Chapter 36 - Episode 36: Getting ready

Breakfast went by fast by them who enjoyed the meal made by Teo and Jimeno.

Back to Josh, he got a hold of the keys as his friend instructed him on how to take care of his motorbike.

The dark-haired nodded knowing how he was with his stuff, after everything was settled his friend drove away from the small town as he tested it, getting on it.

Meanwhile Jimeno broke the silence at the end of breakfast, according to Teo's plan the best moment to appease his brother's hunger was ideal.

"So, I hope you don't mind me stealing my bestie all day. I missed him so much and I wanna make it up to him for… you know what…" he avoided mentioning the incident as he still felt guilty.

Ramon's eyes narrowed, yet Angello put his hand on top of his balled one.

"Just the two of you?" The red haired asked before Ramon could protest.

Teo chuckled a little to hide his nervousness, "No, Jack hyung would accompany us too." He hoped the addition of a third person, one of his brother's friends, would make him agree to the plan.

Jimeno interjected as he noticed Ramon's tough demeanor cracked a little at the mention of his high school friend, "he will make sure to take care of us. Whadya say?"

The two best friend's stared at the taller man with lost puppy eyes, hoping to get a positive answer.

"Sounds great! And we could hang out–" Angello covered Jake's mouth as he noticed the distracted boy didn't get the hint.

"Yeah, whilst they go out we could go to the museum in the city. I heard a new artist is displaying his artrisy on the Antique Museum '' he spoke grinning as Ramon's attention drew to his face whilst Jake frowned.

The bunny-like boy almost bit his finger off if it were because he pulled his hand away, the boy was ready to snap when Teo and Jimeno spoke at the same time as if they were twins.

"Amazing! We get to enjoy our days doing what we love"

Jake looked from them to Ramon as said male's eyes shone like emeralds in an abandoned mine brightening up his day.

Ramon acted tough with his words even though his eyes couldn't stop shining as he missed spending time in a museum, "Make sure Jack brings you all back home safe. No alcohol allowed, No hanging out by the beach and above all, Keeping me on the loop wherever you go"

The blondes nodded with soft smiles dancing on their lips, "sure! Thanks, bro!"

Teo ran up to his brother to hug him, missing the eye roll Angello threw on his way as he knew what they were up to.

"Yeah, stop squishing. So where are you all going?" He asked as he usually does, Teo froze for a bit as his friend saved his frozen bum.

"We are going to the movies, then out for some pizza and then we will let hyung choose" Jimeno smiled broadly as his crescent moon eyes rose up along with his calm and unwavering voice.

"What time are you going back home?" These were usual questions for him, however Teo didn't really know how to answer being scared to give himself away.

"Let them enjoy themselves as friends. Besides they are adults under the watchful sight of a hawk, nothing bad is going to happen" Angello spoke calmly, stealing a roll from Ramon's plate.

The man gasped as he was saving his favorite for the end.

"That was mine," Ramon whined like a boy, causing Angello to smile, eyes disappearing as he did so.

"I love you" that was his usual answer whenever he stole food from his plate yet it always brought a blush creeping all over Ramon's face yet it triggered a little at Jake who stood up abruptly.

"Seems like y'all have your day planned. I'll be sleeping all day"

He stomped off the room, everyone's attention on him.

"Enjoy your day" was the only thing Angello and Ramon said as they dashed after a clearly annoyed Jake.

Jimeno enjoyed the drama, munching on his last mochi roll, grinning, "Better than a Tv novel" he mumbled as he chewed slowly.

"I don't really want to know" Teo shivered, thanking heaven for being away from their messy business relationship.

"C'mon. It'd be fun." His best friend cheered excitedly, hands up in the air.

"Maybe for you, this is my brother, that's weird" he faked puking causing Jimeno to burst into a laughing fit, almost falling off his chair.

"You need to get better furniture" the latter complained as he barely caught himself.

Teo got up picking up the empty dishes, "Nope, but we need them babyproof just for you"

He laughed walking to the kitchen with a whining Jimeno following closely at his heels.

"I'm not a baby. I'm a full grown up man!" He helped carry the rest of dirty dishes as his friend got into work washing them.

"Says the baby mochi" Teo laughed as his friend whined.

Setting up a mini foam battle into the kitchen as they attacked each other, lively laughs blooming within the small room filling the house with a joyful environment.

~~~~Hours later, two hours before the date~~~~

"It doesn't fit!" Teo threw the shirt across his bed as Jimeno caught it chuckling.

"It does. The colors and even the style goes with you" he spoke as he folded the beige button up shirt.

"You don't get it! I can't go to the movies like this"

Teo stared at his reflection on the mirror, brimming eyes in the corner of his eyes, as he watched the tailor made pants and white tee.

"You look amazing in anything. You could wear a potato sack and it would still look like high cottoure" his friend said, folding the tossed shirts onto Teo's bed.

"He said dress up cozy. What's that supposed to mean?" He pulled at his hair as he stared at his closet full of suits.

Jimeno stifled a laugh as his friend truly loved classic to a fault in contrast Teo glared at him through the mirror.

"Not gonna lie, that was laughable. However, maybe he meant anything you're comfortable with. If you are comfy within a suit then so be it"

Teo looked down at himself, he felt comfortable in these clothes but thought they were too much to watch a movie.

"Listen, buddy" this got the boy's attention as his friend continued, "he met you when you were in your uniform. He stayed with you when you were wearing those huge clothes, at least that's how you arrived here. I don't think he would pay too much thought into what you wear as long as you're comfortable"

He reasoned, Teo nodded in understanding, "how about you just put on something you feel yourself and be good to stay in until night?"

Teo nodded, letting out a sigh, "but being comfortable at night would be staying in pyjamas"

Jimeno wiggled his eyebrows as a smug grin made its way up to his lips, "I don't think he would mind seeing you in a sexy pair of pyjamas"

Teo laughed sarcastically, "you're forgetting I don't have sexy clothes, let alone… those" not being able to say it out loud as his face coloured in a deep shade of peachy pink.

"Then we could go to the mall early and I could help ya getchu good ones." He sang as he dumped the folded clothes on the bed as he got up, eyes sparkling full of mischief.

Teo's mouth hung agape, his eyes painting in horror, "No! I know you, you'd pick up the racy ones your eyes were to land on. Besides, I don't want him to see them. He might think-"

"What you bought then for him to see~" His friend interrupted him with a smug grin which was erased right after as Teo tossed his vest on his face.

"Stop! I'm not like you!" He yelped as his face was flaring up.

"Right, coz you're way worse. Anyhow. They are on me, consider this your nuptial's gift from your soulmate" he sang covering behind the table as Teo tossed a hoodie on his way.

"Hey, buddy. This one is cute" Jimeno said, picking up the grey hoodie with a small bear stamp on the chest part.

"Uh? What are you– oh, you're right" Teo saw how his friend stood up with the open hoodie which seemed cozy and soft to the touch.

Their smiles agreed with the plan on sight.

"Let's get you cozy and ready to attack," his friend said, picking up a loose shirt, sweatpants and a bandana.

"I'll look funny" he said, chuckling as he only dressed up like that when he was lazy never to go out in public.

"You'll look adorable and soft! Now let the expert handle it!" He walked over, fitting the hoodie, nodding as he was happy with his choice.

Teo shrugged his shoulders as he really needed help finding something cozy.

Although his goal was to awestruck his conquer, he could also play innocent to awaken the sleeping wolf inside of him.
