"Don't feed meso fast." Larry said to him and he blew at sam's face.

He opened his eyes and he put the spoon on the plate. "You jerk, why do you have to forward your face to me like that?" Sam ask annoyingly.

"Why?, do I look handsome that can make you nervous?" Larry replied.

Sam frowned when larry said it to him. "Ugly as fuck!" he cursed.

He stood up and he went to the restroom and he faces the mirror. "What are you doing? Get together sam. What's wrong with you? Why you get nervous in front of him?" He asked himself.

"Hey!.. are you done using the restroom? I need to pee!" Larry yelled while knocking the door.

"Going home? Then brings me to your house." Larry said.

Sam got startled. "N- no way, why would I bring you to my house?" Sam replied.

"Ok, I'm going somewhere and-

He asks Larry without hesitation "What if they came back? What if they will beat up you again?"

" Come with me." Sam said.

"Where to go?" Larry asks while walking.

They went to his house. Larry looks around and he attracted to the paintings on the wall. "It's beautiful, where did you buy this?" He asks sam.

"That? I didn't buy that. I painted that since I was in elementary." Sam replied while he's on his room.

"I don't have class." He replied. "Then, who's this young boy?" She asks.

"He's Larry, my schoolmate, a friend." Sam replied.

"Take a seat." She said to Larry. He sat awkwardly and he looks around. "What a cozy house." He said on himself.

"You and my son are the same grade level?" She asks Larry while putting the vegetables in the fridge.

"Y-yes.. a-auntie." He replied awkwardly.

Sam's mom smiled at him. "You don't need to feel nervous or awkward just feel free." She said.

"I'm going to paint mom in the backyard, I'll bring him there." Sam said.

"Ok, I'll cook some foods." She replied.

"Come with me." Sam said to Larry. He immediately stood up and they went together to the backyard.

"This is your backyard?" Larry asks.

"Yeah, sit down, I'll arrange my things there." he arranges his painting materials in the backyard. but he struggled to put the stand of his chair. "Jeez, the screw has gone again." he kept trying to assemble it.

"What's wrong?" Larry asks.

"oh, there's nothing, I can do it myself." He replied. He finds the screw, but he failed to find it. Larry walks into him and he asks the same again.

"What's wrong? Tell me, maybe I can help you."

"The screw of the stand in my chair has gone and I couldn't find it." Sam replied while still searching to it.

"enough, you can't find that little thing. you have a hammer and nails?" Larry asks.

Sam looks up at him and he stood up. "Why? What you gonna do with the hammer and nails?"

"smack to your head, i guess. Don't be stubborn, just answer my question. You have a hammer and nails?" He asked again.

"Of course, I have." Sam replied, he immediately runs to the storage room to get the hammer and nails. After he came back, he handed it to Larry. "What will you gonna do now?"

Larry were connected the stand on the chair head by the nails so that the chair can stand again without the screw.

"I didn't know about this, I'm such a fool." Sam said to himself.

"You're a fool." Larry said and he handed the hammer on him.

"Be careful, it will fall on my foot." Sam said and he took it from him. After he came back from the storage room. He immediately sat on the chair and he started to paint.

"Really? You really know how to paint? Maybe you're just fooling me." Larry teases him.

"Hello, why would I buy these things if I didn't know how to paint." Sam replied and he rolled his eyes.

"Ok, I'll let you." Larry said. He walks around while Sam's still painting. He coughs fakely, and sam stared at him but Larry still coughing fakely and he got annoyed.

"Hey, can you just shut up? I can't concentrate with my work." Sam said annoyingly to him.

Larry went to his chair and he sit down. He got bored so he went beside sam, he watched him while sam is painting. "Can you teach me how to paint?" He asks.

Sam look him. "Hell, no." He replied and he painting again.

Larry took the brushes and he brush it to Sam's face.

"The hell are you doing!" Sam yelled.

Larry chuckled and he kept putting color paint on Sam's face. "Look at your face now, messy as your hair." Larry said, teasing him.

Sam got annoyed and he put down the paint brush. "So, this what game you want? Sure, I'll give it you." and he put the color paint on larry face.

Larry startled and he splashes some colorful paint to sam's shirt.

"The fuck! Really? You want war?" Sam asks with his annoying face.

Larry teased him and he runs around the backyard. "Come here! I'll mess your face and shirt too!" and larry run far away.

Larry has shown funny face to him as a teased for him.

"Stop it! Your so ugly!" Sam yelled.

He runs faster to chase larry and he splashes color paint at lhim.
