Projects Makes Things Twice as Hard (Hadox and Tohru)

Post by Knox Isreal Delger on Aug 13, 2015 14:33:11 GMT -5
Knox's sharp eyes catch the quick shift in the other boy's breathing, the way his pulse races under his skin, the constricting of his throat and the telltale bob of his Adam's apple, and his smile grows all the wider for it. He was in. Hook, line and sinker, they had a taker. And if that wasn't the best feeling in the world then he didn't know what was. Granted, it had been a gamble. He could have just as easily rejected their offer and become enraged, dumping them and taking a grade for himself instead. But he hadn't and now the duo got a free grade for a few hours of sparing him attention. Not a bad trade off.
Leaning forward slightly, Knox links his arm with Hadley's and sticks his hand out with a bright, challenging grin and a sharp glint to his eyes, "Would we lie to you? Yes, we would. But arrangement benefits us all so I see no need to stack the odds in our favour. Besides, I don't read so I wouldn't have done it myself. So do we have a deal?" Knox keeps his gaze leveled across the table, gaze unflinching and free of any malicious intent.

Hadley looks between the two of them after he speaks, dark eyes shifting from the familiar dark skin of his double to the milky colour of the stranger and their potential partner. There's so much to take in in the brief moments of silence that he can't focus on just one thing and his mind takes the initiative to race, going over the sweep of Knox's lashes to the faintest of tremors in the stranger's jaw back to the way Knox's teeth flash against the darkness of his skin. So much in so little time, so little to process in the magnitude of the situation because there just isn't enough time and his eyes want to drink in everything, want to paint a picture with all the colours imaginable to relive the moment over and over again-
Hadley sucks in a sharp but silent breath when Knox's touch jerks him from his inner spiral and subtly tightens his own grip as he too extends a hand for the third party to shake, inwardly and likely outwardly cringing at Knox's words because they were anything but reassuring the way they came out. But anything other than that wouldn't be his brother. Good god, he hoped that didn't just screw them over.

Tohru just had to sit in stunned silence for a few moments. This was really happening, he was about to get a date with two incredibly sexy men who just so happened to be twins as well. Gods, he could already imagine the date, their voices, and the way Knox gave that sexy grin and Hadley had those dark, thoughtful eyes which right now seemed to be racing. This was it, a pivotal point in his life which would be marked with a handshake, the date of his life for what? Some no-brainer project he could have already finished? It was a deal without any hesitation.
Tohru boldly reached out to shake both of their hands, grip tightening for the slightest moment on Knox’s, eyes flashing as he growled, “Fuck with me and we all go down.” Before letting go and grabbing the poster board he had brought with him. After that moment, the twins may as well have not even been there, he was completely focused, typing up paragraphs and printing images and connecting things with twine and pushpins to mark major plot connections. As he had said, the project was done within an hour, looking almost as if he had taken a solid week to finish the masterpiece.

Knox's grin turns nasty as he crushes Tohru's hand in his grip, well manicured nails digging into the skin and bone, "Wouldn't dream of it, bundão." And with that Knox turns to smile to Hadley, lips brushing his cheek before he rises and disappears further into the library with a spring in his step and a soft song on his lips. He can be seen browsing through the shelves every now and again, silently mouthing words to himself as he trails his fingers over faded titles and worn out spines. But it isn't long at all before he comes trailing back to the table with an impressive stack of books and folders weighing down his arms.
He gingerly sets his conquests down and slides the books over to an eager Hadley who immediately dives in while he opens up the folders to browse through the piles of sheet music inside. He tunes everything out in favour of absorbing the notes on the pages and he quietly taps his fingers against the table, agile digits fluttering and dancing along the wood in time with the dips and crescendos of the music in his head. So immersed in the flow of his passion, Knox barely registers the candy thrown at him or the way Hadley shakes him until a sharp smack of a book against his arm makes him jerk and glare at his twin who gestures across the table at Tohru, "What, done already?"

A soft snort leaves Hadley as he shakes his head at the exchange between Knox and Tohru, an amused smile curling his lips before he watches his brother disappear into the recesses of the library. He leans his elbow against the table and idly watches the other boy work, dark eyes lazily watching his hands- fast hands, slender, good for painting or gardening- before sliding across the room to seek out his double and the way he slinks between the isles like a shadow right at home in the emptiness and back to Tohru.
When Knox comes back with the gift of books Hadley beams and immediately immerses himself in the smell of old ink and the worlds hidden within, every so often darting a glance to his two companions in between handfuls of snacks. It's only when his hand touches the bottom of the bag that Hadley completely rises from his book to look around and he's startled to see Tohru finished the project. So he closes his book and nudges Knox- no response. So he repeats the action a little more forcefully- still nothing. Frowning deeply and physically turning to face his brother, Hadley grabs a handful of Knox's snacks and throws them at him only to be ignored once again. Irritably brushing back his hair leads Hadley to smack the other boy in the arm, this time successfully garnering the attention he desired and directing Knox to the project across the table.

