Before I start this chapter, I just want to thank each and every one of you who read this fanfic and enjoy it! It really does mean a lot and warms my heart to read all of your nice comments! :) Thanks to all of you reading, we've hit 3k reads! That's amazing! Thank you thank you thank you for all of your support on this story and I look forward to writing a ton more! Also, I try to update the story every 2 to 3 days (sometimes not as often), but sometimes I write daily. It often depends on how much time I have on my hands. This summer especially I've been so busy. I'll definitely continue to write over the school year, but most likely not as often. The updates may end up being weekly, so I hope you guys understand. Either way, I'm going to add on to this fanfic as often as possible and I can't wait to hear more of your feedback! Thanks again!
"Buzzzzzzzzzz!" I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I opened my eyes and rubbed them, yawning. To my left, Troye was cuddled up, asleep. We weren't holding hands anymore. It was a bit disappointing to me, but I soon understood that if we had still been holding hands, Tyler or someone else in the room might have seen. Alfie and Zoe were making some breakfast in the kitchen, Caspar was still asleep, Joe was on his phone, and Tyler was watching TV while still seated on the singular couch. I couldn't find Louis, so he probably went home or was in the bathroom. The smell of bacon, eggs, and maple syrup filled the air. I smiled, slowly lifted the blanket and placed it on Troye, and then stood up from the sofa, stretching. I felt Tyler staring at me from behind. "Goodmorning!" Zoe yelled to me. I laughed a little. "Goodmorning!" I responded, my voice cracking. "Come on over! Help yourself!" I nodded and went over to the breakfast table. The display that Zoe and Alfie had set up was monumental. It actually looked like the kind of set up a restaurant would make. There was everything too; pancakes, whipped cream, eggs, bacon, waffles, french toast, regular toast, bagels, biscuits, tea, blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, etc. I usually didn't eat much in the morning, but this looked too good to not eat. Zoe then called Tyler and Joe. "Come on! The food will get cold! Don't worry about Caspar and Troye though, let them sleep." I loved Zoe so much. Not in a crush way, because....I mean.....I'm gay.... But I mean I love her so much as a friend. She was the most genuine person anyone would probably ever meet in their life. Before anyone sat down with me at the breakfast table, I quickly stood on my chair and took a picture of everything. Standing on chairs and taking pictures was becoming a new hobby of mine. I laughed to myself quietly.
Joe was the first to join me for breakfast. Tyler was still sitting on his singular sofa, probably waiting for me to finish eating before he came. Zoe was still cooking some eggs and bacon, but Alfie came to sit with us. Louis still wasn't in the room so I asked about him. "Does anyone know where Louis is?" Zoe came to the table to serve everyone some bacon. "Yeah, he's just taking a shower." I then decided to ask about Tanya and Jim. "What about Jim and Tanya?" Alfie raised his fork towards me as to speak directly to me. "They went home last night." I nodded. "Oh okay." 'That's what I thought.' I said to myself.
Zoe finished making the last bit of food by the stove and then joined the rest of us for breakfast. I looked over at Tyler, who was switching between looking at his phone, and the TV. "Tyler are you going to join us?" Alfie asked with slight concern in his voice. "Yeah let me just finish up checking some of my Twitter feed." Troye then got up from the sofa. "Goodmorning." he said. "GOODMORNING!" All of us said back at the same time. Troye took a seat next to me at the table, but he didn't take anything to eat, he just sat there for a bit. "Do you want anything Troye?" Zoe asked. "Yeah, I'll serve myself in a second I just woke up so I'm not that hungry." Troye then yawned. "Oh okay." Zoe said. I looked over to Alfie who was eating a full waffle with whipped cream all over it stabbed with a fork and laughed. "What's funny?" Troye asked. The whole table looked at me. "Alfie," I said, still laughing. The whole table began to laugh. "What?" Alfie asked smiling. "It's just funny the way you're eating that waffle." I explained to him.
"So," Alfie started to speak. "What are the plans for today?" We all turned to Zoe. "Yeah what are we doing today?" Everyone's eyes turned away from Zoe and at shirtless Louis, who was drying his hair with a towel. "Goodmorning Louis." I said to him. "Goodmorning." he smiled. Zoe began to speak, "So I was actually thinking, there's this dance place that I want to go to."
"Oh really?" I answered.
"Yeah," she continued. "It's super fancy though, so we're going to need to get you boys a tux to rent." I liked the sound of this. "So is this like a ball or something?" Joe asked, unamused. "No! It's just supposed to be a fun dance thing with friends, although it's really well put together, so it's formal. I got the tickets a while back and I really wanted you guys to come with us. Marcus, Naomi, Jim, and Tanya are also going to join us as well."
"That sounds really nice Zoe. I'm up for it."
"Well okay Connor, but we need to get you a tux." Zoe said. I smiled. "Hey!" Troye called out. Everyone looked at him slightly confused. "I'm going to need a tuxedo too." We all laughed. "So what are we waiting for?" Zoe asked. "Let's get you boys fancied up."
