chapter 5: spaced out

The morning sun peeked through the curtains covering the windows, Julian and DingDong remained peacefully sleeping on the couch, the TV repeating the same menu music from the movie they watched last night. Julian slowly opened his eyes, he noticed he wasn't in his room, he wasn't in his bed; he wasn't by himself. Lifting his head a little, Julian could feel a smooth object leaning against him.

DingDong was awoken by a sudden movement, he raised his head and looked down at what he was leaning on. DingDong was greeted by a very red-faced Julian, followed by a lot of apologising and stuttering. Julian looked down at his hands in his lap, he seemed really embarrassed. DingDong didn't exactly know what to do, without thinking he lifted Julian's chin to look at him, but this made Julian blush even more. "Julian, please, it's fine." Julian stared wide-eyed, his eyes glazed over like he was spacing out or something; his eyelids lowered slowly and he began leaning in, DingDong was hesitant at first but started leaning in too. They were centimetres apart until a loud knock interrupted them, snapping them both back to reality and darting their gazes towards the door. "Hide." Julian whisper-yelled, DingDong looked confused and startled, "What?"
"Hide!"

Julian grabbed DingDong's arm and pulled him into his room, "Quick, hide in here." He spoke in a rushed manner, pushing DingDong into his closet. "Julian, w-" DingDong was cut off by Julian shutting the closet door, DingDong sat in the closet in silence, bewildered. Another door click could be heard from inside the small space, DingDong assumed it was the bedroom door. Voices could now be heard in the next room.

Julian rushed out of his room and shut it behind him, he quickly made his way to the door and looked through the eyehole near the top of the door, it was Chris.
————————
this is where i'd explain who chris is, but i know most of you would already know who he is so there's no point.

Julian sighed, thankful that it wasn't a police officer or something. He opened the door and greeted him, "Hello, stinky man," Chris spoke in one of his usual silly voices but then switched back to his normal voice, "You left one of your games at my place." He stated, handing it to Julian. "Oh, thanks." Julian laughed, taking the game from him. Chris spoke again, "Hey, did you hear about that crash the other night? Apparently it was like, right in front of your apartment block. But I did say 'apparently' and we can't always trust the news." He laughed, but Julian on the other hand had a look that said, 'well fuck.' He manage to force a little laugh though, to keep from looking too suspicious. "Shit, really?" Julian said, faking a surprised tone. "Yes, really! What, you think I was just gonna show up and tell you that a UFO crashed outside your apartment??" Julian stayed silent for a second, "But, that is what you said." Chris furrowed his brow, like he was trying to remember exactly what he had said, "..."
"Shut up."

Julian wheezed and Chris laughed along with him, once they were both done talking and saying goodbye, Julian shut the door and rushed back to the room DingDong was in. He swung open the closet door and apologised for shoving DD in there without any warning at all. "So who was it?" DingDong inquired, Julian looked confused. "What?"
"The guy at the door!" DingDong yelled, laughing slightly.
"Oh, right. That was my friend, Chris. He dropped by to return a game." Julian explained. DingDong glanced at the cover.
"You wanna play?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
