    Nate was woken by the buzzing of his cell phone and he groaned as he lifted his head and blinked sleepily in the light of the morning. Reaching under his pillow, he pulled out the rectangular device to check his messages. It was his boyfriend, messaging him right on time to wake him up. There were three new texts that Calen had sent to raise the teen from his sleep because he knew him well. Nate sent back a short, lazy reply and let his head sink back on to the pillow with a huff.

    His eyes were just about to drift closed again when his phone broke out into a ringtone and he cursed. Of course, it was only Calen, trying to get him up. "Today is the big day. Don't want to be late and keep the others waiting, do you?" he reminded him and Nate admitted that no, he didn't want to keep anyone waiting because he was in fact very excited about the road trip he had planned with three of his friends, of which one was his best friend, who was very dear to him. the problem was just, getting up early. that was something he simply would never manage.

    The teen was up on his feet within the next five minutes to hop into the shower and get ready for the day. As he made his way down into the kitchen, he was already in a much better mood, grabbing some toast as he hummed to himself and popped it into the toaster. While he waited for his breakfast to finish up, he sent his friends a text each.

    Are you guys ready?! :D
    Alex was an early riser and had everything ready by the door with time to spare before his girlfriend came over to say goodbye for the next few weeks. She didn't like that he would be gone for so long since they usually didn't go four days without seeing each other. They had been dating for a long time and it was a comfortable, easy going relationship that both were very happy with. Except that Alex had gotten this craving for more lately. He didn't know if it was just curiosity or if it could be the fear of settling down so early in life - fact was, the seriousness of life was coming soon with college at the doorstep and the future to in his hands. He was really glad they would be going on this road trip to go wild and forget things for a while. Even his girlfriend.

    He couldn't go completely wild because her brother was actually one of his friends who took part on the trip but that didn't matter. Jude and him had managed to sneak the one or other thing behind everyone's backs before, it would be alright. It was nothing anyway. It meant nothing, nor did he even really like boys. He was just branching out, exploring, whatever.

    [how's this? ^^]

    Demeteri had been looking forward to this trip for the entire year and now that it had finally came around he was pumping with excitement and elation. Everything had already been planned out and executed, they had Jude's dad's RV, loads of money saved up from months and months, and just the first two locations on the map of their country. They figured they could bull shit it along the way and just find cool places to visit. He had gone to sleep at eight and woke up at six so he was fully rested and pumping with energy, having to wake up his sister so she could say good bye to Alex before he was swept away with the other lads. Ushering his sister out of the house Demetri opened the door and allowed her in first behind he went behind the wheel and turned the car on, his phone vibrating in his back pocket."Can I drive?" His sister asked and Demetri sent her a funny look,"You don't even have your license yet you lazy bum, no, you'll kill the both of us" he told her before taking his phone out his back pocket and smiling a little stiffly at Nate's text before sending one.

    Ready, and going to pick Alex&Jude up first, I bet you woke up ten minutes ago

    Which was a good bet considering Demetri knew that Nate could sleep through any plans by accident, you'd have to call and text him over and over to get him to jolt awake. He remembered freshman year for a camping trip after many failed calls and text Demetri came over to the others house and shook him till he woke up and got his ass ready. Placing his phone on his lap Demetri pulled out of the lot and drove onto the road, Demetri lived the closest to him and Jude was just a few houses away, wouldn't take long at all before he was parked out in front of Demetri's place.
    Jude had planned to sleep eight long hours but when the clock hit ten o'clock he completely ignored his little alarm and continued on Tumblr till his thumb was tired of hitting the space bar and he reached so far back on his dash that he was seeing post from last week. Least to say Jude slept for an hour and a half before his mother came into his room and shook him up, all of his bags already packed. Picking himself off of the bed he trudged along to the bathroom connected to his room and went in for a shower that didn't help him wake up. Packing his laptop into his book bag along with a small wifi usb Jude grumbled as he walked out of his parents home and down the block to where Alex's place has always been at. Taking his phone out Jude smiled at the text and sent Nate something back 'Ready, can't fucking wait, see you in a bit domiNATEer'. Jude was animated that he was going to spend nearly two months with his friends, being stupid and having as much fun as they could before they parted on whichever route they decided to take after high school. What had him excited the most was that he'd be with Alex for that long period of time, no girlfriend in sight and loads of time to ditch to the back of the rv where the curtains were to fool around a little.

