A/N: Thanks to everyone for the reviews. Strong Language.

"Andrew?" Matt asked.

Andrew groaned as he got up off the floor. The magic of having steve back was ruined. He opened the door before his dad woke up and went nuts. "Andrew what the fuck's going on?" His cousin asked. Andrew shrugged his shoulders and followed Matt to his room. "Matt...I need to tell you something..." Andrew said as Matt began to open the door. "Boo!" Steve said pouncing out in front of Matt. "Fuck!" Matt yelled. "Yeah, that's what you call a prank from beyond the grave" Steve said sitting on Andrew's bed.

"Steve...What?...How?..." Matt began looking at Steve, then Andrew. "Andrew when were you gonna tell me?" He asked. "Don't get mad, it's hard for anyone to handle this, even brainy Detmer" Steve said. "Come on Steve I'll take you back to your place" Matt said. Andrew's heart sunk. Typical Matt. As soon as Andrew felt like he had Steve all to himself, Matt was ready to take Steve away. It wasn't fair. "Matt I can't face them now. I need to get my story straight" Steve said. "I'm gonna stay at Andrew's until morning, then see my folks" Steve said.

"Well, if you're staying, I'm staying here too" Matt said taking his Jacket off and putting it on Andrew's computer chair. Matt and Steve both took Andrew's bed. Andrew stayed on the floor trying to sleep while Matt was trying to understand how Steve cheated death. "I thought Andrew's storm was just too fucking powerful?" Matt asked. "I woke up and I'm groggy and in a casket. Bugs are crawling up my nose and my mouth's full of dirt, and those were the good points" Steve said. "I got the hell out of the grave and was laying low until Detective Detmer found me" Steve said.

"What was Andrew doing out that late anyway?" Matt asked. "He was feeling like hell about the storm" Steve said defending him. "God he's so selfish. If he'd pulled himself together and grew up, there wouldn't have been a storm. You wouldn't have gone through all of this..." Matt said. "Matt let's just, go to sleep okay, I've got a big day tomorrow" Steve said as Matt turned his feet towards the headboard and the boys slept top to tail. "Night Matt, Night Steve" Andrew said. "Shut up Andrew" Matt whispered. "Let's all shut up...night guys" Steve said as Andrew drifted off into a sleep of guilty awkwardness.

Andrew woke up in the morning to find Matt and Steve gone. There were so many things that Andrew wanted to say to Steve but couldn't. Maybe it would be better at school. He was wrong. Matt picked him up as usual and there was a huge crowd of people near the entrance. Andrew got pushed and shoved and made his way near the front. Steve was there talking to guys that wanted to know what the chicks in heaven were like and Girls that wanted to touch Steve to make sure that he wasn't a ghost.

"Ladies Ladies please, you can touch me anywhere you want after class" Steve said. After the crowd were separated by teachers, a school assembly was held. The principal announced that Steve was alive and well and that details of his recovery were confidential. Anyone that asked Steve about his trauma was to be suspended until further notice. That kept the questioning kids away and Andrew and Matt were able to talk to Steve in class in peace. "Pity that didn't last" Steve said at break-time. "It was cool to be a celebrity for a while"

"No change there" Andrew said taking a bite out of his sandwich. "So? Are you jealous Andrew?" Matt asked. "Everyone should be jealous of us. I mean we still have you know what" Steve said grinning. "Yeah, anytime you wanna come round to mine Steve, it's cool" Matt said. "Thanks" Steve said getting up as a girl came towards him. "Tina..hey" Steve said walking up to the girl who used to be his girlfriend and giving her a hug. "Stevie I missed you so much" Tina said kissing him on the cheek. Unable to deal with the girlfriend reunion happening right in front of his face, Andrew excused himself and went to the toilets.

He kept his head in books all day and told his father that he was gonna take a walk around. "Walk? You may as well get me some soda while you're out" His father said. Andrew was left waiting for his Dad to give him the money. "Don't pretend that you're broke Andrew" His father said. "I'll check every drawer in your fucking room if I have to" Andrew went to his room, got some money and went to the store. He got his Dad's soda, potato chips and chocolate for himself. He then went to the quietest that place he could find. His and Steve's lunch spot.

He looked down at the buildings wondering where Steve was and if he was with Tina. He should have said something when Steve put him on the spot, when they were alone in his room. he was such a coward. But Steve knew that already.

"Got a potato chip going spare?" Steve asked. "Sorry I scared you" Steve said watching Andrew's frightened face.

"Can't you just text me like you used to?" Andrew asked.

"Me and Tina. We're more like friends now" Steve said. "I'm just glad that I get to spend time with her" Steve said.

"You don't have to explain it" Andrew said. "Who you date...it's got nothing to do with me" Andrew lied shrugging.

"The Friendship card...nice" Steve said sitting down. Andrew liked having Steve here alone. No interruptions, no school, no teachers, no other kids queuing up to see Steve, no girlfriends and no Matt. "Matt wants to meet up" Steve told him. "He wants to test our powers, you know, to keep them in check" Steve said. "He told you first" Andrew noted. "He didn't tell me. Do you like Matt better now?" Andrew asked. "Andrew, Matt's your freaking cousin, he's always gonna like you better" Steve said. Andrew passed him the potato chip bag and Steve took a couple and passed the bag back. Andrew's heart was beating faster as their fingertips touched.

"Time for a soda?" Steve asked pointing at the six-pack of soda by Andrew's leg. "No" Andrew said pulling the soda pack closer towards him.

"Come on, we'll do a "Cheers" for my first day back at school" Steve said.

"No, these are my Dad's sodas" Andrew said.

"Detmer your Dad won't mind" Steve said with a smile. He leaned towards Andrew but Andrew grabbed the cans and stood up.

"Won't mind? You don't know my Dad Steve. You don't know me either" Andrew said, running of the building ledge and keeping his Dad's can's under his arms until he reached the ground. His mobile phone was ringing. He ignored the calls from Steve and a hour later he answered a random call from his cousin.

"Hey" Andrew said.

"Andrew what the hell did you do to Steve?" Matt asked.

"What?" Andrew asked.

"Steve said that you two met up alone. Now, he's bleeding. What the fuck did you do to Steve Andrew?" Matt asked, violent accusations poisoning his voice.
