Me, Nick, and Karl were all in my room, I was sitting at my desk and playing Minecraft while they both watched from my bed, Nick had his arm wrapped around Karl's torso and Karl had his head resting on Nick's arm and I rolled my eyes. "Nick, want to go to the mini mart?" I asked my best friend, he looked at me and nodded.

"Sure."

I smirked and got up, shutting off my monitor and practically tearing Nick away from my brother.

"Right now?" Nick asked, looking down at Karl who was frowning at me.

"Yep." I got my keys from the top of my dresser and swung them around on my pointer finger.

"Can you get me a monster?" Karl asked, still glaring at me.

Nick slid out of bed and took his hand off of Karl. "Watermelon?" He asked.

Karl nodded and grinned, squeezing Nick's hand before we started leaving.

"I know you like him." I stated to Nick when we got in my car.

He put on a fake confused look. "Who?"

"Karl, and I already know, you don't need to hide it, I won't say anything."

He stayed silent for a moment. "Promise you won't say anything?"

"Promise." I confirmed, driving slowly down the neighborhood street. "I knew it though, it was so obvious."

He cringed. "How?"

"None of my other friends would choose to cuddle with my brother instead of play video games." This made him grin.

Though Karl was only a year younger than me and Nick, I still thought of him like a little kid and I was his big brother who needed to protect him. "If you hurt him though-."

"I would never hurt him." Nick cut me off. "Never ever." He added. "And that's a promise."

Damn, he really was in love with my brother.

After I confessed to Clay about Karl, I felt so good. I've liked Karl for awhile but hid my feelings because I didn't want to effect me and Clay's friendship, I wasn't very good at hiding things I guess.

Clay pulled into the mini mart parking lot and we both went in, going our separate ways in the store to get the things we liked.

We were such usuals here that all the workers knew us, today it was George, he went to me and Clay's high school. He was British and colorblind, sometimes when he was working there Clay would get four different colored monsters just so he could talk to him for longer, I'm pretty sure there was something going on between them.

"Hi." George said when we came up to the register, he locked his phone and looked up at us.

"Hey." Clay said, running a hand through his hair.

I elbowed his side and rolled my eyes.

They talked for a few moments before George finally scanned the items, telling us to have a good day (which was mostly directed at Clay).

As we were pulling up to Clay's house I thought of something important. "Wait." He turned off the car in the driveway and looked at me. "Does he like me back..?" I asked hesitantly, fidgeting with the hem of my hoodie.

"He likes you, he told me." Clay responded. "He was giving me a death glare when I made you come with me."

I felt slightly reassured, I felt like I could go in there and tell Karl I like him right now.
