Heading out

[austin_creed]

I don't know why the hell I'm that annoyed. I guess it's a mix between still being slightly hungover maybe and Breeze being more and more of an idiot lately. Maybe it's time to find my own place or move in with Nick or...something.

I was so proud of Lando too, which is dumb to say but I guess he's trying to make contacts online, so it's easier when he then meets those people. I can totally understand that and I respect that he's trying.

Now he might just not even bother, because Breeze has the sensitivity of a sledgehammer sometimes! And Nick...oh I should have chopped him way harder. Stupid comment. I'm annoyed and nothing else.

I know what will help. A nice long run and working with weights. I head to the kitchen, earphones already in to fade out the outside world and especially my house mate, preparing an electrolyte drink, before heading out.

Comments

[tyler_b]

I lean back in my gaming chair and put my hands behind my head. Why do I feel so wounded by Austin being annoyed at me? Because it's genuine this time? Lando didn't mean any harm and I totally overreacted...and now I think I might have hurt my best friends feelings... Maybe? Nick can go do one though, with his comment.

I'm about to go and see where Creed is, I need to talk to him... I think? I suck at this stuff. I hear the door go. I don't think he has a shift at the centre, so he's escaping from the house again. From me again.

I head into the kitchen, make myself a protein shake...Wash up after myself 'cause I might annoy him more if I don't tidy up after myself too. I don't wanna risk that. Then I start pacing...while I wait for him to come back.

[austin_creed]

I run for quite a while and when I take a break at the beach and have a drink, I start to feel a little calmer. Still, there is that little nagging annoyed feeling in my chest and with a sigh, I sit down on a rock for a moment. "It's not just annoyance...that actually hurt." I murmur to myself and frown. I mean, yes Breeze and sledgehammer fits, but I know that and usually it makes me just roll my eyes and get the popcorn to see how he gets out of those situations.

I don't know, but at least I feel calmer now and I guess I can head back home without feeling I need to hit something or someone.

I might have thought so too soon, I think when I walk back in through the backdoor and into the kitchen and almost run into Breeze. I pull my earphones out. "Hey." I just say, grab a banana and turn to head to my room. Did he look...not his usual hyper and annoying self?

[tyler_b]

The back door flies open, well not really, it just opens, but...whatever. It surprises me and I finally stop pacing. "Hey Bro," Austin grabs a banana and doesn't say anything else. I guess he's gonna go his room...Get a shower maybe? I start to follow him and then spot. I should leave him alone? I usually know what to do. I dunno what's going on with me. Normally I'd just walk straight into his room.

I stand outside his door and I just stand there for what feels like forever before I finally work up the courage to knock! What the hell, I never knock on his door and it never takes courage!

"Hey man...Good run?"

[austin_creed]

He doesn't bounce after me in annoying, yet funny fashion that almost always makes me laugh. That can be really annoying too, when you want to stay pissed off at someone but him and his silly, fluffy huge house shoes alone is so silly, yet adorable... Anyway he doesn't and also doesn't barge into my room like he usually would, but...knocks? What the fuck. If I wasn't so baffled, I might be impressed by him trying to respect my privacy for once.

He then sticks his head in and very awkwardly asks...that. Like we are strangers or something.

"Okay, I assume as I was gone aliens have invaded earth and switched the real Breeze with a clone. A very weird clone who has no clue how real Breeze behaves? Who are you and where is the real Breeze?"

[tyler_b]

I know that I'm being weird and of course my Bestie can see that. I make some robot like movements with my hands and with my head and then...Stop that shit.

"Real Breeze keeps making you leave...I don't know man, I've been feeling weird since that journal thing went down. I genuinely annoyed you or upset you, I think?" I hope I'm not gonna make myself look like an idiot now.

[austin_creed]

I roll my eyes but then laugh and pat my mattress so he sits down besides me like usual and doesn't stand around like an awkward school boy.

"Breezy, I don't know either. Maybe I'm just stressed lately, but your reaction genuinely hurt." I tell him and I should have done so straight away, we always could do that before. Maybe I've been replaced by an alien.

"Maybe I've been single for too long and this hit too close to home like...not even my best friend thinks I should get some or feels like he's better than me." I roll my eyes at myself and sigh. "Also, I felt so proud of Lando. He's a really shy kid, you know? He's found a friend in Fab, who's the complete opposite...he kinda just talked at Lando until he replied and then adopted him as a friend." I laugh quietly. "Anyway, I guess he's trying and it's easier online for him. I hope he doesn't worry too much now."

