Best Friends? (Krii7y)

Childish Times

~John's POV~

"Craig! Please, I really need you help with this!"

Craig sighed, "I'm afraid I can't help you this time around John, I already have a different thing to work on."

"But you were asking me the other day about when I was going to tell him! You can't just give up now!"

"John, I promise that it is going to work out, just get over here and when the time is right, tell him how you feel."

I groaned, "Fine, but I swear if this goes wrong I'm blaming it on you."

"Yeah yeah, you got 8 days to prepare yourself mentally, I suggest you do that."

"Okay, bye, I'll see you then."

I heard a click and the phone call ended.

"Hey John?"

I turned around to face Jaren. "Yeah Smii-"

I stopped what I was saying as my eyes landed on Jaren.

"You- You were taking a shower?" My breathing hitched and my eyes went up and down just taking in the sight.

"Yeah, and I kinda ran out of my shampoo and I meant to ask if I could borrow some before either got in but then I remembered and-" He was rambling, gesturing around him.

"Yes! Ah, I mean," I paused, "Yeah, you can use my-"

My breathing hitched once again when Jaren looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes.

"Yeah." My voice barely came out as a whisper.

He shot me a grin. "Thanks John! I'll pay you back some time."

"You- You don't have to do that Smiithers."

"Nah!"

He left the room and my knees buckled.

Holy shiiiiiit!

'Mentally prepare myself?' How am I supposed to do that after what I just saw?

I crawled onto my bed and started screaming into my pillow.

Fuck that was hot! God, dripping wet, his hair splattered around his face and-

No John! Keep it in your pants!

I slapped my face with both hands, the pain a sharp contrast to earlier... feelings.

I sighed and lied down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling.

Why did Jaren make that bet yesterday? I mean, the only people that would probably reject him is someone that's in a relationship.

And what's worse is I agreed to that bet. If he asks out someone else then, well I wouldn't be stuck with him!

I let out a loud sigh.

"Guess I'm stuck just waiting 8 days, aren't I?

~•~•~•~•~

"Joooooohn!"

Jaren's voice could be heard from the other side of Walmart, I swear.

"Where'd you go John? Help me I'm lost, surrounded by foreigners!"

I walked up behind Jaren, he got lost in the Lego section.

"Jaren, technically, you're the foreigner." I gave him a blank face.

"John!" He turned around and wrapped his arms around me. "I thought I lost you! Dont leave me surrounded by weirdos!"

He old lady looking at legos turned up to look at Jaren, glaring at him.
