Therapist friend

Chapter 3

Tuesday, 8:12am
Luca woke up by Max tickling him. The first thing he saw, when he opened his eyes, was Max mischievous smile. He was still tired, so he only managed a tired "fuck you" with a little laugh.
"I made food!"
"You can cook?"
"Fuck you."

After he quickly threw a hoodie on, Luca went into the kitchen, where Max greeted him with a laugh.
"What?"
"That's my hoodie."
He looked down and noticed he actually wore Max's hoodie. It was a blue hoodie with a little stickman on the right side. It was a cute hoodie but a little bit too big for him.
"Oh I'm sorry, I just threw something on. I didn't even know your hoodie was in my room."
"It's okay, it looks cute."
Luca looked away in embarrassment and asked what's there for breakfast to change the topic.
"Pancakes", Max answered with a smile.
"Omg I love pancakes!"
It was the truth. Luca had always loved pancakes. He didn't remember the last time he ate them though. He took a small note in his head, saying he has to eat them more often. He always connected them with Max, because they always used to eat them, when they were younger. Max's mom made the best pancakes.
"Speaking of pancakes, how's your mother doing?"
"Not too good to be honest. She's still sick and the doctors still don't know what it is. It just gets worse..."
"Oh no. I'm so sorry, I'm sure she'll be fine! The doctors will find out what's wrong and help her! I'm sure!"
Max didn't need to answer. His sad smile said everything: Thankyou. I really hope so. And you're very helpful, thanks
They stayed in silence for about a minute until Max stood up and put the plate with pancakes on the table. He also gave his friend a cup of hot chocolate, that just came out of the microwave, because he knows how much Luca loves it.
„Thanks! Wow the pancakes smell amazing! I haven't had pancakes for so long!"
They ate the delicious pancakes until they were really full.
„God my stomach hurts!"
„Mine too, but your pancakes were so delicious, I just had to eat a lot of them!"
"Well thank you! What do you wanna do today?"
"I'm really tired. Can we just stay at home and watch a movie?"
"Of course! Have you watched Stranger Things yet?"
"No I haven't, but isn't it like super scary?"
"Not it's not, I watched the first season, you'll like it."
"If you say so..."

Max lied to him. Luca was really scared. Especially during the first season. He grabbed his best friend's hand more than often. It got better in the second season but still was really scary.
Because they didn't eat anything but breakfast and some snacks, Luca and Max decided to order food for dinner, before they'd start with the third season. They decided pizza was a good idea, so Max ordered one margarita pizza for Luca and one tuna for himself.
While waiting for the food, they started with the third season.

It was already the next day when they finally finished. They both were still crying over Alexei. They looked at each other and Max started yawning.
"Tired already, huh?"
"I've been awake for longer than you are."
They silently agreed to not moving and just sleeping on the couch, because they were too lazy and tired to stand up.
They fell asleep soon after that.
