Okay, fine.

Maybe going on a roadtrip with Neil, Meeks and Charlie wasn’t the best idea ever.

Todd accepts his mistake.

Charlie was being his usual obnoxiously loud self, but somehow he managed to know every song on the radio, so he sang the lyrics excitedly, sometimes even dramatically acting them out.

Meeks, on the other hand, was calmer. As the driver, he took the responsibility of not only paying attention to the road, but also making sure Charlie doesn’t get too excited and ends up causing an accident.

Neil was different though.

Him and Todd were both on the backseat, looking out their windows, watching the suburbs turn into mountains, turn into the sea.

Todd would sometimes look at Neil, only to find the other boy already staring at him.

And whenever a song they both knew would come up Neil always excitedly gasped and they sang together, joining their voices with Charlie’s. Sometimes even Meeks’.

So the time passed, with small chatter here and there, the view outside the window passing by and always changing itself.

It was a cold afternoon in Neil and Todd’s small apartment.

They moved shortly after graduation and now had stable jobs. Neil was a theatre actor, he was doing what he loved the most. And Todd was working as a librarian, but still dreaming about being a teacher.

The boys’ shared room felt warm and cozy in contrast with the weather outside. The string lights and fluffy-looking pillows welcomed anyone and everyone.

Todd sat on the right side of the bed, with Neil’s scrip in his hands. He was in the middle of a pillow fort with blankets on top of him.

Neil stood on the short space in their room that wasn’t covered with furniture. He held a notebook prop in his hands as he declared his lines looking towards his boyfriend.

“Was that ok?” The brunette asked, shifting into a more comfortable position.

“It was great darling,” Todd answered with loving eyes “by the way, we need to go to the grocery store, I’ve run out of tea bags”
