Charlie’s lips curled into a smile when he saw Eddie’s smile. It was kind of contagious. “Alright,” he said with a nod as he followed Eddie into his room. Even if he didn’t have kit-kats, anything with chocolate would be awesome. He was suddenly incredibly hungry. Maybe it was because since Eddie told him to meet him after class, he had barely eaten anything because of the knot in his stomach. That would explain it.
Charlie went to the candy drawer and started looking around and grabbing things. “Whatever you wanna watch is fine,” he replied with a shrug. They could watch the crappiest movie and it’d look and sound awesome with his TV and surround sound. That was one thing Charlie was jealous of and had also been very vocal about. Many times. He only had a tiny TV compared to his, and no awesome surround sound. “I found two kit-kats, but one of them is green... Some green tea shit.” Still, he’d try it. He grabbed more chocolate goodies and used his t-shirt to carry as many of them as possible to the futon with him. He sat down and got comfortable.

Seeing Charlie smile was the reason for the spring in his step. As long as Charlie did not hate him, he would be able to make things better. And his best friend was smiling. That had to be a good sign. To him, that was a perfect sign. A sign that this would be fixable. So he went off to his room, hopeful and returning to his normal, bouncy puppy self. After all, movies made everything better. If Charlie did not want to talk, then the silence would not be unbearable. If he did, they would have seen whatever movie so many times now, they did not need to pay attention entirely. Perfect plan! He liked perfect plans, especially when they mean candy and Charlie. And he was mostly positive that there were kit-kats, no promises that they would not be old, but they would be there. Once inside, he saw Charlie go for the drawer and smiled again before opening up his case. When Charlie told him to pick a movie, he knew what he wanted to watch, His ultimate fall-back plan movie. He picked up The Holy Grail before walking over to his entertainment system, wrinkling his nose at the idea of a green tea kit-kat.
“I have no idea how that even got in there,” Eddie replied. he blamed his brothers. It was easier that way. With the movie, in, Eddie hip checked the drawer closed before joining Charlie on the futon. It took him a moment to sit, mostly because he was not sure how much space the other boy would want. Normally he was practically on his lap. This time he was off to the side, but not much, with his body angled slightly in the event of an invitation to cuddle.As the over dramatic music played in the opening, Eddie reached for one of the pieces of chocolate Charlie had brought over. “Why would anyone want a green tea Kit-Kat?” he asked, still baffled as to where it had come from. His eyes flickered up to Charlie with a hopeful look before returning to the television.
