Texas Time!

Obvious

Italy drove Tito and Texas back to his house, where they chilled for a bit.

"Hey, Tex, you remember that time we kidnapped you?" Tito asked. Texas laughed.

"Of course... what, you wanna kidnap me again?" Texas asked.

"If you're ok with that, of course," Tito said. Texas smiled.

"I'll call my dad to let him know," Texas said.

"Italo! Is Texas staying over?" Italy called from upstairs.

"Yep!" Tito exclaimed.

"Ok, let him borrow some pajamas! You two must be dying in those suits!" Italy exclaimed.

"Ok!" Tito exclaimed, before leading Texas up to his room and letting him pick out some sleeping attire.

"I forgot your legal name is Italo," Texas said, grabbing a t-shirt and shorts from Tito's closet. Tito shrugged.

"Yeah... it's just not quite me, y'know? And everyone always just calls me Tito anyway," Tito said.

"I think Tito suits you well," Texas said. Tito smiled and nodded.

"It does... it's a bit cutesy though," Tito said.

"Well, another reason why it fits," Texas said. Tito chuckled, making Texas's smile brighten. Texas took off his shirt.

"Oh sh*t are you ok?!" Tito exclaimed. Texas looked at the big bruise on his shoulder.

"Dropped a weight on my shoulder when I was working out the other day... it's not that bad," Texas said casually.

"Damn... you're really getting as fit as possible," Tito said.

"I want to be good enough to exceed the standards for the jr police academy. I mean, why be good enough when I know I can be better?" Texas said.

"...your physical well-being maybe?" Tito said. Texas shrugged.

"Arbitrary," Texas said dismissively. Tito sighed.

"You do you I guess...,"

That night, while watching a movie, Texas started looking sleepy. Tito turned off the TV.

"We should go to bed, you seem exhausted," Tito said. Texas flopped into Tito's arms, throwing a blanket over himself. "This.... Wasn't what I was expecting?" Tito said. Texas smiled, his eyes shut.

"I like it here," Texas said. Tito smiled and nodded, relaxing. "Tito?" Texas said.

"Mhm?" Tito asked.

"Philip told me the strangest thing not too long ago...," Texas said. Tito held his breath, not exactly sure of what to say. "....We Can talk about it later... Goodnight Tito," Texas said. Tito nodded.

"Goodnight...,"
