Hazy Love: A Treebros Fic

Chapter 17: The Misadventures of High Connor

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter!! This is just a fun, funny (hopefully) chapter to keep y'all over because the next few chapters will be really big. Sorry again for the long delay, my confidence is doing much better now, and mentally I'm feeling better, but I just came down with Strep Throat and a Sinus Infection, so that's fun. Enough of me bitching, enjoy some gay! <3

Connor and Evan stayed like that, in each other's arms, neither wanting to get up. That was, until they heard the click of a phone camera.

Evan sat bolt upright, Connor just giggling and staring at the boy. Evan wanted to sink into the floor. To his dismay, yet slight pleasure, Connor began to pepper his faces with gentle kisses, while Zoe snickered lightly.

It was when Connor kissed Evan, straight on the lips, that things went to shit.

Evan nearly gagged, Connor's lips tasting like smoke. He pulled away quickly, sputtering a bit while Connor pouted.

"You're no fun." Connor laughed, but suddenly stopped, staring blankly ahead. Evan made to move closer, placing his hand on Connor's cheek, praying that it wasn't sweaty. He nearly fainted when Connor suddenly burst into laughter.

"C-Connor, why d-did you taste l-like s-smoke? And... paper?" Evan questioned, still trying to calm down from Connor's abrupt laughter. Connor have him a blank stare.

"I'm literally so fucking high right now, you don't even KNOW, Tree Dork." Connor laughed at his own joke, while Evan looked horrified.

"C-Connor!! T-that's not g-good! We- we have t-to go h-home. Please, y-you can stay a-at my p-place t-tonight. P-please?" Evan pleaded, giving Connor a slight pouty-face.

Connor just watched Evan's face blankly, not making any movement or reaction. After a few seconds that seemed like hours to the small boy, Connor slowly nodded his head, getting up, nearly falling over in the process.

Zoe emerged, slowly, as not to anger her brother. Surprisingly, Connor gave her a small smile. She shrugged, laughing a bit. Maybe things could be okay.

Zoe drove the Murphy sibling's car down the winding country road, waves of nostalgia rushing through her as she smiled to herself. Connor and Evan were in the back, Connor sleeping, his head in Evan's lap and legs up on the seat whilst Evan played absentmindedly with strands of his hair.

Luckily, by time they had gotten to the cars, Connor was too busy clinging to Evan to pay attention to his parents. Evan cringed to think what might've happened for he HAD.

Zoe explained the situation to her parents, who agreed that it would be best for Connor to stay with Evan for the night. Evan had gotten Connor to stop clinging just long enough to give his mother a text.

Of course, Heidi said yes, incredibly happy that her son had a friend.

And so, it was off to the Hansen household with a high, bruised, and bleeding Connor Murphy...

Oh no...
