"Javie..."
Carson cries.
"Carsy.." Javi looked at Carson sympathetically.
Carson called in the middle of the night. In about 1am.
He couldn't sleep.
[ Ringing... ]
He decided to call his friends, even though he knew they were already sleeping.
He really thought no ones going to answer, and he'll just end up staring at the screen that says 'Ringing...' for awhile, leaving him to his thoughts.
Carson looked down at his lap. He didn't exactly know why he felt so sad, he was used to his daddy leaving the house every once and awhile because of work.
But the thought of him leaving him with another man makes him feel sick to his stomach.
He felt sad. He felt angry.
But he knew he couldn't do anything about it, but to trust his daddy.
He wouldn't do that to me.
He felt a cold breeze, which made him hug himself.
I trust him.
He was too busy with his thoughts, he didn't even notice that someone was staring at him through the screen.
[ A friend has joined the videocall! :) ]
Javi answered.
Apparently he couldn't sleep too.
He felt so guilty, he blamed himself for what happened.
It was his fault Caleb got upset.
He just couldn't sleep with that guilt in his chest.
He was also lost in thought, but when one of his friends called, he snapped out of it.
It's 1am, who could be calling at this hour?
He answered the call, thinking something might be wrong.
Once he picked up, he saw Carson.
He was sitting by himself in the dark, looking down in his lap.
He was also super quiet.
The whole situation creeped Javi out.
Carson isn't like this, and he knows it.
He stared at him for a few seconds, scared to talk.
Javi didn't know what to do.
Carson finally looks up, which made Javi jump in fright.
He looks like shit.
His eyes look swollen, hair all over the place, and his stair gave Javi the chills.
His fear became into sadness when he saw his friend cry.
"Javie.."
His voice sounded broken.
What happened?
"Carsy.."
I gulped. "W-what's the matter?"
"Daddy.."
That was all that Carson said.
Him again? Seriously?
It's always him, him that always made Carsy cry.
What is wrong with that dude.
Javi didn't know what to say, so he just smiled sadly. "Me too."
Carson gives him a look. "What do you mean?"
Javi just laughs dryly. "We also fought, my caregiver i mean."
Carson stares at him for awhile. "Is that why he came here?"
Javi's smile dropped. "W-what?"
Carson continued to stare at him, not blinking, which concerned Javi. "He left with my daddy, and haven't come back yet." Carson deadpans.
Javi didn't know how to feel about that.
I mean, he been knew that Caleb and Justin were friends, so they were just probably cheering each other up.
Probably getting drunk somewhere.
"Did he say to you where they would be going?"
Carson shakes his head.
I assumed in a bar, but which bar?
"Hey, Carson." Javi calls out for the other.
Carson looks up, silently saying a 'what?'
"Wanna go have an adventure?" Javi says with a grin.
Carson looks confused. "What adventure?"
"Let's find them."
Carson looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Are you nuts? It's 1 in the morning, and how would we know where they could be?" Carson said, tired.
"At a bar."
"Which one?"
"..."
"Exactly what I was saying, we don't know."
Carson was about to lie down and sleep, and just forget about everything.
"C'mon! Don't you want to know where your daddy is? If both of our daddies get drunk then they wouldn't be able to come home. Both couldn't drive." Javi desperately tries to convince the latter.
He wanted to find where Caleb was right at this moment.
And also he wanted to have a little adventure.
"And I assume you could?" Carson joked.
"Yes actually." Javi said proudly.
Carson was surprised to hear this. "Wait, you can drive?"
"Yep." He gives his friend a proud smile.
Carson rolls his eyes. "That doesn't mean it could help us."
Javi's smile dropped. "What do you mean? I could drive around the—"
"We don't have a car to use." Carson cuts him off. "It's useless if we don't even have a car."
Javi started to think.
"Whose car did they use?"
"My daddy's." Carson replied.
Javi frowned.
Think. Think. Think!
Carson wasn't really giving an effort thinking about this.
He really isn't going to go through with it.
There is no way he is going to–
Wait a minute.
Javi sees Carson's eyes widen.
"What?–"
"Caleb's car!" Carson excitedly exclaimed, jumping from where he sat.
Javi raises an eyebrow.
Carson quickly stands up despite from his tired state, and looked out his window to see Caleb's car still in the drive way.
