    You and your best friends named Boyfriend and Pico are having a sleepover at your house. You guys are in your bedroom as you are sitting down on the bed,on your phone as you ordered McDonald's full of Chicken nuggets,French fries, cheeseburgers and Chicken patties,especially you guys favorite milkshakes. Boyfriend's favorite milkshake is Blueberry. Pico's favorite milkshake is Orange and Your favorite milkshake is grape.

    Boyfriend is just chilling out on the other side of the bed,drawing on his notebook as he enjoys getting creative at times besides Rapping. Pico,however,was making some snacks for the upcoming movie night coming up,watching Sonic the hedgehog movie 3 but hiding his feelings and thoughts to himself as he didn't want to talk about his negative thoughts to you and Boyfriend as he was getting insecure about them since the incident happened in High school. He is in a kitchen making Pretzel bites,Popcorn,Cotton candy, S-mores and brownies,especially crispy Mac and cheese. He got carried away with the snacks sometimes but he loves cooking delicious snacks more than anything. You finished up their order as it already on their way,putting your phone down for a few minutes.

    As Pico finished the snacks,Boyfriend yelled out to Pico through the bedroom.

    Boyfriend:Hey Toughie!? Can you come here please for the minute!? I wanna make a suggestion on what we can do next!

    Pico:Ohh! I'm coming Softie!

    Pico spoke up as he decided to leave them here for now as he walked over to the bedroom. As he got there,Boyfriend noticed him as it seemed like he has bags underneath his eyes.

    Boyfriend:Pico. Come here! You seemed a little bit tense base on your bags underneath your eyes. Have you slept well lately?

    Boyfriend patted a spot for Pico to sit down on the bed as Pico walked over to him.

    Pico:I have slept well. Besides,these bags can go away in a minute. So what is your suggestion Boyfriend?

    Boyfriend is looking at Pico in a suspicious look as he is concerned about him.

    Boyfriend:Are you sure you're doing alright?

    Pico:Of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be alright?

    Boyfriend:I'm not saying that you wouldn't be. You seemed tired and stressed. You need to rest if you keep overworking on something.

    Pico:Okay. Fine,I'm not alright. I got a Job as a Police Officer lately,trying to get all of these cases done and out of the way. I don't want to let my team down Softie and I need to be strong enough to push myself through.

    Pico only explained half of the truth,yes,he has been overworking himself as a police officer since after High school but that wasn't the case.

    Boyfriend:Toughie,come on! You are not letting your team down. Remember,We have been best friends since Elementary throughout the years of High school. I know it's not the whole truth. There is more than you being so overworked,huh?

    Pico:Nope.

    Suddenly,The delivery team with their McDonald's is here as they knocked on the front door.

    Pico:Oh! McDonald's is here! I got it!

    Pico stands up from the bed as he walked out of the bedroom to the front door of the living room.

    Boyfriend smacked himself in the face with his hand as he putted his drawings away in the backpack for now,being very suspicious but concerned.

    Pico payed a tip to the Delivery team as he started walking back to the bedroom.

    Pico:Back guys!

    Pico walked over to the bed as he putted the McDonald's bags on the bed. Boyfriend gently grabbed Pico's hand as he pulled him on his lap.

    Boyfriend:Toughie,I'm serious and concerned about you. It feels like you have been hiding something from me and Sam (Your OC.). You know you can tell us anything.

    Pico:I appreciate your concern Softie but I'm truly okay.

    Boyfriend sighed frustratingly but he is willing to never give up on Pico no matter what Pico is hiding.

    Boyfriend:But you're not okay. You have bags underneath your eyes getting worse,A same green sweater you covered since after the shooting incident and you're acting strange like you wouldn't trust us anymore or more importantly,trying to ignore us.
