Ok alright , you can do this

Darion finished with his homework, he lies down on his to read a book for now.

In,and out,in ,and out ,in,and,out , Candy breaths , slowly slowly slowly calming himself , that was too much. He's overreacting , he needs to calm himself , a good bit calmer , though his eyes are still a raw red he picks his stool back up and sets his guitar down, eyes turning to his set of drums as a small smile grows over. He twirls the drum sticks in his hands as he plays the recording of his guitars , and entirely off instinct , begins to play along with the drums , the anger slowly passing , leaving only a bit of a well..empty feeling , yet a calm one.

Darion enjoyed time home, tomorrow he was going to work though... In the local grocery store.

Candy continues playing for a long time , both to change some things with the guitar , put down a beat with the bass , or spice it up with the drums , the end result actually pretty good for a 16 year old amateur . With a wry smile ,tears having long since dried up on his cheeks , he makes his way back upstairs , and falls instantly to sleep .

Darion too once he was done reading goes to bed, it was going to be school and work after that tomorrow.

(That afternoon)

Candy rolls down the sidewalk on his skateboard , having for the most part gotten over being turned down , though a part of his chest still hurts as he ollies over a squirrel and skids to a stop , kicking the board up into his hands as he walks into the grocery store.

Darion was there at the cashier, waiting for customers to be served. He was wearing the blue work clothes with his name tag and grocery store logo.

Candy just acts like he doesn't see him and goes to get his mango ice tea and gold fish , all the while avoiding his gaze entirely , a slight flush on his face {Shit!Shit!Shit!}.

Darion was busy serving a few customers to notice him, it was mostly a quiet day. Darion had his work smile on and acting very friendly to the customers.

{Oh fuck you , with your cute ass smile and your giant arms } Candy thinks with a smile frown , though he bears Darion no ill will.

Darion is then finished with the other customers, waiting for new ones to serve. Candy has no choice but to go through him with his groceries.

{Fuck you! I wrote a whole song to get over this ! A shitty song , but it's still a fuckin' song!} Candy complains as he awkwardly makes his way up , eyes unable to meet Darion's as he loads his groceries up on the conveyor belt.

Darion gives Candy a friendly smile and a small greeting, as he beeps the groceries through but speaks. "Candy, you okay? I didn't see you at school at all today. Not feeling well?" Darion asked as beeped Candy's groceries over and then waiting for the payment.

{Fuck you!} Candy's brain replies , yet he simply just replies with a sheepish grin and a "Late for the bus" .

Darion gives him a nod and speaks. "That can happens sometimes, anyway I am sure you are busy. Payment please." Darion said giving a smile.

Candy nods and digs in his wallet for the cash "Crap , about a dollar short" He replies sheepishly "I'll just take it bacK" He begins.

Darion stops him. "No need, I will pay the missing dollar. But you will owe me..." Darion said taking his own wallet out and putting the dollar in. "There, have a nice day." Darion said with a smile, he tried to be friendly to Candy so they can become closer as friends over time.

He can't help but blush a bit , even though it's a simple thing "Thanks , appreciate it , I'll see you around he replies as he jogs out of the store and with that , skates off.

Darion waved a goodbye at him, Candy seemed to be doing fine but something inside Darion said he was a bit off. He had instincts after all, as a werewolf but he did not know how to read them properly.

What is off is that he wants some of that high grade Darion beefcake and he can't have any .

Once Darion was done with his shift for today he returned home, but he had a bad feeling and worried about Candy.

Candie is gonna go home and ply X-com now, maybe call over some of his friends to test his playing on a live audience.

Darion went home, and ate a lot as usual and did homework before relaxing a bit.

Candy calls over his friends , James and Esther...because Esther has a ghost phone.

James is soon on his way to candy's location