He runs back to his laptop, grabbing it.
"I'm going to check something, and I'm taking you with me." Carson said and hurriedly went out of the room.
Javi was confused.
Carson opened the lights so the house doesn't look so dark and creepy anymore.
He went down the stairs, almost slipping and dropping the laptop.
Javi didn't know why but he felt like he was the one about to fall from Carson's hand.
"Oops! Sorry," Carson practically apologize to the computer.
Javi heard Carson panting as he runs. "Calm down, we're not in a hurry."
Carson ignores him as he goes to the kitchen. To see Caleb's keys and phone on the table.
Yes!
Good thing that guy was a freaking moron! Idiot freaking left his phone and keys behind.
He thinks as he grabs the keys and phone from the table while laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Javi asks the other. Javi was starting to think Carson was going crazy or something.
"Look at what I found,"
Carson shows Javi the keys.
"Keys?"
"To Caleb's car, duh!" Carson rolls his eyes.
"He left it there? What an idiot.." Javi admits and facepalms.
"We're thinking the same thing." Carson laughs.
••
Caleb suddenly sneezes really loudly, which startled a few people around him.
"You okay?" Justin asks as he takes another sip in his cup.
"Yeah.." Caleb shifts from his seat.
"I just feel like someone's talking about me."
Caleb takes another shot.
••
"Now what?" Carson said, getting back upstairs.
"So.. we got a car now?"
Carson nods.
"So you agree now? You totally in?"
"Yeah, and I'm excited!" Carson jumping excitedly while going to his room.
"Woah there. We can not, and I repeat, we can not be little during this. This is serious stuff for big boys."
"Yeah!" Carson almost screams, hyping up.
Javi gives him a look.
"Oh, sorry. Got a little excited." Carson gives him an apologetic look.
"Alright, it's decided!"
Javi gets up from bed.
"What are you doing?" Carson asks as he sees Javi go to his closet.
"I've been waiting to wear these babies for a long time, might as well wear them today and look like a badass." Javi said, rummaging through his closet.
Carson gives him a weird. "This isn't some kind of movie, Jav. We're just going to get our mans, no need to grab attention of the whole bar by dressing up."
"C'mon, let me have this." Javi looks at the laptop with a pout on his face.
"Okay, fine, do what you want." Carson rolls his eyes. Seriously, how many times does he need to roll his eyes.
[ A friend has joined the videocall! :) ]
"Hey guys!– What are you up to?"
Both Javi and Carson looks at Dan.
"Mission." Javi says as he goes back to rummaging his clothes.
"Mission? That sounds fun!" Dan claps his hands in excitement.
"It's not supposed to be fun, this is serious stuff. Right, Jav?"
"Yep," Javi responds, not looking at them.
Their friend frowns.
"We are getting our mans tonight." Carson explained.
"Why? What happened?"
"Well–"
"I fucking found it!" Javi screams as he pulls another set of clothes out of his closet aggressively.
Dan jumped in surprise. "H-he cursed." He gasped dramatically, putting his hands on his mouth while making a shocked face.
Carson just shrugs. "Are you little right now?"
Dan nods. "Yeah, why? You aren't?"
"Nope."
They both see Javi run off to somewhere with some clothes.
"By the way, why aren't you sleeping?" Carson asked the little.
"I wasn't feeling sleepy so I snuck out of the room. Daddy is a heavy sleeper so it was easy to get away without him waking up." Dan laughs.
"Oh, why couldn't you sleep?"
"I was watching Stranger Things, but I wasn't able to finish it because daddy said its already bedtime. I couldn't sleep without knowing what's going to happen next so, yeah." Dan rambles.
Carson lets out a 'M-hm', not really listening to him.
"You know what, I'm going to dress up too, so excuse me for a sec–" Carson stands up going to Justin's wardrobe.
"Okay?" Dan says, completely confused of the whole situation.
Both Carson and Javi are now off camera.
What the hell is going on?
••
Carson's POV
I open Justin's wardrobe, looking for a cool outfit to wear.
I took out a black t-shirt and ripped jeans
I strip off my current clothes and replaced them with what I took.
I figured it was cold outside so I tried to find a jacket.
I found a black leather jacket and put it on.
I look in the mirror.
Goddamn, who is you?
I smiled at my reflection.
