The birds & the birds

Ye

  I woke up to the warmth I fell asleep to, sunlight now making its way through my hair and warming my face even more. I look up at Ike and he's look down at me smiling, which quickly turned to panic and frantic blushing and looking around. "I-I um..it's not wh- I mean..." Ike took a deep breath and started a new sentence, "Are- are you okay?" I nodded and sat up, instantly regretting it as pain shot into my shoulder, I winced and laid back down. "What happened last night?" Ike propped his elbows up, bring caution not to touch my shoulder or make me move.
  "After you started to get in a with Dave and did some things... He jumped on you and started punching you and kicking you everywhere..." He let out a small chuckle, " I was about to attack him too...till Todd and some other people held me back while Addy pushed him off. Once I cooled off, you were still knocked out so Addy drove us home." Ike finished and was once again blushing. I loved Ike. "S-so why are we in the same bed, uh cuddling?" He looked at me in the eyes. "That's another story. Stay in bed, I'm gonna make us breakfast." He avoid me and got out of bed, walking to the "kitchen.".
  I laid my head back into his bed and looked at the ceiling that was decorated with glow stars, thanks to me and my love of stars. Why did he ignore my question? Does he know I like him? Is there even a possibly he likes me...? "Why is this so hard.." I ran my hand through my hair thinking about the possibilities.
   
  "Hey Ike what are you making?!" I yelled, moments later he came running over with a spatula in hand. "Eggs and waffles." He looked back to the "kitchen" and his eyes widened. "I- uh gotta go!" He ran back and soon enough the fire alarm was set off. "Burnt eggs and a flaming waffle!" Oh god Ike. I tried to get out of bed as fast as possible without hurting myself, "Ike take the eggs off the burner and wave something at the alarm to get the alarm to stop!" By the time I made my way other there the blazing waffle was in the sink, still on fire... But the eggs were off the burner and Ike was waving his sock at the alarm. "Hunter I got this go lay down... Never Mind can you put out the-" I already shuffled over to the sink and poured water on everything. "Jeez you don't know how to cook at all." Ike chuckled and looked down at the floor. "Yeah never learned.... I can only make noodles...we can just get take out or have the college food like usual.."
"Ike there is a reason, we went food shopping."
"Oh is Addy going to cook?! She said she'll make all of us this really good spaghetti...then said something about meeting someone's standards." I rolled my eyes, understanding the joke she made and shook my head. "I lived with my mum most of my life, I know how to cook. No gimme the flipping thing." I reach out to his hand and the pain came back. "Do we have any pain killers or something..? My shoulder and eye still hurts, everything else is just a little sore." He nodded and went to one of the small cabinets we had. (Yes I know dorms aren't actually this big, but who cares it's a book.) "We should probably get some steak from your eye..." Ike handed me a pill and I swallowed it. "Isn't that for black- he gave me a black eye didn't he?" Ike nodded and looked down again. "H-hey it's fine...lets just cook okay? I can teach you if you want." He looked up and smiled.

  After I taut Ike how to properly make breakfast food, we sat down and ate, with Fairytale playing on my laptop. "Man that Lucy chick is pretty cool, her name is nice too...if I ever had a kid I'll name her that." I nodded shoving eggs into my mouth. "Can we talk about what happened last night?" Ike stopped looking at the laptop and stared at me. "Fine. What do you want to know?"
"Why did you let me hold your hand?"
"Pass next question."
"Why were we in the same bed cuddling basically."
"Pass."
"Ike you can't keep dodging my questions! Please answer them!"
He shook his head and took out his phone. Some point I'm going to get the answers! "You're birthday is in a few week right?" Ike was still looking at his phone. "Yes why?" He looked up and handed it to me. "I bought us tickets to that band you like...so you know we can celebrate and I can see whatever music you like in person." Nice job changing the conversation. "Ike your the best! I always wanted to see them in person!" And leaned over the food tray things we had and hugged him. "Oh wait don't we have classes starting soon..?"
"Yeah....but they are mashing thanksgiving and Christmas break at together so we get a lot of time off. Just this week and half of next week left.."

(Plot skipping those weeks because I'm not going to write that crud)

"Happy happy happy, happy birthday to you! It's your 20th, your freaking old!" Addy sang as she threw shredded essays over me, while Ike sat back and laughed. "He's still short and cuddly." Ike said in between laughs. "Says the person that cuddle with Hunter!" Ike's faced turn red kicker than you can say gay. "Y-y-you told her about t-that?!" He looked at me with his mouth gapped open. "I'm basically is theory person AND his best friend, of course he tells me everything!" She replied for me while throwing more paper around the room. "Anyway," Ike cleared his throat "The concert is in few hours. We can eat and everything after that, but only if you want." I nodded liking the idea, the quicker we get there the closer I am to the music. "Hey don't forgot me! You and me are his only friends! Don't butt me out!" She yelled as she walked back over to us. I smiled and shook my head. "We aren't butting you out crazy paper lady, but thanks for doing this guys." They smiled and Addy wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "Sorry to kill the moment, but if we don't leave now we will hit traffic."

~time skipping~
  I bounced on my feet, joy and excimer rushed through every vein in my body.  "Can't wait can't wait can't wait!" I screamed while jumping and spinning in circles. "Gonna sing my throat-" Addy and Ike grabbed my shoulders, "Hunter calm down or Addy isn't going to give you your present." I shrugged off their grip and crossed my arms. "I'm sorry I'm excited!" They laughed and we continued to wait.
  Finally we made it to the front of the stage, and we were surrounded by hundred of other fans. Ike leaned over to me and asked, "Hey when are they coming-"
"Please welcome the band you been waiting for Panic! At the disco!" I couldn't help myself, I screamed at the top of my lungs when they came walking up on stage, waving to the crowd. Just my lucky, they started with one of my favorite songs and I instantly started singing and dancing along.
  I'm just setting, I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no
I'm not pulling for you, you're just pulling at me
I'm not a betting man but this is a sure thing

I've been to Tokyo and to South Africa
So many places that you may say I've seen it all
But my favorite place
Is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back in a bathroom stall

  I smiled and danced and sang along, till the song was over. I didn't care what others thought of how I was acting. Or how I looked, not even how my basically white hair doesn't go with the Patd shirt I have on. All that mattered was that I'm here, with my friends who look like they are having fun. Songs amount songs continued to play, and I continued to be happy. Even Addy and surprisingly Ike started to join me. "Before we end we have something to say, to someone!" Brendon (the leader singer) announced into the mic. "A little somebody told me it's someone's birthday!" Oh god. Nonononono. The crowd went quiet, whispered waved throughout the crowd. "Is someone by the name Hunter here?!" Oh god. I was now scared and excited out of my mind. I slowly back my way into Ike's side and hide there still he shouted, "He's right here!" Everyone turned to me. "Happy birthday Hunter, thanks for being a fan! Your friend told us ahead of time about you. How would you like it if  we song a nice calming song to end the day?" I nodded and inched my way out of Ike. Brendon nodded to his band and the tone began.   
 
  I looked around me and everyone was waving there arms or just swaying back and forth, some couples were dancing together. I stood there watching everyone sway, even Addy found a guy to dance with. I turned around to Ike and his hand was in front of me. "Hunter will you uh... Dance with me?" I looked down at his hand and took it. We slowly danced as the song continued, just looking at each other as we did. To be honest he usually looks pissed of, but time to time he looks like a fluffy lion. This is something I can get used to.
