Ross sat in his room chilling, playing his favourite game on the switch leaning over the device and ignoring the ache in his spine. To play comfortably and to actually be able to see he had his hair clipped out of his face with two snap clips from his mother. He was wearing a oversized gray long sleeved shirt with short boxers underneath, though it didn't exactly look like he was wearing pants.
"Ross Caddel-Madden! Get your ass down here now!" Ross' dad yelled at him.
"Give me a min-"
"Now!" Chris cut Ross off, his Dads voice growing more stern.
"Alright- ok.. Ok.." Ross squeaks putting down his counsle he got up and headed downstairs. "Yea? Whats up dad?" He asked, yelping when his dad slapped him hard.
"What the fuck! I thought I told you not to fucking tell people where we lived! You go over to their house! Not fucking here!" Chris yelled, Ross holding his face in pain holding back the tears like always.
"Wh-What the f-... Wh-What are you t-talking about?" Ross asked confused, he hadn't told people where he had lived..? He knew it was a rule.
"Some kid is out there asking for you." Chris growled ushering to the door "Says he's from your school and was looking to hangout. You really should be grounded, but right now I don't give a shit, you're a fat ass, you need to get off the damn games and go out to play. We'll talk about punishments later." heading to the living room to sit on the couch.
"Wh-What...? But... I.." Ross mumbled confused looking down at his stomach sighing he started to take the snap clips out of his hair, he clipped them to the pocket of his shirt and ruffled his hair down in front of his eyes. Walking to the door he opened it and looked up "Uh, hey, I'm pretty sure you have the wrong house ma- Nathaniel-?" Ross recognized the face of the male he had grown to like.
"Yea, hey" He waved with a smile, a dog on a leash standing patiently beside him.
"How do you know where I live-?" Ross asked confused "I live not too far. I saw you go home a few times." Nathan laughed awkwardly "I really wanted to hang out with you out of school, if that's ok with you."
"Y-Yea- Yea. Uhm, of course-"
"Oh- you're not wearing any pants-" Nathan chuckled.
"Agh-! Uh- yea, I-I'm wearing boxers.. I was gaming.. I'll go get changed.. Uh.." Ross turned away calling to his dad "Can Nathan wait inside?"
"I don't care. Just make sure that dog doesn't shit anywhere." Ross looked back to Nathan who looked as if he were about to laugh.
"I assure you hes well trained."
"Ok, uh, wait in here." Ross ushered him in closing and locking his door behind Nathan "Let me go get dressed then we can hang out." Ross hurriedly ran up the stairs getting dressed into some ripped jeans and a short sleeved gray shirt grabbing his key he headed back down he smiled "Ok, uh, I'm going out for a bit dad!" he said unlocking the door and ushering Nathan out.
"Be back before dark!" Chris replied.
"Mhm!" Ross locked the door behind him shoving his keys into his pockets. "So.. What do you want to do?" Ross asked excitement obviously in his tone though he tried to cover it with a sheet of 'oh I'm chill'
"I'm not sure, I was just taking J on a walk."
"What breed is he? He looks like a rottie."
"Nope, Doberman. Close in fur design though." Nathan said.
