They were in the library, which was quiet as only a library could manage to be. They had been doing homework, though they weren't anymore even if they still looked like they were.
Jake scooted closer, sitting on the edge of his chair. To anyone else it would have looked like he was just leaning over Avery's book, revising with him. Unseen under the table, their legs pressed together and Avery hooked an ankle around one of Jake's, Jake's hand on Avery's thigh. The smaller boy leaned closer with a smile as he was whispered to, until their heads were within an inch of touching. They wouldn't openly touch here, not in the library at school, but they got as close as possible, unaware of the few knowing glances or outright stares. Jake grinned at something Avery whispered back, stopping the absent movement of his fingers over Avery's thigh when the other boy shifted slightly, and the two of them shared a look before Jake once more picked up his pen without moving away.
