I woke up with Darryl's back turned to me. He was on his phone scrolling through texts. "Good morning." I whispered in a raspy voice.
"Good morning, Zak." He said turning off his phone as getting out of bed.
I got out of bed after him. "I think we should destroy the fort." I said untucking the covers of the top of the fort.
"Where will be sleeping now?" Darryl asked as he watched me rip the fort down.
"Just in the bed. Nothing special." I moved the pillows to their proper places. Once the bed was made I said, "Let's go downstairs."
Darryl nodded. We climbed down to living room. I saw my parents prepare breakfast in the kitchen. I saw Sam in the living room and rolled my eyes. Sam was always in the living room.
Darry and I sat down on the floor. "Wanna go out with Vincent again?" I asked him.
"Not today. Yesterday you two spent too much money. And I have a headache anyways."
I looked at Darryl. He didn't look to good. I frowned. "I told you not to eat too much sweets."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know." I giggled. He sounded funny.
I looked for things to do. I saw a old board game. I reached for it but before I could grab it I heard my mom. "Breakfast!" She called out.
We walked over to the dining area. There was a plate with pancakes stacked onto each other. Another plate with strips of bacon. A third with 5 sunny side up eggs. A bottle of syrup near the pancakes. 5 plates with a fork on each one.
We thanked my parent for the food and started eating. I grabbed 3 pancakes, an egg, and 2 strips of bacon.
I noticed Darryl's plate. A pancake and a strip of bacon. "You not hungry?" I said while chewing.
"My stomach is still upset from yesterday." He looked up at me while clenching his stomach.
I saw my parents and my sister watch us as we talked. So I just whispered to him as he slowly chewed.
"You should start wearing short sleeves. It's fall buts it's really hot."
"It's fine." He said in a sickly tone while chewing.
I placed the back of my hand on his forehead. "You're burning!" I yelled out.
He grabbed for my hand and placed it off his forehead. "I'm going to the bathroom." He got up from his chair.
I continued to eat as he walked upstairs. I heard the bathroom door open. The sound was followed by the toilet seat dropping down. I heard him start to throw up. As I was about to get up, Sam beat me to it.
I sat back down as Sam got to the bathroom. "You okay?" I heard Sam say to Darryl.
"Mhm. I just ate-" He I could hear him barf into the toilet once again.
"Go on." I hear Sam say.
"Ate a lot of sweets."
I got up from my sear and walked to the bathroom. Sam was sitting down looking up at me. She had her hand on Darryl's back. Darryl was slouched down, facing the toilet. "I told you not to eat so much."
"Don't lecture him! The poor boy is throwing his guts out!" Sam yelled to me. I rolled my eyes and sat on the other side of Darryl.
I held Darryl's chin and made him face me. He was sweating and was tomato red. I frowned. I hated seeing him so sick. "There's a bathroom here. So please. For the love of God change."
Sam tried rolling up his sleeves but he pulled them back down before we even got to see his wrist. "I'm fine." He said in a monotone voice.
I rolled my eyes. I leaned in close to his ear so Sam didn't hear what I said. "How many times did you eat last week?"
"Like a snack or two."
"Darryl" I whispered softly. "You barely ate. Eating all at one time isn't good for you. Especially when it's sweets."
He looked down at the toilet and pulled down the flusher. "Go get an ice pack, Sam." Sam nodded. She came back a few seconds later with an ice pack surrounded with cloth. I grabbed it from her hands.
I faced him. I moved his hair out of his face, tucking it behind his ears. I placed the ice pack on his forehead. He moved his hand to his forehead so I could rest my hand.
"I'll go get you water." I got up and walked to the kitchen. I opened my fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. I walked back upstairs. The closer I got the louder the laughter got. I walked into Darryl and Sam joking around.
I tossed Darryl the water bottle. "You still going to eat?"
He opened the water bottle and took a sip. "Not right now. My stomach is killing me right now."
I helped Darryl up. The three of us walked downstairs. Sam grabbed her plate as sat next to Darryl on the couch. Sam was really annoying me right now so I decided to sit and eat with my parents.
I heard laughs and giggles come from the couch. I couldn't help but feel jealous. My sister was taking away my friend. I sighed and pulled out my phone while chewing on some bacon.
Most of the laughs came from Sam. I checked my texts. A few from the new group chat Vincent made last night. He sent the photos he took with us. Under was a text telling us "Good morning".
Muffin Squad

🇫🇷Vince / A6D 🇫🇷
Oh ok another day then
I sighed and put away my phone. I got sick of hearing Sam's forced giggles. I finished my food quickly and went upstairs.
I laid down on my bed in hopes that Darryl would come after me. I sighed after a few minutes of him not coming up.
I pulled out my phone and texted Geo.
You
sam is flirting with darryl :/
Beaver Man
Is someone jealous?
You
no! she's just separating us and it's getting annoying.
I didn't want to talk to Geo after that. The shipping wasn't funny to me. Darryl was probably straight and that would've made him uncomfortable.
I think my friends ship me because they think I'm straight. If I knew they I wasn't, they would probably stop. If they thought we were straight then they would know we would never get together, which makes them think it's ok with shipping it.
I decided to just watch TV until it was time to sleep. I watched for hours. I decided just to eat the chips in my room. It was about 7 when Darryl walked.
He sat in bed next to me.
"What are you watching?" He asked. He was sitting up straight and I knew he was feeling tense.
"Just one of my favorite shows." I answered watching his face. He looked like he cooled down. "You feeling any better?"
He nodded. He cleared his throat. "Can I tell you something."
"Go ahead." I turned back to the TV to watch the actors on the screen.
"Sam asked me on a date."
