   "Hey George?" Clay asked, knocking at my window. I perked up, startled slightly and scurried over to unlock it and let him in. "Clay jesus fuck what have I told you about coming in through the window?? You can literally use the front door no ones ever home." I said slamming my window shut. "You're right, but where's the fun in that?" He replied with a grin, then plopped down at my desk, booting up my computer. "Do you not have your own computer?" I said with mock annoyance towards him. "Yours is more fun." He said keeping his eyes trained on the screen in front of him. "How?? They're literally the- oh nevermind." I said with a sigh then sat down on the edge of my bed to watch him. He pulled up some website full of nothing but numbers and symbols. "What are you doing?" I asked, a quizzical expression falling on my face. "Decoding." He answered simply, furrowing his brows lightly then tap tap tapping away at the keyboard. I'll admit it was addicting to watch, so I stayed quiet and let him do his thing, admiration adorning my face. "Can you maybe explain to me a bit what exactly it is that you're doing?" I asked softly resting my head on his shoulder. I watched as his face lit up, and off he went rambling on, spilling everything there was to know about what he was doing. Even if I didn't understand most of it, I was more than happy to listen; it was especially nice as he was so passionate about it too.

   "I have a proposition." He announced suddenly, as we were laying down in my bed. "Oooo kinky." I said back, sticking my tongue out and giggling. "Oh not like that you idiot." He said pretending to push me away but the wrapping his arms around me tighter. "Let's go to a party." He said. I pulled back and looked at him, "A party?" I said in disbelief, raising my eyebrows. "Yeah! I think it'd be fun you know? I've never been to one and I already know you haven't either-" I cut him off, "Whaaat? No way I am a party master. I party so hard all day everyday. Do not patronize me." I said managing to keep a straight face. "George...baby...you are literally the epitome of homebody and there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise." He said laughing at me. I opened my mouth and frowned in shock trying to suppress the slowly spreading smile across my face. I gave in to myself and started laughing. "But seriously? A party?" I said settling back down in his arms." He rested his head on mine, "At least think about it." He said. "If I promise to think about it, will you shut up and kiss me?" I asked grinning. "Deal." He said, then tilted my chin up and kissed me, for longer than I could count.

I sighed looking up a pouting Clay. "Please please pleaseeee." He said giving me puppy eyes. "I'm genuinely just not in the mood, if I change my mind I'll come okay? Just go have some fun without me, It'll be okay." I said cupping his face with my hands, holding his head in place. "I never have fun without you." He grumbled, his face falling into a frown. "Go make new friends!" I said trying to remain positive. I didn't want him to leave but the idea of going to a party right now made me nauseous. "Why would I make new friends if I have you??" He said shaking his head loose from my hold and leaning into my shoulder. "Branch out a little jeez Clay, you're slowly turning into me and we can't have that now can we?" I said ruffling his hair. "You're right I'd haaate to be you." He said, and I could just feel his smile. "Alright meanie, no more cuddles for you." I said pushing him away and down onto my pillows. He grabbed my arms and pulled me on top of him, "Can I have something else then?" He asked raising one of his eyebrows. "Hmmmmm that's sounds great buuut you have a party to get to. I'll be here when you get back and maybe just maybe if you ask nice enough you can have that something else." I said rolling my eyes. He releases my arms and I leaned down to give him a kiss on the cheek then climbed off of him. I offered him my hand to pull him up and he took it begrudgingly sitting up. I pulled him up to his feet and practically shoved him out the door. "Bye loser! Have fun!" I yelled. He just laughed and out the door he went. I missed him already, but I knew he needed to socialize more, haha funny coming from me, but he had a much better personality than I did and I knew it wouldn't be hard for people to start to like him. I just wanted him to have fun is all, even if he won't admit it I know he gets bored hanging out with just me all day every day. I sighed and collapses backwards on to my bed and closes my eyes, a sudden wave of exhaustion falling over me.
