Jon sighed, getting comfortable in the big hoodie he wore. He was currently waiting for Arin, his best friend and crush.
"Hey Jon! What flavor do you want?" Arin called from the kitchen.
"Eh... Vanilla, just plain vanille." He murmured back, looking over the couch and shifting uncomfortably.
Soon his friend came out and set a bowl of vanilla ice cream on the table infront of the mic. Jon observed the bowl and saw that Arin had drizzled strawberry syrup on the frozen treat in a adorable heart shape.
"Dude, the fuck this is to cute to eat." Jon chuckled quietly and looked the the person hogging down ice cream beside him.
"I say the same thing about you everyday bro." Arin winked and snorted, falling into the normal intense and loud laughing fit.
Jon's face grew red and he grabbed the bowl, digging in, in a furious attempt to hide the fluster. Arin sat forward and turned on the SNES, the two of them watched the screen come up to 'Nickelodeon GUTS'. Jon smiled, he had loved this game as a kid.
"Oh BOY!" Arin said with sarcastic enthusiasm. "Look what we're playing Jon!" He shouted, being to start the recorder.
Jon giggled with excitement. "NICKELODEON GUTS! EEEEEEEEEEEE!" Jon laughed his way into a coughing fit which needed to be coaxed out by a solid pap or two on the back.
Arin wiped tears that Jon had'nt even noticed were there. "Dude, don't scare me like that." He smiled, rubbing his friend's back with a slightly shaking hand. Jon sighed and took another bite of the ice cream.
"Sorry I can't stay calm. You've SUGARED ME UP, ARIN. " he bellowed out to the other.
"Hah, Whatever. Let's get playing, dude." Arin grabbed the controllers and handed one to Jon.
----------------- TIME LAPSE ------------
Jon watched his friend whimper and sob in confusion and anger and just couldn't stop himself from chuckling and snorting.
"Dude just TELL ME! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LAND ON THE PLATFORM AND YOU DO. SO I JUST JUMP BACK AND FORTH AND I'M LOSING TIME!"
"B-but that'd give you an advantage! It's not fair, I ain't telling you!"Jon yelled back at the outraged man that sat beside him, about to break the paddle.
"HOW ISNT IT FAIR?" Arin screamed, throwing his arms out towards the screen. "WE'D BE EQUALS IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING TELL ME YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Arin growled and ran a hand through his hair then glanced at the younger man beside him.
Jon pouted and looked down, sniffling fakely and bringing his hands to his face, making whimpering noises. Arin gasped and bit his lip, pausing the game.
"Fuck, man I'm sorry I just-" he started, but was interupted by Danny poking in the room.
Danny walked over and leaned over the couch, grinning. "Aw dude, did you make him cry again?" He looked to Arin and raised an eyebrow.
"N-no! Well yes but I didn't mean to! I swear man!"
Arin rubbed Jon's back, panicked and worried.
Danny frowned and rolled his eyes. "Look, he's fine." Dan smacked Jon on the back of the head and watched him twitch and yelp in pain.
Jon looked up and wiped real tears from his eyes. He stood and glared at Danny. "You just have to ruin my life, dont you!?" He pushed past him and ran up the stairs. Arin watched in astonishment. He had never seen Jon actually that angry. Like, real anger.
"Dan, what was that for?" He stood up and walked to the stairs.
"Whatever, dude, look he's FINE." Dan glared back at Arin. Arin sighed and turned, walking up the stairs to check on his best friend.
Jon heard the knocking on the door and breathed in sharp cold air from the seemingly frozen room he stood in, fists clentched with crippling anger.
"Jon?" Arin whispered softly, getting an idea. "Please... I know youre in there...." Jon turned towards the door. He recognised that melody from the movie Frozen they had watched together. "Dan didn't mean it, as he's confessed..." Arin continued. "I'm so so sorry that he upset you, but i'm out here for you, please let me in!" His voice wavered with honest sadness. "You know you are my best friend, And I care about you- please just open the door...~" Jon swallowed and rubbed his eyes from wher he was sitting infront of the dooer to listen to his friends amazing singing. "Do you wanna be a game grump?"
The door slowly opened to a sadened face. Arin frowned and walked in, shuting the door and pulling his friend to the bed. He brought his hand to his cheek and looked into his big brown eyes.
"Jon, why are you so upset? I noticed you seemed.. Off for a few weeks." He watched Jon shift and look away.
"You know what, I have nothing to lose." He stated and looked up into Arin's eyes. "I love you Arin. I realized that when we went to that con. And the feelings I had when you were getting sick. It was indescribable. But then I knew, it was affection and i know you'll never feel the same-" his voice became frantic sobs and whimpers.
"I'm sorry i'm so stupid. I'll just leave." Jon began to stand but was pulled down. Arin looked into his eyes with a blazing passion.
"What are you?-" Jon looked confused.
Arin chuckled. "Shut up you idiot." He put his arms around Jon and pulled him into a warm kiss. When he pulled away, he saw the glimmer of happiness in his friends eyes.
"But, I thought-"
"Now that's dangerous." Arin smiled.
Jon chuckled and shook his head. "I've always wanted you to do that. And-" he stopped and sat forward, kissing Arin on the lips. "I've always wanted to do that."
The two of them looked at each other and a uneasy, romantic mood fell upon them. Arin took Jon's hand and rubbed the top. "You know he didn't-"
"Yes. I know. He has jealousy issues." Jon shrugged and smiled at the other. "So, Are we going to ignore the major kissing that just happened?" He watched Arin's eye's widen and he put his hand in his hair.
"Right! I forgot! I have something I wanna do."
"What is it?" Jon watched his friend stand in front of him.
"I'm gonna smother you with all this love I've got you cutie!" Arin yelled, Throwing himself onto Jon and landing on top of him. Jon laughed from under the other and looked up at him. "Arin, Please. I'm nothing special. Far from actually." He blinked and felt emotional for a second. "Jon, You are fucking adorable. I swear to god I will tickle you till you piss if you ever deny it." Arin looked at him as seriously as he could, putting his forehead to his friend's.
"Dude- You're making me sad by complimenting me. I shall express my distress if I feel like it."
"Oh really now?" Arin raised a eye brow and sat up, moving his hands to Jon's sides.
"Arin, I swear. Don't you fucking dare." Jon watched a sly grin spread on Arin's face. " ARIN. " Jon squealed loudly as Arin began moving his fingers against his sides. Laughter enveloped the large room. "Arin! Arin STOP! I CAN'T!" Jon wheezed and felt Arin's lips gently crash against him, if that was even possible. He looked up into the other's eye's whom had a small smile.
"I love you."
"I love you too. But you're still terrible at Nickelodeon GUTS."
