Chapter 3: Buddies Going Home


Simon woke up first as he yawned. He sat up as he saw his other friends asleep. His lover, Taiga was asleep next to him as he was laying on his back. Simon smiled at him as he grabbed his phone from the charger and checked on it. It was nearly 9 AM. Simon got up very quietly as he left the guest room. He quietly closed the door as he went to use the restroom.

Kieran had been up as he was laying on the couch, on his phone. He looked up when he saw Simon coming downstairs. Simon looked at him as he waved at him. Kieran waved at him back as he went back to his phone. Now it was just the 2 of them as it was very awkward. Kieran sighed as he sat up.

"Hey, Simon, can we talk?" Kieran asked.

Simon smiled as he walked over to him and sat next to him. He looked at him as he waited for him to speak. Kieran sighed as he put down his phone.

"Hey look, about last night, I'm sorry that I dared Taiga to sit on my lap. I knew it was wrong and I regret it. I'm sorry I hurt you again." Kieran said he sighed.

"It's alright. I forgave you. I'm guessing you're still having a hard time letting him go?" Simon asked him.

"Yes. How do you let go of your exes? You don't have to tell me if you're not too comfortable." Kieran asked Simon.

"I blocked them on social media, deleted their numbers, threw away their addresses, and deleted our selfies off my camera roll and snapchat. I told them to never contact me and leave me be. And they did. I moved on by focusing on myself and hanging out with my friends more." Simon told Kieran as he smiled.

"R-Really? I mean, I still like Taiga as a friend though. Is that okay?" Kieran asked.

"If you feel like you can control yourself around him, then yeah." Simon said as he smiled.

"Thank you. Again, I'm really sorry." Kieran said as he sniffled.

The sniffle alarmed Simon as he hugged Kieran.

"Please don't cry. It's okay. I forgave you." Simon said as he wiped away Kieran's tears.

Kieran smiled a bit as he hugged Simon back. "Thank you so much."

Simon smiled at him as they both sighed. Not too sure what they wanna do next.

"Are you doing anything for Halloween?" Simon asked him.

"Nah. I don't really like going out that much. So I might just help pass out candy." Kieran told him. "You?"

"I'm definitely going trick or treating." Simon said as he smiled.

"Oh cool. Are you dressing up?" Kieran asked him.

"Hell yeah I am. I always dress up." Simon told him as he smiled.

Kieran smiled back as he heard someone coming downstairs.

"Jalin? Oh hey you guys. I'm guessing y'all two woke up first?" Jordan asked them.

"Yep! I didn't wanna wake them up. We kinda stayed up a little late telling stories and all." Simon said as he chuckled.

"No way. Hahaha, well since you two are up, why not make y'all some pancakes? We can make more for your friends." Jordan said as he walked into the kitchen.

Both Simon & Kieran followed him as they wanted to help out.

"So, Jordan, what are you in college for?" Simon asked him as he washed his hands.

"I wanna help fix cars and technology stuff." Jordan said as he smiled. "What about you?"

"I wanna help with animals. After losing my best friend at camp buddy." Simon told him as he smiled.

"Whoa! Who'd you lost?" Jordan asked him.

"Stargaze. She was a horse. She passed away at camp buddy. I was so upset and couldn't eat or sleep for a few hours." Simon explained to Jordan.

"Damn. Those are beautiful creatures. I'm sorry to hear that." Jordan said to him as he patted his shoulder.

"It's okay. Thank you." Simon smiled at him.

The 3 boys began making pancakes as they were cracking jokes, making each other laugh, and just having a good time. Kieran actually forgot about his worries about Taiga as he was getting along with Simon just fine. It was nearly 10 AM as the pancakes were almost done.

Simon had put on some hyperpop music to get everyone in the mood as the boys danced to the songs and kinda sang the lyrics. Then they finally got done making pancakes.

"So, who wants to go upstairs and check on them?" Jordan asked them.

"I'll do it. I'll be back.~" Simon said as he smiled and headed upstairs.

Both Kieran & Jordan set up the plates as Simon knocked on the guest room door & Jalin's door. Jalin opened it as she rubbed her eyes.

"Hey you, what time did you wake up?" Jalin asked their friend.

"Just an hour ago. Anyways, can y'all come downstairs? We got a surprise for you.~" Simon told his friends as he smiled.

Everyone tilted their heads as they headed downstairs. They gasped when they saw many pancakes on the table.

"Whoa~! Did you guys make these~?" Hiro said in excitement.

"Yasssssss~! Jordan is a Daddy at cooking~! They look so good.~" Eduard said happily.

"Hey! Morning buddies, I hope you like them and I promise you, they're not poisonous.~" Jordan said as he grinned at his sister.

"Hahaha, that's my job~ But really they look so good, bro." Jalin said as she sat next to Kieran.

Kieran blushed a bit as everyone began to eat their pancakes.

It was silent as Jalin broke it. "So, how are y'all getting home?" Jalin asked.

"I am. I have a van now, remember? I'll take everyone home." Natusmi said as he smiled.

"Right duh." Jalin said as she smiled.

"So, can we all hang out on Halloween Night~?" Simon asked happily.

"What would you like to do, Simon?" Keitaro asked him.

"Trick or treating! In my neighborhood~!" Simon said happily.

"Do they have bigger candy bars?" Hunter asked him as he smiled.

"Of course~! And my neighbors literally don't care that we're adults, going out trick or treating getting free candy." Simon said as he smiled.

"Hell yeah~! I love getting free candy anyways. Mr. Perfect, are you in?" Yoichi asked him.

"Eh? I don't really like sweets you guys, but I'll go. I'll probably give some to my brother and parents." Natsumi said as he smiled.

Everyone smiled as they were all done eating pancakes. They all headed upstairs to get dressed and washed up as they stayed at Jalin's house till 12 PM. She hugged everyone as they all said 'Goodbye" to them. Jordan waved at them as he gave them a peace sign.

"Jalin, you have amazing friends. I'm honestly surprised that Simon forgave you for bullying him at camp buddy." Jordan told his sister.

Jalin sighed, "It was a mistake. I should have never snuck in and bullied him."

Jordan smiled and hugged them. "Hey, you made a mistake, at least they're having girls next year at camp buddy, you're going to enjoy it."

"Thanks bro. Now let's clean up the kitchen before mom throws a fit again." Jalin said as she laughed.

Jordan laughed also as they both turned around and headed back to the kitchen.

The End


Whew! Finally done. I know this was random but I had fun making this.

I hope y'all buddies enjoyed it. :D