    Coming up to Alex's place he could see the dark haired male at the front already, Jude knew Alex must have been the first one up and ready, he was just that kind of person. By the time he reached the front path leading up to the others home Demetri was pulling up and waving eagerly at them, his sister jetting out of the rv Jude had his father drop off at Demetri's and down the path to Alex, wrapping her arms tightly around his middle.

    Nate grabbed the peanut butter and a knife, smearing the topping on the freshly toasted bread in swift and practiced gestures. He disposed of the knife in the dishwasher as he brought his breakfast to his mouth with his other hand and chewed happily while clearing the kithen counter. The teen's father was off on business trips often, while his mother was often out of the house as well so he'd learned to organize most of the household by himself. He would be glad to have most of that off his hands for the summer. No one expected an rv full of guys to be organized or clean.

    At the buzzing of his phone, indicating replies, Nate set the milk down again that he had just reached from the fridge and huffed as he read what came from Demetri.
    And I'm stilll gonna be ready on time. I'm obviously amazing and you're just jealous ;P

    Fortunately, he had packed his stuff the day before and when the finished his peanut butter sandwhiches, he scampered over to his room to bring the bags to the front door.

    This will be the best times of our lives omg! he texted Jude, a grin already on his face. He couldn't even feel really sorry for leaving his boyfriend behind who was apparently pouting about being seperated for the summer but even though he was denying with all he had in him, Nate would choose spending time with Demetri over his bf any day.
    Alex stood smiling in front of his house when the rv pulled up and he opened his arms to embrace the girl that came rushing towards him. His lips met hers for a quick kiss as a greeting before he lifted his head to greet the other two teens who arrived, throwing them a wave and grin. "I'll be back before you know it, okay?" He assured her with a smile, pecking her forehead before wriggling out of her grip to load his luggage into the rv. Alex didn't even bother answering the text he had gotten from Nate because they'd be seeing each other in a few minutes anyway and he wasn't that big on texting, to Lauren's dismay. She had made him promise to send her at least one text a day but he knew she expected more. Either he was sure he would quite easily disappoint her, if he wanted to or not. But she'd get over it.

    "Well, guys, I'm ready to hit the road and get the hell out of here!" He exclaimed wirh a wide grin when he had finished loading his stuff. His gaze drifted over to Jude and hung on him for a moment, seemingly even more cheerful at the sight of him.

    Demetri only got out of the car to give Jude a side hug and ruffle his hair in the childish way he has done for the past four years. He knew how much his sister cared for Nate and so he decided to let those two just have their moment, hug each other and kiss and whatever else before he had to take Alex away for the next month or so. The group had planned a month but knowing then it may be longer, they'd get lost and do this and that and Demetri predicted that they would be back way to close to the time college actually starts. Ushering Jude into the rv Demetri got back to the drivers seat and took his cell out, rolling his eyes fondly before sending out another text to Nate.

    The only reason you'll be on time is because I'm picking you up last, therefor you get more time to get your ass ready

    Shoving his phone back into his front pocket Demetri waved for his sister to get back into the rv, figuring he might as well drop her off when they got to Nate's as the mall actually wasn't that far from where the last boy lived at."So we got the Blondie and the Mr.Punk on board, now all we need is Miles Cyrus" Demetri playfully joked as he drove down the street, his goal was to pick up Nate just as quick as Alex had been picked up and then ride right on out of this fucking place and to their first destination, Annabelle's Pancake House which was two hours away and had the best morning food in the world.
    Jude had gone straight for the rv when Lauren jetted out of it and to her boyfriend. He thought she was nice and all, a little bit to happy and preppy for his taste but she was cool but he was a bitter and really just wanted to get this road trip started so that it would be just him and his three friends for the next month or whatever. Getting inside of the rv Jude put his two duffle bags away and took a seat at the 'kitchen' which was a nice both that could fit all the boys. Taking his laptop out of his bag and turning on the small wifi device Jude tapped away on the screen just so that he wouldn't be able to talk to Lauren or Alex for now. Remembering he was received a text from Nate Jude took his phone out and smiled down on it, tempted to write something back to him but by the time he had the first sentence typed out Demetri was honking the horn of the rv in front of Nate's home and shouting,"Miles Cyrus, stick your tongue back in your mouth and get the fuck in the rv"

