"Spectacles!" Ike exclaims, running down the stairs.

He heard Specs and a few other boys' laughs in the living room.

Ike grins, leaning on the stairs. "Hey Specssss." He smiles cheekily.

"Weren't you going to hang with your twin since we teased you two this morning and forced you to sell apart?" Specs questions, chuckling lightly.

Ike shrugs. "He's asleep." He responds.

"I heard Blink ask Mike if he'd cuddle with him later because he and Race disrupted his, quote, 'not-really needed, but very much wanted sleep'." Mush informs them, his head in Smalls' lap.

(A/N, though I like to say that Sniper and Smalls are girls, for this series they aren't.)

Ike rolls his eyes. "Blink and his sleep. It's like Race and his cigar." He plops himself down next to Specs on the couch.

"Man," Race starts. "You and your twin's boyfriend are both targeting me today." He shakes his head, getting up. "Not cool."

Ike shoots him a wink. "You know it."

Race rolls his eyes, going upstairs.

JoJo follows his boyfriend upstairs.

Ike turns to face his boyfriend. "Wanna do something?" He asks.

"Like what?" Specs asks, placing his book down.

"I don't know." Ike looks at the ceiling. "Maybe jump off the Brooklyn bridge into the water?"

"How about something where you two won't die?" Jack responds, though his tone suggested that he wasn't going to agree unless they weren't in danger and not that he was suggesting it.

"We'd die?" Ike looks at him.

Jack shoots him a look, nodding.

"I always thought I was invincible." Ike shrugs. "Guess not."

"What happened to you?" Henry questions, shooting him a wary look.

"What do you mean?" Ike asks him. "I just wanted to be a child."

"You're fifteen." Jack reminds him. "You are a child." He states.

"Am not." Ike defends. "Now I understand how Race feels." He mutters.

He heard Race shout a 'thank you' from upstairs.

"You're acting more innocent than normally." Boots tells him. "I mean, I'd expect this from your twin, but not flirty, cocky, tough-guy Ike." He states.

Ike smirks. "Do you want flirty, cocky, tough-guy Ike," he mocks. "To come back?"

"No!" Boots exclaims, before coughing dismissively. "I- I mean- this is fine. I like both sides of you, but I'm just confused." He responds.
