Mistletoe (BoyXBoy)

Chapter 2: Comfort

        It had already started to snow in the afternoon. The two was cuddling with each other in their sleep. Everything was peaceful but the phone calls keep going off and off. Annoyed of this, Bryan picked up the phone and said hello. "Oh thank the lord! You guys are safe! Why wouldn't you answer the phone?", said a worried mom. "Sorry! I fell asleep and your son was asleep also!", Bryan nervously responded. "Where are you guys? We've been here for 2 hours and we all started to become  worried when you didn't pick up the phone!", the mom said with an angry tone. "Please don't ever do that again!", the mom angrily said. "Yes...mother", Bryan said. The mother then hung up and the phone was left with a static sound. Bryan turned it off and placed it down. He slumped back when he remembered that Jonnie was asleep. He looked down and saw that Jonnie was cuddling with Bryan's arms and Jonnie's head was laying on top of his chest. Bryan chuckled at this and slowly placed his hand on the bunny's ears. Jonnie slowly woke up with a hiccup. "What time...is it?", Jonnie groaned. Bryan looked at the clock. It read 1 pm. "One o'clock...", Bryan replied. Jonnie then nodded and started to get up. He then got off the bed and stood up. He started to stretch and you could hear his bones make a pop sound. "Ahhh...", Jonnie moaned. "That's much better! I was starting to get cramps", Jonnie said. Bryan nodded and got up too. "Your mom called me because she and your family wanted to meet us at the mall around 11 am. But you were asleep and I fell asleep too!", said Bryan. Jonnie gasped. "Bryan!! She could've been worried for us!", Jonnie said. "She called me and I told her that we both fell asleep. So we'll meet her at the mall right now if you want to...", he replied. Jonnie calmed down and nodded. He turned around and went downstairs. Bryan shrugged and went inside the bathroom. He then took off his clothes and went in the shower. He suddenly turned the knob to hot when he was shocked from the cold water. "Ahhh!", he yelped and backed out of the water's way. He waited til it became warm and he started to take a shower.

    Jonnie's POV:

  I walked down the stairs and heard the bathroom door close. I also heard the shower go on. I went into the living room and sat on the couch. I turned on the tv and saw the news channel go on. I took out my phone and got scared when it buzzed. My co-worker was calling me. I thought I was on my vacation? I thought. I answered the phone. "Hello?", I hesitantly said. "Hello! Good Afternoon! I've head that you've been having trouble at work? If that's the case then let me know! I've heard that some people has been insulting you! I don't know why you have to deal with that but I'm truly sorry. If you have anything to tell me, go tell me!", the other voice said. I started to sniffle and I  told him about the bullies that I met since high school. "Oh my god! You had to deal with them for that long?", he asked. I  nodded with a mhmmm. "I'm so sorry to hear this! I've got a counselor if you need any emotional help?", the caller asked. "N-no thanks Carl... Don't need to worry", I said. Surprised at this, the caller responded. "If you need help...come call me! Don't need to be afraid! You don't deserve to be bullied!", Carl said. I said ok and thanked Carl. "Well, see you tomorrow!", i gladly said. The phone hung up and I  was left by myself. 

  I started to cry again and buried my head in my hands. "What happened?". I jumped and turned around. Bryan was standing at the doorway with a worried face. He was wearing an apricot colored coat with a white tee. He was wearing purple jeans. "N-N-nothing!", I lied, trying to wipe my tears away. Bryan made the face that said that's a lie. But he ignored it and came closer to me.  "Come here...", Bryan said while lifting his arms up. I slowly walked up to him with a blush and we both hugged. "It's alright...", Bryan said while saying a few more comforting words and patting my back. "I hate it at work...", I mumbled. "What happened?", Bryan asked. "It's my bullies...", I straight up said it. Bryan then nodded and made an angry face. "It's alright! I-I-I'm handling it with my c-c-counselor...", I said. Bryan sternly looked at me. "You have a what! A counselor?", he madly said. I shakenly nodded. "That would mean one thing! This went serious! What happened?", he said. "I-I-I was um...I I I...", I couldn't take it and started to cry. 

    3rd Person View:

  Bryan saw this and started to feel guilty. He forced Jonnie too hard and now he's crying. "I'm... I'm sorry man... I shouldn't have done that...", Bryan apologized. Jonnie was sniffling. Bryan was clicking his tongue and hugged him. "I was...I was just pissed. I'm truly sorry for that. Sorry baby...", Bryan said. Jonnie buried his face into his taller friend's shoulder. He blushed at the word baby. His friend usually calls him that when he's crying but it still sounds...weird to him. He snuggled his nose into the tall figure's chest. You see, Jonnie would seem to be embarrassed for crying but to Bryan, he would take it seriously. 

    "Look at me baby...", Bryan softly said. "Please look at me in the eyes babe...", Bryan said again. Jonnie looked at Bryan with his baby blue eyes like little sapphires. For some reason, lots of people liked his blue eyes. For Bryan, they mesmerized him and it looked fascinating.  But other people look at the man weirdly because of the bunny ears. It isn't Jonnie's fault that he was born like that. No, it was unique to Bryan though. Bryan and Jonnie has been really close friends and Bryan is the only person that understands Jonnie, besides his mom. His dad is...he's in jail. Why? Because he was abusive. Yet, Jonnie still loved him. Bryan doesn't. When he first met Jonnie's dad, it was like he knew right away to not like him. The father would abuse Jonnie's mom, especially Jonnie. But Bryan told the cops, and the cops arrested him. Jonnie was happy but sad for the way that it turned out. He thought that his father could change. But his father never did. That left a broken-hearted family. 

    Bryan was looking straight into Jonnie's eyes and was still mesmerized. "Earth to Bryan?", Jonnie said. He tapped Bryan's nose, scaring Bryan. Jonnie laughed. "We have to get going!", he said. Bryan nodded and let go of the hug. He liked the hug and was sad to let go. They started to head out the door. "Where's your coat?", Bryan asked. "Right here!", Jonnie replied while taking out a black and white trench coat. They both smiled and walked out the door. Bryan started to lock the keys and Jonnie went to the car. After he locked the house door, he walked to the car too. They had a 2006 Blue Toyota white black wheels. Bryan pressed the car keys, opening the door. Jonnie opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat. Bryan sat in the driver's seat and closed the door. He locked all the doors and turned in the key. The car turned on and they both buckled their seat belts. Slowly, Bryan drove the car out the driveway and started heading to the mall. 

  "So...what are we going to do at the mall?", Jonnie said while looking at the window. "Just meet and spend time with your family.", Bryan said. "Okay!", Jonnie said and took out his phone. Bryan was looking at the drive way while driving. He stopped immediately when he saw a black cat cross the street. Bryan opened the window. "Shoo! Go kitty!", he said. The black kitten looked back and ran away. Bryan suddenly started to drive again. "Wait!", Jonnie yelled. Bryan stopped. "What is it babe?", Bryan said scared. "We shouldn't cross the path of a black cat! It's bad luck...", Jonnie said. Bryan sighed. "Babe, that isn't true...That's just a myth baby...", Bryan said while chuckling. "Oh...okay", Jonnie said. The car started to drive again.

  After a couple red lights and some traffic, they finally made it to the mall. "That took forever!", Jonnie said while looking out the window. "Yep...", Bryan said. He parked the blue car into a parking spot. He then took out the key and opened the door. He went out to receive a cold shiverring chill. Jonnie jumped out the car and started to shiver too. They both closed their doors and headed toward each other. "Here", Bryan said. He hugged Jonnie and they stayed there for a second, holding each other to keep each other warm. They both then went to the mall together.
