Right now ig I have time.I'm just not concentrated at all cz I'm angry asf. .Ugh. But I hope it's alright . It's a lil  filler . .

Chresanto was left sitting in thought . He got up with a slight huff. He wondered what Rayan meant by what he said . 

He was just about to walk out the room when he smacked into a shorter figure, causing them to fall.  He looked down seeing it was Jacob and quickly bent down to sit him up.

"Oh , Jake I'm so sorry   . I knocked you over so hard. Are you okay ?" He asked inspecting both of Jake's sides.

Jake laughed quietly. "I'm fine. Your mom told me to ask if you guys wanted to go to the movies. Where's Ray?" He looked around Chresanto.

"Oh Yes! 'Cause that movie The Maze Runner just came out and I bet it's it's gone be poppin!" He rubbed his hands together in excitement.

Jacob shook his head with a small laugh. "Oh, and Ray is in the bathroom." Chres added.

"Oh , Okay." Jake said and started to walk to the door of the bathroom but turned around . "By the way, what's The Maze Runner?" He asked.

Chresanto's eyes widened playfully. "Are you crazy?! They've been talking about this movie for like a year now. Where have you been?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed .

"Well.." Jake dragged out , gripping one hand in the other. "I was just somewhere not paying attention, I guess." He did a small chuckle scratching at his afro.

Chresanto smirked. "Well , Latimore is in it." He started grabbing clothes to wear.

Jake's eyes suddenly lit up as he let go of his fro. "You're kidding me,right?! W-what?! O-m-g , I am so ready now." He squealed clapping his hands.

Chresanto hadn't seen Jacob clap his hands like that when he got excited in a while. He smiled. "Alright, calm down. What you wearing?" He asked Jake as he grabbed the last of his clothing.

"I don't know. But I know sleeves, because it's cold in those theaters." He mentioned.

"You're right." Chresanto pointed out with a nod. He switched his plain black T with a long sleeved, dark blue, American Eagle shirt with brown patches on the elbow, to match his jeans and Timberlands.

Jake approved of his outfit with a smile. "I like it." He nodded. I bet I'll like it better on you, though . He thought.

He smirked at that thought. Even though he embraced the fact he was feeling Chres and that he was 'supposed' to, something also made him feel like he wasn't supposed to.

He always shook it off and mumbled an 'I'm ready' to reassure himself that this was a good choice and he was ready for it. Hopefully Chres wouldn't be weirded  out when the time came to tell.

During Jake's time of thought, Chresanto was staring at him. He kept catching himself doing this lately and he didn't understand why he couldn't stop. He knew he wasn't ready for those feelings to come back.

He thought about those unforgettable times.
"I love you Chressy." The person said holding him tight,head snuggled on his chest.
He rubbed circles in their back . "I love you too -"
