I own nothing.

Sumo tossed his head back with a groan. He had forgotten. Again. This was the last strike between him and Jeff. He had tried hard to remember this time but still he had forgotten. He should be known that today had to be day but he ignored the knawing feeling in his gut telling him to check his calender. He slapped his face, he was such an idiot. This had to be the fourth time he had done this. Not only Jeff was mad but Clarence was too. The blonde thought of them as family. Sumo sighed. He had never forgotten about Clarence. However he always forgotten about Jeff. No wonder the skinny boy didn't like him. He never liked him. Ever since they had become to be "Friends". He didn't like Jeff either but he had promised to never forget again and when he promises something he never breaks it. Now that was proven false he needed to apologize and reearn the boys trust. He got up from his bed, his feet felt like cement blocks. Guilt was dragging him down. Again.

"Fuck." Sumo mumbled picking his phone up from the dirty pile of clothing. "He better pick up." He groaned then deeply breathed. "I can see why he won't pick up." The dial tone blared through him and came the stocky automatic voice woman. He ended the call and went over to text Clarence. "I fucked up." He said sadly. If he fucked with Jeff that's like fucking with Clarence. The block was a friend and a brother to the not so bright blonde but Calrence would take up for him whenever someone would try to pick on him. That was one of the aspects of being a friend to him. Sumo would do the same but mainly it was him who picked on the block.

"Hello?"

Sumo felt his heart rise and a warm feeling pass through his chest. Hearing Clarence talk made him get this way. Something about Clarence ands him want adventure, making him want to explore the world and come back to drink a nice cool lemonade in their backyard. He could hear another voice in the background. He knew that voice. Oh he knew that whiny bitchy voice that didn't sound so bit by bit sad and disappointed. His heart suddenly dropped to his stomach and his feel for adventure ran away from his mind. He could imagine the way Jeff was feeling. He knew how Jeff looked when he was saddened. Jeff would rub his arms together, have a slanted look of displeasure, and nervousness. Sumo couldn't forget the look on the blocks face when he had lost the baking competition. Jeff's blue eyes glistened with fresh tears, his shaky body, and disappointment all over him.

"I fucked up."

There was a pause on the other line. Sumo could hear the block talking to Clarence asking who was on the phone and the blonde making up an excuse to go to the bathroom. He could hear the shuffling, and footsteps of movement from one place to another. "Bro, you promised you wouldn't forget this time. You know how emotional Jeff could get a nd now look at what you did! Yes over here in a wreck because of you! He doesn't forget you're birthday!" The boy huffed. "Oh you just didn't fuck up!"

"I know. I know." Sumo said. He could hear Clarence shuffle again probably to get a better position in the small bathroom. "I'm sorry but I forgot." He tried to explain. Who knows how many times that he had said that same sentence. "Look, he probably doesn't even care." Sumo knew he was lying to himself. Jeff was very emotional and when he got his spirits up for nothing he would drown himself in sadness.

"You shouldn't be telling me this you should be telling Jeff this." Clarence stated angrily.

Sumo rubbed the back of his neck. "I just talk better to you. Jeff doesn't understand me like you do. We've been better friends than with him in the group and he sure doesn't like me. So why would he care? I can't stand being alone with him either. That one time where you left to go to a girls sleep over I almost went crazy spending all that time with him! Yes such a weirdo!"

"Sumo!" The blonde cut him off sharply. "Hes our friend and you will apologize."

Sumo looked down at his bedroom floor eyes narrowed. Clarence was right. Clarence was always right. That's why he was put as the lease of the group. He was fair, fun, and imaginative. That's why Sumo liked him so much. He might not have been the brightest bulb in the room but he still lit like a match. "I will."

"When?"

"Does it matter?"

He could tell Clarence was getting irritated.

""Yes it matters! Either you tell him now or never!" The blonde had hit something in the bathroom to prove how angry he was with Sumo. "He needs to be treated like we treat each other. Plus he's given you so many second chances that I've lost count!" again, Clarence was right and Sumo knew he was. He had been treating Jeff badly, using the boy for homework, talks about him behind his back, and sometimes even on front of him. Thinking it over, he thought how Jeff looked during all of it. The boy tried remain calm yet you could still see the sadness of being used in his eyes.

"Clarence I will."

"Until you do so, we are no longer friends." with that said Clarence ended the call. Not even giving Sumo the time to respond.

Sumo thrown himself into his bed and rubbed his eyes. It was too late at night for him to deal with Jeff right now. He didnt need all that pressure in him just because of one person who didn't give two shits about him in the first place. His eyes dropped daring to flop down. Eventually the boy fell aslwep but it was diffulct for him. He dreamt of actually being there for him. With Jeff, he felt always anxious, bored, never expecting what to do with the boy. It was kind of a let down to have such a boring friend. Though, he had to remember that Jeff is a gentleman.

The block was raised by women all his life to be kind and sweet young man but Sumo couldn't stand being around somebody like that. Jeff could be such a pussy at times that it ticked him so much he would just leave. Plus, he wasn't really into the whole gent thing unlike the block it's just that he was the type to go with the wind and not fuss of every single detail like a mommy.

Jeff stared at the birthday cake emotionless. It looked pretty, it smelled pretty, and it sure did taste pretty. But he was missing something to her than his cake. Clarence sat beside him chomping in the largest of pieces whip Jeff only took tiny bites ever so often. He shut his eyes tightly and exhaled.

"I think Sumo doesn't like me."

It had been on his mind for six years now. Finally he spoke out about his feelings to the blonde leader. He pushed his plate away and so did Clarence. The blonde cleared his throat and shook his head. "That's not true Jeff."

"Yes it is." Jeff says turning away. "He doesn't like me, he never liked me!"

The block could feel tears swell in his eyes, his throat tightened and his hands clutched the fabric of his shirt for some sort if comfort. He wanted to tell his friend so badly about his mixed feelings for Sumo but he couldn't find the courage to do so. One part of him wanted to stay friends with Sumo, another wanted to lose all ties, and another wanted the boy to like him as a friend again if he ever had.

"Sumo does like you!" Clarence jumped up to save his friend from hurting himself acting quickly he blurted out, "He likes you so much that he has a crush on you!"

Realizing what he had said, Clarence covered his mouth. He had just told one of the biggest lies in history but Jeff had stopped crying to look at the boy with a confused expression spreader across the region's of his face. Clarence looked like a deer in headlights. What was he going to do now? Sumo is going to kill him when he finds out what he had just started. Oh god, when Sumo got his hands on him...let's just say that shit will go down.

Jeff sniffed, "H-he does?"

Clarence winced and thought about his options. One one hand he'll be making Jeff happy. On the other he'll be getting his ass kicked. Mentally deciding which was better, he nodded and uncovered his mouth. "Yep, he likes ya buddy. Yes liked ya for awhile now..."

The block blushed then coughed, "Oh. I hadn't known that..."

He looked down embarrassed twiddling his thumbs. The room had gone silent except for the giggling of Jeff's. The boy was blushing madly and had a smille the size of Kansas on his face. Clarence felt I'll in his tummy knowing that what he was doing was the wrongest thing a person could ever do to their friends in the history of friendship. Yes break Jeff's heart by telling him Sumo never liked him. He scooted away from him and picked up his cake not taking as many bites as he did before. The guilt wouldn't even let him swallow down the delicious food so he just taking tinybites to make himself feel better. The look of happiness plastered on Jeff's face didn't help either.

"He likes me." Jeff mused to himself. The smile grew larger. "He likes me..."
