Jerome rolled out of bed at the loud sound of his alarm clock, abruptly ripping him out of his dream about Mitch. Lately, Jerome had been thinking about Mitch a lot and quite frankly...he's becoming slightly confused. Not that he was gay or anything, he was perfectly happy with his girlfriend, as was Mitch. But for some reason, Jerome could not get Mitch off his mind. Jerome stood an turned off the alarm clock with a small smile as Coco bursted in with a cheerful bark. Rubbing Coco's head, he walked to the kitchen and gave the dog some food before beginning to make his own.

After washing his plate, he padded to his office to start the Livestream with Mitch. As soon as he sat down, Skype comes up with a call from Mitch. Exactly ten o'clock. The livestream was to start now. Just as Jerome answered, Mitch started with his usual intro "Hey doods it's Mitch here or BajanCanadian and I'm here with JEROME!!" "LESGO!" Jerome blurted out, launching the beginning of their game.

"Woah, that was an UNGODLY amount of people!" Mitch exclaimed after they had said goodbye to all that had watched. "I know, it was amazing!" Jerome responded, happy to finally see Mitch's face again over Skype. Not that he was gay. He simply liked the familiar tufts of brown hair that stuck up and every direction, and the hazel eyes that he had looked into since elementary school. Jerome found it comforting. "Yo J-Rome, you good? You haven't been talking," Mitch said jokingly, until his face dropped, heavy with concern. "Is something wrong?" Mitch said in a worrisome tone. "Nah biggums, it's good. Let's do some Hunger Games!" Jerome replied, snapping out of his thoughts.

Jerome crawled into bed that night and smiled, slipping under his covers. Tomorrow was his birthday, so Mitch and Adam were flying to New Jersey to stay a week with Jerome. Pleased with the thought of seeing his friends, Jerome drifted off into a deep sleep, with the word "Friend" on the tip of his tongue.

Mitch woke at 3 am with a light heart and a plane to catch soon. He shot Jerome a quick text as he called up a taxi and threw his things in the back. "Hey dood, you ready for this week? It's gonna be great!" Satisfied with his text, Mitch sent it off to Jerome. To his surprise, Jerome responded instantaneously with a "You know it biggums!" And with that, Mitch was on his way.
