April 2002 Saturday

  Chris had been calling Jonny on the phone since early morning and only did he pick up at 8 AM. He sounded groggy as he said, "What the hell Chris." Chris said, "Sorry, I've called you so many times. I just feel awful for what I did. I was way too defensive, I talked to her, I told her I did it to throw off accusations." 

   Jonny asked, "Did you tell her what the accusations were?" Chris said, "No but, I really just don't want to leave things between us like this." Jonny mumbled, "Fine whatever, I forgive you." Chris smiled and said, "Alright, wanna hang out?" 

  Jonny said, "Sure, where?" Chris said, "We could go to my house, I was gonna make breakfast soon anyway." Jonny said, "Alright. See you in an hour." Jonny hung up the phone before he went to get dressed. Jonny wasn't sure if he fully forgave Chris.

   He wanted to go back to how it was a few weeks ago but, he knew every strong relationship had arguments. His parents even argued but, his parents are divorced.

 Eventually, Chris heard a knock on the door. He greeted Jonny with a hug. Chris repeated, "I'm so sorry, that was so stupid of me."

   Jonny sighed and pulled back from the hug. "It's fine, we all do foolish things. I probably would've done the same if people actually recognized me in public," Jonny said.

  Chris shook his head, "Nah you are too good for that. I made waffles. Do you want some?" Jonny nodded and Chris pulled them out of the toaster. He passed the plate to Jonny. Jonny asked, "Do you have syrup." Chris opened his fridge, "No.." 

  Jonny shrugged, "That's fine." Chris nodded and sat next to him and he began to eat. Jonny said, "I think I overreacted too... We had only been on like two dates." Chris chuckled, "So you don't count knowing you since 1996 towards our date count?" Jonny laughed, "Those weren't real dates." Chris smiled, "That's not what I'd tell myself." 

  Jonny rolled his eyes as he finished eating. Chris took the plates and dropped them in the sink. Jonny asked, "What do you wanna do?" Chris shrugged, "We could watch television." Jonny nodded, "Sure." Chris walked over to his couch and picked up the remote. He turned on the television and scrolled through the channels. 

Jonny soon sat next to him. He put his arm around Jonny as they began to watch television. Jonny looked over at him and Chris turned his head towards Jonny. Jonny kissed Chris quickly before pulling back. 

  Chris breathed unevenly for a few seconds and pulled Jonny close to kiss him again. Jonny kissed Chris' neck leaving marks. Jonny ran his fingers down the marks and chuckled to himself quietly. 

  They stayed this close enjoying the lack of distance between them for a few more seconds before Chris turned back to watch the television. Jonny's face was bright red as he stared down at the floor. 

'Every relationship has their arguments, isn't that what makes them stronger', Chris had thought to himself.
