"A Laser light show?" Grian read the poster that Dom had given him. Silly, Dom, J, Taurtis, and Grian sat at the lunch table and stared at the colorful poster. J took a bite from his sandwich and looked at the time before sighing.

"It's at midnight, no way your parents will let us go," J groaned.

"Haven't you heard of 'sneaking out'?" Dom wrapped his arm around acted like he was showing him a double rainbow. J shook his head.

"I'll go get my wrenches" Dom cheered at J's response and got all of them to agree to sneak out and meet him at the shop at 11:14. Taurtis had a look of mischief yet nervousness on his face. This has been the first time in a while that he had even planned to break the rules. That didn't mean he was a goodie two shoes. Grian seemed to be tired of being the voice of reason and didn't seem to panic as much as he used to. He still had to keep his guard up from their antics.

Taurtis had put his music on and grabbed his wallet which had a red and blue "T" stitched on the front as a birthday gift. He had made sure not to make any creaking noises from the stairs before tip toeing out of the door and running to the shop.

Silly had peeked to her living room and saw what she needed to see in order to leave. Rowan and Okami passed out from movie night. Rowan wrapped around Okami in a blanket while they are both snoring. Silly wasn't always a goodie two shoes and changed their movie into a movie that anybody including a PTSD war veteran and his gentle but firm wife falls asleep to.

J had grabbed one of his wrenches just in case they needed them. He sighed before holding a framed photo of his parents when they were young and J when he was a baby. J put the photo down and walked out of his house nonchalantly. He didn't need to sneak out when he didn't have any parents to stop him.

Grian wished his mother would stop him. He wished his mother would recognize if he was gone. He wished he lived with her in England. Most importantly, he wishes she knew when to put her flask down. After the divorce, his mother's depression worsened and so did her drinking. He shook his head and walked out the door only to see Dom casually walk out of his house with no struggle or a fight.

"Does your dad know?" Grian asked.

"Do you think my dad even cares if I even come home?" Dom didn't make eye contact and just walked to the shop along with Grian.

All five of them had sat down in their seats and looked up. They were all in darkness before a single laser appeared and then a huge flash of color burst through. The group stood in awe as the instruments played in the background. During that, Taurtis' phone died and his own music he would listen to was off.

Then a blast of loud music filled the stadium and the lights went rapidly. Many of the people were scared for fear of having a seizure, not Taurtis. Taurtis was scared for a different reason.

Taurtis held his headphones and tried to push them on his ears so they would block the music. When Taurtis was little, he was terrified of loud noises and was bullied to the point that children would scream into his ears until he screamed himself, crying and begging not to go to school. His mother gave him headphones to block out the noises and now he still uses the headphones. Not just for listening to his own music at low volume, but as a coping mechanism.

Grian turned to see Taurtis who let go of his headphones and is now clutching the seat, shaking with widened eyes. He had a look of worry before trying to find a way to help him.

Grian had snuck his hand to where Taurtis was clutching the seat from and grabbed his hand, rubbing his palm with his thumb in a circular motion.

This did cause him to jump, but when he looked at his hand, he was shocked... and touched. He looked at the male who was subtly comforting him and saw that he wasn't looking at him but felt his gaze. He nodded quickly and hiddenly so only Taurtis could see. Taurtis understood what he meant and held his hand. He relaxed and looked up to see the show. Silly fell asleep while J and Dom didn't seem focused on the show themselves.

Taurtis then calmed down and sighed. He was uncomfortable, but not as tense. He would squeeze Grian's hand, fearing that the would hurt him, whenever there was a drum solo but Grian never moved his hand for the entire show.

and by some type of magical force, Taurtis blocked out some of the loud noises and enjoyed the rest of the show

I AM SO SORRY, I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN UPLOADING AS MUCH! But when school starts, I won't be able to upload as much. I know this is supposed to be a daily challenge but I might get too stressed to write because of school. I will try and complete the challenge but it may be a LONG time. And I'm sorry that this is shorter than usual, they may vary from prompt to prompt on the length and I can't be able to follow the 1000 minimum word limit.

Thank you all for your patience