    "I'm right here, you dick, and we're right on time," Nate called fondly to Demetri as he padded up to the rv with two of his bags. Of course, that wasn't all he had and he had to go back out to get the rest. "Hey, Alex, and Lauren, " he greeted the two teens that followed him out of the rv. He disappeared back inside and stowed his luggage away before he found his way to the kitchen where Jude was sat. Sliding into the seat opposite of him, he flashed him a green. "Morning, dear Judi," he said cheerfully. "I see you're the only one who didn't have to leave the love of your life behind," he teased as he motioned to the laptop in front of the boy. Grinning, his knee hopped upand down as his foot tapped the floor Iin excitement and impatience.
    Alex reluctantly followed Lauren out to give her a last embrace and good bye kiss, to which the girl held onto longer than earlier. He wriggled out of her grasp to step back into the rv, gazing back and giving a wave at his girlfriend. "We'll be back in no time," he reassured her before he seated himself in the passanger seat. "Music?" He asked as he turned to the driver, eyebrows lifting in question. Their trip was beginning and what better way than to celebrate it than some music turned up on max. This was it, no rules or limits.

    Jude had gotten accustomed to the little nickname and never bothered fighting it, it was better than other nicknames he has received as a child after all which ranged from Chimp to Flower Child, truly horrid. Instead the other just smiled affectionately and nodded,"I'd never leave my baby" Jude said gently caressing the back of the laptop screen that had been covered in stickers.. He brought it every single day to school, all school trips, every party he attended, even to his uncles funeral, his laptop was his life, it held everything he needed which was mostly his art work. He would rather get back his heavy accent back than to leave his baby alone even for a day and god was his accent thick when he had first arrived to the new country, he could barely even speak English back then, it was horrible even if a few girls had thought only being able to speak German and horrible English had been cute."I'd sell all three of you boys before I leave my babe only"
    Demetri was not going to lie, he was so fucking excited about this road trip. It was absolute freedom and his three best friends, he didn't think anything could go wrong other than running out of gas in the middle of a high way or something along those lines. They were packed with delicious food, had money to last them the month or so, lots of time and endless possibilities. When Alex sat down at the passenger seat Demetri gave him a quick glance, smiling."I think I'm going to kick you out for even asking" Demetri joked as he nodded over to the radio, not bothering to do it himself because he was actually a very serious driver, especially with a vehicle as big as the one he was driving. Catching onto what Jude had just said Demetri took the quickest glance in the mirror to look at the younger guys."Watch what you say Jude, or I'll put cow milk in your almond milk container" he threatened though he would never do such a thing."Back me up here mate" Demetri aimed to Alex as Jude rolled his eyes lightly.

    Nathan let out a dramatic gasp when Jude said that, throwing a hand up and laying it on his chest. "How could you say such a thing?" He accused the other boy melodramatically, pitching his voice higher. "After all the things we've done for you," he continued with the act, narrowing his eyes at the male sitting opposite from him. "I cannot believe you." Of course, he didn't mean it seriously - though some it could be taken into account, for example that he was a little bit offended that his friend would so easily sell them out - but he knew that the laptop meant his life to Jude. He also knew he would probably get a few eye rolls from the whole group for the scene he was making but he enjoyed it and he loved being free enough to be himself around all of them without anyone ending the frienship. He would get teased about being a typical gay but sometimes his friends played along and there was nothing better than that. Besides, when he turned out to be a famous actor in Hollywood Uhe would show them all.
    Alex couldn't help but smile at the scene that unfolded. "Aw, he doesn't mean it. He's just pretending to be a cold, heartless jerk," he said, glancing back to the boy he had grown to be quite fond of through the rear view mirror. "But if I find out that's not true then I just might have to come back there, Jude," he said in a playful threat. "Before dear Natalie has a heart attack over there our starts wailing our ears out," he added with a grin. He could easily think of other reasons he wanted to go back there to the boy and have some alone time. It had been a while since they had found the chance for some fooling around and he was feeling particularly free and cheerful.

