I get pulled by the shoulder and lead upstairs. I enter a room full of color. From black to red to yellow and lots more. "It's a literal rainbow in here!" I say with amusement. Zach lays down onto his bed, "Well I do take pride in my work" he says with a sound of relief.
I place my bag next to the corner of the bed and then scan the room. There were artworks, photos, posters, and articles placed all over the room. It was a beauty, it was Zach's personality portrayed onto this very room. The room gave me an emotional boost.
I looked at the things on the walls to the things on the ceiling. While I did that Zach cleaned up his closet.
A set of pictures, a set of pictures that were colored and black and white caught the corner of my eye. The pictures were stuck next to the window and created a scene. I moved closer to the pictures and it was a lady. She seemed like she was 25 and was really pretty looking.
"Zach? Mind me asking as to who this is?", I turn towards Zach and he looks at me. His expression changed quick, it changed from happy to sad, it showed concern.
"That's my aunt..." He said in a subtle voice. I noticed the expression change on his face and walked toward him. " Stop cleaning up! Why don't we play something before we have to get ready for this "meet-up"?" I say in a joyful voice trying to change the expression on Zach's face.
Zach pauses and looks at me as he picks up clothing of his from the floor. I smile widely when he looks at me and he then let's go of the shirt he was holding on to. He stretches his back and replies back, "Yes, I don't even want to clean up this needy piece of shit!"
I smile at Zach while he runs out of the bedroom and heads downstairs. I slowly sit on the bed and stare at the pictures until Zach comes back.
It was a sequence of pictures. Different shirts, different poses, different locations but both Zach and his Aunt were in every picture but one. A green, glistening box laid under the pictures that had a lining of gems on it.
"Okay!" I quickly turn my attention to the door. "I-I got so-some games tha-hat we can play!" Zach says while slowly walking toward me out of breath.
He places the games on the bed and we begin with Exploding Kittens.
