highschool au where it's vik's first day and simon is a little bit too eager to show him around. also, they're siblings. two years apart. 
                          
i made simon a little... different in this one. hopefully its not too offputting
                          
ps. im american (surprise.) and i have no clue how english school systems work. so im writing about my (american) hs to spare myself the agony.
                          
also snuck minizerk in here cause i fucking can. fight me. 
                          
"Come on, Vik! We're going to be late because of you!" Simon exclaims hurriedly as he runs along the concrete path, dragging his brother by the sleeve.
                          
"...we still have twenty minutes!"
                          
It's the first day of school; most older siblings feel the urge to show the younger ones around, and Simon Minter is no exception.
                          
"Come on! I need you to meet JJ, Josh, Cal, everyone!"
                          
Vik sighs. "I've met them before, remember? You drag them to our house every other week."
                          
"Oh yeah." Simon frowns. However, it is instantly replaced with a wide grin. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"So this is the Commons," Simon says as he gestures vaguely to the large empty space in front of the duo.
                          
Vik rolls his eyes. "Yeah, I've been here before. A lot of times, actually."
                          
"You have?" Simon frowns, bemused. "Oh, right! The 'Fall Family Picnics,' huh?" Without waiting for an answer, he continued. "Well, that doesn't matter! Here, let me show you to your homeroom. Looks like you have Ms. Jenkins," he says as he leads Vik down a hallway, almost shoving him into the first door on the right. 
                          
"But wait!" Vik protests. "Can't I drop my stuff off at my locker first?"
                          
"Oh. Sure! What's your locker number, then?" Simon answers.
                          
"Ninety-four."
                          
Simon grins. "Ninety-four, eh? That was Josh's locker when we were your age. This way, follow me!"
                          
Vik huffs silently, and mutters to himself, "He's all 'Josh this, Josh that.' I can't stand it. When will he just admit his feelings for the guy and get it over with?"
                          
"I heard that!" Simon calls over his shoulder. He suddenly stops at a locker not too far away. "Over here, it is. And why do you accuse me of, as you put it, 'having feelings for' Josh? I'm not g-"
                          
"I've seen your Tumblr, Simon," Vik states bluntly. "I know you're pansexual."
                          
Simon flushes, his face turning a bright red. "Wh-what? No, that can't be right... How did you find it? I never gave you the link."
                          
"Let's just say... your computer password was pretty easy to guess."
                          
As he left Simon to comprehend this information, he busied himself with emptying out the unneeded books into his locker. 
                          
"Anyway, Si, I gotta get to first period. Maths," Vik says with a sigh. "See ya around. You should probably get going too."

"So how was your first day of high school, Vik? Enjoy it?" Simon asks with a smile.
                          
Vik pauses. "Uh... yeah. We don't have any new students this year, which is quite odd. But it was good, overall."
                          
"Cool." 
                          
Simon then faintly begins to hum, which puts Vik off-guard. "What's up with you today, Simon? You never hum. What happened?"
                          
"Oh, just... you know. New school year and that. You get to see everyone again," Simon answers, albeit a bit evasively.
                          
"I don't believe that for one second. This has something to do with Josh, doesn't it?"
                          
"Maybe," Simon says, but the grin growing on his face proved otherwise.
                          
"Tell me what happened," Vik insisted.
                          
Simon sighed. "Maybe later, little bro. Right now I have to focus on driving, and if I get too excited I'll crash. You don't want that, do you?"

As Simon and Vik were wrapping up their night and getting in bed, Vik realized something.
                          
"Hey, you never told me what happened between you and Josh."
                          
Simon pauses. "Oh, that. Yeah, uh... we kinda kissed. Long story."
                          
"Wow, really?" Vik asks incredulously. Not waiting for an answer, he turns his head to the skies and remarks to nobody in particular, "My brother has got himself a boyfriend. Who would've guessed?"
                          
"Not officially," Simon corrects. "It's been, like, eight hours."
                          
"Whatever. Goodnight... love you."
                          
"Love you too, little bro."
                          
i should totally turn this into a series.
