Heyyyy //OxO// LGBTQ+???//CLOSED

Luckily, there weren't too many people out right now, so Lloyd didn't get excessively anxious. Nonetheless, he kept close to Irene for safety purposes.

"So… how are you feeling?" Irene turned the corner and headed towards a park.

"Stressed, drained, pretty generally terrified… so just about normal. What about you?" Lloyd glanced over at Irene.

Irene looked up at Lloyd and smiled. "I'm actually pretty good! I've gotten to hang out with one of my favorite people for about 24 hours now and probably for a lot longer."

Lloyd smiled weakly. "He sounds wonderful. When can I meet him?" He said with a joking tone.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, maybe tomorrow?" Irene laughed and lead Lloyd to a bench by a pond in the park.

Lloyd sat beside Irene with his hands folded neatly in his lap, looking out upon the pond.

Irene picked up a rock and attempted to skip it on the pond, but instead, she just threw it in.

Lloyd tried the same thing, failing a couple times before getting a rock to skip once.

"My father always tried to teach me to skip rocks in this pond, but I could never do it…" Irene tried multiple times, never once skipping a rock successfully.

"Mmm… I think it's kinda like throwing a frisbee. It's all in your wrist. You also want a flat rock." Lloyd picked up a pretty smooth rock and flicked his wrist, skipping the rock.

"Hmm, that may help…" Irene picked up a semi-flat rock and attempted to skip it. It still didn't work, but she was getting closer. After a few failed attempts, she finally got a rock to skip once. She jumped up. "Yay!! I did it!"

Lloyd smiled softly. "Great job, Rea. See? I am a good teacher." He laughed a bit, skipping another rock.

"I never you said you were a bad teacher!" Irene giggled and tried to skip another rock, succeeding again.

"I know, just the whole tutor thing from earlier." Lloyd tossed a rock in his hand a couple times before skipping this one too.

"You are great at that!" Irene sat down on the grass then lied down and looked up at the sky.

Lloyd joined Irene quietly, looking up as well. He ran his fingers through his disheveled blonde hair and yawned a bit.

(Hhh I'm trying to think of some sort of action to happen, but nothing too intense because I don't want Lloyd to be under more pressure than he already is.)

(I love torturing him lol. Never hesitate to make things hard on my characters. Or hurt them. Or generally torture them XD)

(Awee no! I feel so bad for Lloyd!! But I can try to make something happen… or maybe you could, idk)

(I have no idea what to do honestly. Hurt/comfort is like, my fuckin' jam, so again, don't hesitate to hurt my children)

(Lol ok. I was just about to post something, but I had a question lol. Does Lloyd get bullied? I would assume he does but what do I know)

(Yep. Mostly because he's a huge nerd and doesn't like talking to people. Also he's non confrontational, so they don't have to worry about being turned in)

(K thanks)
Irene sat up. "Wow, I'm thirsty. Do you know where a water fountain might be?"

"No, but I'm sure I could help you find one." Lloyd got up and helped Irene to her feet, wandering around with her to find a water fountain.

After a couple minutes looking for a water fountain, they found one. "Oh look! There's one over there." They go over to the fountain, there are a few people at it, but Irene goes right over and waits behind the people, assuming they are in line to drink from the fountain as well.

Lloyd seemed very tense and stayed close to Irene. He recognized these kids, and they weren't friendly.

Irene looked to Lloyd and noticed how tense he was. "Is everything okay, Lloyd? You seem a little off."

Lloyd winced when Irene said his name, glancing over at the guys. They turned around at the sound of it and glared at him. "Well, well. If it isn't Windsor."

Irene looked between the guys and Lloyd. "Excuse me? Who are you guys?