I look so different, I don't even look like a little.
I was still wearing socks though, I'll have to pick out shoes downstairs where dadd– Justin placed them.
I quickly went downstairs to get some shoes that were near the front door.
I crouched down to pick out one pair.
I chose the black one.
It looks so neat and snazzy.
What am I saying-
I put them on and went to the nearest body mirror.
Now I look complete.
Or not..
My hair was still messy.
Gotta style that up.
I go back upstairs.
Damn these up and downs..
I go to our bathroom and see hair gel.
I took some in my hands and started styling my hair.
My hand going through my hair in repeat, making an effort to make it look at least good.
When I was finally satisfied with the look, I smirked.
I definitely look badass.
I bet Javi doesn't look as badass as me.
I give my reflection one last look before going to the bed where my laptop was.
I was whistling, trying not to smirk.
"Woah, you look awesome!" Dan says while looking at me, eyes practically twinkling.
I smirked then held my jacket, pulling it a bit.
I looked at the screen.
What the hell?
"Is that a dragon onesie?"
Dan blushes. "I-i thought we were playing dress up.."
He then pouted. "You guys didn't tell me what theme! So I figured, maybe something like in fairytales, so, I got my dino onesie!"
I give him a weird look. "We're not playing dress up, Dan. And I'm pretty sure that's a dragon, not a dino." I argue with him.
"And that's where you are wrong! Clearly, this is a dino." Dan crosses his arms and made a disapproving look.
"Uhm, I don't think so?" I insisted.
••
Javi's POV
Carson's going to be so jealous lol.
I look at the mirror, grinning like an idiot.
My outfit was all black, and I changed my hair a bit.
It was like, messy in some way but attractive, y'know?
Anddddd I kind of did something to add it up..
I took a marker and drew a little heart oh the side of my face, near the eye almost.
And I thought I looked pretty cool okay?
I breathe in and out.
It's my time to shine.
I go out of the bathroom and show myself in front of my laptop.
I heard Carson and Dan arguing but immediately stopped when they saw me.
I looked at Carson, and he looked at me.
He was also dressed up.
Why you copy me?–
"So cool!" Dan squeals.
I look at him, smiling shyly.
"Really? I thought it was cool too." I giggle.
"You don't look bad yourself, Carson. I see you also dressed up." I say with a smile.
"You too," Carson grins back.
"I wanna be cool too," Dan pouts.
Carson shifts his eyes to the little who was still wearing a dino onesie.
He was the only one looking all cute right now, while the other two look so styled up.
"I wish we could take you with us.." I pout.
It'd be so cool!
"Yeah.. me too.." Dan also pouts.
"Why don't we?" Carson said, raising an eyebrow.
"We don't even know where he lives! And it might be far from us anyways." I explain.
Dan pouts even more.
"Why don't we ask where he lives then?"
"That'd be creepy!" I retort back.
"Guys.."
Both Javi and Carson looks at Dan.
Dan then suddenly tells them where he lives, but not his exact address, just to be safe.
He told the street though.
Both Javi's and Carson's eyes widen. "Dude, that is literally close to us!" Carson said, 'in a matter of fact' tone.
"Then let's take him with us! Three of us should share our adventures!" I said, pretty excitedly.
"Yay!" Dan jumps in happiness.
"But remember, you should not be little." Carson says strictly.
Dan stops jumping and saluted. "Yes, sir!"
"Good." Carson nodded.
"I'll get going," I say, about to hang up.
"Where?" Carson asked.
"To your place?" I deadpanned.
"Oh, you're right. I can't drive." Carson laughs awkwardly.
"You're just gonna walk?" Dan asks me.
"No? I'm bringing my bike with me."
"You have a bike?" Carson asks.
Too many questions–
"Yes! Now let me go now please." I roll my eyes.
"Wait! One more thing," Carson said, also standing up.
"What?"
"Y'know where my house is?"
I nod. "Yeah, I've went there already, remember?"
"Oh, right."
"Why do I feel so left out?" Dan finally speaks.
I laugh. "Don't worry, Dan. Now that we know you're close by, we'll be hanging around everyday."
"Yeah." Carson agrees.
Dan just smiles back at us. "Cool."
"Not feeling little anymore?" I ask.
He shakes his head. "Serious. Remember?" He smirks.
