They were loud and childish and couldn't do more than one thing at once but that was how they rolled. Sure, they lived in the lap of luxury in their castle, but it didn't mean they weren't the takeaway eating, movie loving trio they were.

Nick 'Carbo' Karandonis had been put in charge of the big house his parents own, when they moved back to Lesbos permanently (a joke that still made his best mate chuckle). And the big house had been lonely, in the dead of night, with no more than his teddy bear for company.

It was a house, but not a home.

So he invited aforementioned best mate and neighbour Ben (his childhood friend that had lasted way into adulthood) to move in. He had packed up his little yellow car, reversed it out of his driveway, waved goodbye to his parents and parked it in his.

Theirs.

But, there were just some things two guys couldn't do by themselves. Cooking, cleaning and any other form of domestic housework, to be precise.

Hence the fact Melissa Bannon became a member of their strange little household.

Things had skyrocketed from there- they found out Melissa was about as domestically advanced as they were, Ben fell in love with her and the two broke up, Melissa on her way to Perth (and seriously considering burning Carbo's mother's best sheets, which frightened him no end).

But all was resolved and Carbo was the best man at their wedding (unofficial, of course).

When they got married, he convinced himself that he was going to be the outsider to a perfect marriage. How wrong he was.

Nothing changed- and he wouldn't change a thing. Not even the smashed rooster (which he had secretly cried over). They had built a home around their slightly dysfunctional 'family'- there was no word to describe the love that flowed in their home. Despite the teasing, constant running jokes and the fact that their pantry and fridge were empty the day after being restocked.

It had been a house...

But not a home.
