It was morning and Vance was finally leaving the hospital, him and Bruce got a ride from Bruce's mother to drop of Vance, they said there goodbyes and drove to their own home.

"I don't know about that boy vance? Bruce, I've heard of him" his mother spoke

"He's not all that bad" Bruce mumbled

Once home they were greeted by Bruce's father opening the door. Bruce asked if he could take the landline phone and plug it in his room to call someone. They said yes, and teased if it was a girl.

Bruce went upstairs and plugged in the phone, should he call first? He didn't want to call Vance as soon as he got out the hospital.

*ring-ring*

Bruce picked up the phone and it was Vance, asking if he wanted to come over.

"My mom isn't home but in sure she won't mind"

They spoke for a while and Bruce asked his mother.

"Hmm, ok. I don't want any trouble though" his mother said

"She said yes I'll come over soon" bruce talked into the phone

Bruce packed his bag and said goodbye to his mom and sister. And began walking to the address he was told. It was pretty close, he didn't have to walk super far. After he got there he knocked on the door, waiting for someone to answer.

"Hey" Vance opened the door

"Hey" Bruce spoke back

The house was small but decorated with pictures. It looked as it had been built a long time ago. They walked upstairs into Vance's room, a messy one.

"Oh, I'm sorry hold on" Vance started frantically cleaning, a slight embarrassed look on his face.

"Your room fits you" Bruce spoke

The room was covered in posters and comic books lying around, a guitar on the side that had a black metallic to it.

They went downstairs to watch some tv but didn't pay attention, they were just speaking to each other.

"I didn't know you liked to bake?" Bruce looked at a picture of Vance holding a cake, smiling.
His smile was cute..no it's not Bruce thought in s friend way- right?

"Oh yea, kinda embarrassing" Vance complained

"No it's cool, I can't bake for shit" Bruce replied

They spoke about baking for a while and decided to watch a horror movie.

"How about...this one?" Vance asked

They both agreed on the movie and started watching. Halfway Bruce fell asleep. Vance noticed and shut the tv off.

Vance didn't want to wake Bruce up so he just went to make cookies ( he loves baking 😯 what a surprise) an hour passed and Bruce woke up to the smell of cookie dough. He went into the kitchen and saw Vance taking cookies out the oven.

"Can I try one?" Bruce asked

He caught Vance a little by surprise but he was glad he was awake.

"Yea but there hot I just took them out"

Bruce tried picking up a cookie even though he was just told they were hot. They went upstairs and played video games until the cookies cooled down.

Bruce went downstairs to try a cookie, he loved cookies. He bit into one, surprised how good he was. He never took Vance as a baker.

"These are delicious" Bruce stated, eating another cookie.

"Thanks" Vance was always complimented by his mother, but he felt a little jittery when he was complimented by Bruce.

It was late but they decided to pull an all nighter. Bruce ate one more cookie and followed Vance into his room. Vance took out a blunt and began to light it, he opened a window and began to smoke.

"Sorry, you mind?" Vance asked

"No it's okay" Bruce wasn't all surprised Vance smoke

Bruce stood next to Vance, looking at the cigarette.

"What? Wanna try?" Vance noticed Bruce looking at him.
"you don't have to, I know your a "golden boy"

"No-can I try?" Bruce asked

Vance was surprised by this but let him take a puff.

"First time?"

"Yea.." bruce held it to his mouth and took a deep breath of it before coughing. Vance laughed at how he couldn't do it.

"It's not funny I was dying" Bruce complained

"Ok ok I'm sorry, you poor baby" Vance joked

"Shut up" Bruce added.

Bruce only took about 2 puffs but he already felt weirdly. Vane stopped smoking and closed the window.

"You okay?" Vane took notice of Bruce acting weirdly. "You only took 2 puffs are you serious"

Bruce kept laughing and plopped on the bed, he kept mumbling about cookies. Vance sat down next to Bruce, surprised "golden boy" was high

"You know what?" Bruce giggled

"What" vane replied back

"Your hair is really pretty" Bruce slurred his words.

Vane began to blush, he was was flustered at what he had said. But why? He's high he doesn't mean it right? Even if he did, just in a friend way.

"Okay time to go to sleep" Vance moved Bruce onto the side of the bed so he could lay down.

"Noo, all nighter" Bruce kept giggling

Vance slowly realized how close him and Bruce were, blushing even more. They were just friends, right?

Bruce kept wondering, do i? Do i like boys? No, i don't... do i? slowly falling asleep.
"So pretty" Bruce whispered

"What?" Vance was confused but couldn't ask any questions since Bruce had fallen asleep
