HC and TC Oneshots - A Little Bit Of Everything

Mitch sighed under his breath, watching as the phone call ended. 11:56. 3 hours straight they had been talking, not even taking a single toilet break. Just straight up talking.

'My family's moving. They said where we move, we'll be able to see each other more often.' He couldn't stop reading over that sentence. For 5 whole years they've last seen each other. And the last time they saw each other, it wasn't that long.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, Jerome is definitely someone special in his heart. Being both his childhood best friend and his hidden crush.

Mitch missed everything about him. His voice, his hair, his eyes, his adorable wild and crazy personality.

He could feel tears start welling up in his eyes. The memories are just to painful to remember. He craved for time to go past quicker. Let Jerome come back into his daily lifestyle, and he'll be back to his cheerful self right?

A text message popped up on his phone saying:

'Hey Buddy, You go to Raven High School right? :3'

'Yeah. Y tho?'

'Cus I wanna go to the same school as you so we won't be lonely!'

'Thank Jerome.'

Mitch switched his status to Offline, not wanting to hear his voice in his head anymore. He let out a broken sob.

5 minutes later, he turned on his phone again, switching it back to Online.

'Sorry buddy! Didn't see the time there! But see you in a few weeks at your school!'

'You idiot' He wanted to type. 'If you come to my school, you'll forget about me and just find some new friends!'

The words felt true, even though it was meant to be a joke the whole time.

*A few weeks later*

Mitch ran down the stairs, pulling up his jacket at the same time to not waste anymore time. He had been waiting for this day for months.

"MOM! HURRY UP!" He yelled to the back of the house, in the direction of the bathroom that was currently occupied.

"I'm coming alright?! Be patient! I'm almost done!" She responded. He was already in the backseat of the car.

When she finally came out and sat in the front seat, He immediately started nagging on her to go quicker.

In his hands, he held the small gift he had been given from Jerome months ago. He hadn't dare to forget about it.

As the car pulled up to a driveway, Mitch's immediately searched for any sign of dark curly hair on a human. After only 2 seconds of looking, his heart dropped.

"Go ahead," His mom told him and he immediately scrambled to open the door and book out of the car.

"Mitch! It's been a while!" Mrs Aceti greeted him and opened her arms for a hug. He hugged back but used his eyes to glance around the yard in hopes of finding the boy of his dreams.

"Jerome! Mitch's here!" She called out into the house. There was the thumping of covered feet and Jerome emerged from upstairs, looking very excited.

He looked exactly the same as before, not that Mitch expected him to change. Dark brown curly hair, dark brown eyes and a baseball hat.

Mitch couldn't move. He's been waiting for this moment ever since the first night he moved away. And now, he's just standing here, stupidly.
