Two Red Strings

treebros angst lovers come get ur juice

Evan smiled fondly at the memory of Connor helping him up, and them walking together. Connors arm around his waist, his arm around Connor's shoulde- oh shit.

Evan's face felt hot. He tried to ignore the thoughts of Connor but it didn't work.

"Cod damn it. Why is Connor so hottt?" he said under his breath.

"Did you say something acorn?"

"Wha- what?" Evan was shaken out of his daze by Jared's voice, "oh uh, no. also, acorn?"

Jared shrugged, "eh, felt like trying something new."

"Hm, well, well i quite like it. So, um use it, if you, if you want."

"Alright, I will Acorn." Jared placed a quick kiss to Evan's cheek. "Now c'mon and get in the car."

Evan blushed and got into the passenger seat

"You want to come to my house, or should I just drop you off at home?"

"If you could drop me off at, at um the orchard, that'd be great."

"Alrighty." Jared said, nodding. He was used to dropping off Evan at the Orchard when he was stressed. And considering it was the first day, it made sense.

Jared left the school parking lot and started driving to the orchard, knowing the route by memory. The ride was mainly silent, that is until Jared spoke up.

"Ohmygosh dude, you'll never guess who i got partnered with in biology."

"Hmm?"

"Connor. Murphy."

"Holy shit. Waitwait, seriously?!"

"Yea, I know right! We watched mlp in class lol"

Evan laughed, "That's amazing."

Jared continued to tell Evan about Connor until they eventually reached the Orchard.

"Alright, be safe, make sure to call me if you need a ride back."

"I will."

"Ok bye, I love you."

"Love you too." Evan said, placing a quick kiss to Jared's lips before exiting the car.

"Bye Acorn!! See you soonnnnnnn" Jared said, driving away. Leaving Evan alone and surrounded by trees.

~🌲~

Connor was stressed. That was putting it lightly. He yet again failed at befriending Evan. Him and Jared are science partners. Jared, who is apparently one of Connor's soulmates.

Who wouldn't be stressed.

Whenever Connor gets stressed, he goes to the Orchard to get high as fuck. And thats what he was doing right now.

Connor jumped the fence to the Orchard and began walking around. Looking for a good place to get high. The trees and scent of apples were really relaxing, and Connor allowed himself to visit his thoughts.

For some reason, he thought of Jared. Was it because he was crushing on Jared? Probably. Was Connor willing to accept that? Maybe. Only because if things didn't work out with Evan, he'd have a backup crush.

Plus Jareds his soulmate so, if things didn't work out with Evan, Connor was pretty much set.

Smiling at the thought, Connor returned his focus to looking for a place to get high.

Sadly, he didn't find a good place to get high, instead he found an all to familiar head of Blonde hair.

He stared at the other boy, unsure if he should approach him or not. Then he remembered how his other experiences with the boy went and decided against it.

Connor wanted to walk away, go back to his car, but his body wouldn't move. No, he just stayed there staring at Evan Hansen.

It didn't take Evan too long to notice Connor. Soon enough, Evan was staring as well.

The two of them were a few yards away from each other. The Orchard was quiet, except for the faint songs of birds in the background and for a moment, both boys felt at peace.

That peace was soon broken by Connor suddenly realizing that they were just staring at each other, not saying anything. He suddenly felt uncomfortable in the situation, and dashed away from it. Leaving Evan staring in confusion at where the taller teen once was.

As Connor decided he was far enough away from Evan, he slowed down. There was one thing on his mind.

He needed to befriend Evan.

But he was too much of a screw-up to even hold a conversation with the boy. So how was he supposed to befriend him??

Then Connor had a fantastic idea.

He'd email Evan.
