One Wrong Move

Chapter Five - Get down to business

Rhett moved in the very same day, and since Link had a room right next to his bedroom with absolutely nothing in it, Rhett got his own bedroom. Since Link wouldn't allow Rhett to sleep on that old straw mattress he brought with him they brought the sofa bed in instead, since Rhett liked sleeping on it. After all the moving, the two young men sat down at the kitchen table, exhausted. 

" Did you call your boss by the way? " Link said, leaning his head over the backrest of the chair. 

" Yep, she said she was happy that I left, and I can't blame her. I was a terrible dishwasher. " 

Link chuckled. 

" Listen, we've got job to do in the morning. Let's just order pizza and tuck in for the night. " 

" Really? What kinda job? "

" A buddy of mine is offering some serious cash if we can get his special edition lightsaber back, he lost it at a bet at the comic book store down the street. "

Rhett smiled a little. He met Link a day ago, and it already felt like they've known each other for years. Rhett picked up his phone and dialed the number to his favourite pizza place.

" Do you like olives on your pizza? " He asked. 

Link did a face that clearly showed the opposite. 

" One olive and pepperoni pizza and one pepperoni pizza. " Rhett ordered, Link crossed his arms and smiled when Rhett hung up. 

" How did you know I only wanted pepperoni, and where did you order it from? " Link smirked.

" Papa John's, and I just had a gut feeling. " 

Link smiled, he also had the feeling that he'd known Rhett for years although they only met yesterday. Rhett stood up from the table and walked into his room to unpack some clothes, Link walked in behind him. Without Rhett really noticing, and Link studied every piece of clothing that Rhett took out of the moving boxes and put in the wardrobe. Everything was either t-shirts or large, saggy jeans. 

" Haven't you ever thought of upgrading your wardrobe? " Link said, leaning his shoulder on the wall and crossing his arms. 

" Nah, I'm fine with what I've got. " 

" Not really. " Link said and walked up to one of the moving boxes. " These are made for someone four time your size. " 

Rhett sighed. 

" I can't afford better, most of those are from thrift stores. " 

" I can see that. But we're about to change that buddy. " Link smiled and walked out of the room. 

Rhett looked at Link over his shoulder and took out the last couple of things from his moving boxes, later joining Link in the kitchen again. Rhett felt a lot more comfortable when he was around Link. He leaned back on his chair and smiled. 

" Have you ever been arrested since school, or hold suspect? " Rhett asked. 

" Nope, never. I told you, I'm nice a quiet. " 

The door rang and the pizza arrived, Rhett and Link ate their pizza and later went to bed. Rhett fell asleep just as fast as he did the night before...
