Armando woke up with a start, looking around the dark room in a small panic, not knowing where he was. He saw a figure in the dark walking around, jumping to his feet on the mattress on the floor. A deep groan came from the person laying beside them, Armando's chest slowly rising and falling at a calmer rate. He continued to stare at the figure in the dark, eyes wide as they tried to take in as much light as they could in the dark room.
"Everett..?" his voice was scratchy so early in the morning. He cleared his thought, his voice dropping down to it's normal pitch "Everett what are you doing?"
"Armando..? Sweetheart, who the fuck is Everett...?" Annie's voice asked. Armando relaxed and carefully walked to the figure, sighing softly. "Armando, what's wrong..?"
"Nothing...just a dream or..something..." Annie lead Armando to the kitchen, both of them squinting in the bright light. Armando groaned softly and sat on the counter, slowly adjusting.
"Kid, I know you weren't dreaming..c'mon..tell me..." Annie said sleepily. Armando just shook his head and the two fell asleep together, Annie holding Armando protectively. The two were awoken by Bonez tapping their shoulders, both of them flying out of each other's arms. Bonez sat down, holding a half asleep Hex in his arms. As time went by, they all slowly woke up fully, becoming their normal selves.
"Armando..you fucking asshole...you wouldn't stop tossing and turning..it's bad enough I had to share a fucking bed with you...you were groaning and kicking me, muttering about some boy..." he groaned out, rubbing his face. Annie and Armando looked at each other before looking back at Hex.
"I..I was..? Was the name 'Everett' by any chance..?" Armando spoke softly, the tips of his ears going pink. Hex nodded, a small smirk spreading on his face.
"Ooooh?~ Is that your boyfriend?" Hex leaned closer, making Armando's nose scrunch up. Hex laughed, coughing slightly and leaning back onto Bonez's chest.
"Well..as a matter of fact..yeah..yeah he is..Everett is my boyfriend."
"Oh um...wow..I wasn't expecting that..." Hex said softly, seeming genuinely surprised. Bonez smiled at Armando and silently nodded at him as Annie patted his back. "So uh...how did you two meet..? Who is this guy..?"
"Well..he kinda lives with me...doesn't go to school, just stays home...he's kinda all over the place though..I've never see him during the day really." Armando rubbed the back of his neck and looked down "He's weird as fuck but he's sweet...he runs around the house on all fours and has the coldest fucking skin..he sleeps in my room every night and lets me hold him all night long...but..nobody seems to know him..he stands in the window of my house and just stares at everyone..." Armando said, his tone going from love-struck to sad and confused. Annie frowned.
"Armando...we...we have something to tell you.."
