Kyles POV:

Stan opens the front door and sharon immediately turns her head around to see me with a colorful fruit gift basket. She looks shocked to see me, Mrs. Marsh rushed over as she was squealing.

Sharon - "Kyle! It's so nice to see you! stan was right, you really do look different. Honestly, when i heard you and your family was back in town; i was excited!"
Kyle - "Haha, it's nice to see you to Mrs. Marsh. Here's a gift from my mother"

I hand her the basket as stan goes upstairs with my bag

Sharon - "Wow! well, tell sheila i said thank you~"

I hummed in response as i rushed upstairs, i see stan playing with his dog in his room. I chuckle as i walk over.

Kyle - "Remember to apply the ear cream i have you for your piercing"
Stan - "i knoww, wanna play minecraft?"
Kyle - "dude, i'm gonna have to play bedrock cause i'm not home dummy"
Stan - "it's fine, i'll play it on my phone aswell"

I shrugged and sighed as we flopped onto stan's bed, i engulfed his scent before pulling out my phone. I couldn't make out what stan's scent smelled like, wait! It's like aaaa... plant-y smell, maybe? Oh! it's definitely a wet rainforest type smell, yea def..

Stan - "dude, you sure your okay? your staring at your blacked out phone"
Kyle - "Oh- yea sorry..."

I blushed in embarrassment and rub the back of my neck, it's a habit of when i'm lying or just nervous. We play minecraft for a bit before moving onto other games, we also watched a couple movies. before we knew it, it was also 8:00. I got up and stretched, i grabbed my bag and headed inside the bathroom.

Kyle - "i'm gonna shower. in the meantime, can you order pizza? your moms out and i don't feel like cookin
Stan - "sure"

TW!! MENTION OF SCARS/BRUISES/MARKS

I locked the door and turned on the shower, then i started to strip. I looked at my bruises and scars in the mirror, i sighed and rubbed my face. Honestly, if i never had gotten in a fight with that stupid bitch then i wouldn't have these marks. but it was for a good reason and i definitely don't regret it. I stepped into the shower and started to lathe the body wash onto my hands then onto my body

time skip lolol

I turn off the water and and step out onto the shower mat, drying myself with my towel. i looked at myself once again in the mirror before putting on my boxers and shorts. I picked up the bottle of healing cream and squirted some on my bruises, i then cover my scars with a few bandaids. I grabbed my bandages from my bag and started to unravel it, i wrapped it around my body but i had trouble doing it. Most of the time it would be my mom or a friend who would do it, i don't know how to do it myself. I wanted to ask stan but i felt embarrassed if he saw me in this state. Well, either way i have to heal these stupid bruises... I sighed and and faced the door, i slowly opened a slit. big enough for me to put my head through, i saw the raven haired boy sitting on his bed watching some dumb youtube video.

Stans POV:

I was watching a dumb youtube video on my phone until i heard a familiar voice call out to me, it was kyle. i look up to see his head peaking out the bathroom door.

Kyle - "stan..?"
Stan - "hm?"
Kyle - "uh—can you help me with something?"

I blush but try not to get my hopes up

Stan - "sure, what is it?"

Kyle seeps his head back to into the bathroom, leaving the door open. I get up and walk in to see the red haired boy standing infront of the mirror with lots of bruises, scars and marks.

Stan - "Jesus! what happened to you...??"
Kyle - "i got into a fight when i was in cali not too long ago, i-i just need help putting on the bandages. id appreciate it if you didn't say anything about them..."
Stan - "alright..."

I could tell that kyle was pretty insecure about them so i didn't say a word about them. Kyle handed me the bandages and i started to wrap them around where kyle told me to, his hip, a part of his bicep and above his chest area. i put the rest of the bandages back into his bag as kyle put his top on, kyle quickly wiped a tear in his eye. I'm guessing these marks are really doing a number on him.

Kyle - "Stan, you don't see me any different right?"
Stan - "course not, dude! your still kyle, my super best friend. and it's always going to be like that. I just got a message about the pizza, wanna talk as we eat?"
Kyle - "sure"

he smiles in relief, I never knew i could feel sad and happy at the same time. I'm sad that kyle has these bruises on him that change his whole prospective on his body but happy that he knows that i love him. i'm guessing this is what bittersweet feels like? i don't know, I wrap my arm around kyles neck as we go downstairs.

time skip againnn

TW!! MENTION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT
Kyle - "so basically.., this guy on the train started to touch her n shit *munch*"
Stan - "dude, stop talking while your eating"
Kyle - "sorry lol"
Stan - "continue"
kyle - "He was all over her, i nudged ##### and we both told him to stop but then he was like 'so what?'. he was like 2x our size. Long story short, we had a massive fight on the train and we won hit but we did get hurt.—But as least we won"

We both chow down on our last pizza slices, we place our dishes in the sick and head upstairs
with our soda cans

Stan - "Damn dude, your a hero"
Kyle - "you think? it was just the right thing to do"
Stan - "yea, but still. Rarely anyone stands up for things like that, especially in public like on trains and shit"
Kyle - "i guess, why are you so smiley?"
Stan - "i don't know, maybe because i'm friends with someone so cool and strong haha"
Kyle - "your strong too! you can totally beat someone up good in a fight, it's just that you have bad fighting tactics and strategies dude"
Stan - "yea, i'm stronger than you but you would still win if we were ever to get in a fight"
Kyle - "true"

we chatted for a bit and then we fell asleep in each others arms.
