And I'm back to write this, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I hope you enjoy it though.

...

"Something wrong?" Zeke asked for the millionth time today.

"Nah" Justin lied as he gritted his teeth. 'I just want to fuck you, no biggie'.

"You sure?"

"Yeah..."

"Yeah?" he asked with a smirk.

"Yes" Justin said back a bit annoyed.

"You sure?"

"Yeah"

"Positive?"

'Yes" he shouted as he grabbed his friend and pushed him against the wall playfully. "I'm fine"

"You sure are..." Zeke whispered as he felt his friends biceps. Strange...

"What?" Justin asked confused.

"Nothing" Zeke shot out nervously as he jumped away from the all so solid arms. "I said nothing, nope, nada, zitch, oh look at the time, we should get on to the meeting now" he said as he hurried away.

Justin watched his friend and then sighed.

What had that been about...?

...

Zeke smiled in glee when the two had returned from their meeting, it had been awesome!

"I still can't believe Chad got issue 1 edition 1 of Alien League Chronicles" Zeke said as he sat down in the sub station.

Justin nodded at that with a bright smile.

"I know, he's so lucky"

"Yeah, because geek comics are so awesome" Alex retorted as she cleaned several tables.

"That's right you clean those properly young lady" Their mom commented from the register.

"Don't listen to her, Zeke" Justin said with a dirty look to Alex. "She just doesn't understand the values of comics"

"The only value they have is serving as paper for paper mache" Alex commented.

"You turned my comics into paper mache again!" Justin hollered as the girl grinned.

"Relax, I didn't touch your lame comics..." Justin then sat back down with a sigh. "I used your science magazines"

"What!"

"She did not" Harper then said as she appeared. "I mean she wanted to, but I stopped her." And as if she needed the proof she dropped all the magazines of Justin's on the table.

"Ugh, thanks Harper" Justin said as he looked at the pile.

"Wow, quite a collection" Zeke commented. Said boy was scanning the pile until something caught his eye.

"What's this?" He asked as he pulled out a picture.

Justin instantly froze and Alex grinned.

The picture was that of Zeke, which was taken last year.

"Why do you have this?" The boy inquired.

"I was going to frame it for you" Justin said back instantly.

"...how did you get it?"

...Indeed...

"I found it" Justin lied as he spotted Alex who was still grinning.

Justin knew for a fact that he kept that picture in his sock drawer, so no doubt that Alex had placed it into the pile knowing for a fact that Harper was going to give it to him when he returned with Zeke.

"Oh" Zeke said silently as he placed the picture back into the pile.

"I-I mean you can take it" Justin stuttered out. "It's not like it's m-mine or anything."

"Nah, you keep it" Zeke said back with a smile. "I have no place to put it, and it'll be safer with you"

Justin blushed a bit and then looked at the table before him.

"Okay" He muttered as Alex continued grinning. Sure her plan didn't go the way she hoped but it did put him on edge, plus now hes embarrassed.

...

Teresa watched the scene from where she stood and smiled sweetly.

The little interaction between her son and friend made her think of something, an old memory of her brother Ernesto hanging out with his best friend, Tomas.

They had been inseparable, and had always got along...even when the times got hard...

She even remembered that day, when her brother had found himself alone...

'...poor Ernesto.'

"Hi" Max suddenly greeted making the woman jump back with a gasp.

"Max" She said as she tried to calm down her racing heart beat. "How many times do I have to you, stop doing that"

Her youngest son just grinned and nodded and dispersed to god knows where.

...

"So, when should we start on the play again?" Harper asked Alex as they sat in the living room of the Russo's home.

"After TV" Alex answered as she kept mindlessly watching the screen while tossing pop corn into her mouth.

"But we still have so much to do" Harper whined to her lazy friend. "Rehearsals, lines, lights, costumes, decor, placements-"

"Okay" Alex said as she shut off the TV reluctantly.

"Good" The girl cheered as she handed Alex a few papers.

"What's this?" The girl asked back as she took another mouth full of pop corn.

"It explains what you have to do"

"What? I have to actually do all this!" The Russo daughter complained.

"Yes, Alex" Harper answered with a smile. "This was all your plan after all"

"But I didn't know it would be so much work"

...

"So then, you say 'We'll always be friends', got it?" Harper asked Justin who nodded. "Okay, good, now action".

Currently the group of four were rehearsing a scene from the script in a now closed sub shop.

The stage had called for a closed set, by Alex, in which not even their parents could enter.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" Zeke asked as he read his lines.

"No...I swear it" Justin said as his line indicated.

"You hesitated"

"No, I didn't"

"Yes, you did. You are lying." Zeke then said.

"No" Justin then said as Harper directed him to move closer to Zeke. "I am not lying...but if you must know something then let it be this...no matter what we'll always be friends"

"And scene" Harper shouted as she smiled proudly.

"Boo" Alex said from where she sat.

"Oh, don't listen to her" Harper said to the two boys. "That was great".

"Thanks" Zeke shot back with a grin before turning around to face Justin. "And you were awesome man" He commented as he pulled the guy into a hug.

Justin instantly tensed as his face grew red.

"Woo" Alex cheered with a laugh. "Now we're getting somewhere"

Zeke pulled back from the hug unfazed by what Alex said and grinned.

"Can't wait till opening night" He shouted.

"Yeah" Alex then said gaining everyone's attention. "Just wait till everybody sees..."

Justin instantly tensed at that and stared at his sister curiously.

"I mean you've done great progress...and now everyone will get to see the whole story play out, from the first lingering hug...to that ending kiss"

And at that moment Justin instantly fell...and he just kept falling.

"Yeah, can't wait" Zeke shouted in glee, not fully aware of what Alex was really getting at.

"Yeah...me neither" Justin mumbled back.

...

And there you go, I hoped you enjoyed it. Please review for more. And sorry for any grammar mistakes.
