"Hey bro, bad news," Eddy said in the other end after having woken Brett up with a phone call. Brett sat up slightly with a groan.

"What's up?" he asked, not super worried. He knew Eddy well enough to know that this tone wasn't anything serious.

"You know the party I went to on Saturday?" Eddy asked while Brett rubbed his eyes and got his glasses on.

"Yeah?"

"Turns out someone there has corona, so I gotta be in quarantine," Eddy explained with a sigh. "Sorry bro, but we can't work in like two weeks."

"What, really? Seriously, I told you not to go!" Brett sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Dude we are already so behind on the filming schedule."

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? I obviously wouldn't have gone if I knew I'd be exposed to corona," Eddy said, sounding almost frustrated. "It's not like I enjoy working around the clock to catch up."

"Alright, I have a suggestion. I'll be right over," Brett said as he rolled out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

"What do you mean you'll be over? Do you even understand the word quarantine?"

"I'll quarantine with you, so we can get work done," Brett explained, putting the call on speakerphone so he could get ready for the day.

"Seriously? Dude, that's awesome! That's like a two week long sleepover!" he heard Eddy exclaim in the other end and he couldn't help but smile a bit.

"Yeah yeah, it's just so we won't lose our job, you know," Brett chuckled as he pulled the t-shirt he had slept in off. "Get the couch ready for me."

"Sure sure, I'll grab the spare duvet and all for you."

Brett could practically hear Eddy grin in the other end at this point.
"Yeah yeah, I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Wait! One more thing!"

"What?" Brett asked as he pulled his boxers off, feeling the need to shower his grogginess off.

"Could you go to the store before coming to quarantine? I have no food."

"Sure sure, send me the shopping list," Brett sighed and hung up before jumping in the shower.

Day 1

"Take these, I'll just grab my stuff from the car," Brett said, handing Eddy the shopping once he had unlocked the door. Eddy did as instructed, bringing the bags to the kitchen to put stuff away.

A moment later he heard Brett close the door and bringing his stuff into the living room. Eddy had just finished putting everything in the fridge, including some beer he hadn't instructed Brett to buy, when Brett came into the kitchen.

"Beer, huh?" Eddy asked, raising an eyebrow. Brett just shrugged.

"You said sleepover. I also have a bottle of whiskey in my bag, you know, in case we feel like having a party," Brett explained, leaning against the kitchen counter. Eddy couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"I thought you said this was just for work," he teased as he watched Beett help himself to one of the bubble teas Eddy had just put in the fridge. He copied him and grabbed one as well.

"Of course, but we can't work forty hours a day, can we?"

"I wouldn't think so, no. I hope not," Eddy laughed as he stabbed the lid of his bubble tea with the straw. Brett did the same with his.

"We have bubble tea and then we get to work. It's no rush, we're stuck here for two weeks anyway."
