Around the same time that Jake entered Steven's house for the first time, Lucas was entering Kyle's house for the first time. Lucas wasn't sure what to expect, since Kyle was very vague when he talked about his homelife back at camp, but he really liked Kyle and hoped that today was going to be great.
Lucas (wearing a full outfit for the first time in forever) knocked on Kyle's front door and after a few seconds of waiting, Kyle answered and said, "What's up, dude. Come on in!"
Lucas entered the house and saw that it was very similar in both size and style to his own house. Not in a creepy way, but more of a coincidental way. It made Lucas feel at home.
Lucas and Kyle then hugged each other, and Lucas immediately noticed that Kyle was barefoot. Not that it surprised him, due to Kyle telling him about liking being barefoot during camp.
"So, what's been happening with you since camp?" asked Kyle.
"Nothing. Just stuck in the house playing video games in the nude. You?" asked Lucas.
"Nothing too crazy. Been working on painting and writing." said Kyle.
"Cool, so what do you want to do?" asked Lucas.
"We can do another round of Foot War if you want." said Kyle.
"Sure! And you said it was okay for us to not wear pants, right?" asked Lucas.
"Right." said Kyle.
"Well, let's do that first." Lucas said before he and Kyle took off their pants (and shoes and socks, in Lucas' case), leaving them in only their shirts and underwear.
"Okay, now I'm ready." said Lucas.
Lucas and Kyle then sat on the floor, pressed their feet against each other, and pushed until one of them won. It was a struggle, but Kyle managed to pull off an upset and beat Lucas.
"Wow, you're getting better at this." said Lucas.
"I know. You're still really good at this too." said Kyle.
"Thanks." Lucas said before he and Kyle went back on the couch.
Not a moment later, a toddler wearing a white shirt and a diaper came into the living room and said, "Kyle, I want to play."
"Oh, Lucas, I didn't mention this before, but I have a younger brother. His name is Jamie. He's going to be 3 next month." said Kyle.
"Kyle, please?" asked Jamie.
"We're not playing right now, but you can sit with us." said Kyle.
"Okay." Jamie said before he climbed on the couch and sat in between Lucas and Kyle.
"So, it's so weird that you have a younger sibling and Jake and I have older siblings." said Lucas.
"Yeah, being an older brother is weird, but I like it. Jamie can be cool when he wants to be." said Kyle.
"Kyle, who is that?" asked Jamie.
"Jamie, this is Lucas. I friend I made while I was at camp." said Kyle.
"Oh." said Jamie.
"So, Jamie, what do you like to do?" asked Lucas.
"Um, I like to poop." said Jamie.
Of all the answers Lucas was expecting, that was not it.
"He likes to poop a lot. Way too much. It's a problem. My parents are trying to get him potty-trained, but he just won't cooperate. It's the reason why he still wears diapers." Kyle explained.
"But pooping is fun." said Jamie.
"To you it is. But to everyone else, it's gross." said Kyle.
"You're gross!" Jamie fired back before getting off the couch.
Jamie then had a devious smile on his face and bent over. Kyle warned Jamie with, 'Jamie, no. No. NO!' but it was all for naught, as Jamie proceeded to fill up his diaper and stink up the room. He had the biggest smile on his face, while Lucas and Kyle pinched their noses and covered their mouths.
"MOM! He did it again!" Kyle yelled.
Kyle's mom came down the stairs very fast and scolded Jamie for messing himself again. She then greeted Lucas before taking Jamie upstairs to get his diaper changed.
"That right there is what I have to deal with on a daily basis." said Kyle.
"That's rough, dude. So, can I ask you something?" asked Lucas.
"Sure. What is it?" asked Kyle.
"When did you start going barefoot pretty much all the time?" asked Lucas.
"All my life, I guess. My mom told me that I dreaded putting on shoes when I was really young. I would scream and fight if anything covered my feet. Eventually, I accepted shoes, but I prefer to not wear any at all. Feeling the ground with my feet is super satisfying and I don't care who complains about it." said Kyle.
"Okay. So, your mom is nice." said Lucas.
"Yeah, she's the best." said Kyle.
"Where's your dad?" asked Lucas.
"My mom and dad got divorced 2 years ago. It's just me, Jamie, and Mom." said Kyle.
"Oh. I'm…I'm really sorry about that." said Lucas.
"Don't worry, it's fine. My mom and dad are on good terms, and I visit my dad every few weeks, so it's fine." said Kyle.
"Okay, that's good. Um, how do you feel about Jake and Steven being together? You think they'll last?" asked Lucas.
"I think so. Those two were made for each other. I honestly thought you and Jake were into each other." said Kyle.
"No, I'm not into guys. Besides, we see each other as brothers and we'll likely be stepbrothers, if my sister and Jake's brother, Matt, stay together." said Lucas.
"Wait, your sister is dating Jake's brother?" asked Kyle.
"Yep. I found out a few days ago." said Lucas.
"Wow. That's going to be something to get used to." said Kyle.
"Yeah." said Lucas.
For the next few hours, Lucas and Kyle watched TV, read some comic books, played some video games, painted some pictures (Kyle painted with his feet just to show off), and overall had a good time together. When it was time to leave, Lucas put his pants, shoes, and socks back on, hugged Kyle, and walked out the front door.
While walking home, Lucas thought to himself, "Man, this summer has been awesome. It sucks that it's ending in less than a month though. But at least I got a darn good friend in Kyle."
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Things are really winding down now with this story. Only 4 more chapters left. The next chapter will deal with Tiffany and Matt, who are forced to bring Lucas and Matt with them on their date. As you can predict, shenanigans will ensue. Also, I'm working on a ton of stories right now (one-shots, old stories, new stories), so keep expecting updates. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