How did he learn to smirk like that? It looks attractive–
"I gotta go now guys, times running fast."
"Alright."
"Okay."
They waved at me and I waved back before hanging up.
First I got my phone and wallet of course, then went out to my bike.
Then I started peddling.
••
"Should I change too?" Dan asks, looking down at what he's wearing.
"Depends on you." Carson said while trying to open Caleb's phone, but it had a password so he couldn't open it.
"I should." Dan hesitates. "I'll get in real big trouble though."
"That's nice." Carson said, not really paying attention.
Dan frowns.
"I should probably see if Javi has already arrived." Carson grabs his laptop.
"Where do you live again?" Carson asks, totally forgetting.
Dan tells him the complete address this time.
"Alright, noted." Carson nods.
Dan nods back.
"See ya there, bye." Carson waves.
Dan waves back.
Carson then finally hangs up.
He runs downstairs.
He opens the front door to look outside.
And as if on cue, Javi comes into view.
"Yo!" Carson greets Javi.
Javi stops and parked his blue bike near the door.
Javi fist bumps Carson while grinning. "Hey,"
Carson tosses him Caleb's keys, which he barely caught.
"Ready to roll?"
Javi smirks. "You bet."
••
Dan's POV
I was sitting around, waiting for those two dorks to get here.
I sure hope they aren't lost right now.
And it's getting hot, or maybe it's just this stupid dino onesie I'm wearing.
When did I ever call my dino onesie stupid?
Well that just proves I'm not in little space right now.
I put away my laptop, and just sat on the couch in about a few minutes before I heard knocks on the door.
I was about to open it, but decided to ask who it was first.
"Who is it?"
"It's us, idiot!" I hear Carson scream from the other side of the door.
I open the door and huffed. "Asshole."
"You're going with us wearing that?" Carson retorted back, looking at Dan up and down with a joking judgemental look.
"You jerk–" He was about to hit a grinning Carson when Javi suddenly spoke.
"Knock it off, guys." Javi glared at the both of them.
Dan stops, glaring daggers at Carson.
"Want to change?"
Dan looks at Javi and nods.
"My clothes are all upstairs though in my room. We should be quiet though, Mike is just right next door."
They quietly go upstairs, trying not to make a sound.
Javi was first up, he looked around.
It was dark but he could see a few doors.
He turned around about to ask Dan where his room was but instead was met by an unpleasant sound of bickering.
Javi got mad and decided to knock both of their heads together.
"Ow!"
They both look at Javi while rubbing their heads.
Javi was practically fuming out smoke through his ears from anger.
"Are you guys fucking serious right now?!" Javi almost screams at both of them.
"Sorry." They quickly apologize.
Angry Javi is scary.
"Where the fuck is your room?"
Dan leads them down the hall and slowly opened the door to the left.
"We need to be quiet, these walls are thin." Dan says, specifically to Carson.
"Didn't you say your daddy was a heavy sleeper?" Carson said out loud anyway.
Javi hits him on the back of the head.
"I was just saying, because I know a certain someone that just won't shut up." Dan aggressively whispers to Carson.
Javi opens the lights.
"Let's go get the clothes already damnit–" Javi orders, voice soft.
"Yes, sir." Both Dan and Carson obliges.
Dan goes to the wardrobe, Carson following behind him, while Javi sits on the bed.
"Guys, hurry up please, we don't got all day." Javi says to the two that was looking through the wardrobe.
"Get out, dude!" Dan slightly pushes Carson.
"Bruh? I'm literally trying to find you something cool to wear and you gon push me like this? That ain't cool."
"I can find something for myself thank you very much!—"
Dan then blocked Carson's way so he couldn't see through the wardrobe.
"What the fuck? Prick—"
They start to argue again.
Javi just watches them. What the fuck is wrong with these two.
"Guys, I'm really starting to lose my patience here. If you guys start making noise I will rip both of your fucking heads off, I swear to god."
They stop bickering.
Carson decided to just leave Daniel alone and sit beside Javi.
Dan quickly picks out something simple and cute, he didn't want his friends to wait any longer.
He smiles at his choice of clothes and turned to his friends. "Guys, close your eyes please."
Javi did as told.
Carson rolls his eyes before obeying.
They both hear stripping noises which made Carson whistle.
"Shut up."