I elbow Breeze lightly, a grin on my face. "Why did you overreact like that anyway? I'd have assumed you'd just play along...to annoy me."

[tyler_b]

I sit down beside him on his bed and feel way more comfortable than I did 30 seconds ago. This is normal.

"I could tell, I felt bad after," I know him, of course I knew that he was really hurt and I know that doesn't happen very often. It felt so intense.

"What? Are you kidding me? I'm so not good enough for you," He's smart, so funny, talented and hot, and I'm just a dude that walks around in fluffy shoes...Okay, I do look good in them though. "Oh...I should probably apologise to him too for acting like an idiot. This is why you run the centre and I don't!" He's just great with people, and seems to understand them. I love that about him.

He elbows me and I shrug my shoulders. "It just seems really dumb now, I love you man, I don't wanna be so annoying you have to keep fleeing to Nick's. Can we kill him by the way?"

[austin_creed]

"Yeah, I know. It's so funny that we can even read the stuff in mails and stuff in the others voice, isn't it?"

I give him a look, but he seems serious about what he's saying. "What makes you say that? I don't understand." I ask and then nod when he says he should apologize to Lando. "Well Danny does mostly...but maybe you just need more contact outside of our wrestling circle too...?" I shrug lightly.

I snort softly. "Love you too, man...and yes, he should get an extra ring lesson from us next week." I smile evily but then add. "Although with the way we go back and forth and play off each other, it sometimes might seem like we're an old married couple or something."

[tyler_b]

"Yeah, thanks for convincing me to sign up," I grin at him and elbow him back. He questions what I say about not being good enough for him. He's a thinker, always using that brain of him. Me not so much sometimes.

"You're so funny, talented, passionate, smart, thoughtful...hot, you deserve someone who can offer you way more than being a gorgeous, loud jerk most of the time!" I'm clearly not very sensitive. "Maybe, I might just freak out more kids though!"

I punch him in the arm when he says he loves me too and I love that evil smile that creeps over his face when he talks about Nick being given an extra lesson by us. "Makes sense, we've been living together and close for a while now,"

[austin_creed]

"Ah well, people just will need to get used to you. I think they are not sure about Nick sometimes either...when he really is just being an ass or when he's trying to be funny." I laugh, but nah, I love that man to bits just like this blond asshole here.

"I can give a lot of that right back, Breezy." I tell him sincerely. "Especially the funny, talented and passionate part...and the way you came in here earlier shows you can be thoughtful too...even tho that was really weird. We can go in together and see how it goes. I'm pretty sure you could be a great addition to the team." I know he has a softer side, even though he doesn't like to show it.

I rub my arm and glare at him for a moment. "Yeah...we're usually a pretty good team, aren't we? Even when we shout at each other over basically nothing." I laugh.

[tyler_b]

My eyes widen when Creed says that about Nick, "What? When does he try to be funny? I've not noticed," I snort softly. "How was he looking when you went over anyway? Did we chop him hard enough?" I grin.

My grin softens. Sue me. I like it when he calls me Breezy. "I noticed you let our the smart part!" I laugh, happy to be able to relax around him again. "It felt weird. I've never thought twice about walking into your room before. It's not very...me. If you say so man, I'll come along with you next time you're there," I trust his judgement. He knows exactly what he'd be letting the centre in for!

His glare is cute. "Yeah we are!" I say enthusiastically and punch the air. "If we were a couple..." I give a shrug of my shoulders. It wouldn't work...would it? We argue about dumb stuff all the time.

[austin_creed]

I snort softly, pretty sure my prince pretty here has been dying of laughter now and then when being with Nick. "His chest will be all the colours by midweek, but I think what annoyed him most really was the cake in his ear." I laugh, but I know that feeling too well myself and that was one of the reasons I went over there.

"Well, I am clearly the smarter one." I say and wink at him, but then become more serious. "No, it isn't very you...what have you been afraid of?" I ask and then tilt my head slightly. "If we were...it could be amazingly explosive in a good way...or a very, very, very bad way." I laugh again but then ask. "Have you ever thought about it? Since I'm hot and all that stuff...and you are too."

[tyler_b]

I grin cheekily, "You're not a fan of that either, and yet it keeps happening to you, strange!" I've only got him once or twice...or maybe three times. It's fun...for me. "Vanilla frosting tastes good from your face," I laugh.

