As they enter the house Chay and Macau can hear Pete complaining about Marsh's mom.

"That woman was such a bitch-

"how dare she-"

"You shouldn't have held-"

"I would've smacked-"

Chay and Macau can only hear bits and pieces as they walk upstairs to Macau's room. As they enter Macau turns to Chay "Hey wanna borrow something to wear? So you'll be more comfortable."

"If that's okay." He responds.

Chay plops down on Macau's bed and as he does Macau hands him a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt that is too large for Chay.

"You can change in the bathroom and I'll change out here" Macau says pointing at the bathroom.

Chay nods and heads in. As Chay puts on Macau's shirt he can't help but laugh. The shirt is much too big for him and it slides off his shoulder a bit. It was to be expected Macau was Muscular a bit on the bulky side while chay although not extremely skinny was not bulky.

"Everything alright in there?!" Macau calls out.

"Yeah I'll be out in a minute!" Chay says quickly pulling on the basketball shorts that were provided for him. He walks out of the room to a still shirtless Macau who has his back to him. With a mischievous grin on his face he jumps on Macau's back.

"Chay what are you doing?!" Macau says laughing.

"You're a strong young man aren't you? Come on, try to shake me off!" Chay says in between laughter.

Macau starts jumping up and down as Chay laughs so hard it's hard to hold on. Macau jumps onto the bed, squishing him, making Chay laugh harder. "Alright I give up! You win!" he says still laughing and Macau turns around and plops on top of Chay, his head landing on his chest. Chay says nothing, his hand automatically moving to run his finger through Macau's hair.

"That feels nice," Macau murmurs, smiling. Chay hums in reply.

They lay there for a while and Macau suddenly asks "Is there something between you and my cousin."

Chay sighs "How'd you know?" Chay doesn't bother denying anything because this is Macau. Macau who he feels safe with. Macau who he knows wouldn't judge him for being a dumb kid in love. "Just a guess he responds

"You want the whole story?" he asks

"If you're okay with telling it." Macau says still laying on top of Chay who lays still for a second no longer playing with Macau's hair.

"Just don't stop playing with my hair"
Chay smiles and starts playing with his hair again. Macau doesn't interrupt him as he tells him everything from beginning to end. It's only when Chay speaks about how much it hurt, that it hurt so bad it affected his love for music that Macau speaks up.

"My cousins a fucking moron Chay, you truly didn't deserve that he took advantage of you" he sits up as he says this Chay doing the same.

"I know and now he wants to come back like nothing happened like he didn't hurt me"

That makes Macau even angrier.
"Chay you are a good person you desrve someone who will treat you right you deserve nothing but the best." he says turning chays face towards him softly holding it in his hands.

Chay leans into his touch.
"Thank you"

"That being said, Chay you shouldn't give up on music it's your dream, it's your dream. You might've started making music because of Wik, but you should continue for YOU." Chay loved music; it had gotten him through many difficult times. Many times where he felt lonely, and hopeless. Macau was right he couldn't allow this life he was thrown into or kim to take anything else from him. He would try to regain his passion for music. Maybe he could start by joining a music club when he entered university.

"If it'll be of any help I can be your new inspiration" Macau says winking at Chay who laughs in return. "You know what you might just be on to something" Chay responds under his breath. "Anything else you'd like to tell me while we're here?" Chay complies and tells Macau about his sneaking out and how he bumped into Kakeru.

"Honestly I can't blame you for sneaking out, it's hard being so guarded, having to lie to most of your friends about what's going on, it's not easy." Chay waits for the inevitable "You shouldn't sneak out because it isn't safe" but it doesn't come. Macau looks at Chay "Next time invite me." he says smiling.

Smiling back he responds with an "alright."

Macau cuddles up to Chay as they continue talking, making jokes and laughing. They hear a knock on the door and Vegas walks in holding a giggling wild haired Venice who seemed to have woken up from a nap. "Hey Pete wanted me to tell you guys that dinner is ready, time to come downstairs."

Chay and Macau head downstairs and join Pete at the table. Vegas sets Venice in her high chair and sits down at the head of the table with Pete to his right and Venice beside Pete. Macau takes Vegas' left and Chay sits next to him. They all enjoy a dinner with lively conversation and lots of laughter. Pete can't remember the last time he had a meal like this with Porsche. He couldn't remember the last time he actually had a proper conversation with Porsche.

"So Chay Macau tells me you've decided to apply to the same university as him." Pete tells Chay.

"Yeah I've decided what I want to study" Chay replies.

"That's great Chay"

"Will Macau be dorming? I don't think I've asked you?" Chay says turning to Macau.

"No, I think I'll just be staying at home. Why are you considering dorming?" responds Macau. Chay hadn't thought about anything so far but now that he had mentioned it, dorming might not be a bad idea. "I think I might, actually." The conversation changes after and dinner finishes in a pleasant light. Chay and Macau head upstairs and they head right back to Macau's bed.

"You have a great relationship with your brother and Pete" Chay says, lying on his stomach.

"It wasn't like that at first, I was angry and scared and I'm not gonna lie I have my bad days but I'm working on it. Therapy has helped a bit." Macau says lying on his back next to him. "You know, even if you don't want to talk about anything and just want some sort of distraction, I'm just a phone call or text message away. I'll drop whatever i'm doing and be here for you" says Chay, grabbing Macau's hand.

Macau pulls Chay towards him and Chay adjusts himself to lay on his side with his head on Macau's arm. He throws an arm over Macau, hugging him. "Thank you, Chay. I hope you know the same applies for you as well. If you ever need anything just tell me and I'll be there in the blink of an eye." He turns to Chay and kisses him on the forehead while Chay yawns.

"Should we take a nap?" Macau says yawning as well.

"You read my mind" Chay says as he dozes off and a few seconds later Macau does the same.
