Aidan continued to eat as he waited for Jesse to respond. The silence wasn't particularly awkward, it was just strange. Jesse always seemed to respond quickly, well at least he did for the day they had known each other. He wondered if this was how it felt for the other boy when he was waiting for Aidan to respond earlier if so, he felt bad. The longer it took the more awkward it got, but it was even weirder when he spoke so slowly. It was confusing as to why he said no, when he later said he ate a little, but Aidan ignored the statement. He figured that if Jesse had a class as soon as he did then he should probably get food, or he would hungry; and Aidan knew from experience being hungry through an entire class was pure torture. For a minute he was actually considering, suggesting to Jesse he get actual food because like the brown haired boy had said earlier, breakfast was extremely important. But why should he be worried? It's not like he cared... Cause he totally didn't...why should it make him feel worse to know he could say something that might make Jesse's say a bit easier? It's not like they were together. It wasn't his job to keep track of someone else's healthcare needs. Ugh, then why did he feel so responsible. Maybe it was because he knew that technically him and Jesse should be together, the only thing preventing that was his own bad memories, so he felt a sense of responsibility. If something bad happened to Jesse, then wouldn't it be his responsibility to help? He really didn't know how this whole soulmate thing worked anyway, and he definitely had no intention of finding out.
After a moment of being lost in his own contradictory mind he responded. "Oh, okay." he stated simply. His heart was telling him to speak to and say something but his mind was screaming no way. Oh how he hated this totally torn and confused feeling. After all it's not like he hated Jesse, he just didn't like that they were soulmates, at all. He probably would have had no problem asking out Jesse or maybe being asked out by him if they weren't 'supposed' to be together.
The black haired male bore a confused expression when he thought Jesse was looking at him, he didn't realize he was looking at a restaurant behind him. Aidan watched as Jesse practically jumped out of his seat. He then realized that he wasn't what had caught the other boys attention. "okay..." he responded quickly as Jesse raced to the counter, "I guess I'll just wait here then", he mumbled after Jesse had walked away already. This was his chance. His mind was telling him "hey you can get away now! Bolt for the door he wont even see you leave." But if course Aidan knew he couldn't do it(even if he wanted to). So he just waited.
Even though Aidan never turned around to see the cashier look at him, he felt like someone was looking at him. And the feeling sent a shive up his spine. However when he turned around he didn't see anyone looking at him. He let out a sigh and withing a few seconds Jesse was back. He watched him eat for a moment, then realized how strange such an action was and peeled his eyes away. He had completely forgotten about the half eaten sandwich in front of him. If he hadn't it probably would have made this game feel less awkward, because he was waiting for Jesse to finish.
