eleven

JONAH SAT WITH his back against corbyn's bed as corbyn rattled off theme options for his sixteenth birthday party.
"we could do just a few people, or we could go big or go home."
jonah shrugged.
"i don't know, it's your birthday."
"jonah," corbyn whined, sitting down on his bed.
"fine. we're least likely to go to jail if it's just a few people."
"so daniel, you, aspen..."
jonah immediately tuned out when he heard daniel's name. he thought it was obvious that he didn't like daniel. and to add insult to injury, daniel's name came before his.
the next time jonah actually processed corbyn's words, corbyn was agitated.
"why are you ignoring me?"
"i'm not."
"list all of the people i just named, since you weren't ignoring me."
"i don't know, i tuned out after 'daniel, you' if i'm being honest."
corbyn slid off of the bed to sit down next to jonah.
"are you mad at me? because i'm dating dani?"
"what makes you think that?"
"whenever i even start a sentence with a d you get upset."
he shifted so that he could lay his head on jonah's lap.
"i'm not mad at you, bean."
"so what's the issue with daniel?"
"well i don't know exactly, but perhaps hearing that he both verbally or physically abused his ex has dampened my liking for him."
"zach? no he didn't. daniel's nice."
"when was the last time you saw zach, corbyn?"
"junior year, why?"
"god, that's literally when they broke up. why do you think you haven't seen zach?"
"he switched schools, everybody knows that by now, jonah."
"nobody switches schools for no reason. he lives at the same house he has since he moved here, five down from mine."
"what're you trying to say, jonah?"
jonah kept his eyes trained on corbyn's before he shook his head.
"nothing. just a thought. anyway," he mumbled before corbyn could protest and begin another argument. "rename your guest list."
corbyn hesitated before replying.
"you, daniel, aspen..."
it went on monotonously for twelve more people before corbyn stood from the floor and walked towards his closet.
"by the way," he said, voice restored back to it's usual amount of pep. "i have your list of birthday gift possibilities, since you mentioned how close it actually is."
and just like that, their friendship was recovered.