    "I'm sorry but do either of you come with 16GB Dual Channel DDR3L at 1600MHz, can you stay awake for 86 hours? I believe not, so when you do I'll consider choosing you over my love" Jude said as he tilted his head up and stuck his nose in the air, pulling his laptop closer to him and giving the rim a gently kiss while caressing the back fondly. If it ever came right down to giving up his three best friends or his laptop he would not hesitate to throw his laptop into a trash can. Nathan, Alex, and Demetri were all worth more than the internet and cute pictures of cats but he wasn't going to let them know that. He would give his laptop up for just one of them as well, their friendship beats 1TB/5400 RPM by a land slide. Biting down on his bottom lip Jude grinned all crinkled eyes and cheeky at Nathan,"You once made me a sandwich with not only meat but cheese as well on it, I'm not sure I could say you've done much good for me" Jude teased though he knew that was an accident and that Nathan didn't remember he was a vegan."Shut up Alex, you wouldn't do anything to me punk" Jude snipped lightly though he knew that Alex was stronger than him and if he wanted to he could really do whatever he wanted.
    One of Demetri's favorite things about his friends is their light bickering, their small little fights that bubbled from nothing at all. He just liked the way everyone clicked well enough to fight so lightly without any heat to their words, just fondness laced in empty threats."Go get him Alex, beat his ass for me and then I'll go in afterwards" Demetri joked. He would actually never lay a hand on one of his friends, they all meant a bit too much to him. He also couldn't hit Jude or Nathan, he didn't think it was very fair since Demetri spent hours and hours every week boxing so if he did need to fight he would be able to knock someone out. Demetri's eyes narrowed when Alex said 'Natalie' but he pushed it away knowing it was just light teasing. Demetri was okay with Nate being gay, being a 'stereotypical' gay, it didn't matter who he loved, it only mattered when it was Demetri himself who captured the others interest. That had been such an awkward time and it still is a bit.

    "Ohh! Did you hear that Alex, he said you wouldn't do anything to him, and then he called you a punk, I don't know about you but I would throw Jude out of the window by now"

    "Exactly, I made you a sandwich. See, how often do I do something like that? " Nate pointed out. "I don't up and make a sandwich for just anyone. I mad an effort and it's the thought that counts anyway," he argued. He was a lazy butt and loved to be taken care of instead of taking care of others. It could sometimes make him come across as self centered and whiny because he used whichever tactic at hand to get other people to do most of the work. Of course, he did his part when it came down to it. But if someone was hungry and he could just order a pizza instead of baking one himself, he would use that opportunity. Now, Jude was a special case because it was hard to find any fast food that was vegan. Nate was still trying to understand why the other teen was limiting himself so much and often did forgot about it out of this reason. "Next time I'll make you a salad," he added, after a bit of thought so he didn't end up saying something wrong again. A salad shouldn't be hard to make, the only issue would be that he had no idea how to make one taste good. That would be the challenge. "And I'm probably gonna regret saying that."
    Alex let out like a laugh. "Yeah, sounds like he's picking a fight. One you would never win, by the way," he said, addressing Jude at the end. "I would have no problem with putting you in a headlock until you take back what you said," he told him lightly, which was not at all true. He happened to be more careful and gentler when rough housing or dealing with him. It was just something different with this particular boy. "The only reason you're not in a headlock right now is because Demetri would throw us both out the window if we start a ruckos while he's driving. And my need to prove myself isn't that big that I would risk that this early into the trip. We have time for all of that later," he mentioned, his gaze flickering over to look at him through the rear view mirror. Alex was very well in the mood to go over for some physical contact but he knew it would be hard to sneak a make out session right undernraeath Nathan and Demetri's noses without them noticing a thing. So he'd keep his didtance for now, glancing out the window again at their surroundings.

    "Not very often thank goodness" Jude teased the other lightly, sticking his tongue out."And please don't, I hate salads unless they're made out of fruits" Jude said tapping away on the space bar of his laptop, scrolling down his dash which was filled with cute animals and some funny text post that made him giggle. He did appreciate that Nate could at least try, he and everyone else knew how damn lazy the other could get so him bothering to make a sandwich was really sweet and considerate. Wiggling in the booth seat Jude moved around till he was able to cross his legs indian style,"Mhm, shut it Alex, I'll cry and make you feel guilty enough to buy be meals the entire trip" Jude said smoothly, eyes flickering up to glance at the other who sat at front, he fucking wished Alex would come back here and put him in a headlock, he fucking wished Alex would shove him against the wall and make him shut up, he fucking wished."I'm so hungry," Jude whined leaning over the table to flick Nate on the cheek gently, making a silly face in his direction to bother the other.
    The sounds of his friends bickering was always sort of warm and familiar, if there went a day where none of the bickered then it would be sort of weird, like they weren't all friends anymore. It was part of their nature, whether it was Jude and Alex having a food fight or Nate and Alex play fighting or he himself pranking each of the boys, it was sort of just a part of them, all fun and games."Damn right you two better not start a fight in here, it has been only ten minutes, I will shove both of you out the door and take only Nate across this bloody country" Demetri warned the two though it was light since he knew the two would not start a actual fight with the aim of hurting each other."Maybe you should get Nate to make you a salad right now though we'll be at Denny's in five minutes"

