Danny walked down the street. He was walking to Arin's house, an he was looking at a sticky note with the address written on it. Damn, Arin has bad handwriting.

He searched for about 30 minutes until he was too cold to look around any longer. He texted Arin-

"dude, its cold outside and i cant read your address"

Danny stood in place, shivering, and waiting for a response from Arin. About 2 minutes later, he saw someone walk out of their house and yell something.

Danny squinted, and saw that it was Arin. Danny started to run towards him.

-----

Danny walked into Arin's apartment, which was much warmer than it was outside. Arin saw Danny shivering and ran to get a blanket. Danny took off the beanie he was wearing and sat it on a table.

Arin got a warm blanket and wrapped it around Dan. "Thank you." Danny said.

Danny sat on Arin's couch, looking at the small tv that he had in his room. Arin said he was going to make hot chocolate in the kitchen.

"Do you like the tiny marshmallows in your hot chocolate?" Arin shouted from the other room.

Danny was snuggled in his blanket, and poked his head out to reply, "Yes, lots please."

Arin took a handful of marshmallows and put them in his hot chocolate.

"Any reason you wanted me to come over, Arin?" Danny said, taking his arms out of the warmth of his blanket to hold his hot chocolate.

"I uh... just wanted to play video games with you man." Arin said, quickly taking a sip of his hot chocolate.

"What do you want to play?" Danny said after a pause.

"I mean, I basically have everything." Arin said, pointing to his bookshelf full of games. Danny's eyes widened. "Woah, why do you have so many?"

"I collect them." Arin said, eating the marshmallows from his hot chocolate. Danny got up and looked to see what games that he had. "I'm only good at about 5 different games, so... you'll be doing most of the playing." Danny grabbed Super Mario Bros 2 from his shelf, "I'm actually really good at this one. I know a lot of secrets."

"Oh, that game is super weird. " Arin said. Danny glared at him, "Well i'm still good at it."

------

Danny was sitting on the couch, partially wrapped in the blanket that Arin gave him. Arin was watching Danny play the game in silence. He watched the tv, and then he watched Dan's face as he thought about what he was doing.

Danny glanced at Arin, and paused the game. "Why do you always stare at me?" Arin shrugged, "I guess it's just a habit." Danny blushed softly, and placed the controller down.

"Hey uh... I gotta tell you something." Said Danny.
