Some days felt different.
Even if everything was just the same, some days just felt different.
Dean had woken up at the usual time, taken a shower, eaten breakfast with his mother and driven to the university. There, his everyday company waited for him in the usual spot.
But it felt different.
It was like something was supposed to happen that day like something was impendent, but he had no idea of what it was.
Regardless of the uneasiness, he was happy when he exited the car and Blake smiled at him just as he did every day.
- Hey, bunny boy. - the smiling man greeted, jumping down the sidewalk with a small hop. - Did you bring it?
- Good morning, Blake. - he greeted, smiling back while holding up his backpack so he could search inside. - I did.
Seconds later, the heir retrieved a phone with a cracked screen, extending it to his owner.
- Thank you, man. - the other grabbed the gadget with one hand, while the other scratched the back of his head. - I almost freaked out when I saw it was missing.
Dean snickered internally, imagining the scene.
The previous day, Blake had spent part of the afternoon and evening at Dean's house, like it had become rule ever since starting the volunteering work, a week before. Every day they would spend up to two hours helping the drama club, before making their way to Dean's house where they occupied most of their time studying, although there was some stolen time here and there for conversation or snacking, before Blake was, eventually, returned to campus on time for dinner.
Dean couldn't, and would probably never, put into words how much that extra time between them meant to him. The simple notion that he would get to spend even more time with his friend made all the volunteer work and constant stress payoff.
Looking now at the phone, Dean had to hide his smile when he remembered something.
