"What the hell are you doing here Dallon?" Ryan sneered. "Just wanted to talk to my best pals, Ross and Urie." Dallon smiled. "We aren't friends." Ryan muttered. "Oh, well, Brendon, are we friends?" Dallon asked. "Uh.. sure?" I shrugged. Ryan's head jerked towards me as he gave me a look.

"I don't think your boyfriend likes you being friends with me very much." Dallon sat in between us. "We aren't dating. We don't even like each other in that way." I rolled my eyes. "Uhuh, of course," He chuckled, "if that's so, who are you guys into?" "No one." Ryan shook his head. "What about you?" Dallon looked me in the eye. "I'm not interested in anyone." I lied.

I mean, I would tell Dallon. I honestly don't care who knows, I just don't want Ryan knowing I like someone. Not sure why, I just do.

"Are you sure you don't like anyone? Not even Ryan?" Dallon gasped. "Vro shut up, we're just friends." I folded my arms. "I'm just playing around, jeez calm yourself." He chuckled. "Alright, well, I'm gonna keep walking around." Ryan stood up. "Okay, Brendon and I will just sit here and talk." Dallon turned to face me. "Okay, have fun with the asshole Bren." Ryan started to walk away. "Uh, I didn't really have a say in this." I told him. "You're staying." Dallon shot a cold look at me. "Okay okay, bye Ry."

"Bye Bren."

Dallon and I sat in silence for awhile. "Okay Brendon, tell the truth, who's the lucky lady?" He said. "I told you, I'm not interested in anyone." I rolled my eyes. "Watch with your eyes, roll them anymore and they might fall out." He nudged me. "Whatever, I'm gonna go find Ryan." I stood up and started running. "Bye Brendon."

Why is Dallon so nosey? Well, Dallon and I have only talked a couple times, so he might not be that bad. It's worth giving him a shot I guess. I saw a taller boy with curly brown hair walking in front of me. "Ryan!" I yelled. The boy turned around and smiled. "I thought you were staying with Dallon?" He asked. "Nah, Dallon was being annoying so I left." I chuckled. "Since when is he not annoying?" Ryan smirked. "Yeah, you're right." I shrugged.

     We continued walking down the sidewalk. "Ry, do you just wanna go to my place and hang out?" I asked. "We're supposed to be at school, Bren, your parents are probably gonna be mad." Ryan said. "They're not gonna home until like 7, we'll be fine." I told him. "Oh, alright." He shrugged. "I'll race you." I smirked before bolting away. "Brendon you fucking asshole!" I heard him scream which caused me to laugh.

Ryan and I began to walk up the steps leading to the front door. I opened the door and looked around to make sure my parents were actually at work. "Okay, let's go." I walked inside with Ryan following me. I ran upstairs and waited for Ryan to get up. "Wait, could you close the door?" I asked. "What?"

"Can you close the door?"

"What?"

"Can't you hear? Close the goddamn door!" I chuckled. He smiled before he walked back to the door and shut it. We both resumed heading up towards my room.

"Alright, get yourself comfy." I said as we walked through my door. I kicked it shut and turned on my tv. "What do you wanna watch?" I asked. "I dunno." Ryan shrugged. "Fine, let's just see what pops up on Netflix." I said before picking up the remote. "Oh, have we watched that one before?" Ryan pointed towards something. "What one?" I asked. "The umbrella one." He responded. "The Umbrella Academy... nope I don't think so." I shook my head. "Okay, let's watch that." He looked up at me and raised his eyebrows. "Okay." I nodded.

     We got through six episodes before we started discussing. "Who's your favorite?" I asked. "Mm, I don't know. Maybe Five, he kinda reminds me of you in a way?" He said. "Oh, well, Klaus is the best and that's all I have to say." I told him. "Yeah, Klaus is nice." Ryan nodded.

     "Brendon, are you home?" I heard a voice call from downstairs. "Yeah." I responded. "Come downstairs, we're having leftovers." My mom yelled. "Okay, c'mon Ry." I started walking out the door.

We jumped, yes actually jumped, off of the stairs and landed on our sides. "See Ry, told you it'd be fun." I laughed. "Yeah, I guess." He groaned while rubbing his side. "Brendon? Are you okay?" My mom asked. "Yeah. I'm good." I stood up and started walking to the kitchen. "Oh, hi Ryan. Sorry, I didn't know you were coming." Mom said. "No, it's okay. I didn't know either." Ryan shrugged. "Come have a seat." My mom pulled out a chair. "Thank you." He sat down.

"Mom, where's dad?" I asked. "He has work late tonight, don't worry." Mom handed us plates. We put food in the plates and began to eat. "So, how was school?" Mom asked. I watched as Ryan's eyes widened. "It was the same as always." I shrugged. "Oh.. well did you at least have fun?" She asked. "Mom, it's school." I slightly chuckled. "Yeah, you're right." She smiled, "How was your day Ryan?" "Same as Bren's." Ryan said. "Oh, well I hope you guys have better days." Mom nodded.

     We continued to eat our food. "How long are you gonna stay?" I asked Ryan. "It depends on how long I can stay." He responded, looking towards my mom. "You can stay as long as you want." She smiled. "So can he stay for the night?" I asked. "Of course." Mom nodded. "So, I guess I'll stay." Ryan grinned.

     Soon after, we were finished. "Here, I'll take the dishes." My mom stood up and took our plates. "Thank you." Ryan and I said in unison. "It's no problem. Don't be too loud." She said before we began to walk back to my room.

     We sat on my bed and Ryan rested his head in his hands. "You okay Ry?" I asked. "Yeah, just overthinking." He shrugged. "Well, if you need to talk about anything, I'm here." I rested my hand on his shoulder. Ryan looked up at me and gave me a slight smile, causing me to smile back. "Thank you." He whispered. "It's no problem." I responded. "Seriously, where would I be without you?" He flopped down onto the bed. I looked down at him. "Not in my house," I chuckled, "but the same goes to you too."
