Enjoy :)
After school today, Simon and I had some errands to run. Since all of our packages came, we decided that we'd wrap them together, and I still need to do last minute shopping for my friends.
We went to Walmart, he got the wrapping paper, bows and name tags, and I went to get some things for my friends. I got Gladis a new Bluetooth speaker since she's been complaining about the one she has now, which really doesn't work all that well. I got Alex a curvy made to move Barbie because for whatever reason he told me he wanted one, and I got my other friends some fun socks.
After a while, I went to go find Simon who, with a cart full of different wrapping papers and bows and such, was over by the mens "hair" supplies, "I think I'm gonna get Jerome some beard oil." Simon said to me while being purely focused on finding the right one, "Uha ok, you do that." I said and grabbed the cart from him, "I'll be at the checkout." I said and left. Eventually, he came to the checkout, with what looked like a beard trimming set instead of a simple little beard oil.
We got everything into the car and left. We stopped at Starbucks and got a little something, I got a coffee and Simon got a hot chocolate. We quietly sipped our drinks and listened to some quiet radio. "Do you think he still loves me?" Simon quietly mumbled, "What?" I asked him, almost choking on the hot drink in my mouth, "Jerome, do you think he still loves me?" he said again, "Simon, hun, I'm beyond the word of "sure" that he loves you, and why would you even think that?" I asked him like it was the dumbest thing I ever heard, "I dunno." he said quietly and didn't say anything else.
Not gonna lie, but I actually don't think that monster has any real feelings for my brother, they've broken up so many times, and it was really Jerome leaving him for some girl, and then Simon would basically break down and get extremely depressed for until Jerome breaks up with her and they get back together. Sad thing is, Simon will always take him back, no matter what. I honestly think he's just using him.
We get home to an empty house, dad must be at a friends house or something. Simon and I bring everything up to my room. We took a little break for a few minutes, and then we started wrapping our presents for people, having a great time, listening to some quiet Christmas music on my phone. We were having fun, happily chatting about random things, and even though Simon has a boyfriend, we still like to talk about boys together. It was fun.
Once we finished, put the presents in our room and put some under the tree. It was really late already, and dad must've gotten home sometime then since the light in his office room was on. I said goodnight to Simon, who was probably going to go text Jerome all night, and I went to my own room and crawled into bed, texted my friends for a bit, and then fell asleep.

General FictionIt's exactly as the title sounds. I'm just doing this for fun, but I will be focusing on these characters and this family. Some rules I've kinda made for myself is that I have to already include the prompt word or a word similar to it at least once...
