The Telling/SnotxSteve

Chapter 1

Fast forward five minutes, their game just ended. The three had still been playing while Steve just rested his body across the couch.

"Ugh finally. Now can we order pizza or something??" Steve complained again.

"Hai, demo konkai wa peparoni no kawari ni sōsēji o chūmon dekimasu ka??" Toshi insisted. What he really said was 'yes, but can we order sausage instead of pepperoni this time??' Though the boys just assumed he wanted pepperoni again.

"See?? Tosh wants pepperoni!" Toshi sighed, knowing they would never be able to understand him. After all Toshi did refuse to learn any other language, as of right now at least.

"Fine. My mom should be ok with me staying a little longer. Barry?" Snot replied. Snots voice had always been a bit crackly, they were all sixteen, so they just assumed it was because his voice was getting deeper. If only that had made sense, his voice had sounded the same since he was fourteen, but a little bit deeper and better sounding. Snot of course knew that it was because his mother had recently lost her job. Meaning they were now barely surviving. The only time Snot got a needed amount of water was at school or at Steve's house. He knew he couldn't tell Steve though, Steve worried so much about Snot already. How would he feel if he found out Snot was barely surviving back in his home? Probably put him in a home or something.

"Mine too." Barry also replied, in his deeper but yet childish voice.

"Then it's settled. I'm gonna go ask my mom to order us one large pizza. Sound good?" Steve insisted.

"Yep, thank you, Steven." Snot said back, smiling softly.

"Of course."

If there was one thing Snot and Steve couldn't explain, it was their relationship. On one side they are best friends who mess with each other, hang out with Barry and Toshi, and sometimes fight. But on the other side some people would say they are practically dating. They practice kissing with each other, share sweaters, expect a forehead kiss when one is going away for at least two days, hold hands, sometimes kiss to make up for a fight, hugs that last just a bit to long, comfort each other constantly, occasionally argue about girlfriends and crushes, sleep together, cuddle on the couch while watching TV, and finally cuddle together when they sleep. When it storms out Steve likes to go right into Snot's arms, then stay like that till morning. There's very clearly a laundry list of couple moments. But they just brushed it off as normal. What made it not normal, was the fact that Steve loved it that way. Snot didn't care..But Steve loved how they did that stuff. He didn't want it any other way.

Soon their pizza was gone, along with Barry and Toshi. Just leaving two best friends to lie on the floor, feeling like total fat asses.

"So...How are things going back at home?" Steve asked, adjusting so his body and attention was facing Snot. They were both laying on the floor of Steve's room, with their backs up against the bed side.

This question always stood out to Snot. Leaving him to lie and say everything is alright. "Everything's fine. My moms still working, I get my school stuff done. Could be worse."

"That's great to hear, Snot."

The two brunette boys were suddenly running out of things to say. To avoid awkwardness Snot changed the subject. He hated talking about his home life anyway.

Suddenly the slightly taller boy spoke, "So...Remember when we did that Boyz 12 music video?"

That seemed to lighten up the mood, Steve chuckled a bit. "Yeah..If only it could have gotten produced."

"Wanna sing a bit?"

"Hell yeah!"

After two minutes of singing and doing the synchronized dance for, Girl You Need A Shot, by Boyz 12. The music video Steve, Snot, Barry, and Toshi were in two years ago, with a bunch of other boys. Sadly Boyz 13 took over and Snots uncle killed himself, so they didn't get in.
