Just Pretend

Chapter 12: Trillie

Tre pulled back from the hug and looked Billie over.

"W-well are y'okay now? Are y'sure?" Tre asked. Billie laughed and nodded in reply as Tre tilted his face to different sides, looking him over.

"M'fine Tre." Billie said.

Tre smiled. "Okay." He kissed Billie's head softly and suddenly they heard Mike from the corner of the room.

"Ah, Trillie." He said, looking up at the ceiling. Billie stared at him.

"Really." He said, and Mike looked back at him and laughed.

"What? I ship you guys. You're my homies." He said, saluting them with two fingers. 

"Mike have you been on acid again?" Tre asked.

"...No. You just have two noses." Mike said confidently. "And an extra head but s'okay because I'm just talking to one of you." 

Tre nodded slowly. "Yeah okay. So Billie what are you-"

Mike suddenly spoke up again. "Isn't cereal great? You just add milk and it's like boom: food. I mean I could marry cereal. And don't even get me started on the flavours. You got your-"

"Oh my god Mike why." Billie laughed. "wHY."

"I haven't had my coffee." Mike said simply.

"Go and get some." Tre said through gritted teeth. "Now." Mike got up and left, and Tre turned to Billie. "So you're alright now? What was wrong with you?" Billie shrugged.

"Dunno. But yes, I'm okay." Tre smiled and nodded.

"Good."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as Billie was aloud home, he was out of there. Mike dropped him and Tre off at Billie's, saying he was going to get their instruments and bring them over for practice. Before Mike left them , he looked at Tre and Billie strenly. 

"Are you two going to be good?" He asked, looking at them over his sunglasses.

"Yeah. Geez Mike, d'ya think I'm gonna wait till you drive away then jump on him and fuck him or somethin'?" Tre muttered.

Mike nodded. "Yup." Then he rolled his window up and drove off, so Tre helped Billie into the house.

"Y'want a coffee or somethin'?" Billie asked.

"Nah I'm fine Bill, sit down." Billie nodded and sat on the couch, Tre sitting next to him. Before either one could say anything, Tre had pressed Billie against the couch and kissed him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mike got all the instruments out of the car and lugged them off the drive, pulling them into the house. He put his hands over his eyes when he saw Tre and Billie, naked.

"Please say this is just some naked chilling homie time and you guys didn't fuck again." He muttered with his hands still blocking his vision.

"Uhm, no." Billie said, and they quickly got dressed. "Not chill time."

"Goddammit Tre what did I say before I drove off? Whore. Wait so, are you guys like a couple again?" Mike asked.

"No." They both said.

"Oh my god. Y'know what? Trillie is too hard to ship. You guys are stupid and totally in love and you just refuse to see it. I'm done," He pointed to them both "With both of you. Goddamn. I'm gonna start shipping me and cereal. Yeah, Mereal. I've decided." And then he left, leaving Billie and Tre to talk.
