❝ Oh, c’mon. I thought they were pretty friggin’ good. Hell, I kinda wish my name was Jack right now. – ‘Cause I’d DEFINITELY say somethin’ along th’lines of ‘you got Jacked.’ ❞
There’s that SMUG GRIN that he had etched upon his features whenever he said something clever. Personally, Dean thought himself to be pretty damn funny, and Emmett’s reaction CONFIRMED that for him. Now, of course, the next logical thing to do would be to challenge him at his own game.
❝ I bet y’can’t top that. I’d like t’see you TRY, bud. ❞
"Just when I thought you couldn’t get any more corny, you go and prove me hella wrong. Great job, sir jokes-a-lot. A point for you.“
Of course, it was pretty obvious that he was answering in quite the sarcastic tone even though he was being playful. In some STRANGE way, he actually enjoyed the male’s corniness along with his ’somewhat’ horrible jokes that were so bad he had to give at least a small chuckle. One thing he had to admit, he liked how Dean didn’t hold back on anything he said—the fact that he would challenge you at the most awkward types of things, like a ’who can be more corny’ contest.
”————fine..“ "Why didn’t the toilet paper cross the road?” “….” “It got stuck in a crack."
( Even if he laughed or not, he found it funny and let out a laugh. )
( It hadn’t been UNUSUAL for people to become interested in him after all people did think he was INSANE. After all he did BREAK into houses and STEAL things, got into FIGHTS, accused of BUSTING someone car. Not to mention, that he was also RELATED to town’s biggest LIAR. He was almost like a CIRCUS attraction. Of course, Mike was going to give the male the BENEFIT of the DOUBT. Although he had to be CAREFUL not everyone is TRUSTWORTHY. Not everyone is who they are. Giving him a smile as he CONTINUED to EXPLAIN himself away. )
❛ Again, it TENDS to HAPPEN so don’t worry. No, that wasn’t weird, trust me when i say that i know what weird is. ❜
( Mike raised his eyebrow at the request but decided to help him nonetheless. Picking his own things up. )
❛ No, i wouldn’t mind. ❜
( From when he first walked into the new school, people were giving him looks of curiosity. He could honestly hear every single whisper that was being traded between the students. He paid them no mind as his attention stayed fully on the male right beside him. Of course, he knew how to make his way around the school due to the fact that earlier that same day, his grade level principal gave him a small tour of the school. Therefore, he knew where his home room was, he just wanted to stay near the male for as long as possible. He seemed to be the only one that didn’t care about who he was, where he came from, or why out of all places his family chose to move here—-Rosewood. That was a story that he would have to get to later, when the ‘younger’ male started getting curious and asked questions. )
“Thanks man, I owe you one. It would’ve took me forever to find my way around here..”
“——back home, my highschool wasn’t near this big..”
( Actually, it was—maybe even a bit larger but he was trying to play off the whole ’help me, i’m clueless’ act as best as he could. He gripped onto his text book a bit tighter and gave the male a light smile, assuring him that he was ready for his guidance. )
FOR THE SHORT amount of time he had half of his hulking body submerged into the water, he closed his eyelids, focusing on the sounds of the forest. The chittering of squirrels readying themselves into their hideouts, the late-night chirping of birds settling into their nests, the odd deer or two stepping on the crunchy leaves of the forest ground. It had been only a few minutes, of simple serenity, did he catch a harsher sound, of something zooming across the forest to his general direction. Benjamin, having nothing to fear, remained perfectly still. The seven-eight musculature was slumped against the filled rock pool, the level of water coming up to cover a short percentage of his chest. The heat radiating out of him caused steam to billow profusely into the air, the water became warm, the night sky was darkening, and with this new visitor coming by, there was only so much he could do but wait. Though he could not hear a heartbeat, he could hear the way his hands and feet moved against the trunk of a tree, and the dirt on the ground. Not only that, he could smell him. ❛ You don’t have to hide from me. I won’t hurt you. ❜ The phoenix said in a clear voice: from where he was sitting, he had his back turned to the stranger — for now.
