"So you're favorite color is Orange? That's strange. No one likes orange." Tyler mumbled to his long-time, internet friend, Craig.

One lived in Indiana while the other was in the UK.

The other male, Craig, only laughed and shrugged, rubbing the camera a bit so it wouldn't be so blurry. Tyler just smiled and took a Dorito out of its bag, placing it in his mouth and chewing with his mouth open.

"Sho Cwaig. Whatcha doin?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows slightly.

Craig on the other hand, was extremely disgusted. He held a face of both anger and just pure disgust.

"Tyler-oh my GOD! I have been over this with you time and TIME AGAIN DO NOT CHEW AND SPEAK WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN!!!"

Craig's eyes were narrowed as he went on his little rant. And Tyler thought he looked so cute. He only smirked as he listened.

"Ah how funny. I never recalled having two moms!" Tyler said, opening a can of coke and taking a drink.

Craig's face turned bright red with anger as he reached over and ended the Skype call.

Tyler laughed and picked up his phone, going to Craig's number and dialing it. After a few rings, Craig picked up.

"When I hang up, it doesn't mean call me again."

"Aw I wanted to talk with you more. Not my fault you take things too seriously."

"I'm hanging up-"

"Craig Thompson." Tyler's voice was low and calm. And it made Craig squirm in his seat.

"Y-Yea...?" He asked, voice going a little higher than what he wanted.

"Don't you dare hang up on me. If I ever see you in person, you'll regret it. I do tend to hold grudges." Tyler said, a small purr came out after his words.

Craig decided to play along, chuckling lowly.

"Goodbye Tyler~" he said, finger sliding to the end call button.

Tyler was about to respond when Craig hung up.

He laughed and put his phone down stretching. His phone vibrated and he looked, face draining of all color at the text he saw.

-Remember what I said about grudges, Craig. Just wait till I meet you.-

Craig squealed and shoved his phone away.

Craig was fast asleep on the couch when he heard the familiar ringing sound of the Skype ringtone thing he had going on. He slowly reached over and basically answered it, staring lazily at the camera.

"CRAIG!!!"

That made Craig screech and fall off the couch, poking his head up with a frown.

"Ok I'm awake now. Thanks a lot."

"Supposed to wake you up. Anyways- I have good news."

"Oh?" That got his attention. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and sat on the couch, pulling his laptop onto his lap.

"And what would that be?"

"Welllllllllllllllllll I mayyyy or may not be coming to see you this weekend or next week give or take. Let's just say the day you accidentally gave me your address, I got the bright idea to actually come meet you in person."

Tyler was grinning, holding up his ticket.

Craig just stared at it with wide eyes. It was Friday and his house was a mess.

"That's actually pretty awesome. Although I have to warn you, my house isn't the cleanest."

"So? Neither is mine. Yet again I never take the time to clean it up.." Tyler said with a embarrassed blush on his face. Craig only giggled and nodded.

"Well...when do you think you'll get here?"

"Uh. I think late Saturday or early Sunday. Depends. I'll let you know when I get there."

Craig furrowed his eyebrows.

"That means you'll be here. Why would you tell me then..oh. Tyler don't mess with mind!"

Tyler was laughing on the other side.

"Anyways. I've gotta go before I miss my flight." He said with a wink before hanging up.

Craig stared wide eyed at the black screen.

"T-Tyler!!"

It was Monday morning and Craig laid all sprawled out on his couch, fast asleep. His hair was a mess as he glasses were somewhere. But all in all, his house was very clean. But he did spend a lot of time on it.

Then came a knock on his door.

Craig slowly opened his eyes and looked to the side.

"I'm....commin with a body.." He said, rolling over and falling onto the floor. His head shot up and he hit it on the coffee table. He fell back down and laughed.

"You know what!? Come in! It's open!"

He heard the door open and a familiar snort.

"Don't laugh. I couldn't get up."

"Kinda hard not too. You look stupid."

"Whatever just get over here and help me up, Tyler."

Tyler chuckled and walked over, pulling his friend up. But he did it too fast which made him stumble and fall backwards, pulling Craig onto him.

Craig stared down at the larger male with wide eyes. He was much more attractive in person.

"A-Ah I'm so sorry!" He babbled, pushing himself off- or so he thought. Tyler just held him down.

"Well Thompson. Watch where your steppin. Gosh...so many people but out of all..you end up falling for me. That's so sweet~"

Craig just blankly stared at Tyler like the idiot he was.

"Whatever." He mumbled and pushed himself off.

Tyler laughed.

"You know you love it."

Craig smiled softly and held out a hand.

"Do I know that?"

Tyler took his hand but looked at him with a small frown.

"Yes I do."

And Craig pulled him up.

Tyler pulled him in for a hug.

"It's nice to finally meet you Craig."

Craig froze up, but eventually hugged back.

"Same for you too Tyler."
