My New Step-Brother (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 6

Devon's POV

"Really? Just like that? Dude, that's awesome!" I exclaimed in excitement, referring to the story that Benji just told me from school.

"Yeah, and the teacher's face was priceless! He seemed so confused and me and the gang were almost literally rolling on the floor laughing. It was great!" Benji gasped, through his laughter. Him and I are currently in the backseat of dad's car on our way to our new home with Benji and Kate.

"I bet! Did you guys get detention?" I asked, trying to muffle my giggles.

"No! The teacher loves us!" Benji managed, whilst trying to calm his breathing.

"Jesus! Are you boys alright back there, or do I have to drop you off at the emergency room!?" Dad complained from behind the wheel.

"Drop off? What is that supposed to mean?" Benji pouted, his eyebrows furrowing in the cutest way.

Cutest way?

Whatever, I guess.

"Yeah, I'm not going to sit for hours in a damn emergency room. I have more important things to do than waste my time on your asses." Dad grumbled, but the amused smirk on his face said that he was enjoying this just as much as we are.

We finally reached it to our new home, deciding to park the truck which contains dads and my belongings in the garage. It's late, and we are all tired.

I look over at Benji to see that he is still standing as if he is hyper as ever. He catches me staring and makes a funny face, causing me to erupt into a fit of giggles.

I never giggle, what the hell was that?

Ignoring it, we all walked inside and found a note from Kate on the table.

I waited up for you boys but I was too tired so I eventually went up to bed. Dinner is in the fridge if you want it.

Love all of you!
-Mom

Seeing the signature at the bottom made a smile break onto my face. Mom. It feels so foreign to me, but I love it all the same.

"I'm not that hungry. We did eat a late lunch." I stated, watching as dad opened the fridge. Typical..

"Then you can go up to bed. I'll see you in the morning before I go to work, okay?" Dad asked, giving me a tight hug.

"Okay. Good night." I said rather drowsily, heading up the stairs with Benji right behind me.

"Hey, do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Benji asked, walking past me to stand in front of his door with an expectant expression. Something about Benji makes me enjoy his company. I'm usually not great at making friends so this is all new to me. I nod, with a smile; unable to deny his offer.

"Sure. Let me change out if these damn jeans and I'll go into your room. You can pick something out, I don't mind." I answered. Benji agreed so I went into my room, taking off my clothes and changing into a pair of red basketball shorts and a tight white tanktop. I walk back into the hall, almost running into dad.

"Hey. I thought you were going to bed?" Dad stated, although it sounded more like a question.

"Yeah, well Benji and I are going to watch a movie first." I answered. Dad smiled, and leaned against the wall.

"Oh really? See, Devon I told you that he's a great kid. You guys will get along great. I can already tell. Well have fun, I'm going to sleep." Dad kissed my head gently and walked into his shared room with Kate. I turn and go into Benji's room. The light is on and he is sitting on the floor by his tv looking at the rack of DVDs he has.
