// Stan's POV //

The final school bell rang and we left the school. We decided to take a shortcut together, so we could get home faster to play the new game we got. As soon as we got home, we waved goodbye to each other from the doorway. I was really excited to play a game with him since we haven't been able to because of homework.

I know it's wrong to have feelings for your best friend.. but I just can't help it! I love everything about him, his eyes, his face, etc.

We got on the game and I was the host, so when he joined, I started the game. Kyle was actually like a boss at this game, it's like he made it! I can't even describe how good he was, or maybe I just literally sucked at the game.

I just was really happy that I got to hang out with Kyle out of school for a few hours, even if that meant on game, it was still worth it.

// Kyle's POV //

I was playing a game with Stan, when the game ended, I won. He kinda sucked at the game a little bit if I'm being honest, but I still loved playing this game with him. We were going to start another game, but then my mom called for me from downstairs.

"I'll be right back Stan"
"Ok!"

I go downstairs and I see my mom in the kitchen. "It's time to do chores, can you tell Ike to come down to do his? Me and your father are going out to eat as well."
I was a little upset that I wouldn't be able to play with Stan for a while. I nod, and I go upstairs to tell Ike it's chore day, then I go to my room and I tell Stan the news. He sounded pretty upset, and I was still upset that the time we can finally hang out after school again, was taken again.

I go downstairs after that, and I start to do the dishes, my first chore. Once I was done with the dishes, I vacuumed and mopped, and since it was a shorter chore day, it took less time. Ike had to dry the dishes and put them away with his stool so that he could reach the cabinets.

He took pretty long with that chore, so it took us about the same time to do all of this in a way.

I realized it was 9:56 and we had to go to bed at 10:00 because we had a math test tomorrow. I had to tell Ike to get off his iPad and get ready for bed. Surprisingly, he didn't throw a fit, and he actually got up and got ready for bed, going to the bathroom to brush his teeth first.

I went to my room and I sat down, I tried to fall asleep, until I heard 'ding!' I checked my phone and Stan texted me.

SBF❤️: Sup dude

Me: Hello 🙂 I need to be asleep right now

SBF❤️: Oh ok sorry, goodnight!

Me: don't be sorry, and goodnight!

I tried to fall asleep, but I could only think about Stan.. Stan was so lucky to be the most perfect person in the whole world.. I loved how amazing and kind he was to me, he treated me like I was a rare diamond, he treated me with care and respect.. I just couldn't put a limit to how happy he's made me throughout these years.. Why can't I just tell him that I like him?

I was finally able to fall asleep after 30 minutes of thinking about him.

// Stan's POV //

I look at my clock, '12:45am' great, just perfect. I was supposed to be asleep way earlier so that I could actually fall asleep. I could barely think about anything, I could only think of Kyle. I just couldn't get him out of my head. I realized that Kyle didn't throw away all my alcohol bottles, I hid one under my bed in the shaft. I didn't want to do it, but I just.. had to.
