K2; ((5 A.M))

glowing stardust

The two didn't have a car at all. The boys didn't realize that until they got outside.

"Shit," whispered Kenny.

The museum was thirty minutes away by car. Walking there would way too long.

"Is there a place in which we can rent a car? Taxi maybe?" Kyle suggested.

Kenny paused. He then lit up.

"I think I saw a place! It's only a block away!"

Kyle sighs in relief. He was worried that they'd be walking the entire trip.

Kenny led Kyle to a beaten up shack. Kenny walked right in. Meanwhile, Kyle was a little hesitant. He eventually followed. When he walked in, he noticed that the shack was crammed with motorcycles. To Kyle's surprise, all of them seemed like they were in very good condition. However, Kyle couldn't drive a motorcycle for his life. Kenny talked with the person, and they laughed. 

"Okay, thanks!"

Kyle raised an eyebrow. Kenny went, and took out one. The two left.

"Okay first off, what the fuck."

Kenny simply beamed.

"Oh. I just know that guy. That's all."

Kyle opened his mouth to say something, but he closed it. Even though that barely explained anything, he shrugged it off. At least they have a ride.

"Do you even know how to drive a motorcycle?"

Kenny simply responded by getting on the motorcycle, and starting it up. Kyle jumped at the sudden sound. 

"Well? What are you waiting for, hot stuff?"

Kyle felt his cheeks heat up. 

"Never call me that again," he said, as he mounted the motorcycle. He wrapped his arms around Kenny's waist. Kyle sighed, flustered.

Kenny smiled, and then took off. 

Once they found good parking, the two walked in. Kenny looked around. He was completely astonished by the muesum. He ran around.

Kyle swore that Kenny completely lit up. He was smiling like an idiot. He stared at everything. He's never seen Kenny so full of life. His attitude was contagious. The next thing he knew, Kyle felt something. He's felt this..feeling a couple of times with a few people. He paused, and time froze for him. His smile, his bubbly laugh, the way he showed compassion for his family, and his friends. He always put other's before himself. Always. Through out all the shit he's been through, Kenny has stayed...well, he's stayed the same Kenny he's known since fourth grade. How come he was just now noticing all these perks of his friend?

Kyle's train of thought stopped.

Friend.

What if he was more than just a-

He mentally scolded himself.

No. Kenny's just a friend. 

He looked over at Kenny who was staring at constellations on the wall.

Kyle gazed fondly at him.

He was in love with Kenny, and he knew it damn well.

The two grabbed ice cream at a shop inside the museum.

"Nobody ever told me that there was glowing stardust in my veins."

Kyle couldn't help but laugh.

"That's...one way to think of it."

Kenny quickly finished his ice cream, and he decided that he would wait for Kyle. 

"What are we doing tomorrow?"

"Well...tomorrow we're going to a party. Don't worry, I don't have a big family. The party is 8 p.m, until 8 a.m."

Kenny almost froze.

"It's twelve hours non-stop?!"

"Yeah, but I'm going home early. I don't do well at parties."

Kenny nods.

The two didn't get home until 8 pm that night. Kyle took a shower, and Kenny got changed into his pjs. Kyle eventually did the same. They both turned on some television. Kenny had control of the remote since Kyle was going to attempt to sleep for awhile since he was only on two hours of sleep.

"Hey Kyle?"

"hmm?"

"Thank you. For everything."

"Mhm. No problem. Goodnight."

"Goodnight. Sleep well."

Kyle fell asleep with ease. As for Kenny? Not so much. He was up at 2 am, rethinking multiple things. He found himself crying, as terrible memories replayed in his head. Kyle woke up, probably because of a bad dream.

"Kenny? Kenny, is everything okay?"

Kenny sniffled, and quickly wiped away his tears.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

There was a short, uncomfortable pause. Kyle spoke up.

"Hey. C'mere."

Kenny got up, and walked over. Kyle sat up, and gave him a soft hug. 

"I got some room on my bed, do you want to cuddle? I don't mind."

Kenny slightly nodded, and Kyle moved over, making some room. 

"Want to talk about it?"

"M-Maybe later. Thanks."

"Anytime." 

The two did wind up cuddling. Kyle stayed up until Kenny fell asleep. Right after Kenny fell asleep, Kyle was out cold.
