Only the Good Die Young

Chapter Three

Tony glances over at his house as they start to walk past it. They had changed up directions to head for the pizaa shop, so now they were heading right by it. "We can stop at my house now, and save the trip back," he says shyly.

"Hm?" Mike stops and glances back at Tony, an eyebrow raised.

"My house is right there," Tony nods to the run down trailer. "We can just stop now."

"Oh, all right." Mike smiles cooly and cuts off to the concrete path to the steps, stopping for Tony to catch up to him. Tony cuts ahead to the door and pulls the key from his pocket, unlocking the door.

"Uh, come in?" Tony holds the door open for Mike. Mike follows in and stands awkwardly in the living room. "I just need to grab my jacket." Tony ducks down the hall and into his tiny bedroom, easily finding the jacket hanging on the peg. He grabs it and walks back into the living room where Mikey is admiring a painting hs aunt had done. She was quite the artist.

"Did your mom do this or something?" Mike asks, his eyes glued on the vivid colors of the flowers.

Tony shakes his head. "My aunt did. She's really into that stuff."

"Well, tell, her I think it's awesome," Mike says. "You ready?"

"Yeah," Tony says shyly, heading for the door.

They continues off to the pizza parlor, and Tony could feel a pit forming in his stomach. This was a really bad idea. He almost wishes he would've just told Mike that he'd been to a part before, they could've just went on the normal date then. They reach the pizza parlor shortly, and he can see a couple of the preppy kids hanging out in there. Yes, even though it was mostly kids that didn't give a fuck or partied all the time, there was still the preppy popular kids. They were oboxious as fuck, but usually kept to themselves.

Mike pushes past the, he much braver than Tony wold ever be, and orders. Tony pulls some money out of his pocket to pay, but Mike literally forces it back into his pocket saying, "I got this Tone." A few lines of sweet talk later he had literally gotten their meal for free. Tony was a little dazed, he had never seen sombeody actually pull that off.

Mike takes the food and sets it down in a booth, wating for Tony. They start eating quietly, and questions flow through Tony's mind. "Why did you ask me out?" Tony suddenly blurts out, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
