chapter eleven

"Yo, we've brought ice-cream!"

"Andy, I swear to God, keep it down" Brendon threatened, closing the door.

Andy laughed as he stuffed ice-cream into his mouth, accidentally spitting some out. Pete gave Patrick some ice-cream and Patrick thanked him. Tyler grinned as the two exchanged the cutest little kiss. Brendon offered Tyler ice-cream, but Tyler shook his head. With a shrug, Brendon shoved the largest spoonful of ice-cream this world has ever noted. Dallon just watched with a smile.

Brendon swallowed, eyebrows furrowing suddenly. Dallon gave him a worried look.

"Do you, uh" Brendon started to say "Do you want some ice-cream, Dal?"

Dallon's mouth fell slightly agape and the room silenced. Everybody stared at Dallon, waiting for a response.

Dallon fixed his glasses on his nose "S- Sure, thanks"

Brendon and Dallon each took a seat beside the other on the floor and shared a single bowl of ice-cream. Pete joined Patrick and Tyler on the bed while Andy paced around the room, moaning with the taste of the cold food in his mouth.

"Hey, Bren?"

Brendon looked up at Pete, but the others didn't bother to glance.

"Could we have a sleepover?"

Now everybody's full attention was gained. Brendon gulped as the boys looked between him and Pete.

"Well, I-" Brendon began to say but was cut off by many sounds.

Pete and Patrick started to cheer, Andy said many words such as 'amazing, I get the bed', Tyler and Dallon started to laugh.

Brendon groaned loud enough to silence everybody "Guys, does this have to happen. every. single. time?"

Andy gave the question a quiet thought "Um, yes"

"Mrs Kacey's going to kill me" Brendon whined.

Pete responded with a snort "Yeah, right"

"That woman fears you more than she fears death"

Brendon glared at Andy after that comment, but Dallon added on.

"He is death"

A smile wouldn't drop off Tyler's face. These boys were just so much fun to be around. Also, he was just about to have his first sleepover. Still, he missed Jenna more than anything. If he loses these boys the same way he lost Jenna, he'll become a real threat to the world. But these boys were just like him (well, some of them were; as far as he knew).

But then again, the Jenna he'd seen troubled his smile. He knew she was dead, he watched her die, he's killed for her. He's been grieving for years because of her death. How the hell could she be alive and all grown up?

"Tyler what's wrong?"

Tyler looked up, as if he were violently broken out of his thought. He found all the boys silently staring at him. The only sound heard was Andy loudly chewing (yes, chewing) his ice-cream.

"No, nothing's wrong" Tyler shook his head, a slight frown forming on his face.

Brendon shrugged, standing up, ruffling Dallon's hair and walking a step to his tall, black closet. He opened it and reached up for the top shelf. Off it, he took many black and white blankets and pillows. He didn't bother holding them for long and just let them all fall to the ground, closing the closet.

"Cover the floor" Brendon ordered. Andy made sure to push Patrick off the bed and cuddle into the black covers. Pete wanted to protest, but Patrick told him not to. Tyler shifted a bit to distance himself from Andy and snorted at the tall beauty.

"You cover the floor, you're our host" Pete retorted, rolling his eyes.

"You got me into being the host, you cover the floor" Brendon narrowed his eyes at the pinkhead.

Pete groaned as he, Dallon and Patrick began to cover any free floor area with blankets and pillows. Tyler stood up to help them out. Brendon lied down next to Andy, trying to push him off. He eventually did manage to make Andy land on the floor and started stripping as he stood up on the bed.

"For God's sake! Brendon Boyd!" Patrick began to loudly protest as Brendon slowly and sensually took his T-shirt off. He grinned as the boys made puking sounds (minus Dallon and Tyler who just stared with their jaws dropped).

Tyler may have just become gay.

Pete threw a pillow at Brendon, but it resulted in only Brendon sticking his tongue out and starting to take his trousers off too.

He was soon enough in his black boxer briefs, dancing around on his bed.

Patrick and Pete both shook their heads and lied down on the now comfortable floor. They covered themselves with a blanket they found on the floor and gave everybody annoyed 'good night's.

Dallon laughed at the couple, shaking his head. Still, his eyes were plastered to the show Brendon was putting.

Brendon started to sing a song unfamiliar to Tyler in a far too high tone and it honestly hurt Tyler's ears a bit.

Andy then crawled from the spot where he had fallen and jumped onto the bed, cradling Brendon's legs and thus making Brendon fall from his feet with a high-pitched screech. Brendon landed on the bed, right beside Andy.

Andy then somehow snuggled himself underneath the black covers and closed his eyes, exhaling through his nose. Brendon punched him in thigh playfully before snuggling underneath the covers too.

Dallon didn't hesitate in choosing his sleeping spot. He lied down on the floor right next to the side of the bed Brendon was lying on. He made himself comfortable on the blankets-filled floor.

Tyler blinked. He walked carefully over to the spot where Andy had previously fallen to. He pulled closer a soft and fluffy black pillow, lying his head on it and closing his eyes.

But just as he was about to fall asleep-

"Brendon, I'm hungry"
