I'm now on my way back from work to pick up Jake. I'm crossing my fingers that he got along with the boys.

I park in front of their house before getting up and knocking on the door. Josh answers and smiles at me.

He lets me in and leads me to the living room. Simon and Jake are sat on the couch playing Fifa.

"That is so unfair!" Simon yells before standing up, I assume that Jake has scored. I'm not that oblivious when it comes to video games.

"That is so fair," Jake retaliates, clearly not as rialed up as Simon. Simon sits back down and continues to play. I watch them, not knowing how much of the game is left.

"To be honest with you, I haven't seen Simon out of his room for this long," Josh jokes causing me to smile and shake my head. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"Nah, that's okay. Thanks though," I sigh and Josh nods before going into the kitchen to get something for himself.

Eventually, the game ends. Jake won and Simon is still pouting about it.

"Hey Jay," Jake says, smiling at me causing Simon to suddenly turn around and stare at me.

"I didn't even realise you were here," Simon laughs before standing up and coming over to hug me. "Guess what?"

"My brother beat you in Fifa?" I questions and Simon sighs before shaking his head. I mean that is true.

"No, I'm going to teach you to play," Simon says and I take a minute to let what he said register in my mind. Jake has disappeared somewhere else, and I don't know what to say.

"Um, no," I mutter before walking away from Simon and towards the kitchen. I'm guessing that's where Jake went, I don't know where else he would go.

"Why not?" Simon whines, following me. "It'll be fun."

"It will not be fun. It will be embarrassing," I say and see Jake and Josh talking to each other. Both of them drinking something.

"Josh tell Jay that we're teaching her to play Fifa," Simon whines and I sigh before grabbing Jake's glass. I take a drink of it causing Jake to glare at me.

"You don't know how to?" Josh questions and I shake my head. Why is that a shock? Why would I know how to play?

"I'm teaching you, come on," Simon says before grabbing my hands and pulling me back into the living room. He points to the couch before looking at me, "sit."

"I'm not a dog Sim," I mutter before sitting anyway. He hands me a controller and I sigh. Last time I played a video game was when Jake and I were still living at home, at least four years ago.

He starts explaining which buttons do what, but I loose track. I nod like I know anyway.

"Ready?" he questions and I nod, even though I'm completely not. Josh and Jake come back into the living room to watch as Simon starts the game.

"What? Who? How?" I question immediately, already not understanding. "I'm so confused."

"Jay just," Simon tries to help but I cut him off.

"Fuck," I mutter, now spamming the buttons. Somehow Simon is still managing to beat me.

"Here," Simon says standing up and handing his controller to Josh. Josh looks confused before squishing onto the same couch as Simon and I. I'm still spamming buttons and somehow I have the ball. "Calm," Simon says before placing his hands over mine, stopping me from continuing to move my fingers like a maniac.

Simon presses down on my fingers, getting them to press the buttons that are supposed to be pressed.

By the end of the game, I'm guessing what buttons need to be pressed, and Simon is telling me if I'm right or wrong.

"We won," I say in shock. I just beat a Fifa YouTuber. "We won! Oh my god, we won!" I shout before standing up and pulling Simon into a hug. I quickly peck his lips, way too excited.

We both stare at each other shocked. Did I just kiss him?

"Wait, are you two a thing?" Josh asks confused, and I can see Jake glaring at Simon. I'm tempted to tell him to piss off, because I know he's not going to do anything, but that'll just make the situation worse.

"Um," Simon says, not knowing how to answer that. What does being a thing actually mean?

"Well, Simon finally has a girlfriend. I'm so proud," Josh says before ruffling Simon's hair. Simon groans before pulling away from both me and Josh.

"Shut up dad," Simon mocks before going into the kitchen. He's going to act like that didn't happen.

"What just happened?" Jake asks and I look over to him, just as confused. I'm confused with Simon and my own feelings.

"I don't know," I mutter and Jake sighs as I glance over at Josh.
