Author's Note: Here's another update!! I really don't have much to say. Oh yeah!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS!!!!
Wendell Loesser was not your typical romantic. He usually did not go out of his way to show is significant other that he loved him. But that day in particular was special. Wendell absent mindedly escorted his little sister, Sarah, to her friend's house for a sleepover, giving her a story about Ephram and him having a guy's night in. Sarah got the notion that they would be watching anime marathons, trading mangas, and wrestling each other, talking about girls. Sure, there was going to be anime movies, manga, and wrestling, but there definitely wouldn't be any talk of girls. Wendell hid a smile as Sarah rang the doorbell to her friend's house.
"Bye Wendell!" the twelve year old called, bringing her fifteen year old brother out of his daze.
"Bye Sarah, have fun!"
'You too, don't mess up the house too much!" The two Loesser kids smiled at each other, a rare sight in Everwood. In fact, unlike the closeness that Ephram and Delia shared, Wendell and Sarah were practically strangers. It wasn't as if they fought constantly (like Wendell did with his older brother), they just didn't go for the sibling bond thing. Wendell raced back to his house, anticipating the oncoming evening.
"Hey dad?" Ephram Brown knocked lightly on his dad's office door. Andy, who'd been looking through a patient's files, looked up surprised at Eprham's appearance.
"Ephram, what's going on?"
"I was just wondering if I could, uh, sleepover at Wendell's house tonight."
"Sleepover?" Andy smiled, already knowing what was going on since his son's friend had already told him the plan.
"Yeah. If it's not alright, I'll just go over to hang-out."
"No, it's fine. Have fun. You're going to miss my famous pasta tonight!"
"Oh no! What will I do?" Ephram smiled sarcastically before leaving the office to go home and get ready. As he hopped on his bike and pedaled home, Ephram couldn't seem to wipe that goofy smile off his face. He was floating through the streets of Everwood, not caring if anyone saw. Not that anyone did since next to nobody noticed him around. He was just 'the Great Doctor Brown's spiteful son'. But he didn't care.
"Hey dorkus! What are you smiling about, huh?" Bright Abbott stepped right into Eprham's path, making Ephram's bubble pop and he came crashing down. Literally.
"Not you," Ephram retorted. Bright laughed.
"What? You got a hot date tonight or something?"
"My urge to date is as big as your mental capacity." Bright stopped to think for a minute and Ephram took this time to speed away. Bright was about to yell something after him, but something else caught his eye. Actually, it was more of a someone. Swallowing, Bright retreated back home.
~*~
After Ephram dropped Delia off at Nina's to play until their father got home, he took his bike and biked to Wendell's house as fast as he could without having people stare. To say that he looked forward to spending the night with Wendell was the understatement of the century. He knocked on the door to the Loesser house, nervous for some odd reason. Wendell opened the door to reveal a dark house. He smiled and grabbed Ephram's bag, throwing it aside, opening the door wider to let him in. Ephram stepped into the house, taking in Wendell's appearance, never dissatisfied. Finally Wendell turned the lights on and Ephram gasped. He'd forgotten what today was. He'd been so caught up in everything else that he'd forgotten. But Wendell had remembered.
"Happy birthday, Ephram." Wendell said quietly to Ephram, planting a kiss on his lips.
*Sorry that was so short. There's more slashy goodness in the next chapter, I promise!*
Thanks for all the reviews:
Hot-pepper96: Well now that I think about it, the Bright romance is kinda adding to the drama, you'll see why. But it doesn't really focus much on that. It's mainly Ephram/Wendell don't worry. Thanks for reviewing!
T.A.T.U.: Thinking about that, but not really sure. Hehe, I need something like…not Bright's type, but someone he can still fall for instantly. What do you think?
Maria Christina: Here's another chappy for ya!
Ri: Well your humble opinion is right!!! Lol
Blatty: *gasp* YOU LIKE EVERWOOD TOO?!?!?! You are the coolest person ever!! When I saw your review I was like "Whoa…dude…"
Nobody's Listening: I love Wendell Ephram too. It's okay about not reviewing a lot. Anyways, W/E it is!!
Kellyerielf: Thanks! Well, I usually read Ephram/Bright or Ephram/Colin or Colin/Bright. But then one day I was like "WENDELL!!" I love Wendell, that might be the reason why I didn't pass the fic onto anybody else =D. Thanks again!!
Please review!!
