Roses and Motor Oil.

"Dusk I am telling you, Jason could totally kick Freddy's ass!" 

"Nope, Nope, refuse to believe it" Dusk said as he and Ty walked down the street back to Dusk's house. Ty wrinkled his nose, 

"Freddy would have to get Jason into the dream state in order to have the upper hand" 

"You just have a thing for men who could snap you in half" 

Ty went silent and Dusk chuckled, unaware his best friend was thinking about his brother. 

They walked up to Dusk's house where they saw Chester's car in the driveway, Ty raised an eyebrow,

"Chester's home early today" 

"They cut his hours, he's been looking for a new job" Dusk explained as he opened the door and headed inside with Ty who put his bag down and went to go sit on the couch. Dusk looking at his friend, 

"Mind if I go shower?" 

"Nah, I'll just watch some TV and eat all your snacks" 

Dusk stuck his tongue out at his friend and then walked off to the bathroom. Ty snuggling into the couch before grabbing the remote and turning on the TV, hearing a voice that made him jump out of his skin, 

"Hey I like this show" 

Ty turned around and blushed at Chester who was leaning against the entrance to the hallway, wearing a white tank top and some grey sweatpants. Ty swallowed heavily, 

"Hey Chester" He said softly and Chester looked at him, giving him one of his famous half grins, 

"Hey Ty...mind if I sit with you?" 

Ty shook his head and giggled at Chester flopped on the couch beside him. The man smelled clean but also faintly like motor oil. He'd probably showered after getting back from the shop. 

"You like this show Ty?" Chester asked, snapping Ty out of his thoughts and Ty shrugged a bit, 

"It's...okay, I prefer-" 

"Horror shows, yea I remember you telling me now" Chester said then chuckled, "gotta give me time, I'm old now" 

Ty giggled a bit, "I don't think you're old" 

"I'm fourteen years older than you Ty" Chester chuckled and Ty weakly laughed. 

'Yet another reason I shouldn't find you as hot as I do...' Ty thought to himself but watched the show with Chester. Keeping quiet as they watched until Dusk came out of his room and sat on the other side of Chester. 

The three sat in silence until Chester stood up, looking at Ty, "You wanna stay for dinner?" 

"Wha-oh! Oh yea, sure..." Ty said and Chester grinned, walking off to the kitchen and Dusk looked at Ty oddly,

"What?" He asked defensively and Dusk shrugged, looking back at the TV, 

"Nothing" 

Ty bit his lip and looked back at the screen, praying Dusk had no idea about his crush.
