Chapter 59: We Belong Together

(Sorry, like 90% of this chapter is The Funtimes lol. Can I get an award for most inconsistent updater?)

Eak stares up at the cloudy sky above him, exhaling the smoke from his cigarette through his nose.

He was laying with his back on the trampoline in his yard, waiting for his folks to come home and show him the surprise they promised over text. Eak wasn't sure he really wanted any more surprises for the day. He kind of hated himself right now, had for a while.

Fuck, man. I really called Felix a fag.

Eak bitterly laughed at the unusually grey sky. Wow, here he was, thinking he was so exclusive and progressive, including all sorts of people in his gang project. Then, obviously, as you do, he called his ally a slur regarding his sexuality.

He almost broke Jack's nose for messing with Felix's car that night. He was bloody disgusted by the homophobe. No wonder everybody was so disturbed by him at the party. So yeah, he was gonna think of a proper way to apologize to Felix, for being such a dickhead.

But on another note, Eak needed an alibi for tomorrow night. Federico and Jacinta had become way more strict about his late night adventures since his encounter with Hiroshi, which almost got him arrested. He could think of a proper excuse, and hey, maybe they'd believe it, if he didn't get hurt too much during the pit fight.

So, he fished his phone out of his pocket and texted Town.

Me👌: Hey

Eak was rather anxious about Towntrap's reply. His carnal had every right to reject his request, Eak wasn't gonna be angry at him if he did. He just hoped it wouldn't ruin their friendship.

Carnal🍎: Hi

Okay. So he still wanted to talk.

Me👌: I was wondering if I could stay over at yours tomorrow night? After the fight, I mean

Carnal🍎: Like a sleepover?

Me👌: What the fuck ever.

Me👌: Just....are you cool with it? It's fine if ur not, I just need an alibi to be out tmrow, and well, maybe I just wanna hang out too

That wasn't a lie, honestly. Eak just hadn't been as secure about hanging out with Town since he found out about Town and Chica's.....crush? on him.

Carnal🍎: That's....so nice???

Pfft.

Carnal🍎: Ok. U can stay over

Me👌:  :)!!

Carnal🍎: But we're eating vegan for diner

Me👌: Dude. Nasty!

Carnal🍎: Maybe we'll go to a salad bar

Me👌: Man, why would you do something so horrendous in public?

Carnal🍎: Do what??

Me👌: Eat a salad

Carnal🍎: Ur overreacting

Eak grinned, feeling the nerves from before disappear with each text they send back and forth to each other. He put his phone on selfie mode and snapped a picture of himself, flipping off the camera.

Town felt a flush creep down his neck at the selfie he received. Eak looked stupidly cute. He felt bad for thinking about that after what just happened, but he could tell how much the Mexican regretted it. Besides, Eak with his curly hair, looking at the camera lens with his slightly crooked middle finger wagging in front of his grinning face, was absolutely impossible to stay mad at.
