took a deep breath to get rid of his unease as he returned to focusing on his meal, unconciously scooting a little closer to the Akihiko when he could hear the whispers floating around them, feel their eyes mostly focused on him. Leo was likely upset by all of his, furious all his work to keep Shawn alone was very quickly falling apart.<br/><br/><br/><br/>((Oh, I had a few things tumbling around in my head that seemed good, but now there seems to be this swirl around some form of Sexual abuse that fit between Leo and their father, maybe more. I'll figure it out, create a little history for it, or something else. Make it work.<br/>And it's alright about the wait, I don't mind that much, as long as we get to keep things going. Doesn't seem to help that my days off are in the middle of the week.))
