Part 1: Loneliness
Warning:: Fluffiness at the end
________

Anthony woke up early the next morning,extremely hungry and deathly thirsty. Tumbling out of bed,he scrambled to his kitchen,searching for a snack and a bottle of water. He returned to his room a few minutes later with two granola bars he had found in the cupboard,and a plastic water bottle left in his fridge. He plopped down at his computer desk,and was alarmed to find about 40 missed calls from the whole of Derp Crew,about 10 from Adam,Max,Nick,and what looked like Ohm. He sighed,and spent the next hour responding and assuring his concerned friends that yes,he was still alive,and no,he didn't want to talk about it just yet.

After he had successfully gone through all the missed calls,he stretched,popping his back in the process. His phone rang from where it was set next to his key board,and the Italian answered without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Did you get some sleep?"

Anthony chuckled at Ze's motherly tone,

"Yes,I did,don't worry."

"I will worry. Have you eaten?"

"Yes,I have,listen,"

Anthony played with the empty wrapper of the first granola bar so Ze would hear,the second one sitting crumpled up next to his mouse.

"Alright,have you cleaned yourself up? You looked like you were living in an apocalypse yesterday."

Anthony scratched the back of his head,smiling sheepishly,

"No,not yet."

"I suggest you do so. I don't want to have to force you into the shower when I get there."

Anthony blushed,darker than he should have,

"Alright Ze,I will take a shower,I promise."

"Alright,well,I just wanted to call while I got the chance. I'm just now getting onto a plane to New York,so I'll be there in an hour or so."

"Sounds good."

"Okay,bye Chilled."

"Bye Ze."

When the call ended,Anthony dragged himself out of his bedroom,yawning,and entered his bathroom. He glanced at the mirror reproachfully,and silently agreed with Ze. He needed a shower.

After taking a refreshingly lazy,35 minute shower,Anthony swiftly got dressed,watching the time. 30 minutes left,come on Anthony,you can survive 30 more minutes.

He sat down at his computer after clothing himself in his favourite pair of jeans and a plain black T-Shirt. He was soon logged into Twitter to find an apocalypse in progress. Death of ChilledChaos seemed to be a popular subject,and he was oddly amused. Feeling humorous,he wrote a small post,

I hear ChilledChaos died. Too bad I couldn't attend the funeral.

He chuckled to himself as immediately he got replies with things like OMG CHILLED LIVES and #CHILLEDCHAOSISALIVE. He decided to go sort out a video to post on YouTube,and resorted to posting a Hide and Seek video that he had edited before Jess left,but never got around to uploading.

Anthony glanced over at the time,and nearly yelped in shock. It was about 8:00,and he realised he needed to pick Ze up,who wasn't all that familiar with New York. He nearly tripped over his own feet as he raced to the front door,pausing only to grab his cell phone and to pull on his shoes. He grabbed his keys off of the kitchen counter,and flung open the front door,closing and locking it behind him in a hurry.

He slid into his car,starting up the engine and backing out of the driveway,hoping he wouldn't be too late.

A small ding alerted Anthony of a text,and he glanced furtively at it.

Hey,I'm at the airport closest to your place,need you to pick me up.

Sighing in relief,Anthony pulled into the airport's parking lot a few minutes later. He tried not to run as he approached the glass doors,which slid open as he got close. Less people than Anthony would've expected milled about in the main room,some with luggage,some searching for someone. But he couldn't see his friend. Ze was nowhere to be found.

The Italian fished his phone out of his pocket,and texted Ze,

Hey,I'm out by the main doors,where are you?

After a few seconds,he got a reply,

Sorry,I was trying to find my stuff,I'll be out in a sec.

True to his word,Ze wandered out into Anthony's vision,a large suitcase trailing behind him. Anthony waved,and soon caught Ze's attention,and he walked over,smiling,but worry lurked in his eyes.

"Hey Chilled!"

"Hey Ze,have a nice flight?"

"It was fine,I guess,"

Ze laughed,which in turn caused Anthony to smile. The other male's cheery atmosphere was contagious,even for Anthony's gloomy state.

"So,are you alright for now?"

"I'm fine,"

Anthony assured him,

"I've taken a shower like you told me to."

"I see that. But your hair's still a mess."

Ze stood up on the tips of his toes,leaning up to ruffle Anthony's hair,smoothing down the curls that stuck out in different angles. Anthony blushed lightly,but kept his head bent as Ze continued to straighten out the Italian's tangled hair.

"Alright,it looks better,"

Ze grinned,and Anthony chuckled,

"Thanks Mom."

Ze rolled his eyes,and they chatted for a bit,making their way to Anthony's car. Once there,Anthony helped Ze load his suitcase into the trunk,and they got in the car,Ze slipping into the passenger's side.

They drove back to Anthony's house,laughing and talking about what Anthony had missed during his "misery week". Upon arriving,Anthony unlocked the front door,welcoming Ze in,closing it behind the Canadian. They put Ze's stuff in Anthony's room,since the guest room needed to be cleaned out.

"Oh yay,the ship is real,"

Ze joked as he realised he would have to spend the night in Anthony's room,

"There is RoyalChaos evidence now."

"Oh yeah,"

Anthony giggled,

"This should be fun."

His previous good mood was slowly fading,and the small pang his heart gave him only reminded him of Jess. It must've shown,because as Anthony refocused on reality,he found Ze hugging him. Blinking in surprise,it took the Italian a few seconds before hugging back,a bit of comfort warming him. Ze looked up at him,and smiled,

"You looked like you needed a hug."
