Painfully Evicted (boy x boy)

3.) Pasta

Milos POV

I wake up, not immediately recognizing where I was. Panic settles in right before I remember the events of the night before. Wait. Shit.

I scurry to my phone, tapping the home button to turn it on, checking the time.

1:42?! How long did I sleep?!

I stand up, grabbing my phone quickly and walking out to the living room.

"JASPER. WERE REALLY FUCKING LATE." I yell at the top of my lungs and he laughs, holding his stomach while sitting on the couch.

"Mi, calm down," he says. "I figured you could take today off and sleep in. You were up pretty late last night," he says, catching his breath and patting the couch next to him.
I sigh, flipping him off and sitting next to him.

"that's not very nice you actual 4-year-old," he says, biting the corner of his mouth to keep from laughing at me. I playfully hit him and laugh lightly.

"I'm older than you!" I say, sending me and Jasper into a laughing fit.

"yeah, and? Who said I'm not a four-year-old as well?" He comments, poking my cheek before standing up and stretching. "I'm sure you're hungry." he walks into the medium kitchen that is connected to the living room. It's kinda just one room split in half. "I don't really have much though..." He deadpans, opening the fridge and looking around. "is pasta ok?" he asks and I nod, standing up.

A couple of years ago we both went through a cooking phase, and we used to cook together while dancing.

Seems safe. I know.

But I wasnt having the best week so I figured we could make an exception.

I quickly track down our old Spotify playlist and tap the shuffle button. Jasper knew exactly what was happening because, with a smirk on his face, he started singing along to the song "There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet" by panic! At the disco. I completely forgot that our cooking phase collided with our emo phase.

We got out all the ingredients and fill the pot with water, finding a recipe online for alfredo sauce since that's what we decided on. By the time we did all of that, the chorus was on.

"everything goes according to plan..." we quiet down and wait for a moment before shouting, "I'm the new cancer, never looked better!" I quiet down while listening to Jasper.

I have to be honest, the guy's voice was amazing. That's part of the reason he was so good at getting hookups. Girls love his voice. He used to sing to calm me down but I guess he stopped out of embarrassment or something.

I miss that.

"When did you get all confident? Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?" He sings and I smile. The water was boiling so instead of watching, he grabbed my hands and started swinging them around and twirling.

I miss dancing around and cooking.

"really? Me too! We'll have to do it more." a blush invades my face as jasper laughs. I guess I said that out loud? At least he agrees.

***

"This pasta sucks," I comment, laughing. It was weirdly dry? Who the hell knows how we accomplished that.

"agreed." he shakes his head and chuckles. It wasn't inedible. Just not good.

"We probably should have focused on the food instead if early 2000s emo music." I joke, lightly elbowing his arm. He shakes his head and signals for me to let him finish chewing.

"Hell no! That was the most fun I've had since I moved in!" I laugh and quiet down, taking another bite.

"Thanks for actually letting me in last night." I laugh awkwardly. " I was kinda delirious." he shakes his head.

"Anyone would be." he gives me a sympathetic smile and tilts his head. "Listen." he sighs, laying his hand in my knee. A deep red color flushes my face. "If they were willing to kick you out after 17 years, they weren't fit to be parents." I nod and take a bite.

"so don't worry. I'll be your daddy."

CHOKE-

"That's not what I meant!-" I swallow and cough a few times, leading into a massive laughing fit. Jasper chuckles some too.

" I swear! I wasn't thinking about context!" I start laughing more, holding my stomach.

"oh...my God..." I say in between laughs and gasps for air. "you-your...face was g...great." he shakes his head, laughing.

Jasper really does know how to lift the mood, even if it's on accident.

***

After eating and...choking.

On pasta.

we decided to watch some dumb nick cage movie on Jaspers laptop. So far it was pretty bad, but that's what makes it good, right?

I enjoyed being able to spend the day with Jasper. I'd have to go back to school tomorrow but I am kinda living with him right now so we could do stuff like this often.

Next thing I know, I go from deep in thought to sleep on the floor, right next to my best friend.

I'm sorry this chapter was a little shorter. It was originally not supposed to have that whole daddy dilemma in it but I saw an opportunity and I took it.

Also yes, I laughed for a good five minutes after coming up with this. I'm fucking hilarious.

Anyways, new chapter coming soon, but until then...um...bye 😂
