(A/N: you see this from alfies pov, a 21 year old demon, who is also transgender)

I watched him open the fridge. It was such a simple move, the lifting of his arm, the pulling. As i was questioning the existence of moving, he looked back at me, and i felt myself looking in his eyes. They were blue, half lidded and he was staring, but so was i.

"What are you looking at Elf?" He smiled, looking back to the fridge. Since Kyle had trouble speaking, 'elf' was his way of saying Alf, i liked the nickname, it did make me happy afterall. The reminder i was loved every morning. I smiled back at him, rather dumbly as he wasn't facing me, it wasn't like he could see me. *PING*

I looked back down at my phone, which was showing a message from Millie, one of my best friends. Slowly, i picked it up and unlocked it, reading carefully.

"Hey! Are we still going out today? If so, someones gonna have to wake Theo up :]"

Ah yes, Theo. I forgot about his existance until right that second. Theo was my other best friend, he was knowingly the most nocturnal out of us all.

"Yeah, ill get him up. He's more likely to listen to me then you."

"Thats true, ill meet you at the park, if Theo doesnt get up just drag him."

I grinned, we both knew if i even attempted to drag Theo i would most likely get slapped, he has a tendency to be aggressive, but thinking about his past, his life, it was expected.

"Race you."

Putting my phone back down, and stretching my arms, i was thinking back to the last time us 3 went out somewhere. If im honest, it hasnt been for a while, someone always has something going on, usually me. "Im going out Ky, ill see you soon, i love you." He smiled and nodded, "Love you too." The living room is usually packed, but it was empty as of right now. Unusual, its not even like its too early, its 11 am. Glanced around, before heading up the stairs, to Theo's room.

I opened the door carefully, and looked in. It was too dark to see anyone properly, so i walked over to the bed, and got down to Theo's eye level. Like i said earlier, Theo has a tendency to hit out. So i had to be careful. I kinda didnt want a broken nose today, especially not by Theo. They would never shut up about it. Ever.

"Oi, dumbass." I tapped his shoulder, and then shook them a little. Nothing. I shook him harder, to which they started and threw their hand out. I managed to move a good distance back, his hand barely missing my face, and i stayed put, watching his fist. After what seemed like eternity, they led back down and rubbed his eyes, mumbling something in russian, that i couldnt read.

"Why are you getting me up." Okay, so we have bad mood theo today.

"Newsflash, we're going out today. Me, you and Millie. Get ready."

He groaned, and rolled back on to their other side, Facing away from me. I thought for a second.

"If you don't get up, ill be getting Ryder and her hairspray. We'll stick your hair up like that thee."

Finally, they sat up and i followed, by standing up off the floor. It wasn't comfortable. He reached over to the cupboards, put a shirt and a hoodie on, before yawning.

"Fucks sake, what time did you go to sleep?"

They looked at their phone, which now read, 11:08am. Observing, I noted a few of his notifications. A few from Snapchat, Insta and Youtube. Mostly from messages, Millie, Aria, Ashton and Oakley, and their girlfriend. He started counting backwards, on his fingers. Theo has never been good at maths. We all know this.

"Uh, 3 hours ago?" He said, questioned.

I laughed, and shook my head.
"You did not go to sleep at 8 am, tell me you didnt."

He shrugged, and also grinned. He didnt need to tell me, as he was yawning every 30 seconds and the bags under his eyes proved it also.

"You, are a dumbass, get ready." After a slight nod in response, i left, turning the light on on my way past. Went back downstairs, and sat on the sofa. Finally, there was someone down here. Not just anyone, but my other other best friend, Ryder Tadashi. Also Theos brother. "Hey Alf." He said, in which i responded with a wave and a "Hello Ryds." She nodded, came and sat next to me and went on his phone. I looked over, and he also looked at me.

"Get your hairspray ready, if Theos not downstairs in the next 5 minutes, were spraying him out with it." I joked, which earned a laugh from Ryder. "Sorry Alf, but my hairspray is reserved for crazy exes." She responded to my joke, which also earnt a laugh from me. He had used that hairpray getting my ex Olivia away from here, many times. I recalled this whilst just being sat there, staring off. I was thinking about my life with Olivia. The constant arguing, the manipulation, and the way she would yell at me if i said i wasnt giving her money. She also said she was going to help me transition, and was supportive, but outed me to the public behind my back, and constantly cheated and bad mouthed me.

I must've been staring off for a while, because the next thing i know was Theo smacking me round the face. I regained my focus and death glared Theo, who i forgot could not read how mad i was he had hit me. They just smiled and waved. I decided not to take notice, and stood up.

"Ready to go?"

He only smiled, nodded and went to leave.

"Do you have your headphones?"

He nodded again, and patted his pocket. Context here, Theo is autistic. Loud sounds, like cars, people yelling etc, could overwhelm him and send him into panic. Thats why he has his headphones, noise cancellation ones to be exact. He was wearing the hat he always wore, a black and camouflage one, which his ex-dad bought him when he was 9, a black jumper, and blue jeans, with his black trainers. Under the hat, they had an attempt at taming their brown hair, but it was unruly, and spilled out from the hat, all over the show. It suited him. In my opinion anyway. I stood properly next to him, it reminded me how short he was compared to me, him being 5'7, whilst I, am 6'8.

"Right, lets go, I told millie i'd race her."

Theos eyes lit up at the word 'race', and he was out the house before i could register anything else. I shook my head, following.