    Nate huffed, throwing his hands up lightly. "I give up! " he exclaimed lightly. "You're so hard to please. So picky," he complained. "I don't take special requests," he said, crossing his arms "So, don't be runningto me when you're hungry," he shook his head. The only one he would take special requests for or would bother with actually giving his best for was Demetri. The other teen had always been his best friend and to add on to that, he developed a crush on him. That had been a disaster at first. Nate had almost thought that he would never talk to him again but he'd pished his feelings to the side and had managed to convince everyone he was past that phase. He still cared an unbelievable amount about Demetri though. The male meant so much to him that he'd rather spend all his life pretending to like someone else than lose him as a friend. Giving a whine in protest to the flick on his cheek from Jude, he stood up to get revenge, leaning over to poke him into the side lightly.
    "Hey, no crying in the rv. I'm adding that to our list of rules," Alex threw in because he knew Jude's puppy face all too well and that without any tears was more than enough to break through into his conscience. "But I'm gonna have to pay for half your meals anyway," he said playfully, which he didn't really mind though. He worked part time and wasn't greedy. He didn't mind spending money on his friends or girlfriend If they were ever short or he wanted to give them a little something. Turning to Demetri, he told him with a crooked smile, "You're the only sane one on the rrip beside me."

    Jude turned his face away and tilted his little nose up,"I'd rather not have you make me food then, you'll try to poison me" Jude said as it was kind of easy to give make him ill as he was allergic to countless of things like eggs, fish, milk, a few nuts, he was also lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant and all of those things were really embarking honestly. It was hard for him to find foods he could eat when he was out with the guys or his family, the first date he ever went to the menu didn't state some food allergens and he ate something with walnuts and milk(he specifically said no milk) and broke into a sweat, coughing, chest tightening, and redness of the face. It was his first and last date of his life, Jude firmly gave up after that, especially when the guys would tease him because of the mishap."Oi, watch yourself Nate, I'll smack the gay right on out of you" he hissed lightly, gently swatting the others hand.
    "I don't know about that Alex, I'm pretty sure I'm the only sane one, you were about to pick a fight with a foreigner, he could bomb us" Demetri said looking at Alex from the little mirror up top, looking fondly over the others crooked smile. He honestly really loved this group and this trip they had all planned out, Demetri had worried a bit that they weren't all going to stay friends with each other by the end of their last year but he was glad he was proven wrong."And I'll pay for all of our meals if you're willing to drive to our next destination, I'm getting fucking tired of there twats not putting their damn signals on, as if I could guess which direction their heading in" Demetri said angrily as he flicked his hand in the direction of the window and the cars out in front of him, it was early morning with the rush of people getting to work so quite a couple of people were reckless in their driving which could only piss off Demetri this bloody much. The guys knew how much of a safety freak he was, seat belts on at all times, always keep an extra ten bucks in your pocket in case of emergencies, spare phone battery, memorize the numbers of all hotlines, if anything bad happened he was quick to think and find a solution.

    Nate knew it wasn't Jude's fault that he couldn't eat many foods but the matter frutstrated him so much, he didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't imagine what it was like to have to live with that himself and he wished he could do something to help but he was no expert at cooking and food so there was really little he could do. Chuckling at the others attempt to get away from his ultimate poking skills, he just poked him again. "You can go ahead and try but you're hand would fall off sooner than I would ever even look at a girl that way. I'm gayer than a hot pink unicorn with a sparkly mane that's munching on a rainbow while getting it from behind," he proclaimed shamelessly grinning. "It's a wonder it doesn't rub off on any of you," he joked.
    Alex laughed lightly at the response from Demetri. "Jude wouldn't even be able to live with himself if he bombed a fly. I think we're safe from him," he said lightly. His stomach grumbled and he looked around to see if they were still far off from Denny's, which fortunately wasn't the case. A wonderful, yummy breakfast awaiyed them there. When he would be satiated by the meal there, he would definitely be in a bettermood and more awake, which meant he wwouldn't mind taking his turn in driving the rv. "I'll put you out of your misery after Denny's ," Alex assured him with a chuckle. He was a bit more relaxed about driving, more flexible when it came to uncomfortable situations or anything out of the ordinary.

