I woke up this morning, the sun was shining down on me and Hugh, he looked so cute as he slept. I began to play with his hair and then boop his nose.  He scrunched up his face and groaned, I giggled when he kissed my forehead and then turned away from me. "Cute." I mumbled, I then yawned and rubbed my eyes with my balled up hands. 

"Hey..." I heard a voice say, I looked away from Hugh, at Brendan, who was folding his arms, leaning against the door frame of my room. I slightly smiled and sat up. "Hey..." I folded my arms after scratching the back of my head. 

"Is it okay if we...talk...?" I nodded. "In private...?" I nodded, I took the blankets off from me and then got out from bed. I walked towards Brendan. He looked me up and down,  I was wearing one of Hugh's t-shirts. It pooled down to my knees. 

"My eyes are up here!!" I quietly growled at him, making sure that Hugh didn't wake up. He looked up at me and gulped, mumbling a "sorry" to me. "It's fine. Let's just go outside and talk!!" I grabbed his hand, intertwining my fingers with his. I led him out bad, to the back porch, through the door in the kitchen. 

We sat at some benches out back, Brendan pulled out some bags and handed them to me. "What's this...?" I asked, opening the bags and pulling the t-shirts out, that I wanted from the Friends store. "Aweee....Brendan!!" I smiled and looked up at him, he gave me a slight smile. "I felt bad for what I did...so...I did as you said so I bought the shirts..." I nodded and thanked him. Brendan looked unhappy, I asked him if he was okay and he looked down at his lap, where he was playing with the tips of his fingers. 

"Brendan...?" I asked again, he began to cry, the tears that were setting at the brim of his eyes, fell. "I'm sorry...I-I didn't mean to hurt you...I didn't want you to get hurt....I saw a nice lady who talked to me first and I talked back...." he sobbed, I pouted and got up, walking towards him and sitting down next to him. 

"Please don't cry..." I placed my hands on his shoulders and ran my hand up and down his back. "Brendan...I'm okay...pleeeaaasseee!!" I begged and then rested my head on his shoulder. "Baby boy...." I whined. I've never called him that...well...only when I wanna make him laugh. I smirked and then sat up, I grabbed Brendan's cheeks and then gently pinched them, pulling them away and then squishing them back together. "Baaabbyyy boooyy!!! My baby boy!! Smile for me baby boy!!" Brendan sniffled and whipped his eyes with the palms of his hands. 

"Awee...." I pouted and began to poke Brendan's sides and all over his body. He flinched and began to attempt to push my hands away but didn't work. He smiled and began to bust out laughing. I smiled and began to giggle along. He was now sitting sideways on the bench while I tickled him, I was sitting in between his legs, pocking and prodding at him. 

My legs were pulled up to my chest, tucked under the shirt I was wearing. Hugh was watching us, from the window above the sink, in the kitchen. He was smiling while folding his arms. Brendan's arms were wrapped around me, he was tickling me back. I squirmed and squealed in his lap. My back was now facing him, my legs laying out in front of me. 

Hugh's other friends ended up staying here so they all came towards Hugh and looked out the window, smiling and folding their arms too while watching us. 

"Brendan..." I ended up breaking the silence between us. He hummed. "I love you, your my bestest friend!! I'm glad you're in my life!!" he smiled and said the same thing back. "You're fine. Okay? I'm not mad at you, I was only scared and disappointed in you. But I could never stay mad at you!!" he nodded and kissed my head. 

For a little while longer, me and Brendan stayed here, just sat here and held hands as we looked all around ourselves and enjoyed this peaceful morning. We were so happy, we both felt like we were on cloud 9...in a non...sexual...way.
