"Hey, Chilled?"

"Yeah, Ze?"

"Do... Do you think we could ever get married?"

Anthony blinks once or twice, caught off guard by such a question. He looks over at Steven, who is sitting besides him on a playground. For a moment, he almost laughs at Steven's words and makes some kind of crappy joke.

But one look at Steven tells him that he's dead serious about this, making Anthony stare down at their hands, intertwined and placed neatly on the spot in between them.

"Yeah," he finally says with a small laugh. "Why couldn't we? Gay marriage is legal here, buddy. What's stopping us?"

Steven shifts slightly and leans his head on Anthony's shoulder. "I mean... We're too young to get married, aren't we? And by the time we are old enough, we'll be drowning in college or work or whatever it is we have going on. What- what if our families don't accept us? Or what if we don't last that long, anyways?"

Anthony quickly hushes Steven with a quick, chaste kiss on the lips. He smiles warmly at Steven and grabs hold of both his hands. "Of course we'll make it that far, buddy! I love you more than anything, you know that? And I'd like to think that the only thing that could ever tear us apart is maybe death. Or maybe some really good food. I don't really know," he whispers with a smile. "And if our families don't accept us, then we can run away together and make our own family with our friends. See? There's nothing to worry about, Ze. We're all good."

"I guess you're right," Steven mumbles, cuddling up to Anthony's side. "Maybe I just worry too much. "

Anthony thinks for a moment, before holding his pinky finger out to Steven. "Pinky promise me. We're gonna make it, no matter what happens, okay?"

Steven stares at his finger before laughing and nodding. "Okay, okay. I promise."

The next morning, Anthony wakes up to his two favorite people laying in bed with him. Steven is besides him, hogging the blankets, and Rex is sprawled out across the both of them taking up half the bed.

All in all, it's a good way to wake up.

He sits up in bed and gently pushes Rexxar's legs off of his and then gets up as quietly as he can.

What was there to eat for breakfast? He knew they had bagels, cereal, and bacon, but bacon was too much effort. So, bagels and cereal it is. And, of course, coffee for Steven.

He pulls out two bowls and spoons, and prepares two bowls of cereal. Though he himself doesn't drink coffee, he knows how to work a coffee maker and successfully makes a small pot of coffee for Steven. Anthony smiles to himself once the table is set, and goes to wake up Steven.

"Stevie, baby, come on! I made us breakfast like any good one night stand does!" Anthony tugs on Steven's arm, pulling him out of bed.

Steven whines tiredly, though he doesn't fight. "Breakfast?"

"Yeah! Come on," Anthony says, pulling Steven up to the table. "Look, I made bagels and cereal and I even got you some coffee!"

Steven looks at the table, and chuckles. "Chilly Willy, you forgot the bagels. But thank you for the coffee," he laughs, kissing Anthony on the cheek.

Anthony blushes as he realizes Steven is right and rushes back to the kitchen muttering to himself.

"Dammit Rexxar, why didn't you tell me I forgot the bagels? You dick," he whispers to Rex, who is currently sitting at the table in a third chair. Anthony is surprised he's not trying to steal any food.

"Hey! Don't insult him, he's being as polite a guest as I am," Ze argues. He sits down at his spot at the table besides Rex, and smiles sweetly. "We're waiting for our bagels, my oh so lovely boyfriend."

Anthony looks at the both of them, then begins to make their bagels with a defeated sigh. "You greedy fucks are lucky I love you guys.... You know that?"

It was Saturday night. And Saturday nights, most people liked to go out and do cool things, like party or find a cute person to dance with.

These guys, however, were fully prepared to spend their Saturday night the only way they knew how.

And that way was a nice, frustratingly long game of Monopoly.

Yeah, they were losers, but so what?

Anthony thought they were pretty cool. He, Steven, and Smarty had been in need of something to do tonight. So they called up their friends, and dragged a few over because the other half of the Derp Crew was busy tonight.

They had gathered, unfortunately, too many people to play their Monopoly game. It was Steven, Minx, Smarty, Bryce, Ohm, Ritz, Adam, Adam's girlfriend Cathy, Max, and Anthony, of course.

Ten people was a few too many for the poor game board. So they decided that some people had to team up, which, admittedly, didn't sound like all that bad of an idea.

Adam and Cathy were a pair, obviously. And Ritz and Ohm both clung onto Bryce, claiming that they would lead him to victory. Max said he would just watch, so that left them with... Six people?

It left them with enough to actually play. And that was good enough for them.
