Two bros and The Internet

•Chapter 15•

[Sean's POV]

I'm awoken by the sound of rapid banging on the door and the sound of males chatting loudly outside. I open my eyes and see Mark to the left of me. I noticed the situation I was in and thought he would find it weird me being all cuddled up to him. When I stood up, I think it woke him because he turned his head curiously towards me.

"What's wrong lil' leprechaun?" He asks groggily. I feel my face flush and turn away.

"D-Do you not find it weird at all that we were curled up together on the couch? Does that not bother you?" I blurt out defensively. I wanted to cuddle him forever but knew he was straight and wouldn't like that.

"Oh sorry Sean- I didn't think it bothered you-" He replies apologetically.

"It doesn't! I thought it would bother you!" I yelp back, surprised.

"Wait- it d- doesn't?" He asks, with an expression of disbelief. Does this mean he likes cuddling?? I shake away any hope of wanting to cuddle back with him again as the banging at the door intensifies. Scared, I rush out of the living room and sit at the top of the stairs, out of view of whoever is there. I hear Mark leave the sofa and walk to the front door. I think he knows the people at the door as they walk in. It sounds like 2 males. One sounds a bit squeakier than the next.

"Mark! Long-time no see!" One of the voice shouts. The other person laughs and agreed.

"Guys, chill. I saw you like last week." He laughs back. Then I hear footsteps approaching the staircase. I quickly turn to run up them when I hear Mark's voice.

"Sean, it's okay. You don't have to stay up there. These guys are cool." He shouts happily up the stairs. Hesitantly, I start making my way downstairs and was greeted by two friendly-looking faces. One of the boys had bright blue hair, and the other taller looking guy had curly brown hair and nearly tanned skin. I stared at them curiously.

"This is my friend Sean. Sean, these are my friends Tyler and Ethan." He said, gesturing towards Tyler and Ethan.

"H-Hi." I find myself stuttering. Why am I so stuttery today? "I'm Mark's friend. Nice to meet you." I continue, trying to not seem scared. I'm not used to this much human interaction.

"Nice to meet you!" Ethan says enthusiastically. He hugs me tight and I just stand and take it some-what awkwardly. Tyler piles on laughing and at last Mark joins it, standing beside me. It felt nice having him stood behind me, his head on my shoulder. It was as if he was protecting me.

"C'mon guys. Let's show Sean a good time. He's never been to America before, so let's show him what he's in for!" Mark booms excitedly, being the last one to pull away from the hug. I rubbed my eyes sleepily and nodded.

"Sounds good to me," I mutter.

"Cool! Ethan, Tyler, could you guys go out and buy some Krispy Kreme and some other America-exclusive foods? I think Sean wants to wake up properly." He says as I give him the 'thank you' look. He smiles brightly towards me as they wave off.

"Cool, see you in about an hour or so!" Tyler shouts as he shut the front door.

"Thanks, Mark," I say appreciatively as the two leave the driveway. Mark chuckled.

"Right, follow me. I'll show you to your room and bathroom." He says, walking up the stairs.

"I have a room? I assumed I'd be sleeping on the couch! Thanks, Mark!" I exclaim excitedly.
