Chp.(er) 10 - Zany Zerka (Renewal?)

Start from the beginning
                                    

As they wandered around Josh spent his time moving his thoughts from the task on hand (because he did need a new shelf and he wanted a kitchen chair that was his) to each of his sidemen.

While it was something that was joked about Josh did have a sort of parental oversight when it came to everyone's happiness, he was the first one to click when something had gone wrong for someone and was good at understanding what to do to make each enjoy themselves for a time.

That's why he was here today and he knew it really, this was small little Vikks day, going out on an adventure with his companion. It wasn't that Josh felt Vikk had been particularly sad.. No. That he could be happier, and adventures and time with Harry away from a group did that.

He wondered a little bit about why it was that Harry and Vikk affected each other uniquely, each sideman inevitably had different flows, but these two, he couldn't put his finger on just why they got on so well.

He wonder this particularly the number of times Harry managed to get stuck in strange, random places. (while the duo found it hilarious Harry got stuck climing into a bin, Josh would beg to differ).

There were points the two ran off like children, exploring, showing off finds to the other. Go pros in tow only a few times he noticed, which was good. While being together in a vlog is good, they got more out of each other without the camera and public implications.

There were points where they quietend and calmed to Josh's surprise. When they were choosing Harry an alarm clock they seemed to move their heads close, talked gently and shuffle along the range besides each other. (probably closer and more intimate that they knew Josh suspected)

It was also a tad like Josh was third wheeling, they talked to him a lot while they picked his chair and shelf, a few other times for opinions on things. He didn't mind however, like when they went to the in store restaurant and it was almost entirely packed with only tables for two left open, Josh volunteered to eat alone.

It's to be said he was joined by a woman with a colourful personality in her mid 60s did come and join him. Telling him a lot about how she used to train pigeons as homeing birds. And relentlessly fuck the mail man behind their carry crates at least once a month (Josh didn't ask why he needed to know that)

Even though he was the "escort" on this day, Josh still found himself surprised as the hours melted away with seeming haste. However trying to stop Harry from accidentally maiming Vikk in the flat pack warehouse bit was a chore.

One of Josh's highlights of the day was when their expedition realised one of their flat pack pieces needed to be almost the length of his car and watch with Vikk as Harry attempted to fold down the front passenger seat and the one behind it to "prove he could do it himself".

Once everything was purchased in the car and secure Josh realised Harry and Vikk had agreed on which one of them would sit in the middle seat (because the planks rendered the other seat useless) gotten in the car and ended up splitting two cookies (different flavours, both getting half of each type that way) without any word. Theyd just agreed and sorted themselves out.

Going back was a much less eventful experience, Josh drove quicker down a more direct route, Harry and Vikk were tired and mostly sat in comfortable silence (and a few moments of light slumber) but Josh still found it nice.

The only real "event" came when Harry got a text from the Cals, saying theyd gone out and wouldn't be back when Harry did. This wouldn't have affected anything if Harry had brought his house keys.

After a time Josh forgot and after too many texts and an idea from someone (Josh couldn't remeber, maybe Tobi) it was decided that Harry would just stay at the Sidemen house for the night and borrow clothes.

He'd done it plenty of times and him and Vikk weren't hugely different sizes so them swapping garments from time to time wasn't absurd but when this was decided on Josh felt weird vibes from the two in the passenger seat. For a while after they seemed to suddenly become ever so slightly less comfortable with their proximity, Vikk (who was in the middle) shuffled closer to the planks and Harry leant back into the door.

It seemed to have dissipated by the time he was Simon stood in their front door raising an eyebrow after the duo had rushed past him, naturally leaving all the unpacking.

However Vikk handed Josh a bowl of cereal as he walked into the kitchen so Josh forgave the two. "It was Vikks day let's not end it with heavy lifting" he ended up saying to a still confused looking Simon, who promptly looked more confused.
