You Plus Me Equals

"Leo, did you hear anything I said?"

"Of course I heard you, some guy got angry at you… what did you do this time?"

"Leo if you don't pay attention to me, I am going to bitch slap you. I think if you don't at least listen to me once today you will deserve it, and I won't feel guilty at all."

"What, Ah, I am sorry, I was just trying to tell max I couldn't hang out, but..but..."

"you didn't even get a chance too before you ended up agreeing to hang out with him... didn't you? Evan asked flatly, knowing his friend too well.

Leo looked up at him sheepishly.

"Sorry, Max says that he doesn't want to miss hanging out together. Don't kill me, but I said okay. He is really persuasive. He says he wants to go to a party and I said yes."

"Great, now I am going to end up the third wheel all night. Maybe that can be my costume. I can wear a paper that says "Third Wheel" and just stand next to you guys all night." He complained.

"Hey, that's not a bad idea.." Leo teased.

Evan glared at him frustrated.

"Fine so what lame thing are we doing instead?" Evan w.h.i.n.ed.

"Just wait, I am asking, okay," Leo said then started texting his thumbs moving rapidly across his screen.

Talk, talk, talk, talk

Leo's eyes lit up as soon as his notification went off. Evan grimaced

'Tchh, known each other since we were five and I have suddenly been replaced by some hot dude."

Leo looked up at him and rolled his eyes and giggled playfully. Evan pouted and turned away not in the mood.

Leo laughed. "Oh, fine you win, you know I can't replace you, right?" he leaned against him, wrapping his hands around his arms tightly and resting his head against the side of his shoulder.

"Pshhh, could have fooled me…" Evan quipped back, but the edges of his mouth quirked into a tiny hope of a dashing smile.

"What does he want to go as? I am assuming he wants to do like matching cutsey outfits or something equally as stupid... " Evan pretended not to be interested but tried to side glance at Leo's phone as he texted.

"He wants all of us to go as gods," he said

"Gods?" Leo looked at him oddly.

"Yeah, like, you know Thor, Loki… Gods."

"Oh, okay I can do that." Leo smiled.

Evan nodded, trying not to be impressed, but that theme was kinda genius. Those were all popular characters, and even doing your own costume wouldn't be hard if you decided to.

"Cool, Gods… not bad for a Halloween theme."

Leo beamed back up at him, obviously pleased that Evan approved.

Evan squinted with annoyance and shook Leo off his arm, the perfect moment they were having spoiled by Leo's enthusiasm.

"Jesh, do you have to look so pleased when I give him one tiny little compliment. Ehhhh. Tsk tsk tsk." Evan shouldered his bag and walked away from Leo and his gross gushing.

"Wait! Wait up Evan I promise I won't beam like an idiot anymore." Leo yelled after him.

"I don't think you can stop even if you wanted too, you're practically a headlight," Evan called back not bothering to wait up.
