((Spent a long time writing this good lord,))

I woke up slowly, adjusting my body to grab onto Boris's. I looked at the time. 10:00 AM.
Hmm, we normally don't sleep this late. I sat up, I noticed Boris stirring in his sleep as well. Finally coming to the decision of a pose, relaxing his muscles and then. He's fully asleep.
I noticed my phone had lit up, turning my full attention to it and grabbing it, it had been messaged, a number appeared on the screen.
"Theo!"
It read. They kept going.
"Remember me?"
It was only sent a few minutes ago so I figured I'd respond.

"I'm sorry, I don't. But could you tell me if you wouldn't mind."

Not going to lie, I was a bit anxious but pushed through the anxiety when he replied.

"Andy?"

I recognized the name instantly.

"Oh wow! Andy! Jeez, it's been years! Where you at now a days?"

I added. Obviously interested about what he had been doing after so long.

"You know, the usual. Getting married, Raising children, Etc. you know what I mean. How about you? You seemed so... sad when you left?? Not to be rude. But I thought I'd never see you alive again. You were just so deep into depression. I thought you had taken every pill and anti- depressant on the list! Yeah, but. How are you these days?"

It was a very long message back but I decided to continue the conversation.

"Eh, same for me. Finding my first love, moving out of my Dad and step-Mother's house and getting married. Traveling and being my tired self.
I was devastated when I had to leave. You guys were great.
I loved having a shoulder like you to lean on when I was younger. Obviously needed it. I had been moving pill to pill at that time. I just stick to one now. But it was a huge thing back then."

Surprisingly Boris was still soundly asleep. I don't know how, we don't sleep this late. My focus was brought back to my phone when I got a text back.

"Getting married? Who's the lucky lady?"

He asked, I could feel him nudge me through the screen. I was obviously uncomfortable and wanted to lie, since I was straight back then and would talk to Andy for hours about girls and getting married to women seeing them walk down the streets all confident in their dresses... little did I know I would get married too a man, I'd be the one in dresses, and I'd be the one doing more feminine stuff.
Who knows. Andy could be disgusted by the fact that I married another man.

He sent a picture of him and his wife. Two small girls along side of them.

"You go, send a picture of your wife."

((Dang Andy. Making me uncomfortable and I'm not even in the situation.))

I didn't want to lose my childhood friend again. But I thought, and finally sent him a picture of me and Boris, a nicer one actually since both of us have no skill in photography.

"Ah... i see."

I was questioned by his response but I was glad it wasn't negative.

"Where are you now? I'd like to reunite our friendship! Meet your husband... You know, spend some time together."

I smiled. I wanted too.
I sent him my address. He sent somewhere not to far from here.

"You still live in New York?"

I asked him. Surprised he didn't move away. He always dreamed of living along the coast.

"Yeah. I found a cheap place, We got lucky. Because it was around the time my wife was having my first daughter. So we needed a place to raise our kids."

I agreed with that.

"We should meet later! Where is a reasonable place to meet?"

I looked over at Boris. Still curled up and peacefully asleep... made me smile.

I sent him the address to a local park. He agreed.

"How about we meet there for supper?"

He asked.

"Of course! That'll be perfect."

I replied, I saw movement in the corner of my eye. I turned my head Boris had woken up. I grabbed my phone and shut it off. Putting it on the nightstand beside my side of the bed.
I laid back down on my pillow. He stretched and turned to face me, I wrapped my arms around his waist. Our noses were touching. Boris gave me a quick peck before pulling away and starting to get up. He ran a hand through his curls and walked to my side of the bed. Getting down on one knee. "What do you want to do today?" He asked me. "A friend I haven't seen in a long time invited us over to the park for supper." I signed in reply. He tilted his head with a smile.
"Which friend?" He asked. Interested.
"Andy... Andy barber? I met him a while before I moved to LA and met you." ((I don't feel like looking up how too spell his name.))
"Alright. What's he like now a days? We don't want to crash a bunch of homophobes party."
He asked trying to crack a joke. It made me snicker a bit.
"Not bad. has a wife, Two girls, lives in a decent sized house."
Boris nodded. "Aight outta bed." He signed, dragging me out of my bed. Which made me laugh.
I stood up, Boris technically helping me up. Grabbing my tired and lazy body as I almost fell.
"Your getting tall Potter." He signed, surprised at my rapid growth. Which I had been noticing too.
"One day, you'll be able to pick me up." He added, nudging me with this shoulder. I couldn't see that.
I looked outside. Most of the snow had melted though there were a few places with patches of snow. Still to much for Boris to go to work.

((Time skip I'm lazy today))

We were gonna leave in a few. I grabbed and straightened Boris's tie. He thanked me with a quick peck on the cheek.
He grabbed my hand and led me outside. It was a good walking distance.

*start music now

We started walking. The cold dry air hitting our faces.
He started running. I chased him with a smile.
We reached the park panting. Andy and his family were already there. I could see them from a distance. The girls were sitting on one of the benches by their parents.
We walked over. Catching their eye, Andy waved and walked over. Pulling me into a hug. I was surprised by the sudden action but hugged back. He pulled away. Keeping a grip on my shoulders, "wow..." he said. I could tell by his mouth. Boris translated it for me anyways.
He pulled himself off of my body. Boris And I linked arms. My head against his heavy coat.
Andy started talking to Boris. Both of them getting a good laugh after saying something.
We all walked over to the playground equipment, sitting on the stairs.
Andy's wife walked over, she was very pretty in my opinion. But of course. Not as beautiful as Boris.
She had a light blue dress on fully covered her legs.
I was fascinated by the dress. But I turned my attention to the semi-bored Boris that sat beside me. She waved and started talking, which Boris picked up and translated.
"Hello, my name is Emily." She signed, a bright smile on her face I smiled back.
"I'm Theo, this is my husband Boris" ((heck ya Theo claim your manz.))
I said with my voice. Boris turned to look at me, his face had a surprised look because I never use my voice.
Boris was shocked but kept translating,
"Nice to finally meet you Theo, Andy has been talking about how much he looked forward to seeing you." She still had that smile that lit up her face.
Boris smiled as I put my head on his shoulder. She picked the conversation back up again.
"Finally nice to see a gay couple around here. It's always straights left and right."
I nodded my head in agreement.
"If you don't mind me asking. What made you fall for each other?" Andy asked. I had a pink tint on my face, though it was blocked out by my red face from the cold.
I remember the moment I realized I loved Boris like the back of my hand. "Well I- uhm-" I said growing redder by the minute.
"I have no idea, I felt like I was just drawn to him somehow. I don't know.
I felt like we should be more than friends. He was just... so nice."
I said. Boris was looking the other way. Hiding a blush that took over most of his face.
"Wow! I'm very sorry we missed your wedding..." Emily said, Boris translated for me. Still not looking in my direction. "Aw, don't be sorry. We've got it all recorded and stuff if you'd like to see it." I said. Making a smile appear on both of their faces. "I'll look forward to that." She replied. Making me smile. Boris's fingers intertwined with mine. Boris looked at me, I'd never seen his face so red. "Jesus Boris. Sorry." I said, putting a hand on his cheek.
"No, no don't be." He signed in reply giving my hand a quick kiss
This is Theo Decker, Signing off.