    Jude could feel the hot burn on his cheeks the moment Nate said his gayness didn't rub off on the other. Jude was gay but just really quiet about it not that he was ashamed or anything, no body has ever asked him what gender he liked and just thought he was asexual, Demetri having made a couple of light jokes before because Jude sometimes felt too bad for someone who tried to ask him out that he would instead give them his number for a chat, the last/first date only happened because the guys pestered him too much(and he was cute)."I think it has rubbed off on Alex quite a bit actually" Jude said lightly before he gave Nate a big smile,"I think soon enough everyone in this RV will have a little bit of the gay considering we'll be living with you for the next month or so" Jude said with his voice dripping fondness because Nate was honestly like a bright star, it was great being around him.
    "Thanks man, some people don't know how to fucking drive" Demetri said as he honked the horn of the RV to the car that had suddenly witched its lane without signaling causing him to have to quick step on the break so Jude's Dad's car wouldn't get a scratch as he had promised to take care of it. Holding back the urge to get out of the large van and shouting and maybe even throw something at the car Demetri instead took a turn and made his way into one of the more spacious parking lots that was just around the corner from Denny's."Alright lads we're here, get your phones and Jude leave your laptop, this is a best friend trip not a 'i-love-my-laptop-more-than-people' trip" Demetri said taking his seat belt off and making his way to the door, hearing Jude groaned,"No buts!" He added before catching sight of Nate and somewhat smiling at the other, a little stiff but it was still real. They had hit a bit of a bump in their relationship but hopefully this trip will smooth it out.

    Nate grinned at the way the pink in Jude's face spread and he wrapped an arm around the other's waist on their way out of the rv. It got him thinking once more how he didn't know anything about who Jude liked. The boy never talked about it but he didn't want to be pressuring anyone in any way. "Come on. I'll be the substitute for your laptop," he joked as he urged him out. "A little gayness never hurt anybody. I expect a kiss from each of you as a goodbye after summer," he told them. "On the cheek will suffice. You'll all do it without making a problem. You'll see. I'll teach you proper manners," he said with a nod, convinced. "You're on my side, right?" He asked, turning his face over to the teen on his side. He was joking though it would be a lie if he said he didn't want it, especially from Demetri. At the smile from the older male, he smiled back brightly and hoped that he wouldn't take it the wrong wat. He was okay with his sexual orientation, he had said, just didn't want to be the focus of it and Nate understood that and respected iit.
    Alex hopped out of the rv, hungry and turned to wait for his friends. His gaze caught on the arm around Jude when the boys came out of the vehicle and he couldn't help the heavy jealousy that balled in his stomach. He had to force himself to keep up the smile. "Watch out, Nate. If Lauren hears about this, she's gonna come over personally and release her wrath on you," he said as he ripped his gaze from Jude and they headed into Denny's. "Besides, you can't be a little bit gay. You're either gay or straight," he mentioned, at which Nate stuck his tongue out at him.

    Jude scrunched up his nose at the thought of not having his laptop but he could deal with it, all of the guys kept him busy usually anyways. Feeling the arm wrap around his waist he wrapped his own around Nate's and pulled him in tight, they were a rather similar height so they fit snug against each other,"If any of these guys don't kiss you then they are idiots," Jude said glancing over his shoulder to look at Demetri who had to be the most 'straight' from the batch of boys."Demetri seems to be with you, and so am I, here's a kiss to prove it" Jude said before he leaned up a little and placed a soft peck against Nate's lips. Jude would never be ashamed or scared of doing anything with the guys like cuddling or hugging or laying against each other unlike some who would always say 'that's gay' or 'no homo'. Demetri going up and pushing the doors open for the rest of the group Jude gently pinched right under Nate's shirt."You could be bisexual or I think it's pansexual too," he said to Alex before flicking him off with the finger.
    Demetri wasn't too sure about giving a guy a kiss, let alone Nate of all guys in the world but it wouldn't be too big of a problem or deal? Right? Nate being gay was no big deal, Alex didn't seem to mind it, Jude clearly didn't, and Demetri was okay with it, love who you want to love fuck who you want to fuck. He just didn't want to be the focus of it unless you were a female. He grew up with heterosexual couples, it could be considered the 'norm' for him and he didn't want to change what he was used to, breast and lady bits, he quite liked them enough to not change after all."Alright guys you heard Queen Nate, all of us have to shower him in wet kisses by the end of the trip, or else he'll order his unicorns to trample us" Demetri joked lightly to not seem as put off as he actually was.

