- i can see you guys meeting in elementary school
and then growing up together pretty much

- he would always defend you if someone teased you at school

- and you guys would mark each other's heights on the wall to see who's the tallest

- but anyway

- hanging out at beachfront houses that were currently in the process of construction

- having a few beers and just talking

- especially after a long day

- until the day got even longer when you had to run from security

- they never caught you

- you and john b were pros at this point so they couldn't catch you

- late night drives through the island in the twinkie

- sometimes neither of you wanted to be home and would rather go out for a drive

- it was calming for both of you, listening to the low hum of music coming from the radio as john b drove

- in fact, you guys have slept in the twinkie once or twice

- once john b parked in one of your secluded spots he knew no one would be, you guys were too tired to go back to the chateau

- and when you woke up the next morning, you decided to head to a little diner for some breakfast

- john b would never be satisfied with his order

- he might like it, but your food is always more appealing to him

- no matter what you get

- waffles

- eggs

- hashbrowns

- french toast

- expect john b to have a bite or three off your plate

- ok let's talk about halloween

- ever since you were kids it's been both of your favorite holidays

- not only because you liked the scary movies and decorations, but because you did coordinated costumes for as long as you could remember

- your parents usually bought john b's costume too because you wouldn't stop begging them

- and money was tight in his family but he still wanted to match with you

- as every year went by you started to run out of ideas

- some of kid costumes were

- salt and pepper shakers

- minnie & mickey mouse

- the twins from the shining (yes you made john b wear a wig)

- a box of crayons (it was just a giant box that fit two people in it, so you had to move as one. you guys built it yourselves and cut the arm holes out, painted it, and sloppily wrote 'crayons' on the front)

- mr and mrs potato head

- and one year, an old horse mascot from your elementary school that they had retired

- guess who was the tail end

- sorry john b

- and then when you were older and going out on your own, more so to halloween parties at the boneyard, your costumes were...

- the joker and harley quinn

- peter pan and tinker bell

- shaggy and velma

- mr. and mrs. incredible

- that's all i can think of right now lol

- anywayss

- when you were kids, you'd always combine your pillowcases full of candy and divide them into piles

- and then give each other the ones you didn't like

- now when you go to the boneyard for the annual halloween party, everyone assumes you and john b are a couple

- as well as on any other occasion pretty much because you two were close

- but the tourons especially

- which worked in your favor sometimes when you didn't want to delve into conversation with anyone

- you and john b get mistaken for a couple a lot

- at restaurants more so than anywhere else

- the server always assumes you're on a date

- in fights, topper will make jabs at you hoping it will get under john b's skin

- and it usually does

- all it takes is a: "nah, he won't hit me with his girl standing there. he's too pussywhipped to disobey her."

- before john b is practically throwing this dude in the ocean

- anyways

- scary movie marathons all the time

- john b would be in charge of the drinks while you're in charge of the snacks

- you know what the other likes by now, so it's not hard to pick

- when the pogues join in on your movie nights, you always insist on getting the snacks

- because you or john b would feel too bad
complaining about what the others brought back

- especially jj

- because i know he likes to switch it up and try crazy food combinations

- anyways

- you'll usually go to the chateau during a storm to keep john b company

- and you'll stay up most of the night playing go fish under a lamp until the power goes out

- then you'll just play in the dark

- when you feel like the storm is too nasty you'll have john b come over to your place

- too worried about those humongous trees coming down on top of john b

- so to settle your nerves, he complied

- not to mention it was nice to have a friend around during a storm to keep your mind off of the worst case scenario

- i can see him staying over and practically moving in when his dad went missing

- because being in the chateau, around every corner lied a painful reminder

- so he found comfort in being in a different space, your space

- ok back to the storms

- you'd both build a huge blanket fort

- blanket forts were a big thing you loved as a kid, always dreaming of making a nice one yourself

- john b was extra careful to not knock anything over and ruin the fort because he knew how important it was to you

- you'd make hot chocolate to help warm up your shivering bodies

- john b always put an entire bag of marshmallows in his mug

- after the first sip, he has a mustache of hot chocolate that you always wipe off

- and sometimes, he sprays a whipped cream mustache on his face

- and proceeds to take a big sip of hot chocolate so he can get the 'full taste' of everything combined

- he was a lot of fun to have around

- and as you were older, the realization was clear as to why you never preferred having slumber parties or hanging out with a group of girls from school

- because they could never compare to your best friend john b
