Phone Calls
This started out as a drabble for kata_ny but somehow I got slightly carried away.

Author: foreverbm
Characters: Michael and Hunter
Words: 342
Michael picked up the extension in their bedroom and was surprised to hear Hunter’s voice. He was about to hang up but hesitated when he heard a girl’s voice.
“Do you think your parents will let me stay?” the softly spoken voice said.
“Sure!” Hunter replied. “I can talk them into anything.”
”Really?”
“Yeah. Ben’s a pushover and I can tie Michael around my finger and he doesn’t even realize it.”
A giggle responded to Hunter’s words as Michael hung up quietly.
We’ll see how clever you are he thought as he walked into Hunter’s bedroom.
Hunter said something into the phone, before looking up at Michael.
“Yeah?”
“Ben and I are going to the movies tonight, do you want to come?”
“No thanks!”
“You got plans?”
“Naw.”
“So you’ll be alright home alone.”
”Of course I will.” Hunter replied a ‘how old do you think I am’ look on his face.
“You don’t want to invite someone over to keep you company then?”
“What?”
“I just thought…you know…there maybe someone you’d like to stay…..in case we’re late home I mean.”
“I’ll be cool thanks.”
”Ok…well make sure you tell your girlfriend I’m sorry we won’t be meeting her.”
Michael said as he walked from the room. He got as far as the top of the stairs before Hunter caught up with him.
“You listened?”
“Inadvertently yes.”
“So you heard everything?”
”You mean the part about us being pushovers?” Michael eyed Hunter, who dropped his head for a minute before looking up, a wide smile on his face.
“You know, you’re the coolest parents!”
“Don’t push it Hunter.” Michael said, trying hard to contain a smile. “You had your chance and you blew it.”
“You mean you would have let her stay?”
“You’ll never know now…will you.”
Michael replied, running down the stairs.
Hunter shook his head, not quite sure how he had fucked this up. He must be losing his touch or else Michael was getting smarter which was actually quite scary he thought as he walked back to his bedroom.