Keeping his finger tips buried deep in the bark of the tree, he allowed a SCOWLING look cover his features as a low growl left his parted lips, his bare teeth showing. He was mostly angry that someone else had discovered his secret hiding area, a place that he labeled as sacred for himself, a place that he had known of since he was simply a MEER child–a place he thought he’d never had to share. Emmett had to control himself, he knew that if he were to just up and attack the male, things could end horribly. Not that he was afraid, but he knew that Carlisle wouldn’t be very pleased about his actions. Taking in a deep breath, he gently loosened his grip and removed his finger tips from the now cracked bark. His eyes widened once again as he heard the male’s voice, that’s when he finally realized who this “stranger” was. He overreacted for no reason at all. The angry scowl fastly disappeared and was replaced with a bright smile on his lips. Ignoring the male’s words, he lifted up the ends of his shirt and tossed it on top of the small pile of leaves, stripping himself of his pants as well, leaving him in only a pair of tight fitted boxers. Usually, he’d be sparkling right now but since it was quite close to night fall, the sun had no effect to him. At a fast speed, he ran towards the watering hole and hopped in, sinking himself in and smirking as he finally spoke, making himself be noticed.
“Well well, if it isn’t my boy, Benji. Tell me, what brings you way out here?”
( Come on, the height and weight JOKES were getting a bit old. Though, for some odd reason—when Dean cracked a joke at him, he couldn’t help but give him that cheesy grin in return. )
“I swear, I’ve never met someone as CORNY as yourself and believe me… I’m pretty damn corny, so that alone should tell you something.”
“Need s'more protein bars in your milkshake pal? I’m Dean by the way. Are you bulking up for the strongest man in the world competition?”
Leave it to Dean to be a utter duchebag to a guy who could crush his head open.His eyes were golden, either they were a actor, or some fairy. He looked at his pectorals, Dean is insanely jealous now.
( If Emmett had a dollar every time he heard someone crack a small joke surrounded by his weight and height, he’d he the richest man in the world. You’d think that it would annoy him to the highest extent, though he honestly liked the attention—good or bad. He instantly crossed his arms over his chest and let that playful smirk appear on his lips. )
“Surely haven’t heard that one yet…”
( Yep, that was some sarcasm. Playful sarcasm that is. )
“Pleasure meeting ya’ dude. No protein bars needed over here bud, this is all natural and all me. Hard work and dedication.”
( This must have been the NEW guy that he had been hearing so much about. After all anyone who was CRAZY enough to move to this TWISTED town was obvious setting them up for GOSSIP. He gave HIM a couple of WEEKS before he left TOWN like all the newcomers. Looking up at him to see what he was DEALING with. The guy was HUGE, both HEIGHT and BODY BUILT wise. Although was he a FRIEND or a FOE.)
❛Oh? Well in that CASE, i’m sorry that I ASSUMED that you were STARING at me. I know I do that too.❜
( Out of every single scent that roamed the halls, this male’s was the one that stuck out most to him. It was as if he couldn’t stay away from the male, although he knew he had to—unless he wanted to be labeled as the new transfer that liked popping people’s personal bubbles. He just had to control himself enough to where he wouldn’t come off as weird as he probably already did. One hand was stuffed into his right pocket and the other was gripped onto his text book. His eyes lingered on the other male for a small second before he cleared his throat once again. )
“Sometimes the train of thought just gets the best of me. No need to apologize, if anyone is apologizing, it should be me. ———–I know that came off quite weird..”
❛ I APPRECIATE the attention but if you would PLEASE stop staring at me? ❜
( Although he didn’t mean to stare, he couldn’t help himself. It was every day you came across someone that gave off a scent like his. A scent that was so unique and strong. He smelled of a scent that he just couldn’t place his finger on, nor he could get enough of. He tried his best to play it off by crossing his arms over his chest and clearing his throat. )
“—–ahhh, my apologies. I didn’t even notice I was.
sometimes I get lost in my own train of thought. please do forgive me?”