Tohru watches the exchange with thinly veiled amusement, grey eyes flicking lazily over the two as he waits for them to finish their banter. Honestly, they two were simply adorable together if he were to be honest with himself, which he wasn't, but still it was at least entertaining to watch take place. Once the two males had completed their banter, Tohru sat up a bit straighter, allowing them to peruse the finished project at their leisure. Sitting back in his chair, Tohru let himself relax against the horribly uncomfortable material with gritted teeth.
"So..." The student began thoughtfully, letting the word hang in the air between all of them for a moment before sitting back up and speaking once more, eyes glinting, "Where are we gonna go? I was thinking we could grab some coffee together, but I honestly wouldn't be opposed to anything else. Of course...we could always stay in together." Tohru gave a playful wink and then laughed softly to himself, shaking his head at thoughts of the twins taking it seriously and getting pissed off.

Knox had to admit, the project looked good. Definitely a passing grade. And he didn't have to do any of the work. If that wasn't the best thing this year so far he didn't know what was. As his eyes roamed over the project and all it's intricacies he couldn't help but idly think about getting this guy to do his homework for him all year. He wouldn't, of course, and he could already feel Hadley's accusing stare burn into the side of his head for just thinking about it. Sighing, he softly shook his head and settled back in his chair with his arms folded over his chest and his eyes closed, dark lashes sweeping over his cheeks. Oh well. It was a nice thought while it lasted.
But naturally it melted away and left Knox faced with his next obstacle: his joined date with a stranger. It was only fair that he- they- keep their side of the bargain but he was already cringing at the thought. But a deal was a deal and Knox may have been many things but deal breaker wasn't one of them. So he opened his eyes, first catching sight of the male across the table before turning to look at Hadley with a slight frown tugging at his lips. The older twin gave him a meaningful look, loose strands of hair framing his face as his fingers tapped softly against the table. So it had been decided, then.

It was immaculate, to say the least. A true work of art. And the fact that it was done in only an hour left Hadley at a loss for words. He wouldn't admit it but it truly impressed him. He knew Knox likely felt the same but would sooner break all his fingers one at a time before admitting it. That was just how he was. Hadley reached out a hand to ghost his fingers along the project, trailing along a line of string to where it connected to another event and yet more strings, dark eyes absorbing every minute detail before he snapped his gaze to Knox. With a project this high quality there was no doubt his brother would want more of the same- a high grade with no work of his own in exchange for something so menial as a few hours of their time? He'd more often than not take that deal in a heartbeat but Hadley would most certainly not. So he continued to stare at Knox until he opened his eyes and turned to look at him.
Good. He knew better.
So Hadley's look shifted imperceptibly under Knox's gaze and he drew his hand back from the project to drum his fingers along the smooth wood of the table with a gentle ratta tat tat sound. He saw understanding come to Knox's face and smiled faintly as he swung himself to face the other boy, voice steady and commanding despite it's soft tone, "We're having dinner then going out for coffee. We pick where. No room for discussion."

Tohru was honestly amused by all the silent exchanges between the two males. He was amused and if he were to be fully honest with himself, which he rarely was, Tohru felt almost envious. Never in his life had he had anyone who he could communicate that well with. Anyone he knew all about who he could talk to without saying a word. Really…Tohru had never had anyone. Howeverm he stopped his thoughts right there. He was better off alone. It was safe, happy, these two were just sexy twins and he wanted a one night stand with them, right? …Right…
Blinking at the response from Hadley, Tohru gave an almost too-eager nod, “Perfect. I mean hell yeah. I…wow, fuck, I mean cool. Yeah. Whatever.” What was WITH him!? He had never lost his calm in front of anyone before and here he was acting like a twelve year old girl. Glaring at everything, Tohru stood and grabbed his bag, their project tucked under his arm, “Well you two better fucking hurry up if you want this to last for less time. I know you two probably would rather be dead than this based on the warm welcome.” It was obvious though from Tohru’s eyes that he surprisingly didn’t mean anything negative, that it was a genuine observation, and if one looked hard enough, that he wanted those twins so bad that they could get him to do anything. Oh yes. Hadley and Knox had Tohru completely wrapped around their fingers, they owned him.
