Knowing My Place

*Owen's pov*
I've been sleeping all day. King's downstairs sleeping on the couch. Who the fuck did I think I was? Farris wheels are for couples. I over stepped. Now I know where I stay.

It was 4:00 in the afternoon I brushed my teeth and took a shower. When I got finished changing, King walked in.
"Wasgud?"

"Nun, just been sleepy."

"True. You tryna play some madden?" He asked. I hesitantly nod.

"Of course." We found a perfect spot and grabbed two controllers and did our thang. King won two times in a row and started wildin. We all know king.

"You big or little mad. Huh?"

"I ain't even mad."

"You look mad." He started getting in my face. "Tell me what imma get for my prize."

"A high five." I put my hand up. He moved it out the way and when it for a kiss. I moved my head to the side so he kissed my cheek.

"Can I get my real kiss now?" No. he aint getting no real kisses. Not anymore.. "you still mad." He sighed and threw his head down.

"I'm not mad. I just know my place."

"Which is?"

"Your friend. I know not to overstep or get out of line." I can respect only if he knows he has to do the same.

"Yo. I'm sorry about yesterday. You're not just my friend. Owen Im tryna be with you. I like it when you over step cause it gets me to do stuff i ain't ever do. Owen i really like you. I was just raised in a place where you can't be this way. When I finish healing, i'll tell my father and handle me and mine. Aight. But for right now, I wanna be the only one to hold you down. Can you be my uhh- you know boyfriend?" He gulps hard. He's such a punk.

"Yeah." I blush and kiss him. I can feel his relief as he kisses me back.
