sebastián & keaton - love

a/n: thanks once again to RamenIsDaBest for helping me with some of it I think I started this back in like June 2019 at the very latest and I kept putting it off so I've just been powering through it this past week and I'm proud (also I'm a sucker for nicknames, if y'all couldn't already tell)

When your best friend has just been broken up with by his three-year girlfriend that he's been completely in love with since the eighth grade, you shouldn't really be happy that he's coming over to spend the weekend with you when your parents aren't home.

Keaton Cody, however, does not feel bad about feeling this way at all. The tall freckled boy could honestly care less. He knows Sebastián Aguirre well, he has since their second-grade sleepover at the aquarium for boy scouts. He's known Sebastián through all his dates with all those stupid girls, and if he remembers correctly, every single time they've broken up with him over some obscure reason, and every single time he's found a one night stand to use as a rebound. And it's entirely possible that the redhead's so high up in the clouds that he's completely overlooking the fact that his best friend is completely heterosexual, but Keaton Cody is ready to be with his best friend. He doesn't care if it lasts, he doesn't care if it's worthless to Sebastián, all he wants is one chance to sleep with the boy he's had a crush on since second grade.

Keaton is kicking his legs against the side of his bed, lost deep in these thoughts when he hears the doorbell ring. He scrambles out of his room, nearly clocking his head on the doorframe on his way out of his room in his bouncy excitement. He nearly trips and falls and dies on the stairs but doesn't, which he finds to be a personal accomplishment at this moment. He takes a deep breath and puts on his best shoulder to cry on face, opening the door for his tear-stained best friend. Sebastián drops his stuff on the porch and hugs Keaton tightly, already beginning to cry again. Mr. Ginger-Freckles-Tall-Boi hugs back, rubbing the Barbadian-American boy's back to try and calm him down. Sebastián pulls away and wipes his face after a minute or two, picking his stuff back up and patting Keaton's shoulder on his way inside.

Sebastián leads the way he knows so well up to Keaton's bedroom, setting his stuff down by the closet. He smiles some at the familiar safety he has always felt in this room with its candy wrappers and clothes littering the edges on the floor, as well as the basketball and band posters crookedly stapled to the walls. The dark haired boy sighs softly as he sits and leans back against the side of Keaton's bed, watching the trees outside the window on the opposite wall sway in the breeze.

The redheaded joins him, unbothered when Sebastián rests his spiky-haired head on his shoulder. He wraps his arm around his heartbroken friend and they both just stare out the window in silence for a good long time. Soon Sebastián begins to cry again and Keaton turns to hug him. The bronze-skinned boy's body is shaking with his mournful sobs, and all Keaton can do is let him cry it out. His skinny twig arms are somehow comforting to Sebastián, the heavy breathing and choking sobs slow to a cease after a while, and Keaton offers to make dinner.

"What are you going to make, Mac n Cheese?" Sebastián asks with a small smile as he stands up, bringing a blush from his best friend.

"I thought you liked Mac n Cheese...." Keaton says quietly, confused and embarrassed.

Sebastián's smile grew as he offered his friend a hand up.

"Of course I do."

A hiss comes from the saucepan and Keaton jumps back over to the stove, blowing on the cooking pasta frantically. He sighs, paying attention to stirring it this time and not watching Sebastián play whatever it was he was playing on his phone. After a few more minutes he finishes the Mac n cheese and divides it into two bowls.
