 "OI SYKES YOU GET YOUR BUTT BACK IN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

"No chance!" Let me explain, it was six in the morning and I was (rudely) awoken by my amazing joker of a best friend Nathan with a bucket of ice cold water. Not pleasant. Now currently I am running after him to punish him with a severe amount of tickles. He is very ticklish... Ah my only advantage. 

"I said get over here you clown!" 

"As if!" He was running at (his) top speed (which is really slow! Mind you, he is asthmatic), maneuvering through the obstacle course that is our apartment and of course he tripped over a stool. 

"I'll get you Dorothy!" I shouted, it was kind of our inside joke ever since we performed The Wizard Of Oz in Primary School, Nathan was the lion and I was Dorothy but Nathan stole my wig and a few of my lines too so I always call him Dorothy. Then I attacked him with tickles, he giggled like a school girl and was clutching his side within seconds

"You wimp Nathan!"

"Stop... Tickling... Me! Can't... Breathe!" He managed to murmur out in his laughter. I tortured him for one more minute then stopped in case he really couldn't breathe

"God..." He gasped

"That's what you get for waking me up, you jerk!" I said hitting him on the arm

He looked down for a moment and his smile disappeared, he saw me watching and immediately smiled again

"I just want to spend as much time together as possible."

"Oh yeah? How come?"

"I just... I just do." 

"Are you okay Nathan? Do you want to tell me something?" He looked guilty 

"No nothing. Let's just go and have lots of fun okay?"

"Alright then. Are you sure you're okay though? You're really pale and your eyes are bloodshot and red"

"I'm fine. Now go." I got changed in a nano second and we had the best possible day ever. We popped into see Sylvia Young, our old teacher and hanged out with her for a while, laughing at all the stupid things we'd done. We went to our favourite ice cream/coffee bar and pigged out on our self titled van-nili (Nathan and Lili vanilla. It's amazing! It's vanilla icecream with every type of topping you could think of... YUM!). We went to the park and accidentally acted crazy to scare the kids away so we could mess around on the swings... Yeah accidentally... We went to our favourite restaurant and pigged out on yet more food. It was like memory lane and every time we went somewhere I couldn't help but think back to all the other times we'd done it. 

"Lil, you're the best friend I could've ever asked for."

"You too Nathan. Now why are you being so soppy?"

"No reason." He said a bit too quickly

"Alllrrrriiiiggghhhttttt."

"You know I love ya though don't ya?"

"Course Nath, and I love you too." He pulled me into a hug and all my thoughts melted away but I couldn't shake that nagging feeling that something was wrong.

We went back to our apartment and made pancakes and ate those for a while, we put the DVD's of all our old performances on and cringed/laughed through it all. I got tired and he carried me into my bedroom, placing me under the covers and tucking me in. He leaned down and kissed my forehead and whispered
