chapter 9

~authors note

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to update this. I got sick and I've been like actually happy recently so I just haven't had time or cared enough to write. But I'm planning on getting back to updating this frequently. So sorry!

Story-

Boris looked at Theo for a second. "What are you doing here?" Boris finally asked him.

"I- can I come in..?" Theo asked him, completely ignoring his question. He now realized that him coming all this way chasing after Boris seemed clingy of him, so he figured it'd be best to just shut up.

Boris again, just looked at him for a moment and then looked back behind himself. He then opened the door and allowed Theo inside. 

"Is your dad home?" Theo asked him.

"No." Boris lead Theo to his room. Once they got into his room Boris sat on his bed and tried not to look in Theo's direction.

"Did I do something?" Theo felt like Boris was acting weird, and he still didn't completely understand why he had left in the first place. 

Boris just looked over at him. "Why did you come?"

"Because, I have nobody else. And I felt so lonely the first time you were gone. Look, I'm sorry about what Hobie said, if that's why you left. "

"You have Hobie. And he was right, I'm not a good influence on you. You are a good kid and I took that away and I'm sorry for that. But you coming all this way to come back to me was a bad idea."

"If me coming back to you was a bad idea then you coming back to me was a bad idea. And you didn't take anything away from me. Your a good kid too." Theo knew he was lying, about all things. From the second he saw Boris he knew he was a weird kid,  but he still liked him.

"That's bullshit. You have a good life with Hobie, why fuck it up??" Boris turned to him. "But still, why did you come. I left for a reason."

"Just because I enjoy living with Hobie doesn't mean I am happy. Sure, I wasn't like depressed or anything, but I sure wasn't happy. I came because your my best friend and only friend and I don't want you to be alone."

Boris looked at him for a second. "Do you like, need like a shower or something or are you hungry?" 

"Can we just sleep for now?"

"Uh, yeah. come here."
