Stepbrother

Chapter 68

That night we pushed the two beds together, upon Jeremy's request, and talked mainly about Blink-182. Neil avoided any questions about his father.

Why Jeremy wanted the beds together..? I'm not sure, he wouldn't tell me.

"Hey..." Jeremy said from behind me.

"Yeah?" Neil and I answered.

"Neil.." he addressed, "I was thinking..."

"About what?" Neil yawned from even farther behind me.

"Well uh.. ya know."

"What?"

"Ya know.."

"No.. I don't," Neil responded.

"Uhh.. Ya know what? Forget it."

"What..?" I asked.

"Nothing," Jeremy said.

"Tell me," I said.

"Yeah, what're you talking about?" Neil asked.

"I've been thinking about.. well.. you remember when you first saw me naked?"

"Yeah.."

"I was thinking about it for some reason.. and I realized that if I hadn't been afraid we wouldn't be such good friends."

"Yeah.." Neil agreed. "We might not even be friends anymore."

"Yeah... That's all I wanted to say." Jeremy's grip around me tightened. "You're hitting me in the back with your elbow."

"Sorry," Neil said.

"Why did that make you so close?" I asked.

"Well... it's a long story." Jeremy laughed softly. Neil groaned in agreement.

"Lendzieeee!" Jeremy yelled, running into the room.

"Where the fuck were you?!" I yelled.

"Did you get home okay?"

"Neil walked me." I huffed.

"Oh... well.." Jeremy flipped open his wallet and shoved it in my face.

"HOLY SHIT, YOU GOT YOUR LICENSE?!" I yelled. He smiled and nodded. I jumped into his arms and he laughed.

"No more walking!" He smiled, putting me down. "I told Neil once I got my license I'd drive him home too."

"That's fine. Does he know yet?"

"Nope." Jeremy laughed softly. I smirked and grabbed his hand, dragging him out.

-

"Neil!" Jeremy banged on Neil's bedroom door.

"Come in," he groaned.

"Are you decent?"

"Sorta."

"Get some fucking pants on!" Jeremy yelled. Neil groaned from the other side.

Neil opened the door and stepped to the side to let us in. I walked in his room and sat on his bed. Jeremy fell into a chair at his desk. Neil sat next to me. "What's up?"

"Well uh.. just wanted to show you somethin." Jeremy tossed his wallet to Neil. He caught it and raised his eyebrow. He opened it and his eyes scanned it for a second before widening.

"You got your license?!"

"Fuuuuuck yeah." Jeremy smiled.

"Cool man!" Neil smiled. "You're driving me home from now on."
