Aiden sighed as his teammates escaped to the arcade, “Vinnie you will pay for this…” he mutters and tosses the napkin in his hand into his plate in frustration.

“Woo” the coach says sitting with him, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you with your team?”

“I’m tired…”

“That’s not a good excuse Woo…”

“Okay, okay…I feel out of place with them, I am still technically the ‘new kid’….”

“Doesn’t matter, you go in there and make friends, they’ll accept you for you…now go! And have fun while you are still young! ” the elder pushes him making him stumble, Aiden nodded and bowed his head before going to the arcade.

He saw Young-min and his twin playing DDR 2, Siwon watching them; Minwoo and Dong-woo, Hong-Ki and Yoochun playing air hockey; and A.J, Dongho, Hyung-Jun, Kibum, and Jung-min were playing shooting games.

Aiden walked over to the Jo twins just when they finished “Aiden you want to play against Kwang-min?”

“Yeah come on, you did say you were a dancer”

“Where did you hear that?”

“The first day you and Kevin-ssi were there at school, chemistry class”

“How come I don’t see you?”

“I got transferred to another room the next day”

“Ohh…” the teen whispered then nodded “I accept your challenge”

“Don’t cry when you lose~” Kang-min said playfully

“I won’t, I’ll just try again the next round”

“The game is starting!” Young-min yelled and the two looked at the screen and started.

Jung-min stopped his game and watched the two dancer, “Jung-min! Jung-min save me!!” Dongho yelled, when he died he glared at the elder

“What is so distracting?!”

“Dang….” He whispered,

“’Dang’ what??” Dongho asked before looking to find what he was staring at, Aiden.

“Hey quit staring at him, let’s play another round”

“No I’m good; I’m going to see who’s winning…” Jung-min said before walking away

“That Aiden better stay away from him…” A.J said, taking a drink from his coke,

“Why?”

“Because I went to middle and half of junior high with him…he was nick named ‘The heart breaker’….he’d hit on anyone, boy or girl and try to get with them, once he gets what he wants” the elder crushed the can and tossed it into a nearby bin “Get it?”

“He crushes him, and tosses them away carelessly like trash…”

“Exactly…” A.J stated

“You’re not just saying this….because your classmates”

“Not at all, everything I said is true….and Jungminnie already has his eyes set on Aiden…” the two looked over to see Aiden and Kwang-min staring at the screen, soon yelling “HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?”

“This thing is broken! I won!”

“No way, you missed more than twelve!”

“You didn’t get all perfects!” Kwang-min said, pointing.

Young-min kept them apart, sighing as the two kept bickering about who won

“What’s wrong?” Siwon asks before biting into his pizza

“The game said these two are tied and neither one of them believe it…”

“Aiden is good at everything” Siwon says hugging Aiden from behind

“Siwon-ssi…”

“Yes~?”

“Let go”

“Why my angel?”

“Because I said…”

“No~”

“Hey, that’s my angel your hugging” Jung-min says getting Siwon off and hugs Aiden tightly, making the younger blush

“Jung-min let go please”

“No, you are huggable~”

“Hey when Aiden says let go, you listen” AJ steps in and pulls Aiden back and around him

“AJ!” Jung-min smiles “Long time no see buddy~”

“Yeah Jungminnie” Dongho and Hyung-Jun took Aiden back to the tables

“You okay?”

“Yeah, thanks Dongho, Hyung-Jun…”

“Whatever…”

“Somebody’s grumpy…” Aiden mumbles looking away, Dongho glared towards him

“Come on, let’s go; I need to walk you home…” Aiden looks at him and smiles slightly,

“Okay, let’s go” the latter agreed “Hyung-Jun, can you tell our coach that we left to go home”

“Sure, be safe you two”

“Thank you, see you at school”

“Bye Aiden, bye Dongho”

“Later…” was the reply he got.

                                                            0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Aiden sighed as his legs began to tire; he had been standing for half of the ride, why?

An elderly lady came aboard and of course Aiden gave up his seat and stood, Dongho offered to switch but the younger insisted on standing.

Now regretted…

“Aiden do you want to sit” Dongho asked

“No, it’s fine…”

“You know what…” he moved over a bit and pulled the younger down and they sat together, Aiden tries to get up but Dongho grabs his wrist making him sit still, “Sit, I cannot stand watching you”

“Fine…” the younger agreed sitting down with him, ignoring the fact they were close to holding hands.

Ten minutes after that they finally get off at their stop and start walking “You did good today….” Dongho says softly,

“I didn’t do much…I let too many runs come in…”

“No…the infield still needs work, you’re pitching was fine…”

“Thanks…” Aiden said as they reached the Woo’s house, “Wait my keys…Vinnie has them…”

“What?? So we’re stuck out here??”

“Unless I left my window slightly open…come on” he says going to the side and climbs over the fence

“Are you sure?” Dongho asks from the other side

“Yeah, just do what I did, you’ll be fine” soon the other joined him and they both walked to the shed on the other side, “Its open, we can get in through here”

“You’re crazy!” Dongho yells

“Shh! The neighbors will hear!”

“Sorry…how are we getting up there?”

“Well, I’m going to climb up like I usually do, and you are going to use a ladder”

“Sounds fair…” they walk into the shed and Aiden opens a small trap door and pushes a ladder up and soon climbs out with the other following.

The younger sets up the ladder and climbs up the wall

“How do you do that??”

“When Kevin and I were thirteen our soon-to-be uncle thought about training us like we were in the army for P.E….so he bought some shelves, cut them into different sizes, and drilled them into the wall; see?” he says pointing to one of them, the elder had to squint before nodding

“Come on open your window!”

“Alright, alright…” Aiden muttered swinging himself up onto his window ledge and opened the window and reaches down, “Grab on, I’ll help you up”

“O-Okay…”

The younger pulls the latter up and into the bedroom with ease

“Nice room”

“Thanks…not what you expected?”

“Ehhh…give or take….”

“Alright, get out so I can change”

“Fine, I’ll find something to watch…” once out Aiden quickly changed and headed down and placed his uniform in the laundry room

He soon joins Dongho on the couch “Movie?” he asks seeing nothing good on T.V

“Sure”

“You’re the guest, you pick”

“But you are the host, so you should”

“How about I get snacks, and you pick the movie”

“Okay”

They did their tasks and ended up with an action movie.

Halfway through the movie Aiden fell asleep, Dongho noticed and debated whether or not to let him lay on the couch or his shoulder, after a few minutes he pulled the teen closer and laid his head on his lap

“There…better than stretching your neck…” the elder muttered, soon his hair; twenty minutes later Dongho fell asleep too

When Kevin and Eli came back they saw the sight and smiled, “Shhh” Kevin whispered as they got their own snacks and hung out in Kevin’s room.
