Quinn blushed lightly, avoiding Ollie’s gaze. “I can find a suitable job without higher education… there’s just too much to deal with in the school. My parents will try to sabotage anything I try to do… they still technically have guardianship over me.”
Ollie huffed, placing his hands on Quinn's chest, "You're eighteen though. So I mean technically they aren't since you're an adult."
Quinn lifted a hand to rest it on top of Ollie’s. He dared to meet Ollie’s eyes, a mix of shame and sadness clouding his usually striking green eyes. “But the school still requires them to act as legal guardians… I’m scared Ollie… I don’t want to see them. I don’t want to go back.”
Ollie sighed softly, drifting his hands up Quinn's chest then back down again, "I'm sorry, I know you're scared… I'll support you with whichever decision you make, Quinn… I love you."
Quinn wrapped his arms around Ollie and pulled him close. “I don’t know what to do anymore… I feel like I’ve lost everything. I don’t have a future all because I have to be gay and my parents don’t like that…” he choked on his own words.
Ollie pressed a light kiss to Quinn's neck, resting a hand on his cheek, "You do have a future. Your parents can't dictate that. If you get through school, go to collage or any other career path. Being gay doesn't change that."
“I hate all of this… I want to go to college so bad that it makes my heart ache to think I might not even make it through high school.” His grip around Ollie loosened a little as he took a few breaths to calm himself. “I just don’t understand why they don’t want me.”
Ollie pressed some light kisses up his jaw line, connecting their lips in a lingering kiss a moment later, "Some people are just idiots and can't accept us. It's dumb and it sucks but it's life…"
Quinn closed his eyes, almost disappointed the kiss didn’t last longer. He sighed deeply and nodded, collecting himself. “You’re right… you’re right… I’m sorry for breaking down and thinking of dropping out. I’ll go to school.”
"I'm not gonna force you to go to school, if you really don't want to you don't have to," Ollie bit his lip, sitting back up straight in Quinn's lap.
“I’m scared is all. I think I’ll be able to do it if I can see you every now and then.” He murmured, placing his hands on Ollie’s hips.
"You can come see me whenever you want me to," Ollie replied, drawing circles on Quinn's chest, "If you ever need me you can come see me."
“I meant during school, love.” He chuckled weakly, shutting his eyes at the soothing touch. “I can’t come into your classes. Find me at lunch though? Sit with me.”
Ollie blushed, "Right yeah, duh…" He sighed, "And the teachers are pretty shitty, you honestly could," He mumbled, "But I'll find you at lunch."
“Good… thank you Ollie.” He grabbed Ollie’s collar and gently pulled him down for a loving kiss. “You’re the best thing to ever happen to me.”
Ollie's blush deepened, going bright red at Quinn's actions and the kiss, "I-I um… I dunno about that…"
Quinn laughed faintly, his smile returning in its full. “It’s true and you can’t convince me otherwise.” He pecked Ollie’s cheek and sighed. “Now hurry and get in the shower so you’ll be clean for school.”
Ollie pouted but moved off of Quinn's lap, "Yes sir, whatever you say sir." He joked, grabbing a new change of clothes as he headed to the bathroom.
Quinn laughed gently, watching Ollie move around the room. “If you get lonely in there I’d be glad to join you~” he teased, smiling sweetly.
Ollie went fire red, stuttering as he tried to come up with a response. He liked the idea but he wouldn't admit it just yet as he hurried off.
Quinn chuckled to himself, smiling at the door even after Ollie had left through it. He sighed, laying back against the headboard of the bed.
His eyes turned to his phone when it began to ring. An unknown number… he didn’t answer.
Ollie didn't shower for long, not wanting to leave Quinn for longer then necessary. He made sure he was clean and completely finished in the bathroom before he headed back, humming lightly to himself.
Quinn smiled as Ollie returned, humming happily. “Hello my handsome love.” He purred, standing up to hug the other gently. “May I borrow your shower?”
Ollie was still a stuttery mess from before, and slightly pink, "Y-Yeah, go right a-ahead."
Quinn laughed gently and gave Ollie a quick kiss. “Did I embarrass you? I’m only teasing you, I’m sorry if it was too much. Just know that I’m going to take it as fast or as slow as you want… I’d be up for joining you anytime…” he said softly, going shy near the end.
"N-No, it's okay," Ollie smiled shyly, kissing Quinn back, "I don't mind the teasing, a-and I wouldn't mind i-if you had joined me." He bit his lip, shrugging a shoulder.
It was Quinn’s turn to blush. He rubbed his neck nervously and laughed gently. “I’ve never done anything like that… we- we should, uh, t-try sometime.”
Ollie giggled softly, "I-If you wanna," He lightly pushed at Quinn's chest, "Now go shower pretty boy,"
Quinn nodded gently before laughing, kissing Ollie’s cheek. “Alright, fiiine. I’ll shower. But I’m flattered you think I’m a pretty boy.”
Ollie shrugged again, "I-I mean it's true so… why wouldn't I think that?"
