55. Need
Jayme walked out of the DMV with a very convincing frown of his face, holding something behind his back.
"Well?" Nick asked, as he approached the car he and Nick were both waiting in.
"Let's just go," Jayme mumbled.
"Oh, Jayme-" Nick began, but was cut off by Jeff.
"Don't believe the little liar; he's quite the actor when he wants to be. Let's see the license, Jay-Jay."
Jayme's face broke out in a smile as he pulled the thin piece of plastic out of from behind his back and flashed it to Jeff and Nick.
"Easy-peasy!"
"Way to go buddy!" Jeff exclaimed. "We're proud of you!"
Wow, you are a pretty good actor," Nick agreed, smiling. "Good job on your license, though."
"Thanks!"
"So, we're kind of kidnapping you now," Jeff explained. "But you're driving."
Jayme beamed as he climbed into the drivers seat.
"Where to?"
"My house," Nick said.
"Why?"
"It's a surprise, Jay-Jay!"
"Fine," Jayme mumbled, a smile still on his face.
When they pulled up to Nick's house, Jeff and Jayme jumped out.
"Wait thirty seconds, then come in."
Jayme shook his head in amazement as Jeff and Nick ran inside. He counted to thirty in his head and then made his way after them. He cautiously opened the door, and was met with a flashing of lights and scraps of colored paper thrown in his face.
"Yay!" Jeff yelled, skipping in circles around his surprised brother, continuing to throw confetti.
"It was his idea," Nick said, pointing and looking at his boyfriend like he was crazy."
Jayme laughed and tackled Jeff in a hug; they both landed on the floor.
"Congrats, Jayme," Jeff said again.
"Thanks, bro."
"Come on," Nick said, motioning for the pair of crazy brothers to follow him. "I have food."
"Oooh food's yummy," Jayme said peppily, jumping up and pulling Jeff to his feet.
After Jeff, Jayme, and Nick had all shoved their faces with junk food and cake, they found themselves on the couch watching re-runs of Full House.
"So what are you most excited about?" Nick asked Jayme.
"Well, ya' know I'm not really excited for the reason most teenagers would be…it's not so I can drive to the mall or the movies…it's to fill that need for freedom. The need to escape sometimes. The need to be able to get away from it all, ya' know."
"I know, Jay-Jay. I felt the same way," Jeff sympathized.
"But you should also just enjoy being able to do donuts in empty parking lots!" Nick chimed in, throwing M&Ms at the pair of brothers and laughing.
