Ricky crosses his arms as he looks out the window of E.J.'s car. "Your adorable when you're angry," E.J. smirks. 

Ricky's face, of course, fills with a blush, and he makes sure E.J. doesn't see. "Shut up," Ricky mumbles. E.J. rolls his eyes and soon parks the car. He looks out the window and notices a pretty big house that E.J. is parked in front of. "Where are we?" Ricky asks. 

"My house," E.J. says. 

"Oh no, no no," Ricky says. "I know what you're doing; you're trying to get me to sleep with you," Ricky says, making E.J. laugh. 

"I'm just trying to hang out; if I were trying to sleep with you, we'd be doing it in my car," E.J. smirks. Ricky's eyes go wide, and he gets out quickly before gaging. 

"Gross," Ricky grumbles. E.J. rolls his eyes and drags Ricky inside. They get to E.J.'s room, and Ricky looked around. His eyes land on a stuffed animal on his bed, and he chuckles. "Really?" Ricky asks before picking up the bear. 

"What, my sister gave it to me, and it's a good cuddler," E.J. smiles. "Don't act like I didn't see that stuffed bunny in your room," E.J. smirks. Ricky looks away when E.J. says that and sets the bear down. "What do you use it for anyway?" E.J. asks. 

"It's nothing," Ricky mumbles, and E.J. quickly noticed Ricky's mood change. He walks over to Ricky and sits next to him on the bed. "Why do you wanna know anyway?" Ricky asks. 

"Wanna know I need to be jealous of it when you fall in love with me," E.J. smirks. 

Ricky chuckles a little while rolling his eyes. The two sit there in silence for a couple of minutes, not knowing what to say. "I use him to cuddle when my mom comes over," Ricky sighs before falling back on the bed. "My parents are always are fighting when there near each other, so I use him to cuddle when no one else can," Ricky says tears forming in his eyes. 

E.J. frowns and lays back on the bed as well. He looks at Ricky and soon grabs Ricky's hand. "If your mom ever comes visits and there fighting again, call me; I'll come and get you," E.J. smiles, making Ricky smile. 

"Thanks," Ricky says before looking back at E.J. the two finally lay in comfortable silence.

Later that night, E.J. ended up getting the two pizzas, and Ricky was fairly happy. "This is way better than our last date," Ricky smiles as he eats a slice of pizza. 

E.J. rolls his eyes and puts on the first scary me he can find. Ricky isn't really paying attention when E.J. chooses it, so when the movie comes on, Ricky just smiles and stares at the screen. 

Not even 15 minutes into the movie Ricky was scared. He wasn't gonna say anything, though, cause he knew E.J. would just tease him about it later. Ricky, though basically jumped into E.J. to hide his face when the next jump scare came on. "Aw, is Ricky scared?" E.J. teases. 

"No," Ricky mumbles, still not moving his face from E.J.'s shoulder. 

"Seems like you are," E.J. chuckles. When Ricky doesn't respond, E.J. just turns the movie off and turns on some random show. Ricky glanced at the tv before sighing when he saw the movie was off. "I didn't think you could be more adorable, but I was proved wrong," E.J. smirks. 

Ricky grabbed a pillow again and started to hit E.J. with it again. "It's ok to be scared during a horror movie," Ricky grumbles, still hitting E.J.

E.J. laughed as Ricky kept hitting him. He knew he could easily take the pillow, but he thought he should wait a little. After about a minute more of getting beaten up with a pillow, E.J. stole the pillow and quickly pinned Ricky down. "See, I can easily overpower you," E.J. smirks. 

"Shut up," Ricky pouts before trying to move away. E.J., though, doesn't budge and smirks as he watched Ricky struggle. "Let me go," Ricky says. 

"Should have thought of that before hitting me with a pillow," E.J. smirks. 

"E.J.!!!" Ricky whines. 

"You could always give me something that will make me let you go," E.J. smiles. 

"And what would that be?" Ricky asks. 

"A kiss on the cheek," E.J. smirks. 

"Really?" Ricky asks. 

"Yes, now a kiss on the cheek, or you'll be here for a while," E.J. chuckles. Ricky sighs and soon moves up to kiss E.J.'s cheek. E.J. smiles and lets go of Ricky. 

"Looks like this data is over then," Ricky smirks before standing up. 

"What?" E.J. says. 

"A kiss on the cheek means an end of a date," Ricky chuckles. "I need a ride home, though," Ricky says. 

E.J. glares before he sighs and stands up. "Alright," E.J. sighs and soon grabs his keys. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E.J. parked in front of Ricky's house and looked at him. "After this date, do you love me?" E.J. asks. 

"Nope," Ricky smirks before opening the car door. 

"Aw, come on," E.J. whines. "At least a little?" E.J. asks. 

"Not even a little," Ricky smirks before getting out of the car. 

"I swear to god," E.J. sighs. "I will get you to love me, Ricky Bowen," E.J. yells. 

"I'd like to see you try," Ricky laughs before walking into his house. 

E.J. laughs at this and soon drives away with a big smile on his face.
