The two boys entered the comic book cluttered room. "I see you have already broken them in!" Eli remarked.

"Yup. The store down the street was having a sale and-" Adam suddenly remembered that Eli had been hanging out with drew all day, "Why were you with drew and not me?" He squinted a little.

"Well. To make a long story short, He was helping me with a problem." Eli picked nervously at his sharpied thumbnail.

"What kind of problem?" Adam sat down on his bed and gathered up a stack of comics.

"Just... One I'm not supposed to talk about." He scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Why did you talk to drew about it then?"

"He offered and the opportunity was good. He said he wouldn't tell." Eli smirked a little.

"Well why cant you talk to me, your best friend, about it?" Adam put the comics we had gathered into a small cardboard box.

"Do you really want to know?" Eli whined.

"Well, if it was what caused that episode in school today, then sure, why not?" He shrugged.

"Because if I do Fitz will keep bullying us."

"Huh?" Adam was taken aback by the sudden answer to the rhetorical question. "What!"

"If I tell you- you will try to do something about it- and Fitz will figure out I told- and hurt you, Clare, and Morty." Eli frowned, looking into Adam's eyes.

"Uh. I think I should know? Its better he bully us all and not just you."

"Dude," Eli frowned, "I can't. Could we please just let it go for now?"

"I Guess so." Adam shrugged, "Now look a my new comics!" Wow, Adam is good at letting it go.

So the two boys spent a few hours, reading, and talking about comic books and Adams mom interrupted them to tell them to go to sleep and that Eli could stay the night if he wanted.

"Alright!" Adam cheered.

"But you have to go to sleep. Now!" Her voice was stern.

"Okay mom." Adam sighed. She closed the door and the boys heard the distant sound of a different door opening and closing. "Alright, need pajamas?" Adam opened up a drawer of pj pants.

"Naw I'll sleep in my birthday suit." Eli teased.

"Here take these," Adam chuckled as he tossed a pair of black and white plaid pajamas at his face.

"Kay." Eli immediately peeled off his skinny jeans and slipped on the freedom of the pj's. "Ahhh," He sighed," Comfy" he smirked at Adam.

"Go to sleep." Adam tossed a pillow at his face and pulled the guest mattress onto the floor.

Eli kept his eyes closed for a little over an hour and realized that he could not sleep, also that he had to pee. He stood up unsteadily, grabbing onto the doorknob a foot away to stay up. He proceeded out of his sleeping friend's room, and shuffled to the bathroom across the hall. He stumbled into the roomy bathroom and did his business, washing his hands afterwards. As he walked out into the dark hallway, a noise emanated from Drew's room, and he noticed light squeezing its way out from under the door.

Drew heard a soft knock come from his door way, who could it be at this hour? he wondered. "Hn?" He huffed wearily.

"Drew?" A voice whispered from the other side of the wood door.

"Eli? What are you doing awake?" Even his voice in a hush was alluring.

"I just couldn't sleep? Can I come in?" He wondered.

"Yeah. Sure," Eli heard shuffling on the other side of the door, it opened to reveal a perfectly sleepy, bed headed, teenage boy, "Come on." He sighed and pointed to the bed.

"Thanks." Eli shuffled noiselessly over to the bed, he was like a ghost.

"No problem." Drew shut the door and shuffled over to his bed. He lied down and rested his head on his hand. "You can sit if you want." His hand guided over to a computer chair.

"Okay." Eli plopped onto the bed next to Drew and cuddled up in his fluffy comforter.

"That's not exactly what I meant." Drew chuckled nervously.

"Opps." Eli smirked up at the adorable brown haired jock lying next to him. "So what are you doing awake, mister QB?" Eli shifted a little, his hand gently caressing Drew's, causing Eli to blush a little.

"Uh. I couldn't sleep either. All this homework," Drew passed a hand through his spiked bangs.

"Oh? What is it? Maybe I could help?" Eli sat up and grabbed a discarded math book, and in it he saw just what Drew had wanted to keep a secret. The words scribble onto scrap papers and papers of the school owned book, all hate filled words, all about himself. "Your math has a bad case of self hate." Eli looked up into Drew's gleaming brown eyes.

"Its-" He sighed and scratched the back of his head, "I suck at math." He laughed nervously.

"Well, you seem to really hate yourself for it." Eli was flipping through the pages, insults scribbled on every scrap paper he saw. "Wow. This is bad."

"What? My math scores?" He huffed angrily, grinding his teeth a little.

"No..." Eli looked into the angry boys brown eyes, "How such a great person could write all of this stuff about himself." A piece of hair fell in front of Eli's face, but Eli didn't mind it, he just kept staring into those beautiful brown eyes.

"What do you mean? The only thing I'm great at is, girls, and football." Drew was getting a little fierce.

"And being a great brother, and friend." The piece of hair lingered in front of Eli's nose.

"What? I'm a dick! Maybe not to Adam-"

"Or to me." Eli smiled, a small hint of red showing as he grabbed gently onto Drew's warm hand.

"Oh?" Drew used his free hand to remove the chunk of hair from Eli's perfect nose. "But I'm horrible at ma-"
"That doesn't matter, Drew!" Eli shook his head, and looked straight into the others eyes.

"Yes it does! If I don't get good grades I wi-" He was interrupted by soft luxurious lips gently colliding into his, his first instinct was to kiss back but he then realized this is a DUDE kissing me! A dude! He pulled back hastily, "Woah! What's this about?"
"Uhhh." Eli's face flushed red and he hid his face under Drew's blanket. He couldn't believe he had just kissed Drew! His best friends brother! "I don't know what came over me!" He muffled from under the blanket.

"Hm?" Drew joined him under the blanket and held the other teen's chin, "I can't believe I'm going to do this." He whispered as he leaned forward, closing his eyes and embracing the other teens lips with his own. Pulling back he sighed a little, he actually felt something. But why? He doesn't like guys, he likes Ali! His labeled girlfriend. But he felt like there was something there, sparks flew, when he kissed that emo boy lying in front of him.

"It was the same for Eli." He couldn't believe it! But he actually felt something with the jock who was his best friend's brother.

And each of them thought. "What would Adam think?"

Both of the boy's sighed as they realized how tired they were. "Maybe I should get back to Adam's room." Eli yawned, his eyes closing slightly.

"Uh. You seem a but to tired to do anything right now." Eli mumbled something Drew couldn't understand, and his beutiful green eyes shut wearily, his soft breathing became even and he was suddenly cuddling up to the weary jock. "Alright." Drew stood, quietly, picked up the sleeping emo and carried him steadily to his little step-brothers room. Sitting him down quietly, he fixed his blanked removed a piece of hair that had fallen onto his face, and went on his way.

Please! Be a lamb and review!
