The Mandela Catalogue

Home

Me and Fox were laying in the bed, he was watching my phone over my shoulder.
It had been a few days after I confessed.
Today is the day we go back home and I'm pretty sure that mum was just mothering Twig the entire time.
"will we be coming back at some point?" he asks.
"yeah! At some point yeah. We might come of Christmas!" I say.
"oh, I'm gonna miss you guys." she says.
"I'm gonna miss you." I say.
We all hug and then we leave.
"Get home safely!" she says.
"love you!!!" I yell out and we set off.

I wake up at twelve, I feed the bird and then look over to Fox.
He's looking out the window.
He looks at me.
"hi." he says.
"hi." I say.
"so how are you?" he says.
"I'm OK! What about you?" I say.
"yeah, I'm OK." he says.
"you look very cute today." I say.
"do I not look cute everyday?" he laughs.
"well yeah but." I say.
"but what?" he asks.
"shhhh" I say laughing.
"can you stop flirting back there." he says.
He sneezes.

"he's allergic to the gay." Fox says.
"if we go any gayer we'll kill him" I say.
Fox gives a smug smile.
"really?" he asks.
He comes closer.
"no! Don't, you'll kill me and yourselves." he says.
I can see his eyes looking at us in the mirror.
I can feel my face blush as fox pulls me closer.
"you don't mind this right?" he whispers.
"no!" I whisper back.
He kisses me and then pulls back, quickly sitting up. He blushes.
"well, I can't not die at that." Michael says and then acts dead, the car swerves.
We run over something with the back wheel.
"EYES ON THE ROAD MICHAEL!!!" Jackie yells.
Michael 'comes back to life' and carries on driving.
"did I hit something back there cause it felt like I did." he says.
"only your last remaining brain cell." they say.
I look back to see an alternate on the road and Twig was nowhere in site.
"PULL OVER, TWIG IS ON THE ROAD!!!." I yell.
"shit!" he says, quickly braking, pulling out the handbrake and quickly getting out. I come out with him.
We go over to him.
"I am fine Michael." he says.
"shit, I'm so sorry." he says, helping Twig up.
"was that you I ran over?" he asks.
"my leg." he says.
I look down at his right leg to see it hanging limply.
"oh my god, come sit in the truck with us, I'll sit in the middle." I say.
"nono, I do not want to bother you." he says.
"you won't be just sit in the truck with us!" I say.
"OK" he says.
I get into the middle.
"hello there." Fox says.
"hi" I smile.
"now I can sleep on you." he says, resting his head on my shoulder.
Twig gets in next to me and Michael closes the door.
"I'm so sorry about your leg Twig, I'll drive quickly ok! We've got around 10 minutes!" he says.
"it is fine." Twig says.

Michael drives fast.
"sorry for kissing you by the way, I don't know if it made you uncomfortable or not but it's bothering me." Fox whispers.
"nono!" I say.
"I actually... Kinda liked it."
"you did?" he asks.
"yeah" I say.
"well we can do it properly when we're at home" he says, smiling smugly.
I feel my face turn red.
"OK!" I say, smiling.

We walk into the flat, I close the door behind me and lock it.
I go and unpack my stuff, feeding Bean while I'm at it as well.
We all chilled out for a while after, Michael also wrapping up Twigs leg in the process.
"so you wanna sleep in my room tonight?" Fox asks.
"but your bed is kinda small!" I say.
"that's the point." he says.
"GET A ROOM!" Michael says.
"sure" I say to Fox.

"soup!" Jackie says, coming in with soup.
"is soup your solution to everything?" Michael says.
"yes!" they say, giving the soup to Twig.
"oh, thank you." he says, picking up the spoon.
I check the time, 11:25.
"wanna head to bed?" I ask Fox.
"sure." he says.
"so are you sleeping in with me tonight, I wanna sleep with the new sheets but I wanna sleep with you too." he says.
"yeah" I say.
We go into Fox's room.
I lay down on the right side of the bed.
"hey, I sleep there!" he says, sitting next to me.
"well you'll just have to sleep there tonight." I say.
"or I could do this! " he says, he wraps his arms around me and rotates me to the other side.
"why are you so strong!?" I ask.
"I don't know." he says.
"but your so small!" I say.
"hey! I'm not that small!" he says.
"well" I say.
"shut up!!!" he says.
I wrap my arms around him and hug him.
"your very warm." he says.
"natural body heat at its finest." I say.

He turns around to face me.
His nose nearly touching mine.
"hello." he says.
"hi" I say, smiling.
"so, are we like... Boyfriends now?" he asks.
"was that not obvious before?" I ask.
"oh" he says, we start laughing.
"you know, i started liking you when we went on that walk into the secret spot." I say.
"really? I started liking you before that." he says.
"when?" I ask.
"when I first saw you." he says.
"pffft, dork!" I say, laughing.
"pfff shut up!!!" he says.
"hey guess what?" I say.
"what?" he asks.
I go closer to him, he blushes.
I quickly rotate him to the otherside and turn around.
"hey you can't tease me like that!" he says.
"oh, fine." I say.
I kiss him and turn over.
"goodnight." I say.
He seems to pause for a moment.
"......goodnight." he says.
