Evan looked from where he sat across the cafeteria to where the Plastics sat, all poised with their designer clothes and primped hair. He had sat with them once. He didn't anymore, because they rejected him after that one day, but he didn't mind. Zoe and Alana were mean anyways. Connor, however...

"You okay there, kid?" Jared waved a hand over his eyes and pulled Evan from his trance.

The blonde blinked a few times before nodding. "Yeah I'm fine. I was just..."

"Staring. At them. Again," Jared rolled his eyes, taking a bite of his burrito. "Are you sure nothing happened that one day you sat with them?"

"Yeah I'm positive," Evan nodded, picked at his untouched salad and thinking back to that day all those weeks ago...

"So you're a Cali boy?" Alana leaned over the table and rested her head in her hands. "Have you ever been to LA?"

Evan shook his head, pushing his untouched lunch around with us fork. He was too nervous to eat. "I've lived in northern California for most of my life. We almost never left our town."

"How can you live in California but never go to Los Angles?" Zoe giggled, tucking a piece of her chocolate hair behind her ear. "That's like saying..."

"Well have you ever been to Chicago, Zoe?" Connor frowned at his sister, who shook her head. "Then how can you be from Illinois and never have been to Chicago? Leave the poor boy alone, he's had enough of your questions."

Both Alana and Zoe frowned, pulling themselves away from Evan, and he felt himself let out a huge breath he didn't even know he'd been holding in. He tried making eye contact with Connor, but he'd turned away and was in his phone, his black nailed fingers wrapped around his his iced coffee before Evan got the chance.

Evan almost had a heart attack when the bell rang, and everyone around them got up to leave, including Alana and Zoe.

"Hey," Evan tapped lightly on Connor's shoulder as he cleaned up his food.. "I just wanted to thank you for um...standing up for me before. With Alana and Zoe and everything I just..."

"Don't sweat it, I saw you looked a like nervous," the bracelets that decorated the taller boy's arm jingled as he quietly got up and sipped the rest of the drink. "Hey, why don't you come over to my place after school? We could just hang out. Zoe's going out with some friends, so we'll be alone."

Evan froze. "Um...yeah, sure. I'm free."

"Cool, I can drive you after school."

"Yeah, cool," the blonde cracked a small smile as he watched the other boy's leather boots make their way out of the cafeteria.

"Evan..." Jared clapped his hands loudly by the boy's ear, scaring him half to death. "Sorry. You were staring again."

Across the cafeteria, Connor leaned his head on his hand, trying to catch looks at the blonde boy in the corner table when he wasn't looking.

"Connor, what the hell are you doing?" Zoe swatted his arm. "Don't look at him."

"I wasn't," her brother averted his eyes away quickly, and instead grabbed his phone and began to scroll through his Instagram as if nothing happened.

"Yes you were," Alana gave him a look.

Connor glared at her. "Shut the fuck up, Alana. I wasn't."

"I already told you why we kicked him out. He was going to ruin the balance," Zoe twirled her pen in between her fingers. "People think he's weird, and the fact that he sits with Jared Kleinman doesn't help. If we're seen with him again, it won't look good."

"But we could help him build a good reputation," Connor huffed. "We could.."

"There's already rumors swirling around school that you're going insane," Alana frowned, fixing her glasses. "Someone saw you smoking the other day outside of school. You need to be more careful, or else people will start to think you're..."

"Well fuck other people, I like him," Connor muttered, running a hand through his hair.

Zoe sighed. "How much do you like him?"

There was a long moment of silence between them before Connor mumbled, "I..."

"No, not another word," Zoe shook her head, her chocolate curls flying. "You're Connor Murphy. You're the most popular person in school, everyone is below you. So you will not have a crush on someone with such a low stature like anxious Evan Hansen. Right?"

He took a sip of his iced coffee. "Fine whatever," he muttered, rolling his eyes and Zoe seemed pleased with herself and the conversation ceased.

But no one saw his crossed fingers under the table.

As soon as he shut the doors behind him, Connor's felt his lips connect with that of his boyfriend's and he pushed him against the wall. Caught by surprise, the smaller boy didn't know what to do so he just kissed back moved his hands into Connor's long, smooth locks.

"God, you have no fucking idea how badly I wanted to do that since lunch today," Connor breathed heavily one they pulled apart, his face painted a darker crimson. He cupped the other boy's face in his hands and kissed him again, this time more gentle and sweeter. "I love you Evan Hansen."

The blonde blushed furiously. "No one's home right?"

"Zoe and Alana went out, she won't be back for a few hours," Connor said in between kisses. "We have time."

"Good," Evan breathed as Connor's lips moved from his forehead down to his neck.

"You're so fucking beautiful," the taller boy pulled away for a moment so he could look in his boyfriend's eyes. "I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"You're even more gorgeous," Evan touched their foreheads together. "Gosh, you're just...no wonder you're above everyone else."

Connor shook his head. "I'm not above everyone else."

"You act so different when you're not in school," the blonde giggled. "Not as mean."

He couldn't resist leaning down to connect their lips together again, and this time, neither let go. Soon they had created a steady rhythm and Evan was tugging at the taller boy's black designer jacket, pulling it off of his long arms.

They were so immersed in each other that neither heard the front door open downstairs or a pair of heels click down the hard wood hallway. They didn't notice it when Zoe opened Connor's bedroom door or heard when gasped in surprise of what she saw.

But Connor's eyes opened just in time to see his sister about to take a picture of the evidence.

And bam. Done.

You have no idea how many times is rewritten this oneshot because none of them sounded right. But I did it so yay.

Jimmy Award winner Andrew Feldman is taking on the role of Evan on January 30th and why is he the cutest little bean in the Evan costume??? Also he's only 16 and he's already so talented.
