*Chris' POV*

Aoife's hands slid up my chest, resting on either side of my face as she deepened the kiss, "Mm-" She pulled away briefly. "Yeah?" I asked, taking off my hat to fix my hair before I put my hat on backwards again. "Nothing---just, no brothers to interrupt." She said. "What do you mean, Aoife?" I asked with a smirk on my face. "Hmm--" She walked over to her bedroom door, closing and locking it, "First time we won't have commentary." She stated, walking back over to me. I dipped down and kissed her firmly, scooping her up under her thighs before I turned around to lay her back in the comforter of her bed as our lips moved together. Once I laid her down, I stood up briefly to take my shirt off before I got up on the bed, and laid on my side beside her as we began to kiss again.

*Nick's POV*

"Yeah, mom---he's staying the night at his little girlfriend's house---and they'll bring him here tomorrow." I said, scooping some alfredo on my plate. "That's so sweet, though." Mom said happily, "That's so good for him." She added. "Or is it---" Matt said, sitting down at the dining table, "What happens when we leave---" He said. "Who knows, maybe they'll make the distance--" Dad said, "Like Hercules." He added. "Ew, dad---don't refer to my favorite movie as Chris' love story." I scrunched my nose up, "Makes me sick." I added. "You don't want your brother happy?" Dad asked. "Of course I do, dad---just don't reference Hercules, for it, please." I corrected. "So do they have any plans, while he's there---or--" Mom asked. "I sure hope not." Matt and I said together. "Boys!" Mom exclaimed, knowing, then realizing what she had said, "I meant while he's---whatever, you get it." She shook her head. "I'm all done, actually." Matt said, shaking his head as he stood from the table to scrape his place. "You hardly ate." Dad said. "I'm good." He laughed, then saw our dog walk into the kitchen, "Hi Trev---" He said in a high pitched voice before he knelt down to pet him.

A couple hours had passed, and we hadn't heard anything from Chris. I had texted him and let him know we had made it to mom and dad's, but hadn't heard anything in response. But we just hoped he had forgotten to his phone in his backpack or something, until around one o'clock when we decided to call him. "Hello--" Chris answered. "Way to let us know you got there, asshole---" Matt said, speaking through the speaker phone. "Sorry, my phone died and I had to plug it in---" He replied. "Why do you sound all groggy---did you f'real take a nap already?" Matt asked. "No---just---mm, chillin--" Chris responded. "How is it?" I asked, he responded in a yawn where he very clearly thought I'd understand, "English, please--" I retorted. "Mm--sorry---" He paused, "It's good. Nice to just be us---no offense--" "Some offense taken." Matt said quickly. "You get what I mean--" He said, then phone notified me that he requested FaceTime, I accepted. It showed him shirtless in a mostly dark room. "Did you get freaky?" Matt asked in a whisper in case mom or dad were near. Chris gave us a look, "No---just comfy." He said, "Her bed is really comfy." He said just before he turned the camera to face the bedroom door, where Aoife stood, holding a glass cup, wearing Chris' t-shirt, and no visible pants, "Chris---" Aoife said, pulling the shirt beyond her thighs. "They saw you in shorts last night--" Chris said, she gave him a look, "Whatever--okay, well I'm safe--I'll talk to you guys later, okay?" He said, brining himself back into focus. "Okay, be good." We said together, "We love you--" We added. "I love you too--" Chris said. "Bye guys!" Aoife called as he hung up the phone.

I set my phone down on my lap, and shook my head, "Dude's in love." I said. "He's not in love." Matt said, "Swoonin, maybe---but not in love, that's crazy." He added, "They're definitely gonna have quite the decision to make." He finished, sitting down on the couch beside me. "Yeah, I mean---it's not too technical. Worst case scenario we stay here for a little longer--which I love." I said, "Love being home." I added, grabbing the throw blanket from the back of the couch. "I do too." Matt said.
