"If you won't date Archie, I will. I don't give a fuck if he's a guy. He has a car and buys you food." Jay moaned as he ate his chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

"Thanks for the compliment... I think?" Archie laughed.

"Do you guys think I'm overreacting about Jasmine. I mean if someone says no, no means no and you have to respect that. But I'm not mad because she said no, I'm mad about how she said it. And I have a right to be don't I? Especially because we have been friends for a while and as my friend, she shouldn't have been so rude or let her friends talk shit about me." He explained in between spoonfuls.

"I agree. But I don't think you should have butted in." Archie sighed, gesturing towards the raven haired beauty.

"I did not have the time to stand there and listen to her spew bullshit. Someone had to do something. Not that you were not handling it well, but you were too nice." He waved off, gesturing back to Jay.

"I don't mean to be sappy or anything. But I'm glad that, you know..." Jay began.

"Aww is this about to be cute? Where's my phone?" Archie asked excitedly.

"You're my brother and all and that you actually wanted to start talking to me more." He finished quickly.

"I am glad that you have accepted me no matter what, even before we became closer. You do not ask questions or judge me so I appreciate that." Nameless shrugged, not trying to make a big deal out of it but Archie started gushing and made the whole thing awkward.

"Sorry, sorry. This is beautiful. I wish I had a younger sibling." Archie sighed longingly.

"No you don't." Jay sighed. "They whine and complain and look up to you when you don't want them too."

"Well, you are not so bad." Nameless pointed out.

"That is only because I am mature for my age."

"Eh, you probably do a bunch of stupid immature stuff when no one is looking." Archie assumed.

"Um not really. I know every single word to every Britney Spears song ever made. Does that count?"

"I don't believe you. I'd have to test this out." Archie smirked.

"Can we not draw attention to ourselves in public?" Nameless sighed.

"You're no fun." Jay and Archie both said at the same time.

"Do not team against me. Cut that out."

"Now you know how it feels." Archie smiled before high fiving Jay.

The sound of No name's Tv buzzed through the air, serving as background noise to the mindless chatter from the two cuddled up on the bed.

"But if we're all going to die anyways, why not?" The redhead yawned as he held the raven haired beauty in his arms.

"Archie, that excuse can be applied to anything. What is your point?"

"No one has ever really died from smoking weed."

"I am not smoking weed. Ever."

"Okay then what would you do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like would you drink alcohol, do drugs, etc."

"Why are we even talking about this?"

"I don't know. I feel like I would drink alcohol occasionally but I wouldn't smoke. I wouldn't do drugs either."

"The only thing I would ever try would probably be those edibles where they mix marijuana into brownies and other foods."

"Seriously?" Archie asked with a surprised smile.

"Yes. Only because I would want to experience the feeling at least once. I would only do it where I can buy it legally though so I know it is not laced with anything."

"I think it's legal in California if you're over a certain age. They have Gummy Bears and Cakes and all sorts of fancy stuff." Archie pointed out.

"I am never going back to California." Nameless groaned.

"Back to?" Archie furrowed his eyebrows.

"I meant that I am never going to California period." He mumbled, but for some reason Archie just knew he was lying.

"You're lying. You went to California?" Archie pried.

"Can you drop this please? I do not want to speak of it."

"Did something bad happen in California?"

"Archie."

"Did you grow up in California?"

Nameless didn't say anything. He unwrapped Archie's arms from around him and turned away from him, reaching over to turn off the light on his nightstand. The room went dark except from the soft glow of the television that suddenly became the only noise buzzing throughout the room.

"Can you stay over tonight?"

"Is this your way of distracting me?" Archie sighed.

Nameless turned back around to face him. "Yes."

"It's a good distraction." Archie sighed before pulling him into his arms again.

"I know."

"Will we ever talk about California?"

"When I am ready."

"Do you not trust me? Did I do anything not to make you trust me?" Archie mumbled.

"It is not that I can not trust you, because I do. I just do not want to worry you unnecessarily."

"I'm always worried about you."

"Then my goal is not to worry you more."

I think I'm going to double update today and double update tmr because I won't be able to update next week. I have so much going on but then after next week is spring break so you can expect a lot of updates. UGH I feel so bad but I'm going to try to hand in all of my late assignments before spring break because I'm half way through the marking period and soooooo far behind. Mostly my late assignments are just physics because I never finish labs in class and then I forget to finish the full write ups. Ugh I hate science. Especially AP science.

Also I'm starting to really appreciate tumblr lately. I post things and they for some reason start to get 100s of notes out of nowhere it's so strange.
