Protonconroy-This Is Why They Ship Us (Chapter 2)

“WHEN ARE YOUR FRIENDS COMING OVER?!” Lucah asked me, kinda bored.
“We have to babysit our cousins until they get hereeeee...”

We were definitely overrun by them. Watching, i dunno. Our cousins that are practically our siblings are: Masae at 4 years old, and Jake at 2. And we had to watch them until people started showing up. Normally i don’t mind them coming over, but what if they were here when all my friends got here? They’re too inappropriate for little kids!

“Let’s take them outside.” i said to Lucah. she nodded, picking up Jake.
“Outside! Outside!” Jake babbled, wiggling his arms. Really, he just turned 2 a couple months ago, so he still is leaning more on the ‘babyish side’ of things. It’s really adorable.

“EMILE DONNA IS HERE!” My mom called to me before i got out the door.
“Oh hey Donna! Wanna come out with us?”
“Yeah sure!” She followed me to my backyard.
It was quiet for a sec, until Donna broke the silence. “So katamaris.”
I cracked up “Nanaaaa nanananana-”
“Don't.” She blinked.

Masae skipped up to us. “Hi Emile’s friend~!”
“I have a name you know.” Donna grumbled.
“Masae, this is Donna.” I patted her on the head.
“Yay Donna!” Masae giggled.
“And can you tell her your name~?” I asked, trying to get her to introduce herself. Sure, by now Donna knows her name, but it sounds so cute when Masae does this.

“Ooh. Me Masae!” She waved. “I'm 4 years old.” She held up a three.
“Awwwwe!” Donna cooed. She glanced down and noticed she had her pajamas on. “Is it fun playing in your jammies?”
“Yeah!” Masae nodded. She gestured to the different sports balls in the pattern on her pants. “I got balls on me!”
Donna and i laughed our asses off.

“What’re you amused for, peasants?” Patrick walked out to where we were sitting on the porch swings.
“Masae, say that again.” Donna giggled.
“What?” Masae tilted her head. “How’s that funny? All i said was ‘I got balls on me’.”
Patrick laughed hard and set down next to Donna, across from me.

Hugh came over next. “Hey, imma just go play minecraft in your living room. cool?”
“Cool.” i said.

Next thing you know, Jon texted me.
-Hey what color do you like? I need it to make your present.
~I like red.
-Sweet. And you want anything from hot topic?
~Its fine...
-Oookay.

Lucah held little Jake as he slid down our slide. “Wheeee!” They said together.
“Again!” Jake giggled, holding his arms up.
“Ugh. EMILE CAN YOU DO IT? MY ARMS ARE TIRED.” Lucah yelled to me.
“I got it~!” Donna went over to play with them.
“I can do it, Donna.” I got up.
“No i wanna play with them! And besides, its your birthday. now SIDDOWN.” Donna skipped off.

I looked up and Tyler was sitting across from me, stroking a fake cat.
“WHAT HOW WHO WHEN WHAT--TYLER.”
“I’ve been expecting you to freak out.” Tyler smirked. I heard Lucah and Donna laughing from the playground.
“When did you get here?” Patrick asked.
“Yes.” Tyler said.
‘....huh.” I shrugged.
“Pssh. He hitched a ride with me.” Jon came through the door.
“Hi Jooon~!” I went up and hugged my best friend.
“Hey Emile.” He patted my back.
Jon sat next to me on the swing and we watched the little kids play with Donna and Lucah.

“Hey Mimikins!” My aunt came over to pick up her kids.
“Hi auntie~!” I hugged her.
“Hey Masae! Jake! You guys ready to go?” She called for her kids.
“NOOOOO!” Jake yelled.
“Do we have to?” Masae asked, holing onto Donna.
“Yes, now lets go bu-bye!” She ended up having to pick them up and drag them to the car.
“Sorry. Neither of them had a nap.” She said.
“It's fine.” I shrugged.
“Happy early birthday.” She hugged me and went to take the kids home before they could blow up the car or something.

“What was that about?” Tim came in as the left.
“Baby cousins.” I said.
“So cute!” Tim gushed.

“So.” Tyler got up. “Anyone up for truth or dare?”
All of us except Lucah agreed, and went into the downstairs family room. Lucah went to go play minecraft with Hugh in the living room.

Jon, Tyler and Donna went in first, but Tim and Patrick got me to stay behind for a second.

“Whats up?” I asked.
“Well....” Tim started.
“I'm getting right to it.” Pcull said. “A while ago Jon told us he likes you.”
I blushed. “B-but...”
“He's right.” Tim said.
“That cool with you?” Patrick asked.
“y-yeah.” I bit my lip.
“Do you like him at all, or..?” Tim asked.

“I...” I  thought for a second. I have always been curious... and Jon’s the guy i trust the most. Every time i thought about the “If i had to try stuff with a guy...” Scenario, i thought of him first. We always had these weird moments of tension too. And usually when we had those moments, i was pretty turned on, so....

“Yeah.” I nodded.
“You sure?” Patrick asked.
I nodded while blushing, still unsure of myself.
“Well, we’re thinking we should try to get you to kiss during this game.” Patrick said.
“Maybe we can get you together~!” Tim giggled.
“I-i dunno. It’ll be my first...” I blushed harder.

"You don't have to if you don't want to.” Tim said.
“I-i just wont be good... T-that's all...” I bit my lip harder.
“I don't think Jon will care..” Patrick mentioned.
“Awwwe~!” Tim squeed. “That's love!”
“But i thought Jon had a girlfriend.” I said, not wanting to piss her off.
“They broke up. Hard.” Patrick said.
“Go cheer him up!” Tim said excitedly.
“I will.” I smiled. I always wanted him happy, friend or more.
