Luke
I was humming under my breath putting the shopping away when a pair of footsteps sounded behind me. I turned expecting it to be Emmy but instead I found Drew and Shane both bright red with huge grins on their faces. I raised one eyebrow. “What have you two done now?” Drew giggled and skipped to the fridge. “Shane? Care to explain?” Shane just shook his head “Nothing we haven’t done anything”. I squinted my eyes at the pair of them. “Sure you haven’t” Drew reappeared at Shanes elbow handing him a bottle of water. I crossed my arms and gave them a stern dad look. “Seriously Pillnahn we haven’t done anything…..yet” Drew grinned and skipped off into the living room Barrone trailing behind. I shook my head. “Kids what you gonna do with them?” I said out loud to no one in particular as I continued with what I was doing before I was interrupted.
Drew
I slumped down on the sofa in the living room and grabbed the remote flicking through the channels. I stuck some random tv show on and snuggled into Shanes side when he sat down next to me. “Shane?” I asked quietly. “Yeah sweetie?” he replied just as quietly. I smiled at the pet name he’d already given me, “Shane when do you want to tell the guys?” he looked down at me thoughtfully. “I don’t know, I suppose it will have to be soon though because we cant keep it from them forever can we?” he answered nuzzling the top of my head. “Your hair smells nice” he said absently I blushed “Thank you, its your shampoo” I felt the shaking of his chest as he laughed at me “I thought that was disappearing quite quickly, why don’t you use your own?” I shrugged. “It doesn’t make my hair as soft as yours”

I held Drew in my arms and smiled to myself at the feeling running though me. I felt happy, no ecstatic , I never wanted this to end. Everything felt calm, I could hear Luke pottering about in the kitchen, probably either putting the shopping away still or cooking, I could hear Keveridge sleeping down the hallway and Emmy humming. I sighed happily. Nothing could ruin this.
Emmy
The flat was unusually quiet. I liked it, it gave me time to think and get creative. I walked over to one of my boxes of stuff and rifled through it till I found what I was looking for. My sketch book and pencils. I lay on my stomach feet in the air and drew whatever came to mind, the guys took centre stage in the first one I drew. It was my take on the weapons photo shoot they did. I finished it quickly and turned to another page my creative juices flowing. I grinned, I hadn’t had this much motivation in a while. I stopped after a while since my hand was beginning to cramp and looked at the big plain wall and then back down to my sketch book. An idea sprung to my head. I stood up and went searching for Luke. I found him in the living room slumped in one of the chairs The Timids curled up talking quietly at the far end of the sofa. They looked so cute cuddled up together, Drew playing with Shanes fingers. “ ‘Sup Emmy?” Luke asked realising I was stood in the doorway. “Errm I was just wondering where a ladder was” Luke frowned. “What do you want a ladder for?” I grinned at him “That’s for me to know and you to find out” I answered playfully as he rose and wandered over to a cupboard in the hallway. “Here,” he said handing it to me “Be careful I don’t want to be driving down to A&E tonight because you’ve fallen and broken something” I nodded and skipped off. Once I was back in my room I opened my sketch book and climbed the ladder before starting to draw all my random little doodles on the wall.
Barrone
I disentangled myself from Drew to use the bathroom as I walked past Emmys room on the way back I could see her stood on the ladder a pencil in hand drawing lightly on the wall. Knocking on the door so as not to startle her I walked in. “So this is what you wanted the ladder for then.” She turned and nodded “Yeah I was just drawing and decided what I wanted to do, I’m going to paint it when I’m finished.” She stated excitedly her eyes sparkling. I don’t think I’d ever seen her so excited, in fact the only other person I could think of where I’d seen the same sparkle in their eye was Drew on a sugar high or being mischevious. “If you want I can help” I offered. She nodded “That would be nice, give me a chance to talk with you” I looked once more at the wall and spied our logo and the Ashes bat within the random swirls and curls. “I’ll let you get back to this” I told her as she turned back to the wall.
Luke
Shane entered the room and made a beeline straight for Drew picking him up and cradling him gently in his arms. Drew immediately responded by grabbing Shanes hand and weaving their fingers together in his lap. They looked so intimate that I started to feel as though I was invading their privacy, quietly I slipped out the room. Emmy was still in her room and Keveridge appeared to still be sleeping. I grabbed my coat and decided to go for a walk. I needed to get some air. I stepped out onto the pavement and the cold air hit me in the face making me take a sharp intake of breath before it reappeared like haze in front of me and I let it go. I walked for a while before I came upon a small park. It was empty. I made my way over to one of the benches and sat down. I pulled my jacket tighter around me and then dove into my pockets looking for the gloves I was sure were in there. Finding them I shoved them on and then rubbed my hands together. I yawned and stared into the distance. A small noise made me look down. A cat was rubbing their head against my leg. It yowled again at me. I smiled and reached down picking it up. It head butted me and started purring. I smiled, gently rubbing it behind the ears. I noticed it didn’t have a collar. I looked around in case someone was looking for it, maybe there was a poster on one of the lampposts or something but there was nothing. Standing up I started home. Guess I’m bringing home another stray.
AN: hi guys well I haven’t been at school this week apart from one day because of a couple of panic attacks, so due to the amount of free time I’ve had I’ve been writing, my dad said I should start a hobby to distract me from the stress schools putting me under so I picked up this again because I feel bad for neglecting it. Anyway I’m sorry I haven’t updated in ages on anything. Let me know what you think enjoy.
