~ Friends Forever? ~ {Discontinued}

~Chapter 2~

Around two hours after Aaron fell asleep he woke up to the sound of a camera flashing and a hand resting on his chest. He looks to his side and Conner is clinging onto his side with his face in Aaron's chest. W-w-wha-t is happening? Aaaa he is so warmmmmm! WAIT WHAT TIME IS IT?!?! Aaron thought to himself in a panic as he quickly turned as red as a ripe tomato. He quickly looked up to see a smirking Audrey standing in Connor's bedroom doorway.

¨You guys look cute like that! Why did you wake up?" Audrey protested, turning her phone around to reveal the picture of Aaron and Conner sleeping next to each other to tease Aaron.

Aaron felt his face warm up even more {is that even possible?} while his eyes widened and began to yell. ¨AUDREY!!!¨ He quickly lowered his voice remembering that Conner was right next to him sleeping. ¨What are you doing?!? Delete that!!¨

¨No can do, Mr. Crushing on my brother.¨ Audrey begins to run downstairs while she waves her phone in the air to continue teasing Aaron.

¨AUDREY!! COME BACK HERE!!¨ Aaron yelled chasing Audrey down the stairs.

¨NEVER!¨ Audrey missed a step while sprinting down the stairs and fell head first, causing her phone to be thrown across the room. Aaron jumps over Audrey while Audrey attempts to grab his feet to stop him from getting her phone. Once Aaron is back on the floor he sprints to the light blue phone in the corner of the living room.

¨HA! I got the phone!¨ Aaron said, mocking Audrey. He reached for the phone and turned it over to see the picture. What he saw made him freeze in place and warm up after he finally calmed down.

Conner looked very calm and comfortable while drooling on Aaron's chest. Conner's hand was on Aaron's chest relaxed with his finger stretched out and slightly bent. Aaron was calm as well, his right arm was tucked under his head and was laying on his back. Both seemed to be comfortable with each other's presence and not panicked in any way, unlike how Aaron is while looking at the picture. Aaron's heart rate increased while he stared at the picture.

Audrey snuck up behind Aaron and put her arm around his shoulder. ¨You two look like a married couple.¨

¨W-W-hat?! Audrey!!¨ Aaron quickly covered his blushing face from Audrey.

¨Come on, you've liked him for what, 2 years? When are you going to tell him?¨ Audrey asked Aaron, wrapping her arm around his shoulders.

¨3 years...¨

¨What did you say?¨

¨I've liked him for three years,¨ Aaron said while looking up revealing his teary eyes. ¨and I don't want him to hate me!! I want to stay friends with him till I die!¨ Aaron's voice began to crack while he said this, eventually he started to cry right on the spot.

¨Aaron!! Why are you crying? This is nothing to cry about!¨ Audrey began comforting Aaron. ¨If anything I'm pretty sure that he will like you back!! Just ask him out, like as friends or something! At least you guys can hang out together!¨

¨Audrey!! I've been taking him places for the past-" Aaron takes a moment to let out a sniffle, ¨five years!! I'm also pretty sure that he is straight anyway. I also haven't even come out to him yet! Imag-¨

¨Listen here, I'm his sister, so if anything I can force him to go out with you more. He does need to get out of the house more anyway, he is always in his room playing animal crossing on his phone. All I hear is the weird sounds that those animals make in that game. It's annoying.¨

¨Okayy¨, Aaron said, wiping his tears away with a small smile. ¨Audrey?¨

¨Yes?¨

¨You're c-choking me...¨ Aaron said out of breath.

¨Oh!¨ Audrey quickly loosened her grip on Aaron.

¨Audrey?¨

¨What now?!¨

¨Can you send me the picture of us sleeping?¨ Aaron said with a giant smile on his face.

¨Sure.¨ Audrey giggled lightly.

Aaron and Audrey have been sitting on the couch watching Roma for two hours until they both heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

¨Good morning Audrey, good morning Aaro-¨ Conner paused for a quick second to understand what is happening. ¨Aaron, why are you here?¨

¨Oh, well it's a school day and is currently 12:17. I came over at 7:00 in the morning and you had a panic attack and passed out. So I just didn't feel like going to school without you.¨ Aaron answered Conner quickly.

¨Why didn't you go to school?! You could have just left me at my house!! I would have been fine. Audrey could take care of me!! I don't want you to be counted as absent!! You don't have a reason to miss school. ¨

¨Conner I called in for both of you, I just told the main office that you needed Aaron next to you.¨ Audrey said, barging into the conversation.

¨Yup, the main office said that they will count it as a sick day because I couldn't make it. I had to make sure you were okay.¨ Aaron said to Conner, calming him down.

There was an awkward silence for about a minute, until Audrey pierced through it. ¨I'm going to make lunch so how about you two go upstairs and play some video games?¨

¨Sure,¨ Conner said grabbing Aaron's hand and dragging him upstairs. ¨lets go!¨

Aaron looked back at Audrey with a soft blush appearing on his face. Audrey looked into Aaron's eyes and smirked while crossing her arms. ¨Have fun you two!¨
