Ten-Idiots in a tree

Spot walked towards the tree. For most it would have been a bit random to just have a note say 'the tree' but Spot knew for sure it was the biggest one in the far back. 

After all the months of randomly getting notes and roses. Spot neared the tree and saw that no one was there. 

Then the doubt began to kick in. What if it was just someone fooling around with him. What if it all was just one prank and he would just walk right into it. 

Spot walked a bit closer and saw something lying on the ground in front of the three. It was a red rose with a note lying next to it. 

It had his name written on it in a beautiful font. He was almost positive Jack had written it on it. 

He hesitantly picked up the note as he sat down against the tree. 

'Hey Spot, as this all is about to come to an end and everything is about to be exposed first a few things. At first sorry again that we made you wait for this long. We thought about it and at one point we had pushed it so much forward that we decided to just wait for today. As you may know a red rose of course stands for love. I hope that you love us too. And that you won't get mad at us when we go and tease you. (Which of course we are going to do) Almost all the newsies knew about our plan and helped with it. So a lot of planning went on even behind placing the roses. Here we go with the special shoutouts to Jack for the cards and to Buttons for helping with the roses and the meanings. And now just look up.' 

That's where the note was cut off. Spot looked at it confused for a moment before looking up in the tree. 

He saw two figures sitting there but couldn't really make out who they were as the sun shone through the leaves blinding him slightly. 

"Hi Spottie" The one on the right said and a smile grew on his face. 

It was one of the boys he had secretly hoped was behind it all. 

"Antonio Racetrack Higgins and Albert DaSilva get your asses down here" Spot yelled as he stood up still a smile on his face. 

The two boys that were named jumped down from the tree. Race picking up the rose that still laid on the ground. 

"Sean Conlon do wanna go out with us sometime" Albert asked as Race gave Spot the rose. 

"I think I would be crazy to say no to that, wouldn't I" Spot asked as he smiled at the pair in front of him. 

"You already are crazy so we didn't know" Race said with a small smirk on his face. 

"You are so going to be the end of me" Albert mumbled as he pulled Race in a soft kiss making the younger boy go red and shut up. 

Spot just started at the two with a smile on his face. 

"Are you going to stand there or join us" Albert asked as he extended his hand for Spot to take. Spot slowly took and soon he was also pulled against Albert. 

The three of them stood there for a bit just enjoying each other's presents. 

"We should get going Medda's making dinner for all the newsies" Albert said as he stood between the boys making them hook their arms into each other. 

Spot smiled as he looked at the two boys.

This was how his life was meant to be. 

He didn't need his unsupportive parents. 

He just needed the people he loved around him. 

He needed these idiots around him. 

Because at least they were his idiots.