I frown when he asks me what I was afraid of. "I knew I'd hurt you man, and I didn't want to do anything that would make you leave for real," I love living with him and having him around all of the time.

I look at him and decide that I should be honest. We're honest with each other. "Yeah, maybe...a couple of times. Have you?"

[austin_creed]

"Yeah...funny that...." I give him a look with my eyebrow raised but he has that cheeky look on his face that most of the time makes me laugh.

He's so honest there and what he says pulls at my heartstrings a bit, so I hug him. "Idiot...I'm not leaving ya...how would you ever survive without me."

I shake my head and then make a thoughtful sound. "Since we're being honest...how could I not, man we've been through so much crap already...and despite the jokes and stuff, I know I can count on you. We can count on other people too, but I feel you're the one who really knows me and gets the best out of me."

He doesn't like to admit it but man, we've cried together almost as much as we laughed together and even fighting is fun, most of the time. When one of us really is in a mood not so much, but that rarely happens.

"And we've already established...we're hot."

[tyler_b]

I'm pulled into a hug. "That's one of the scary parts. I don't want to survive without you around...It would be so boring!" We just get each other. He's always there for me, and we've been through a lot of stuff.

I'm not dead inside. It makes my heart beat faster when he says he knows he can count on me and that I get the best out of him. "Same, same! You do know me in a way that no one else does." I don't need anyone else to know those other sides of me.

"Think we could handle...More?" I wouldn't want to screw up, or screw him around. Austin does not deserve that. I look into his eyes and fuck it! I'm going for it.

"Do not tell Nicky," I say before kissing him hard. My heart is pounding, cause I hope this won't ruin everything!

[austin_creed]

I can't even answer or ask him what I'm not supposed to tell Nick, because he just kisses me. Typical Breeze really. Not that I'm complaining really. Him kissing me feels...like I'm coming home or something. I respond just as hard and soon our tongues battling.

We part to breathe and I blink, very surprised. "I guess we'll see whether we can...but I'd like to find out, in case this wasn't clear enough." I chuckle softly. "Man, you are supposed to let a man think for a second...also if this goes on we just have to live with Nick being a smugger asshole than usual."

This time I don't wait for an answer, but lean in to kiss him, but less like an attack as he did.

[tyler_b]

That kiss is HOT. It feels right. We're meant to kiss each other. I know that now. I don't get given a chance to respond this time. I'm being kissed by Austin, but more gently, it's much more...him.

We part, "Whyyyy? Whyyy have we never done that before? We're idiots." Nick will be such a smug asshole when he finds out. "We're gonna be able to deal with this," We have to deal with it, cause I wanna keep on kissing him. And More.

[austin_creed]

I laugh very hard for a moment. "I have no idea and yes, we really are. I guess not much will change other than us being also physical, right? We'll still scream at each other when one of us is being an idiot...mostly you being an idiot..and yeah, just let's stay honest with each other." I nod and smile brightly at him. "Now, Breezy...you are wearing way too much to join me in the shower." Before things go further I'm definitely having that shower.

[tyler_b]

I jump up and start singing, "Let's get physical, physical..." And shake my butt in his face laughing before I sit down again. "I'll still be an idiot, who drives you up the wall," I agree. "And yeah, honesty, man, we got this. We'll be the new power couple!" The bright smile is gorgeous and lights up this entire room. "Sure, I'll strip for you...The fluffy slippers are staying here though. Can't risk getting those wet!" I jump back up again, grab his hands and pull him up to his feet. "Let's go shower!"

[austin_creed]

I shake my head but can't stop laughing. He really is such an idiot... "Yeah that's good but I hope there will now be a way added to drive me up the wall." I grin. "We could try to adopt Lando or Fab too for the adorableness factor...so far Nick and Jules are ahead there. Then again they also have the witch of the west to deal with..." I put my hand over my hand. "No. She is very helpful and nice and apparently Cole likes her.." I shrug and then get up. "I'll strip for you first, my friend!"

[tyler_b]

His laugh is so infectious that it is IMPOSSIBLE to not laugh along with him. "I'm confident in my ability to find new ways to drive you up the wall," I grin back. "You really like those two?" I need to meet them, I guess. I'm surprised whenever Creed isn't a massive fan of someone. It doesn't happen that often. "There must be something for you to get that vibe," Then again Cole is such a nice guy, so if he likes her...That's too confusing for me. "Strip race!" I laugh and start pulling my T-shirt off, planning on running to the bathroom butt naked!