Carson laughs at Dan's annoyed voice.
"Okay, all set!"
They finally opened their eyes to see Dan's new outfit.
"Ew what are you wearing?"
Javi elbows Carson which made him wince in pain.
"It's cute." Javi smiles at Dan.
"Really?" Dan's eyes brightens.
Javi nods before saying, "Let's go," and stood up.
Javi turns the light off and they were about to leave but Dan stopped them. "Wait, wait! I need to do something, just in case."
Dan goes to his bed and grabbed some pillows.
"What are you doing?" Carson asks as Dan started arranging the pillows in a certain order.
Dan then covers them all with his colorful blanket.
When you see it from afar it kinda looks like someone's laying there, sleeping.
"Genius." Carson says as he lifts his hand, planning to high-five Dan.
"I know," Dan smirks as he walks pass Carson, ignoring his high-five.
"Well, okay," Carson instead high-fived himself.
They were about to leave the door but then they heard a voice outside, specifically, in the hall.
"Who's there?"
They all froze.
They all looked at each other with wide eyes.
"He has a bat, I just know it." Dan bites his lip.
Both Javi and Carson looks at him, eyes showing fear.
"I thought he was a heavy sleeper?" Javi whispers to Dan.
"He is! But sometimes he just wakes up in the middle of the night for some reason, I don't know why!" Dan whispers back in defense.
"I know you're in here somewhere." He heard Mike opening doors from outside.
They all panicked.
"We're fucked." Carson whispers, scared out of his pants.
"We need to get out of here before he recognize one of us," Javi says, slightly opening the door open.
It made a slight creaking sound which made Javi curse through his teeth.
Mike snapped at their direction. When he sees nothing, he ignores it. Which made them sigh in relief.
"We need to run." Javi says to the both of them.
"He's going to hit us!" Carson whispers back aggressively, remembering the bat Dan has mentioned.
"Just run as fast as you can through the door. We left the door open remember? Good thing I forgot to close that shit earlier." Javi says, getting ready to open the door completely so the three of them would make a run for it.
"I don't like this." Carson says, feeling like he was about to throw up.
"In 1.." Javi whispers as he hears slow footsteps going for the door next to them.
"2.." They hear that door open, then instantly close right after.
Carson was sweating bullets.
"3.." They hear grunting. "Where is this guy." Mike says groggily.
"Go..!" Javi opens the door and runs.
The two followed behind him.
When Mike saw them, his eyes go wide.
He couldn't see their faces because it was dark.
He swings the bat at their direction, more like going to Carson's direction.
Carson ducks down his head and screams as he barely missed getting hit right in the head.
"Hey!– come back here!–"
Mike runs after them.
"Shit, shit, shit!" Carson freaks out.
As they were at the door, Dan, who was the last one to leave, closes the door behind him.
He then heard a thump sound.
"Sorry, daddy!" He quickly whispers before running to the car.
"Fucking start the car!" Carson practically screams at Javi, his voice sounding higher in fear.
Javi starts the car and drove off just before Mike opened the door.
"Hey! Come back here you assholes!" He screams weakly, holding his nose.
••
"That was fun!" Javi laughs.
It was his first time experiencing something intense that made him feel the unfamiliar feeling of adrenaline that made his heart beat faster in anticipation and anxiety.
"Easy for you to say. You weren't the one who almost got hit with a bat!" Carson retorted, his heart still beating fast as he recalls the incident.
Dan just laughs at him.
"Now let's start searchin'." Javi says, not able to remove the grin off his face.
"By the way, Jav. Here's Caleb's phone, he left it at my house." Carson hands over Caleb's phone to Javi.
"I wasn't able to open it because of the password. You know his password?"
Javi nods his head, eyes still focus on the road. "Yeah, actually."
He looks at the phone's screen to see an unread text message from Joe Mama.
He hands the phone to Dan at the back.
"Open it, the password is 321123."
Dan does what he's told and inserted the password.
"Read the text message, the unread one."
Dan opens up the message icon and reads the message out loud.
"Caleb where are you? Are you still here at Mulligan's Pub? Please tell me you are." Dan reads.
"The message was sent about haft an hour ago." Dan adds as he finishes reading.
"Mulligan's Pub." Carson said to Javi.
Javi nods.
"Alright, boys. To Mulligan's Pub we go!"