    "Aww," Nate cooed, "You're my favorite." He grinned at Jude next to him, cuddling closer. Glancing over at Demetri, wishing to know what the boy really thought. He thought that the older male didn't really seem that comfortable but maybe that was just his perception? If Jude said that Demetri was fine with it... and the remark that came from him, had him laughing lightly. It was then that he was pinched by Jude and he gave a small squeal in surprise, pulling away from him. He bumped into Demetri in the process. "Sorry," he said sweetly. "Jude's being two-faced. He's not my favorite after all," he said a bit louder for the other boy to hear. Scampering over to a booth, he sat down over at the window.
    Alex weighed his head to the side at Jude's answer. "Alright, that too. But then you still aren't a little bit gay. Just like you're not a little bit straight," Alex muttered, though his heart wasn't in the conversation because it made him question his relationship with Lauren and what he had with Jude. It wasn't right. At all. And he knew that. Only if he didn't think about it, did he manage not to freak out at himself. Before it did come to anyone noticing his inner turmoil, he slid into the seat opposite of Nate. "Boy, am I hungry!" He exclaimed, grabbing the menu. "I'm gonna get myself like 50 pancakes," he remarked.

    Jude pouted when Demetri took the seat next to Nate and he had pretty much no choice but to sit beside of Alex. It wasn't like he didn't like Alex, because fuck did he really like the other, and that specifically was the problem. Grabbing the menu Jude pursed his lips and looked across the menu options, most of the foods containing egg and milk and butter more than likely and he sort of hated it, he would love to eat bacon and chocolate chip pancakes and all of that stuff that sounded so good but he simply couldn't."You're going to get bloated and hen explode Alex, I don't think any of us want a dead member of the group" Jude said as he flipped to the next page of the menu, foot gently nudging the others.
    "I searched online and Denny offers baked potatoes, seasoned fries, grits, oatmeal and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing you're allergic too" demetri told Jude with a warm smile. He took it as the oldest to take care of all of the boys(even if Alex is not very much younger than him), he wanted each of them to be safe and happy and have fun during this trip and so he took it upon himself to research and memorize different food restaurants that had vegan food, have four maps with their various destinations, couple of first aid kits, extra batteries for cell phones, and much more so no matter what happens then they were ready for a natural disaster or even just boredom.

    [don't worry about it! you're reply is still amazing :3]

    Nate didn't look up from the menu that he was looking through himself but he was listening to what Demetri was saying because when wasn't he paying full attention to him? He felt the familiar warming in his stomach at how caring the boy was. He thought it was awfully cute how he always felt the need to take care of everyone and make sure that everyone was content and comfortable. It was that trait among others that made his love for him flare up all over again, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it, bury it under casualness until it suffocated and disappeared into thin air. His heart just wouldn't let the boy go and maybe it was because they spent a lot of time together and that was his mistake, keeping him as his best friend, it was probably what made him crush on him in the first place. Nate couldn't help but worry for a moment that this trip was exactly the wrong thing to be doing. This could be the end of him. "Also, I don't want to be washing blood and guts out of this shirt. You know how much I hate cleaning and it's one of my favorites and I swear I'll come looking for your ghost to haunt the hell out of you," he added on to the remark from Jude, which he had just caught and used to rip himself out of the self destructive thoughts.
    Alex huffed at the both of them, shaking his head, especially at Jude, looking over at the boy next to him as he set the menu down again. He had already decided on pancakes with maple syrup. That was a meal he loved and an offer that he wouldn't just let slip through his fingers. "You underestimate the powers of my stomach. I'm like a wolf, I can eat as much at once as I weigh," he said in playful smugness as he smiled. Feeling the light nudge on his foot, he leaned his leg back against the other's fondly. Alex turned to face the other two boys to make sure they wouldn't notice what was going on between them two underneath the table, though that worry was probably just him being paranoid.
