"Whoa!" The boys gasped, entering Gustavo's house.
"It's so fancy!" Carlos clapped his hands as his eyes widened.
Gustavo shrugged, I guess it could be fancy…if you considered garbage everywhere and useless knick-knacks 'fancy'.
"Where can we put our stuff?" James questioned.
"Uh…follow me." Gustavo thought for a bit…he complete forgot that there were only two bedrooms in his little apartment.
The boy's new father led them to a small room in the back of the house. To their surprise it was practically empty; all except one bed that rested in the middle of the room.
"Where do we sleep?" Kendall asked, "There is only one bed…"
"I can set up some blankets on the ground for tonight. Tomorrow we will go out and buy some more mattresses." Gustavo promised.
"Well who gets the bed tonight?" Carlos inquired.
"Me!" James chanted.
"No me!" Kendall fought back.
"Nobody…so it's fair." Gustavo mentally pat himself on the back. He was doing a good job at this 'parenting' job.
"Ok." They nodded.
"I'm hungry." Carlos added.
"I'll go and start to make dinner." Gustavo said, "In the meantime, you guys can start to unpack your stuff and everything."
Gustavo headed out of the bedroom and back to the kitchen where he started to open up cabinets and search for some kid-friendly foods. All he could find were bags of things like pretzels and chips, so he turned towards the fridge and began to search through there. He never really bought things to cook, since he spent most of his time eating out at various restaurants. After digging through everything, Gustavo spotted a box of pasta. He figured heating that up would be fine for now…
"It's cool here…it looks so different than our old home." James realized.
"I know; I think we're gonna like it here." Kendall added.
"Agreed!" Carlos smiled, pulling some toy race cars out from his bag.
"What about you, Logan? You haven't said anything since we got here." Kendall sighed.
"It's nice…" Logan mumbled, "…'m just a little homesick."
"It's ok, Logie." Carlos hugged the small boy, "You'll warm up to the place."
Logan just nodded and sat down, leaning against the wall. He unzipped his bag, pulling Puppy out and hugged the stuffed animal to his chest.
"Does Puppy like it here?" Kendall smiled.
"A little…he thinks it's too dark; though." Logan answered.
"We should turn a lap on." James decided, going over to the little bedside light and flicking it on without hesitation.
"Much better." Carlos grinned.
Kendall beamed, "This room isn't as small as it was when the light was off."
"What do you mean?" James laughed.
"It just looks bigger now." Kendall giggled.
"I guess we couldn't see all of it in the dark." Carlos suggested.
"Probably."
Gustavo called from the kitchen, "Dinner's ready!"
"Yay!" The boy's yelled, coming out of the room and into the kitchen. Before Gustavo could even say anything, they all sat down at the table. He chuckled a little; they were just too cute.
"Ok; it's 8 o'clock...so I think you guys should get ready for bed." Gustavo suggested.
"But I'm not tired." Carlos pouted.
"Me either." James added.
"We're all not tired!" Kendall budded in.
"Fine...you can stay up until...8:30. No later." Gustavo finally said.
A yawn escaped from Logan's mouth, "C-can I go to be now?" He asked in a tiny voice.
"Of couse." Gustavo replied, "I already set up the blankets. Good-night...uh..."
"His name's Logan." James rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah. Good-night, Logan."
The raven haired boy, slowly walked back to the bed room, still holding Puppy. He grabbed a blanket from the ground and dragged it over to a spot behind where the bed was...it felt safer back there. He next made sure to bring a pillow with him and Puppy of couse.
"I'm scared, Puppy."
...no answer
"It's ok, I don't like talking either." Logan sighed, "I know you hear me; though."
Logan took a deep breath and peered out the little window the was above him. It looked so creepy out, and he wished more than anything that he had his friends in here; but they were too busy watching TV. He tried to tune out the loud sounds from outside, and closed his eyes, huddling under the quilts for warmth. Soon his friends would be in here...he just had to wait a half hour; that wasn't too long.
It seemed like forever, but soon enough, the youngest boy fell asleep, not even noticing that his friends had joined him shortly afterwards.
Can I get another 10 by the next update? Hope you enjoyed!
