I can't believe I almost got thirty reviews. I only expected a few, like in my other two NoCo stories! You guys rock!
Ugh. I had major writer's block. Sorry for the late update. I've been busy, too. I'll stop my excuses and write the story now… Oh, and I don't own Noah's last name. I saw several fics with his last name as Dasari and figured I'd use it, too.
Noah was in his bedroom, reading a book, when his sister, Sarah, burst in with a notepad. Izzy and Bailey were trailing behind her. He inwardly groaned. This could not be good.
You see, Noah had eight siblings. Whenever he got away from one, another one came. He had Sarah and Isaiah, the seventeen year-old twins, Norah, who was eighteen, Jeremiah, nineteen, Leah, twenty, Jonah, twenty-two, Delilah, twenty-six, and Jedidiah, twenty-eight. Then there was Noah, who was sixteen and the youngest of the Dasari siblings.
Bailey and Izzy came over a lot, too. Sure, they were his friends, but they annoyed the hell out of Noah. Bailey was usually sent over by Duncan when he got annoyed with her and she asked Izzy to tag along because she said that Noah could be a downer.
"Hi, Noah," said Sarah. They all had creepy smiles on their faces, Izzy was the creepiest.
"What do you guys want?" Noah asked, setting down his book.
"Let's play M.A.S.H.!" exclaimed Izzy. Noah's eyes widened. He calmly got up, walked over to Bailey, as if to tell her something, and ran. He made it to the stairs before Izzy pounced on him, knocking him down. "Don't be a chicken, Noah. Are you afraid of an innocent game?"
Bailey and Sarah started making chicken noises as Izzy sat Noah down. After a few minutes of this, Noah sighed. "Fine."
"Really?" asked Bailey, head tilting slightly to the side. "That was easy."
Sarah grabbed her notebook and wrote, "M.A.S.H." at the top. Then, she wrote the word "Spouse" in one section, underlined it, and looked at Noah. "Two friends, one person you hate, and one person you have a crush on."
"Izzy and Bailey are my 'friends,'" said Noah, making air quotes. Bailey glowered at him while Izzy didn't seem to notice Noah's sarcasm on the word. "I hate Gwen and I don't like anybody."
"BULLSHIT!" yelled Bailey. "But, since you won't tell us, let's put Cody."
"He's a boy," Noah said with a glare.
"So?" said Sarah, giggling. She wrote theword "Cars" and underlined it. "It's funny. Okay, cars."
"Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari," said Noah. His sister sniffed in disgust.
"You have expensive taste," she said. "So, I'll put a Bug for the bad one, okay?" Noah nodded, knowing he wouldn't be able to say no.
"Job," said Bailey, jumping up to look over the taller girl's shoulders. Sarah had already written and underlined the word.
"Doctor, author, geologist, and-" Noah started, but was cut off by Izzy.
"McDonald's worker!" shouted the crazy redhead. Everyone reach up to cover his or her ears
"I thought I was supposed to pick," said Noah pointedly.
Izzy stuck out her tongue as Sarah wrote down the jobs. "Suit color," said his big sister, writing and underlining the word. Then, she flipped her dark brown hair out of her brown eyes.
"Black, white, gray," listed the know-it-all. He tried to think of a bad color so the girls wouldn't choose for him. "And, ugh, pink."
The girls snickered.
"Where you will live," Izzy said, swiping the notebook and pencil from Sarah. Sarah glared and tried to grab it back, only to have Izzy smack her hand away with the notebook. She yelled in pain as it wrote and underlined "Lives."
"Toronto-" said Noah, only to be cut off once again, only this time by Bailey.
"The Sahara Desert," she snickered. Noah put his hand over her mouth, only to yank it back when he felt teeth digging into his palm.
"You bit me!" he yelled.
"You restrained me!" the tomboy retorted. They glared at each other for a while until Izzy waved her hand in front of their faces, breaking the staring contest.
"NOAH! Two more," shouted the psycho.
"New York and Athens," said Noah, turning back to his big sister.
"Number of kids," said Sarah, with Izzy writing and underlining. Noah raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth. "No, you can't say zero. The last number has to at least beat the Duggars."
Sarah glared at nothing. She hated how the Duggars had so many kids. It wasn't healthy for the mother and possibly the children. Nine kids was fine, but nineteen? Ridiculous.
"Twenty, one, two, and three," said Noah, trying not to bother his sister with a super high number. Izzy scribbled the numbers onto the page.
"Now, tell me when to stop," said Izzy.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" said Bailey, snatching the notebook away from the crazy girl. "If we let you make the dashes, there will be at least ten dashes per second! Noah, tell me when to stop."
Five dashes later, Noah told Bailey to stop. Bailey nodded and told Noah how many dashes there were. Five minutes later, Bailey had crossed out the final word.
"Okay," she said. "You are going to marry Cody, drive a bug, work at McDonald's, have a pink suit for your wedding, have twenty kids, and live in an apartment which is in the Sahara Desert. You must have used the adoption option on the kids."
"My life sucks," said Noah.
"Chill, little brother," said Sarah, putting her hand on her brother's shoulder. "It's just a game, but, just to make you happy, we'll re-do it."
Half an hour later, they had used the same answers as last time, but picked a random number.
"You will marry Bailey," Sarah said. Bailey's cheeks tinted a light pink, but her expression looked bored. "Drive a Mercedes, be a successful doctor, have a black suit, have one child, and live in a mansion in Toronto."
"So, Noah," said Izzy, swinging an arm around Noah's shoulders playfully. "Which one do you like better? Life One or Life Two?"
Noah thought about it. Life Two provided a wonderful job, car, and everything, but he realized something. He would rather have Life One, because it had Cody. He liked Cody.
"Life One," Noah said surely, nodding.
"I knew you would pick that," said a new voice. Noah jumped and turned around to see Cody standing in the doorway. Blue eyes met brown eyes and Cody walked over.
"What are you doing here?" Noah asked, a blush visible on his face.
"You said we could play video games," Cody pointed out, smiling. Noah mentally slapped himself. Of course he did. He and Cody had talked on the phone hours before.
Cody walked over to Noah and pressed his lips against the bookworm's. Noah stood there, shocked, for a moment until slipping his arms around Cody's waist and deepening the kiss, adding more passion. Cody flung his arms around the taller boy's neck and Noah smirked into the kiss. It stayed like this for about three minutes.
"Awwww!" squealed Sarah, making the two boys jump apart. "I knew you two would end up together!"
Both boys blushed as Izzy and Bailey started to drag Sarah out of the room with them.
"Let's go," said Izzy. Bailey grunted in agreement, pushing Sarah.
"Okay, okay! I'm going!" said Sarah, following Izzy out. Bailey shut the door behind them as the two boys smiled at each other and hugged, neither wanting to ever let go.
What do you think? Good? Bad? Makes you want to play M.A.S.H.? Sorry I'm adding Bailey so much. She will not be in the next chapter. Oh, and I have nothing against the Duggars.
I feel bad. Every time Noah and Cody kiss, they get interrupted. Should I let them kiss in peace next chapter? You tell me.
