harry arrived at cal and cal's flat, happy to see the boys, but also excited to be meeting simon the next day.

"you don't mind if some friends come over later do you?" calfreezy asked, glancing away from the television and towards the smaller boy.

"of course not." harry said with a smile, although he was a bit nervous. meeting new people was never his forte.

"don't worry, there's only like three people coming over." lux told him, sensing the boy's nerves.

the thing is, with the two cal's you never know if a 'some friends' is two or ten. harry loved meeting their friends, but preferred to meet them in smaller groups.

roughly an hour later, three men in their early twenties emerged into the living room. harry looked up at the men from the sofa, then back at the two cal's, waiting for one of them to make the introductions.

"so guys this is harry." freezy said, pointing at the small boy as the others sat down. "and harry this is tobi, josh and simon."

harry let out a little chuckle at the name simon, but then got nervous again to meet him. obviously he knew he wasn't some old man, they'd spoken on the phone whilst playing games and he didn't sound old.

he was just worried he'd mess up or something. and that simon wouldn't send him letters anymore.

"what's so funny bog?" freezy asked, all the boys turning to harry for an answer.

"nothings funny, it's just the person i told you i was meeting tomorrow is called simon and lives with someone called josh." harry explained, causing butterflies to erupt through simon's stomach.

"haz?" simon asked, with his head tilted sideways. "it's so good to finally meet you!"
