The Life Of Pepsicola (Book 1)

moving.

It had been...months of this process, getting the house.  Instead of just two weeks. Those weeks have been hell.

Dave woke up to a knock in the door, he got up and realized he had no shirt on. He opened the door, shivering at the coldness coming into the apartment.He opened the door to find the moving company.  Forgetting about the shirt he just let them in to start grabbing boxes.  They had also realized in this month that they couldn't have a dog yet..if Lucy was there by the time they got into the new house they would take her but for now..they couldn't.

John woke up and lazily and hugged Dave, arms around his neck. John had been up way longer than Dave that morning.

"Thanks so much sir!! We will call you when we are done!"John said, not even knowing what was going on.
Dave rolled his eyes, hopeing John hadnt already been up this morning, drinking...he had been doing that lately and Dave wasn't too happy about it. John was doing it as a time to rejoice but that didn't make Dave any happier. He would have to deal with it today though...and have a talk later.
"Don't mind him...you can start taking boxes to the truck..'dave whispered

John started to get in the way and that's when Dave was getting more irritated. "Johnathan!"  Dave grabbed his hand, walked him to the kitchen and then picked him up to sit him on the counter.

"What is up? Your acting like you completely drunk. This is ridiculous. You knew it was moving day."

"Shh" He put his finger on daves lips, leaning close to kiss him.

Dave didn't even care to notice John before he looked towards the trash can, and had to to take it out but saw alcohol bottles in it.

"Okay john. Let's play a game!!" Dave was trying to sound enthusiastic.

"What is the game?!"John smiled starting to get excited.

"We have to see who is quiet the longest." He tried to sound excited, getting already beyond annoyed..

"Okay!"
"There is a special rule john. You have to also see how long you can sit right there "

Dave hated all of this, he groaned and looked at him. He began to walk around the apartment to help with furniture and boxes.

The moving crew finished and Dave had picked up john afterwards, John began to start whining "Dave I'm not allowed to get up!!put me down!!"

"It's okay babe. you won the game. Let's get into the car."

Dave was so excited for when this would be over. He thought John was cute but oh so annoying.

He starts crying "I wanna play the game still!!"

"I know...but we can't." John drunk was a very bipolar thing. Sometimes happy sometimes sad.

They got into the car, Dave had someone drive them because John would have just made us crash from his fit.

John was still a sobbing mess, at this point the reason he was crying was completely different and so dave shut him up with a kiss. John grips the others hair and kisses back.
John kept sniffling as Dave wiped his tears away
"See? its okay."

"D-Dave..I love you."
"I love you too babe."

Time had passed and all boxes were now out of the  apartment and in the new house as well as the furniture.

Dave grabbed all the bed stuff, getting it set up for John to sleep so he wouldn't be too sick later. Dave laid John down and kissed his cheek before letting him sleep.

Dave unpacked all the living room stuff before sitting down to relax

Dave began to think of the room in the house. One room for an office and one for John and Dave, and the rest could before for any kids that they had planned on.

Soon enough John came out and sat on Dave's lap. Dave began to run his hands through John's hair.

"My head hurts."
"Well why wouldn't it be? you were completely drunk off your ass..and you still have some sobering up to do."

"I don't remember.."John bit his lip.

"Okay well I should check your Temperature..good thing I found it while unpacking."he sighed as he got up, laying John on the couch. ,"You shouldn't drink. No more drinking. I'm not playing. I don't want you going to the hospital. You had your fun with it."

Dave grabbed the thermometer and put it in Johns mouth. It beeped after a moment.

"101°F.  you have a fever babe. you need to go lay down, And when you wake up, we can go get the stuff for our pup."Dave said calmly to him.

He looked upset cause he didn't wanna lay down. Dave walked with him to the room and kissed his forehead.

Dave closed the door and started unpacking more of the house. First with the kitchen then with the bathroom, and eventually everything was unpacked that they had brought. The house was still bare but they would need to shop online and what not.
Dave began to watch a random TV show. To his surprise, 19 kids and counting was in. It was the only thing he could find on. Not his favorite but oh well.

Dave was excited, he was thinking about what if they had their own family. Eventually the TV was off and Dave went to see his fiancé

He walked in, seeing John's face very red. He hasn't seen it that red since before his cancer relapse. He tried not to think about it though.

Before long, Dave realized John was wearing his hoodie. He laid next to him and cuddled, hopeing John was okay.
