Theo's POV

"So, why are you driving me home?" I asked Aleck as he started his car.

"I told your parents that I would come for dinner after school"

"We're having dinner tonight? That's weird"

"How is having dinner weird? Dinner is a normal thing"

"Not for me, I wonder what my mom is making, it shouldn't be hash because that's expensive"

"Hash? Isn't that a drug thing?"

"No, well yeah, I'm talking about the food, not the drug"

We soon arrived at my house but Aleck went past it.

"You missed my house" I looked at him.

"Wait, that dump is your house? I thought it was abandoned" Aleck turned back around

"It's the only place we can afford" I shrugged.

Aleck parked on the side of the road and I quickly got out. I ran to the front door and looked back at Aleck.

"Stop being so fucking slow" I yelled at Aleck who's getting out of the car.

Aleck just flipped me off coming up to me. I smiled and waited for him to get closer.

When he was close enough I opened the door going inside then shut the door on his face.

"Theo, what the hell" Aleck grumbled from the other side

"What's the password" I giggled

"Password? What are you fucking five? Let me in"

"Theo, you're home" I heard my grandma say from behind me.

"Nanna" I smiled giving her a hug.

"Theo, unlock the damn door" Aleck banged on the door

"Stop banging the door, it might break" I let go of my grandma opening the door "haha, banging doors, do you bang them?" I giggled

"What?" Aleck raised his eyebrow

"You know, bang them like, I'll shut up" I looked down at my feet

"Aleck, hi come on in" I heard my mom.

"Hey mom, is it okay if I visit Papa real quick, only like, ten minutes please" I asked my mom

"Take Aleck with you okay?"

"But"

"Theo"

"Fine, come on Aleck, I left Pap in a rush this morning" I rolled my eyes grabbing Aleck's wrist

Aleck and I sat at my grandpas grave. Papa is telling me about his day.

"I wish you were here to see it Theodore, it was hilarious" my Papa laughed

I giggled a bit at my grandpas story.

"What's funny? We're at your Grandpas grave" Aleck said

"Papa, I want you to meet Aleck, my soon to be fiancé" I told my Papa

"Hm, the one who broke your mask?"

"Yes papa, that one" I smiled

"Theo, stop that, you're creeping me out" Aleck said

"Sorry, sometimes I just make my own conversations" I looked at Aleck "we should get back, bye papa"

Both Aleck and I stood up and started walking home. The air is getting colder making me shiver.

We soon got back to my house with a few of ghosts talking to me. It's nice having the ghosts around because I'm never really lonely.

"We're back" I said as we walked in the house.

"Okay, dinner will be ready in half and hour" my mom said from the kitchen.

"So uhh, do you want to go to my room?" I asked Aleck

"Sure"

I walked to my room with Aleck following me. I opened the door showing my room.

Aleck's POV

This can not be his room. This isn't even a room it's a storage space.

He doesn't even have a bed, it's just a mattress on the floor with a thin blanket and a single pillow. There's a small messy pile of clothes in the corner by a folded pile of clothes.

"Okay, stop fucking around, where's your bedroom" I turned Theo to face me

"What are you talking about? This is my room"

"Seriously? This is not a room, this is a storage space. You don't even have an actual bed" I raised my voice a bit

"I'm sorry" Theo looked down

I sighed and picked him up bringing him to the mattress.

"What are you doing?" Theo asked

"Shut up I'm tired"

I laid down next to Theo holding him. Theo tensed up a bit.

"Fucking relax, god damn you're an idiot" I mumbled wrapping my arms around him.

Theo relaxed letting out a small sigh. I pulled him closer to me and stroked his hair. Why is his hair so soft?

"Boys dinner's ready" I heard an old women knocked.

"Coming nanna" Theo yawned sitting up.

I rubbed my eyes looking up at Theo's who's hair is a mess.

Theo looked down at me not saying anything. Why is he staring at me? I rolled my eyes and grabbed his head pulling him down in a kiss.

Theo tensed up not kissing me back. Why is this pissing me off that he isn't kissing back. I pulled him in closer deepening the kiss.

Theo still didn't kiss back so I pulled away from him.

"Next time kiss back" I grumbled getting up.

Both of us got to the kitchen and food is already placed out.

"Where's dad?" Theo asked

"He's staying late at work again"

I looked at the food and it looks like it's just potatoes, corn, and beef mixed together.

"You made hash" Theo's eyes lit up

"With onions" Theo's mom smiled

"Hell yeah" Theo jumped with excitement.

With onions? Onions are cheap as hell. And how is he excited over this small thing? They could've made hamburgers.

"I'm sorry that this isn't as good as the food you have Aleck but we don't have that much money" Theo's mom gave a sad smile

"It's alright, I'm not picky or anything" I smiled
