Josh was making breakfast when the toaster exploded. Theo’s counter was currently loitered with tons of ingredients. Cracked eggshells, bread, different fruits, syrup, butter, jam, flour, sugar, sausage, and open case of bacon, and a pitcher of milk. Josh was sweating slightly from the heat of the stove and the oven, and there was flour all over his shirt.

He was placing a tray of bacon in the oven when Corey entered the kitchen in his pajamas. “Morning Josh.” He walked to where Josh was standing and peered into the bowl he was using for the pancake batter. Corey gasped. “Blueberry, my favorite.”

Josh smiled. He liked to see Corey happy. He was too sweet to be upset all the time and given their situation, he didn’t mind doing small things to keep a smile on the boy’s face. “Yup. And I have some bacon in the oven, eggs waiting to be scrambled, and I’m about to put on the toast.”

Josh grabbed two slices of bread and placed them in the slots. He plugged the toaster’s cord into the outlet and pulled the lever down. The minute his hand started to push it, the toaster exploded. It emitted a buzzing sound and then there was a large white spark that knocked him to the ground. Josh covered his face with his hands as he fell, hoping that nothing would hit his face. Josh felt Corey fall on top of him with a small “oof!” Josh felt his teeth sharpen and grow into fangs (he guessed it was the electricity even though he hadn’t put the cord in his mouth) but willed them to go way. He heard the patter of footsteps make their way to the kitchen.

“What the hell is this?” Josh rose from the floor to see Theo standing over him with his arms crossed and a glare over his face.

“Um…”

“Corey!” Theo snapped. “Get up,” he demanded, stomping his foot onto a seemingly empty tile. The tile seemed to flicker for a moment before Corey appeared.

“Hey Theo,” he said weakly.

“Josh?” Hayden and Tracy came running down the stairs to see what was going on.

“What was that huge noise we heard?” Tracy asked as she walked inside. “Oh my gosh.”

She and Hayden and horrified expressions on their faces. He looked at Corey. Corey’s mouth was wide open and he looked like he just wanted to camouflage with the floor again.

Josh finally took a good look around. The outer layer of the toaster had shattered into several pieces and they were all in different places of the room. One was stuck in the door of a cabinet, and another was lying in the sink. The bread was on fire as well as the remains of the toaster. The explosion had clearly disrupted some of the other things on the table: The pitcher of milk was shattered and milk was dripping onto the floor, the bags of sugar and flour had burst, causing white powder to cover anything in its vicinity. Oh goodness, he thought.

“Josh was trying to make toast,” Corey explained.

Theo raised an eyebrow at Josh. “Why are you making breakfast?”

Because that’s what normal kids do on a Saturday morning when they’re hungry. Because we need something more than a granola bar to get us through the day. Because my mom and dad always made sure we ate breakfast as family, he wanted to say. Josh shrugged.“I was hungry and I figured everyone else would be too.”

“So you decided to blow up my toaster and make a gigantic mess?” Theo asked, his voice slightly louder.

“I-” I just wanted to do something nice.  “I just wanted to do something nice.”

Theo scoffed. “Nice? You mean normal.”

Josh tried not to show his surprise. “Theo, I mean nice. I just wanted all of us to have-”

“Next time you decide to do something to make yourself feel normal, try to make it a less messy activity. Try reading. Well, if you know how. Now clean this up, all of you.” And with that Theo turned around and went back upstairs.

This is more like prose poetry than any kind of real fic but? i am trying lmao

-

The blue sky stretches in front of them.

To his left, Scott can hear a small animal moving around in the desert, trying to free a prickly pear from the bush. To his right, Kira sits with her eyes shut and her face turned up to the sun.

It’s hot but dry and almost pleasant, though he wishes there was a some shade. The car underneath them is hot from the sun, and they won’t be able to sit there much longer. Kira had stretched a pale blue blanket on top of it, and it helped, but the heat was seeping through even now. It’s bearable, but only just. Soon, they’ll roll up the blanket and get back in the car, and drive until they find a diner or something interesting to look at. At the diner, they’ll sit on the same side of the booth and order what their waitress recommends. Scott will buy a milkshake. Kira will steal half of it.

Scott doesn’t want to move.

Kira’s left pink presses against his thigh, a small point of pressure that would have gone unnoticed if he were with anyone else. He hasn’t seen her in months except in Skype calls and Snapchat stories, and every touch matters.

Her breathing is even and measured, even as she opens her eyes and turns to look at him, smiling. She doesn’t speak. Neither does he.

In the breeze, strands of her hair touch his face. He tucks them behind her ears, caressing her face as soft as he can. She closes her eyes as his hand cups her cheek, lets out a sigh. It throws off the rhythm of her breathing, but she returns to the pattern only seconds later.

The dessert is beautiful. The sky is beautiful. All he wants to look at is her.

Her eyes open and she stares back at him and smiles.
