"You listening?" George snapped back into reality after zoning out for the last minute. He shook his head, as to regain focus and opened his mouth.
"Yeah, no, yeah!" George said and readjusted himself on the barstool, "Sorry what were you saying?"

Clay rolled his eyes and leaned onto the counter resting his elbow on the counter and laying his chin in the palm of his hand.

"I was talking about how much of an idiot you are." Clay said with a soft tone in his voice, giving George a soft smile afterwards.

"Wha-" George exclaimed, Clay putting his hand over the brunette's mouth to keep him quiet.
"Shhh, your parents are asleep," Clay said, bringing his pointer finger up to his lips.

"What the fuck, George?! Ewww!!" Clay exclaimed, pulling his hand back from George's face and wiping it on his hoodie, "You just licked my hand!"
George giggled quietly and mimicked Clay's previous movements.
"Shhh, Clay, my parents are asleep." George said, smiling wide.

Clay rolled his eyes and scoffed, trying hard to bite back a smile that was threatening to show.
"You're the worst!" Clay said, leaning off the counter and turning his back in George's direction.

"Yeah, right," George scoffed and stood up, running upstairs. Clay watched as the shorter ran up the stairwell and bursted the door of his bedroom open.
"Hey!" Clay called after him, "Why did you leave?"

No answer.

Clay shrugged it off and started gathering material for him to get cooking. After a few minutes of George not being around Clay the taller started to get worried.
He put the pan down on the stove and ran up the stairs, sometimes taking two steps in one.
(Like his shampoo)

"George," Clay let out an exhale of relief as he saw the brunette lying down on the floor, curled up in a ball, "Everything alright?" Clay crouched in front of the smaller and stroked the brunette's hair carefully.

"Why are you on the floor?" Clay asked, lying down beside George, facing him.
"I don't know," George said, a yawn following, "Passed out or something, I don't know." Clay sat up and gave George a look of concern.

George sat up as well and looked around the room tiredly. "I have to go back downstairs, I'm cooking, so..." Clay said awkwardly and stood up, sprinting down the stairs.

"No worries, Clay, I got this." George's mom said as Clay came running down the stairs into the kitchen. "Oh, thank you!" Clay said and sat down on one of the barstools.

"Good morning, George." George's mother greeted as George walked into the kitchen with his speaker in one hand and a blanket in the other.

"Mornin'" George said and sat down on the stool next to Clay, putting his speaker on the counter and wrapped his blanket around his shoulders.
Clay leaned onto the counter, holding his head up with his hand which rested on the counter.

He smiled at George and rubbed gentle circles into his back with his free hand.
"Turn on the speaker," Clay whispered to George with a sly smirk on his face and held out his hand for George to pass his phone to him.

George grinned and shook his head.
"No, not with my mom around." George whispered back, smiling. Clay scoffed and rolled his eyes, retreating his hand.

"Here you go, boys," George's mom said as she placed two plates of food in front of each one of them.
"Thank you, mom," George said with a soft smile on his face, Clay nodding in 'thank you'.

"No problem, just next time you're cooking, don't just leave it here and go somewhere else. Okay?" George's mom said, taking two plates of food and walked upstairs to the master bedroom.

"Can we listen to music now?" Clay asked with a whiny tone, giving George puppy eyes. George rolled his eyes and smiled, turning on his speaker.
"What do you want to listen to?" George asked, connecting his phone and opening his spotify.
"Lemme see," Clay said as he put his fork into his mouth, leaving it there as he took George's phone out of his hands.

Hey... i hate covid <3
So, school and sports have been shut down so now I'm in Easter vacation and I'll be from school for almost two weeks, I got 2 extra days of vacation rip.
Not more than 10 people can get together after today, and even though 17 people might not be much to you, it's quite much for us since no one was getting covid for 3 months.

Anyways, I baked a cake earlier with my friend cuz it's her birthday and we bought monsters and candy, yum yum.

I hate time zones, they suck.

Want a fit check for today? I really like the outfit I'm wearing rn lol.
