Loveless

Chapter Eleven

//TW: There is a homophobic situation about halfway through, and the use of the f slur. It isn't very graphic, but if you find it triggering feel free to skip! I marked where it starts, and where it ends. Stay safe :)

We woke up this morning to his mom making french toast; she's always made the best french toast. We all ate together, and then Oliver and I washed up for her.

"All right boys, hurry into your costumes so I can get photos before you leave!" She says, even though we won't be leaving for another few hours.

"We have to shower before we can even start to get ready." Oli responds, still tired. "Toby smells bad." He teases, laughing.

"Oh I smell bad?" I say, laughing and pushing him.

"Yup." He says, and I jump towards him, but he runs away. I chase him up the stairs and into his room, and he tried to hide in the corner.

"I can literally see you." I say, standing directly in front of him.

"No you can't." He replies laughing, so I tickle him, backing him against the wall so he can't escape. "Stop! I'm gonna wet myself! No enough!" He yells, falling to the floor in a ball.

"Fine, but only because it'd be disgusting if you did that." I say, walking away from him. He grabs my ankle and I trip. He starts tickling me, and I flail my arms and legs laughing.

"This is what you get." He says laughing, pinning me under him so that I can't move.

"Stop! Get off I can't take it!" I yell through laughs, and he continues to tickle me. "Oliver stop it!" I yell, and he does but he doesn't get off of me.

"Who?" He asks, and I try to catch my breath.

"You, idiot." I say, still laughing. He leans down and kisses me, then stands up.

"It's Oli to you." He says with a mocking attitude, and I smile. "Let's go, we need to shower before the girls get here." He says, and I follow him to the bathroom. We brush our teeth simultaneously, and I can't help but feel like maybe this could be our future.

"Do you want to get in first?" He asks, playing his playlist on his phone.

"No, that's okay, you can." I say, sitting down on the floor. He turns the water on and takes his clothes off, and I just stare at the ground.

He takes a quick shower, leaving the water on for me when he gets out. "I turned the water all the way up, the way you like." He says, and I smile.

"Thanks." I respond, taking my clothes off to get in. He sits on the ground in only a towel, now waiting for me to finish showering. "You don't have to wait, if you don't want to."

"I know, I want to though." He responds genuinely. I shower as fast as I possibly can, and get out. We go back to his room and dress in our costumes, wearing clothes under so we can take them off if we need to.

When we go downstairs, his mom squeals with excitement. "Ohh my boys it's like you never grew up! Just like when you were little." She says, hugging us. We haven't dressed up properly for Halloween in nearly five years; she can thank Connor for this one.

Lilith and Beth come over about 20 minutes after, and Beth is dressed at Pitbull. Lilith is dressed as Wanda, though without her Cosmo, it's a bit confusing.

"Shrek!" Beth yells laughing; I knew she'd appreciate my humor.

"Mr. Worldwide!" I return, pulling her into a hug. "Sage and Margaux are on their way, then we can take pictures and then go to Connors." I say.

The girls gossip with Oliver's mom for a few minutes, talking about Connor and Xan. She insists on meeting them sometime soon, and suggests we invite everyone over for a movie night. We hear a knock on the door, and Oliver invites them in.
