♡ Training Wheels ♡ | Nina Sofia

I.

It was cold windy summer night and two 17 years old boys were walking down the street laughing. Those two boys were Ethan and Kai. Ethan was a pale boy with large light-purple eyes. He had short  hair of the lighest shade of blond. He was wearing a dark long t-shirt with white shirt under it, so the sleeves were white. His adorable look represented his personality very well. Ethan was a very shy boy that didn't enjoy socializing very much. He only talked to his closest friends and never was the one to make the first move. So basically total opposite of Kai. Kai, unlike Ethan, had dark skin and dark red hair. His hair were pretty long and he had them usually in a ponytail. He wore dark circle sunglasses to hide his flaming red eyes. Because he didn't want to wait any longer, after the school ended and came home, he called Kai right away if he could come hang out. That was also the reason he was still in the school uniform. Kai was really attractive and sometimes groups of girls were running after him. Maybe other guys would love this, he disliked it. He loved to stick with his childhood best friend Kai. They knew each other since kindergarten and never argued. Their biggest arguement had when they were both 6 and wanted to  choose pizza in "Pizza Bar" and one of them wanted cheese pizza and the other wanted Pepperoni pizza. The problem was sold when the cashier said there is cheese on pepperoni pizza so, it's the same as cheese pizza just with pepperoni on. Since that day they never fought again and everytime they came to the Pizza bar they always had pepperoni pizza.

"T-That was hilarious!" giggled Ethan.

"Heh... I know right?" replied Kai.

"Hey, What about we meet in the Pizza Bar tomorrow?" 

"Sure, Pepperoni Pizza, 2PM?"

"Yep."

"Fine, See ya there then!"

"Yea, Byeee!!"

After they finished their conversation,they both made their own way to their houses. As soon as Ethan came home, he went to his room and took his phone. 

'New Message from: Kai <3'

Ethan smiled and clicked on the notification.

Kai: ya home m8?

Ethan: Yeeeee

Kai: Lmao gud wut r u doin tonight

Ethan: lol im gonna watch harry potter probs

Kai: omlll i want tooooooo

Ethan: xdd you can come over

Kai: really??? :DDD

Ethan: if you dont mind that my room will be a mess ;w;

Kai: .. you always say ur room is a mess when theres like one sock on da floor

Ethan: tru 

Kai: oh gawd well im coming over k? wait do u have popcorn????

Ethan: ofc

Kai: noice im comin

Ethan: oke

Ethan smiled on the phone and probably didn't even realize what is gonna happen. When he realized he freaked out.

'KAI IS COMING OVER!!!' Ethan thought to himself. It wouldn't be a big deal, his friend was coming over almost twice a month, but his feelings trough the years changed. Kai wasn't just his bestie anymore. Ethan had feelings for him. He had a crush on him. He wished he could put their relationship on another level. Like... Like he could put the training wheels off the bike. Ethan rushed upstairs to his room and started writing down things he must NOT do:

Step 1. Don't get too close

Step 2. Don't take popcorn from the bowl when he is taking, so your hands won't touch

Step 3. Don't stare

Step 4. Don't bite your lip

Step 5. Look away or pretend you're coughing and hide your mouth if you feel you're blushing

and the last and most important:

Step 6. CONTROL YOURSELF!! Don't accidentally confess, hold his hand or kiss

He took the paper and started reading it over and over, until he was sure he knows everything. He quickly cleaned the few things that were on the floor and ran back downstairs to make the popcorn. He got the DVD, turned the TV on. After he heard the microwave alarm, he took the finished popcorn and put it in a bowl. The doorbell rang. 

"The door's open!! I'm just going to my room for a second!!" Ethan yelled and went upstairs.

Meanwhile Kai walked in. He was wearing comfortable sweatpants and a white t-shirt. 

"Okay!" he yelled back. The smell of popcorn was all around the room. He sat on the couch and waited for Ethan to come.

"Alright, I'm here." said a voice behind him. He turned around to see a blond boy in an adorable panda onesie.

"U-Uh...Wha...What are you wearing...?"  asked Kai.

"Oh, this?  I got it on my birthday, I didn't wear it yet. Is there something wrong with it?" said Ethan.

"No! It's not that... It's just you... don't wear so adorable things very often."

"So adorable, huh?" Ethan said with a grin. "Didn't knew you liked things like that."

"Oh shut up!" Kai said throwing one of  the pillow at Ethan.
