Open POV

One month had past since Eli and Jake's meeting and neither of them really had or wanted anything to do with the other. Jake was going out with some girl named Katie and Eli was enjoying being single and hanging with his two best friends.

Lately however he had noticed a change in one of them was acting a little distant when the three of them were together. It seemed like Adam was avoiding Clare and Eli wasn't really sure why.

He was currently helping Spinner put a crib together. Well he was watching Spinner fail to put a crib together. With the arrival of the twins coming quicker and quicker with each day there home had turned into baby central.

"Spin maybe we should just look at the directions!" Eli offered for probably the tenth time since they had started.

"Look I know you're gay that is absolutely fabulous-" He stopped when he saw Eli giving him a look, "Pun definitely intended... but anyway don't say such womanly things!" He said picking up piece of the crib and giving it a glare. Eli rolled his eyes and grabbed the directions. After looking at them for a moment he started assembling his future cousins' bed. Spinner sighed heavily and went over the directions once then joined him. Neither of them had noticed a third (plus a technical fourth and fifth) enter the room.

"So Eli Snake told me there is a dance coming up at Degrassi, who are you attending it with?" Emma said startling the other two.

"Jesus!... If I go Clare, Adam and I will be going stag together!" He replied jumping when she spoke.

She nodded and looked around the nursery. Spinner, Eli and Jay had done great with the paint. Everything in the room and most of the baby clothes they had bought and/or were given at the shower were green and yellow so they would be gender neutral. Her thought process was interrupted by the sound of Eli's phone going off. It was Adam he quickly shot Adam a quick message after the other had asked if they could hang for a little.

"Adam wants me to come over for a bit... so I'm gonna you know... go..." He said slowly walking towards the door. Emma shooed him away and laughed.

Open POV

Eli and Adam were lounging around on the couches in the latter's basement when he looked over at his best friend and sighed.

"Have you been avoiding Clare... or am I just making something out of nothing?" Eli asked him curiously.

"Yeah... well if you're gay now then does that mean you don't care about who Clare is with... other than in the concerned friend kind of way?" He replied looking away.

"That's right." Eli told him realizing why he had been avoiding Clare, "How long have you liked her?" Eli asked causally.

"Honestly for a while now! I thought about asking her to the dance on Friday but now I'm not sure I have the guts." He said

"I think you should just ask her, Clare is sweet she wouldn't say no to you!" Eli told him. Eli spent the next hour explaining why he should just ask Clare to the dance. Eventually he said that the other was right and agreed to ask her the next day at school.
