"PLEASE DONT HU- "what?! Hurt you?!" Vance's dad wasn't there. It was his mother. "Uhm.. hi mom" "what are you talking about hurt you?! who's hurting you?!" "no one! I was.. joking." "Vance hopper do not lie to me. If someone's hurting you tell me now!" "no one's hurting me mom. I'm sorry, I promise. It was just a joke." "I really hope your not lying to me Vance." "I promise"

Bruce's pov: you gotta stop worrying for him bruce. He said he'll be fine. what am I thinking of course he's not okay! He came to school the next day. Vance had covered his bruises so nobody would see. "Bruce?" "Mhm?" "my mom almost found out about my dad last night.. I'm glad your keeping it a secret and haven't told anyone." there it was again. Bruce felt guilty for telling the school nurse about Vance's father. But he had too. "oh yeah haha.." "uhm, do you wanna hang out tonight at my house? My dads working late so it'll just be me Lily and my mom." "oh, sure!" "good! I'll see you later :)" that smile. it meant everything to Bruce. it made him feel happy. Just being with Vance made him happy.
after school- "soo wanna watch a horror movie?" "absolutely not." "oh cmonnn, don't be a baby, princess." Vance had said to Bruce. Bruce felt his cheeks warm up. "w-what did you call me?" "I said don't be a baby, princess." he really did say that. Bruce wasn't imagining. maybe it's just.. a tiny crush? "oh okay." "What do you wanna watch princess?" "Vance shut up!" Bruce's face was really red now. "oh cmon, you know you like it." "n-no I don't!" "Your face says otherwise." "what are you talking about?" "you look like a tomato." Vance chuckled "omg shut up just watch the movie." "whatever you say princess." "Vance stop!" "princess, princess, princess, princess" Bruce's whole body was now red. Vance started laughing. "would you shut up?! You jerk face." "did you just call me.. a jerk face?" "shut up I didn't have time to think." "if you want your body to stop being red your gonna need to put something cold on it." "like what?" "a cloth- wait I have a better idea." Vance started laughing. "no no no Vance-" "I'm freezing Bruce, if I give you a hug the red will all go away :)" "VANCE NO- Vance hugged Bruce, he was now redder than ever. Bruce pushed him off. "You suck!" "aww brucey the tomato." "don't call me that either!" "bruceyyyy" "I'm done with you." Vance chuckled
Vance pov: he's perfect. I don't know what I even feel about him anymore. he's kind, caring, smart, pretty, talented. it makes no sense. I used to hate him. maybe I'm just not used to this feeling. It didn't mean I liked him. Right? either way, it's not like he'd like me back. we were just friends. best friends. oh god. did I really fall for Bruce Yamada..?
