"Hey Everett, let's go out today" I say sitting down on my bed.

"Where?"

"Weeeell... the hobby shop" I say with a smirk.

"Haha, Okay but seriously, where?"

I chuckle before responding.

"I have some stuff I need to check out" I say pulling out a hair brush and holding my phone between my ear and my shoulder so I can use both hands to brush my hair.

"Do it yourself"

"Ohhh. Don't you want to spend time with me?" I ask faking sadness, being careful not to drop my phone.

"I'm not that desperate"

"Please" I plead, pushing out my bottom lip even though he can't see me.

"No"

"Come on, we can do something else afterwards" I negotiate.

"Why do you love pissing me off so much?"

"Because it's so easy, I'll see you there in thirty minutes?" I ask dropping my hairbrush and putting on my jacket.

"Fine, but you better be quick"

"Will do. I'll see you there darling!" I say hanging up happily.

Once we meet outside the hobby shop Everett is unnaturally quiet.

"Are you okay Everett?" I ask concerned and he nods.

"Yeah..." he responds and he is weirdly holding his breath.

"Are you sure, you look a little pale" I say worriedly and he looks away from me.

"I'm *hic* Fine- oh fuck" he mumbles and I laugh.

"That's it? Why didn't you just tell me you had the hiccups?" I ask as we enter the hobby shop.

"I thought they'd go away if I ignored them- *hic*" he says and I chuckle.

"That doesn't seem to be working for you" I say and Everett sighs annoyed.

"Fuck today" Everett mumbles and Jeremy notices we are here.

"You are back again?" Jeremy asks Everett who sighs again.

"Fuck today. *hic* hard." Everett says and Jeremy raises an eyebrow.

"You've got hiccups?" Jeremy asks and I look over to him.

"Hey, you know random shit. Do you know anything about how to get rid of hiccups?" I ask curiously and Everett grabs my arm.

"Nope. We don't need his help" Everett says and I roll my eyes.

"Haha. That's cute. But I am gonna go crazy if you are doing this the whole time" I say genuinely annoyed.

"So. With that in mind. Can you help us, Sunshine?" I ask putting on my best puppy eyes.

"Okay, Fine.... first the classics..."

Like half an hour later

"So we've ticked off drinking through a paper towel, Jump scare videos, drinking water up side down and holding your breath, doing a handstand and nothing's fucking working." I say sitting down on the counter of the shop.

"You're really helpful- *hic*" Everett Says as Jeremy walks off to get something and I roll my eyes.

"Thanks Darl'" I say sarcastically.

"You are the worst" Everett tells me and I laugh.

"Well you're hardly a walk in the park either." I return and Jeremy comes back holding a bottle.
