Pov Sage

"Thank you for today," I smile at Axel as soon as we stand in front of my front door. "No problem," he smiles. He presses a kiss to my forehead. "Sleep well," he says. I feel the blood rushing to my cheeks, luckily it's dark outside. "Trust" I mumble absently and walk inside. I close the door behind me with a smile.

I walk upstairs. Mom is already sleeping. My room is empty. Meri isn't there. I walk to my window and look at his room. He's in his room. This time I climb the tree without falling. "Hey" I say and climb into his room. "Hey monkey" he laughs. I chuckle and lie down next to him on the bed. "What are you watching?" I ask and look at the TV screen. "The walking dead" he says. "But I'll turn the power off, your eyes can't handle it yet," he says in a childish voice and then starts laughing. "Ha ha ha" I mutter sarcastically. He turns off the TV. "And how was it with Axel?" he asks, grinning. The heat immediately rises to my cheeks. I unconsciously smile. His smile, his eyes, just everything. "Very nice to see that." Meri laughs. "I'll ask Axel for the details," Meri grins and wiggles his eyebrows. "Nooooo Meri!" I grin unconvincingly and playfully push his shoulder. He shakes his head, laughing. "Oohh, I'm not supposed to know something," he laughs. "Yes," I blush a little. Why do I always have to blush? "Is Sage a little in love"... Little child.

"Dominos!!!" Meri shouts across the living room when the doorbell rings. I run to the door laughing. "No, I'm early," Meri shouts. I feel a push against my shoulder. I lose my balance and fall onto the mountain of coats on the ground. Meri opens the door. The pizza delivery boy looks at me questioningly. "Hey. He has money" I say with a self-satisfied smile.

Meri gives the boy his money and takes the pizza. He slams the door again. "I have pizza. Yes I have pizza. Yammy yummy. Yes I have pizza!" Meri sings, doing some silly thank you as he walks to the kitchen. I get up laughing. Can't we just act normal for once? Oh wait no nevermind. Normal is quite boring, I prefer to keep it crazy.

"Meri!" I whine and try to grab a piece of the pizza. He laughs and holds the pizza even higher in the air, making it even harder for me to reach it. I try to grab the pizza slice by hanging halfway over him, but my arm slips and I fall. Yes yes very good. My English is very good.

Well, I had fallen. I lie on Meri's legs and watch as he grins as he brings my pizza towards his mouth. I look at him defiantly. "What?" he grins. "My pizza" I say. "Who paid?" grins Meri. "I asked if I had to pay you back!" I laugh. "He sticks out his tongue and then stuffs the pizza slice into his mouth in one go. "Were you hungry or something?" I laugh. He laughs and shrugs. "You also have pizza here," he laughs with his mouth full and takes a slice from the box. He gives it to me. I laugh and take a big bite of pizza. Hmmm if there is anything tasty then it is a Hawaiian pizza.

I look at Meri. He is watching a movie. He has to laugh. His eyes start to sparkle. And his smile. "You're staring," I hear him say. I snap out of my thoughts. Shit what the hell was I doing. I feel my cheeks turning pink. Oopsie. Meri looks at me with a grin. I sit up a little. Meri puts an arm around my shoulders and pulls me towards her. "I'm also nicer than Axel. I know that," he chuckles. "Hey! "I don't think so" I laugh and start hitting him on the chest, which really makes very little sense. "I love you too," he laughs. "Sure monkey. I love me too" I laugh and stick my tongue out at him. He facepalms himself with his other hand and shakes my head, laughing. 1-0 for me. I always win.
