Secret Romantics

jealous

Nathan's POV

"Ayo Mark, you'll never believe who lives across from us." I say looking out the window. "Who?" Mark reply's. "Remember Jayden from high school? Well he lives over there." I point towards the house across the street.
"Shut the fuck up. For real? How do you know?" Mark exclaims, getting out of his seat in excitement. "I saw him enter the house just a couple minutes ago. He was wearing pjs so I'm assuming it's his."
"No way! We should go say hey to him. Maybe this time I'll actually get him to fall for me." He smirks. "Nah bro he clearly likes me better. Besides, he won't be able to get enough of me once he really gets to know me." 

After we got ready we headed to his house. Feeling a bit nervous meeting him again. We had each other's contact and everything but I never thought I'd see him in person again after what happened... My heart beats faster as we get closer towards the house.
I can tell that Mark is as nervous as me by the way he keeps brushing his hair every couple seconds. He always has to has his hair under perfect condition, especially if he's trying to attract someone. As the big brother, I usually like messing up his hair but not this time... I'm too concerned trying to figure what I should say when I see him again. We don't say a word to each other until we make it. "What should we say?" I stand here nervously. "Just knock on the door, it's not like we're meeting a celebrity."

"Fine." I knock on the door three times. A couple moments later I see the door open. And surely enough it's Jayden. He looks so much different from what I remember, in a good way though. "Mark? Nathan?! Hey, how's it been? Haven't seen you two in a while." He gives us a warm smile. "Hey! We're your new neighbors just across from you. We decided to come say hi and give you this fruit basket." I say giving him the fruit basket.

"Aww thanks!"

"We can't really stay though but you should come visit us some time so we can catch up." Mark says.

"Yeah of course. How bout tomorrow?" Jayden says.

"Sounds good."

"Mind if I come too?" Another voice comes from inside the house.

"Grayson?!" We both say in shocked.

What a turn of events. This was totally unexpected. Why is he here??!!! They NEVER talk.

"Sup you guys long time no see." He held his hand for us to shake. Which I did.

He firmly gripped to my hand hands which basically made me lose my balance.

"Hey..." Mark says awkwardly.

"Well I guess tomorrow it is." Jayden smiles.

"Yeah I guess tomorrow it is." I say.

"Well it was nice meeting you two again but we really should be going, we're really busy working on stuff..." Mark says.

"Nice seeing you guys too. Cya tomorrow." Jayden says as he closes the door.
...
"WHY THE FUCK WAS GRAYSON WITH HIM?!?" Mark panics.

The last time we saw Grayson was in high school too. We all went to high school together. Although they weren't a thing or anything, seeing Jayden get really happy and excited around Grayson always made us rage in jealousy.

"Shut up they can hear you!! Its not like they're dating or anything. Grayson is a straight dude."I say.
"Says who!?"
"Says his bajillion different girlfriends he had. Besides I look way better than Grayson."
"No way, he won't be able to handle my good looks."

*one day later*

Jayden's POV

"Hey are you coming?" I ask Grayson as I'm already ready to go.

"Nah I was just messing with them. You go ahead and be safe." he says.

"Okay dad." I joke as I leave the house. 

As I'm walking to their house I'm wondering if they're the same as I remember. Hopefully not, they used to be so immature and foolish. They always acted a bit strange around me. Not sure if it was in a good way or not, but that's how brothers are I guess.

I stand in front of their door and knock.
Mark opened the door abs greeted me in.

"Wait where is Grayson?" He asked.

"Oh he couldn't make it. He had other things to do."

"What a relief..." he whispered.

"What was that?" I ask

"Oh nothing!" He turns red.

I look around his house as he leads me towards the living. I sit on the sofa looking around the house. It's nice. Although there are many boxes with stuff still inside of them.

"Nice place." I say.

"Thanks, we loved the home as soon as me and my brother Nathan saw it. Oh that reminds me, I made a cake for you. I left it in the fridge. Let me get it." He runs to the kitchen.

"You made a cake for me?!?" I say to him though he got too far away for him to hear me.

"Psst... Jayden. Over here. Do you wanna see sumthin?"
