The boys on the side of the road [CREWFIC]

8- Stick to the plan

a. n.: there might be some chapters in the story that won't be Sidearms' nor Speedy's POV. Like this chapter.

D20

Speedy parked the van in front of a gas tank and we all got out of the van. While Speedy filled up the vehicule, Deluxe and I went inside the store to buy snacks and drinks.

On our way there, Deluxe tapped my shoulder. "They're really stupid of letting us stay, they don't even know us!"

I laughed and looked at Speedy. I winked at him and walked into the store. "They don't suspect anything and that's what matter", Deluxe continued.

"Yeah, Side almost caught me this morning though", I murmured to my friend. I picked up a bag of chips and walked to the fridge in the back.

"What do you mean he almost caught you?!", panicked Deluxe.

"Relax, the bag was in front of me and I hid everything before he could see anything", I explained.

We entered the fridge and grabbed a 12 pack of beer. "Good, 'cause you know what we'd have to do if they ever found out..", he whispered, grabbing two giant size sacks of gummy bears.

"What the fuck do you need these for?", I pointed at the treats as we got in line for the cash register.

He shrugged. "Side likes them."

"Side? Come on Deluxe, he doesn't need that shit. Put that back."

"What? No! They're suppose to like us and that's how imma get Sidearms to like me", he arguyed. "By showing him I listen to him when he talks to me."

I gasped at Deluxe. Was it possible that... "What?", Deluxe asked. We put our stuff on the counter and the girl being the cash register scanned our items.

"Are you...falling for him?", I gasped.

"What?! Nooo! I'm not even gay, feller!", D4 almost screamed in the store.

"It doesn't seem like it though", I chuckled.

"I could say the same for you and Speedy! You were practically all over him earlier", he said back, grabbing the beer as I grabbed the food. We stepped out of the store and walked back to the van.

"Now, stick to the fucking plan. I don't want anything to fuck up", I warned Deluxe. "If they discover anything too soon, we're fucked, and I don't want to have to kill them."

"Yeah, of course, but if I were you, I'd show a little bit more interest in the guy", Deluxe pointed out as we reached the van. "We can't waste too much time."

I nodded and he opened the door, stepping in the van, me following behind him.

"What took you so long, guys?", Speedy asked.

"There was a lot of people", I shrugged. "Where do I put these?", handing him the beer.

"Woah! They let you go with beer?!"

"Yeah, the girl didn't even ask for ID."

"Well that's just great then", he laughed as he put the beer away.

"I gotchu something, Sidey", Deluxe smiled at him, handing him the bags of gummies.

"No way! My favorites!", he gasped, snatching the candies out of Deluxe's hands. He jumped on his feet before hugging D4. "Thank you!"

"Anything for you, Sidearms", Deluxe laughed, ruffling his hair.

"You really shouldn't have given him candies", Speedy sighed. "He'll make a fucking overdose out of these one day!"

We all laughed as Sidearms ripped a bag open and started eating the gummy bears. I saw Deluxe watching him with a goofy smile and I rolled my eyes discreetly.

Speedy came behind me and tapped my shoulder. "You owe me 35$ for the gas", he said, stretching his hand out.

"That much?", I said, fishing my hand in my pocket for money.

"It's a big ass tank", he said and nodded as I handed him the cash. He put the money in his pocket and went to sit in the driver's seat again.

"No! I'll drive", I told him. "It'll give you a break."

He eyed me suspiciously. "You got your license?"

I retrieved my license from my wallet and showed him. "Okay, cool. Thanks, by the way. I was kind of tired to drive, and since Side doesn't have his license he can't drive", he explained as he sat in the passenger's seat and me in the driver's seat. "I'm glad we stumbled upon the two of you, otherwise I would have to drive all the time", he laughed. I laughed with him and started the engine.

The night was beginning to fall and we were all hungry. "How about we stop at the next drive-thru we see?", I suggested.

"That's a great idea. I think we're all hungry, right Side?", Speedy shouted so Side could hear him.

"Yes!", Side shouted back.

"You've got your answer", Speedy laughed, looking at me.

I stared back at him, laughing a little bit as well. He really was attractive, but I couldn't allow myself to like him for real. Make him believe I did, yes, but really like him? I couldn't. I just hoped D4 wouldn't fall for the kid even if he's not even gay. Anything could happen.

"Eyes on the road, D20", Speedy giggled. "I know I'm totally your type, but you need to concentrate on the road if you don't want to get into an accident."

I focused back on the highway in front of me, chuckling hearlessly. Totally my type, yeah.
