Gary

In his room, Danny, with his airpods on listening to music, doing his Maths homework. Through an online website his teacher wanted him to have access to when it comes to enhancing his knowledge into this subject. Danny prefers using paper over everything else, it feels more simple for him to do, and easier for him to understand what he's doing.

A knock, coming outside from his door. Danny doesn't hear it. The volume is set to loud, he wouldn't hear anything. It's all deaf to him with his ears, focusing mostly into the music coming out from his airpods. Knocking outside the door again, Danny doesn't hear once more. Danny has been doing his homework for almost two hours, ever since Gary arrived in his house. The knocking stops. Possibly aware Danny cannot hear the noise coming outside of his room.

The figure outside his room opens the door. Not Jen. Gary.

Danny's focus into the music comes to the end as soon as he turns his head up. Becoming surprised over who the person outside his room is.

"Oh sorry if I didn't mean to interrupt you." Gary's conversation introduction between the two boys becomes awkward. Gary may know something about Danny through Jen but they didn't interact properly.

"You know, I'll just go if you're busy."

"No umm... it's okay, you didn't interrupt me. Or so it seems." Stopping Gary from trying to leave the room before he closes the door.

"So umm, what do you want to talk about?" Gary becomes a little surprise. It seems like he didn't expect Danny wanting a conversation from him.

"Well umm, before I do want to talk about something, can I come inside? If you're done with what you're doing hehe."

"No no I'm done for the meantime. I'm umm... probably on track with where I am for my school work." Gary smiles at Danny for a quick second.

"Oh good. Well done." Danny immediately logs out of his laptop. Gary leaves the door open before both boys sit on Danny's bed.

Danny and Gary look at each other, in awkward glances. They don't know much about each other. With the age gap becoming a thing for the both of them. "So... Gary... how are you?" Most of Danny's friends are his age. There are times it can be awkward but overtime, Danny and his friends were able to get along. But Danny has never had a proper conversation with someone older. Even if it's his sister's boyfriend and all. Johnny is the only older male person Danny's comfortable talking too.

"I'm good. U?" Gary becomes shy talking to Danny. Danny is younger than him and he's really close to Jen but hasn't had a proper conversation with Danny. Getting the younger brother's approval in dating his older sister.

"I'm good thank you." Danny and Gary remain silent towards each other. Unsure what to say next. Until he remembered Gary opening the door. Wanting to say something to Danny.

"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" asked Danny.

"Oh yes, that. I'm going to stay in your house for a while. To make sure Jen, your big sister, is fine."

"Speaking of my sister, how is she?" Gary smiles, happy Danny asked.

"She's doing fine. Cooked her some food for her to eat." Danny holds a laugh he wants to let out. Not wanting Gary to hear him but fails to make it hard for him to notice it.

"What... What's so funny?"

"You cooked something for my sister. And I have to admit, it's the kindest thing you ever done to her, but also the weirdest thing I ever heard." Gary becomes a bit surprised by it.

"Really and what makes you say that?"

"You're the diner skater. You skate all over the area, serving food to the good people of England. And I almost said America." Gary laughs about that.
