birthday party (part 1)

-

brett hoped god never intended for eddy to be like this. 

his arms were tired from having them up above him to put party streamers above the dining room entrance. 

his house was decorated with more white and black streamers, hanging over lamp posts and doors. he had to have everything squeaky clean, to the point where bleach had stained his dark colored clothes. 

it was all eddy's fault.

"i hate this." brett exclaimed as he stood on his chair to reach the ceiling. he was too damn short to reach, which had eddy behind him snickering, peering from afar. 

eddy was pretty tall. he had a lot of height compared to the older musician, always making sure brett was kept in line about his shortness. 

"can't believe you dragged my mum into this." he nagged.

"it's because your mum happens to love me, and you need to have this party brett." eddy responded with a casual tone, making brett annoyed how all of this had seemed normal. eddy just couldn't let him be when it came to this.

his birthday was tomorrow and all he wanted to do was to lay back at home, hang out with his best friend, and just chill. he was never one to enjoy birthday parties or have them, he was fine with any ordinary day. 

eddy was the one who wanted those things to happen. brett knew eddy's parents didn't do much on celebrated days and that always made him sad. his best friend always wanted to do something like all the other kids.  so instead, he tried to make the best of situations with brett's opportunity to do them. 

brett sighed as he finished putting up the long paper and he stepped down from the chair. he gave a eddy a glare as he passed by to put the materials away. 

"i think my mum loves you more than she loves me." he grumbled. 

he shuffled to his couch and laid down, feeling tired from the working day. he could hear eddy behind him walking around. eddy responded,

"i just want you to have a great 15th birthday man. it's not every day that you get to have days like this."

brett hung his head, feeling guilty for complaining about his own birthday. he was always so used to being like that before eddy came into his life and now he's trying to appreciate what he has.

it's not that he hasn't before. it's just he's never really thought about it until his best friend showed him how grateful he should be with the things he was granted with.

eddy opened his eyes to many new things. it was comforting.

"sorry." brett apologized.

"it's okay." the other answered.

they both sat in silence. indulging the presence of one another, while brett was fumbling with hands. it wasn't awkward. it just felt that more needed to be said, but he didn't know exactly what.

eddy decided to break the ice.

"how about i give you your present already. i'm so excited for you to see it." and just like that, the last conversation was forgotten.

brett laughed at eddy's comment, he didn't think eddy actually got him anything. eddy never had the money or time to give his best friend something, usually always made him something out of scratch which then fell apart moments after.
