A/N: Hey guys so I kinda had this idea stuck in my head so yeah I wrote it. It's mosly a Jelfie story. There will be some Jara and Amfie and Mickber. It's set before season 1 so there's no Nina or Eddie. Jelfie is the best ship!
It was a Friday afternoon and school had ended for the day. The seven students of Anubis house entered the house, some of them heading in separate directions. Jerome waltzed into the living room where Joy, Amber, and Patricia were while Alfie went into the kitchen to find a snack. Jerome noticed as Mara started to creep upstairs.
"Already doing your homework now, Jaffray? It's Friday!" Jerome commented, smirking at the girl. Mara turned to face him, only to glare at him. She pushed her big frame glasses onto her nose then turned away from him, walking up the rest of the stairs and heading towards her room. Alfie had returned by now, who had found something to eat, he had overheard his best friend's comment to the nerdy girl and he laughed a bit. Jerome, along with Alfie, had noticed Fabian walking down the hall.
"Now why are you going to your room?" Alfie asked, still chuckling from before.
"Yeah, why do you want to be all alone in your room?" Jerome added. "All alone, sounds like it could be quite boring." Fabian stopped then walked into the living room to face Jerome.
"Why do you have to comment on every little thing that anybody does?" Fabian asked the taller boy. "You always have something to say, why don't you just shut up?"
"Maybe because I don't want to shut up," the blond shrugged his shoulders.
"Whatever." Fabian replied, rolling his eyes, and leaving the room.
"You can be really mean sometimes, Jerome," Amber said from her seat in the room. She was twisting a piece of her hair in between two of her fingers and she didn't look up from the fashion magazine she was reading. "I mean, all three of you are really unattractive so you shouldn't have anything rude to say to each other." Joy and Patricia burst into giggles by the insult Amber had stated.
"Oh, I don't think you would be saying that for long," Alfie said to Amber, winking at the blonde girl. Disgusted by the attempted flirting Alfie was doing, she looked up from her magazine practically giving the boy a death glare.
"Ew, gross!" Joy exclaimed, causing Patricia to laugh even harder. Alfie frowned. Jerome noticed this and frowned also. He didn't like to see his best friend upset like that. How dare Amber say that to Alfie. It was so rude, just disgusting.
Quite ironic, isn't it?
It was now a quarter to 10 o'clock. Just about everybody were already in their rooms. In Alfie and Jerome's room, Alfie was whining about Amber. Jerome tried to ignore him, playing on his gameboy.
"She's so pretty," Alfie continued. "Her hair looks so soft and golden and it's just perfect. Everything about her is. She's like a goddess." Jerome looked up from his game to glare at Alfie. Wondering why, just why, must he always be talking about Amber. "I don't understand why she can't love me," Alfie continued. Jerome let out an aggravated sigh and put his gameboy down.
"Because," the blond started to say, getting up from his bed and walking towards Alfie. "You're Alfie. You really think that bitch will like you? She would never like any of the guys who live in this house." Jerome sat down next to Alfie, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder to comfort him. "The only way she would ever fall in love with you is if you were popular and idiotic and liked to play sports. Are you any of that? No." Alfie looked up at his best friend, hurt in his eye.
"That was a bit mean…" the darker skinned boy mumbled.
"It's the truth," his friend told him. "But you know what? There are so many people out there, why don't you like someone else? Someone that likes you?"
"Is there even anybody in this school that would like me?" Alfie asked. Jerome didn't answer him. He just leaned in and kissed Alfie. He kissed Alfie right on the lips. Alfie's eyes widened, in complete shock. He pulled away from the kiss. "What the hell was that?!" He exclaimed. That was when Jerome had realized what he had done.
"Alfie, I'm sorry!" Jerome tried to apologize.
"I-I can't," Alfie said. "I think, I'm going to sleep in Fabian's room tonight. I don't think he'll mind."
"Alfie, come on," Jerome begged, close to choking on tears. "You're being silly."
"No." Alfie simply said, glaring at the other boy. With that, he turned around and left the room. Jerome nervously ran his hands through his hair, trying not to cry. He failed and tears streamed down his face. What did he just do?
The next day at breakfast was quite awkward. Well, it was only awkward between Jerome and Alfie but some people could tell something was up. The best friends had sat on opposite sides of the table. Mara and Amber still weren't downstairs yet.
"What's up with you two?" Fabian asked Jerome and Alfie. He had noticed something was going on. "I mean, Alfie, you slept in my room last night."
"It's nothing," Jerome stated.
"But-" Fabian started to say, but was interrupted.
"It's nothing, Rutter." Jerome said, quite harshly. At this time, Amber and Mara had entered the dining room.
"Alfie, why are you sitting in my seat?" Mara questioned, fixing her glasses.
"Jerome and Alfie had a little fight," Patricia explained. Joy tried not to laugh.
"Guess that means you get to sit next to me," Jerome told the nerdy girl and then added "Jaffray."
"Great," Mara said sarcastically, while sitting down in the seat next to Jerome.
"Why do you sound so upset to be sitting next to me?" Jerome asked her.
"Oh, I don't know," Mara continued with the sarcasm, but she looked down at her plate of food. "Maybe because you're always a jerk to me and you're always insulting me."
"I'm sorry," Jerome apologized, which was a surprise. Everyone at the table was staring at Jerome in shock. Jerome was never one to apologize. It was dead quiet now.
"It's too quiet," Joy whined, breaking the silence. "Can we talk about something that actually matters now?"
At that moment, Trudy had entered the room with a teenage boy that nobody recognized.
"Good morning, lovelies, we have a new housemate joining you all today," Trudy grinned. "His name is Mick Campbell, he is from Australia, and I want all of you to be nice to him." All of the girls had goofy grins on their faces as they saw their new housemate standing right in front of them.
"Hi Mick," Amber said to the boy. "I'm Amber, Amber Millington."
"Hey Amber," Mick nodded his head towards the girl, smiling at her, which had caused Amber to squeal in excitement. Alfie rolled his eyes. Jerome was right, Amber did like popular, athletic idiots.
That night, Alfie walked into the room he originally shared Jerome. The blond looked up at his friend.
"I'm only here since Mick is in Fabian's room now," Alfie told him, not looking him in the eye. Jerome got up from his bed and strolled over to Alfie, not saying anything. Alfie still wouldn't look at him. They stood in silence for a while.
"Alfie, I'm sorry," Jerome finally broke the silence. "I'm so, so sorry."
"Why did you kiss me yesterday?" Alfie asked, looking at the blond. Jerome's blue eyes were filled with such sadness. That was when Alfie realized he hated seeing Jerome like that, so upset like that. "Does it mean that you're…gay?"
"Maybe I am gay, maybe I really like you," Jerome told him. "But why does it matter? You're my best friend and I've always liked you. Why do we have to ruin our friendship over a kiss?"
"We don't have to," Alfie said. "I do like you, Jerome."
"But as a friend," Jerome added, frowning. But that was when Alfie kissed Jerome. Alfie wrapped his arms around the taller boy's neck and pulled him closer to him. When he pulled away, Jerome looked at him in shock.
"Wha-" The blond was in a daze, completely surprised at what Alfie had done. His best friend, who he was in love with, had kissed him. Alfie had kissed him first this time. It was all so confusing to Jerome.
"Maybe not," Alfie replied to Jerome's last comment. "I don't think I like you 'as just a friend' like you say."
A/N: THE END of chapter one. I will continue this but it will probably be one of those stories that update every couple months. So yeah it will probably have between 5-10 chapters. Also, future chapters might be rated M. Please Review!
