It's a hot summer afternoon, you got off work a few hours ago and you're exhausted. You decide to cool off and have a few drinks with your best friend, quickly heading to her house to surprise her with a night of getting drunk and laughing your asses off. You've known her since middle school and despite all the changes in both of your lives you're still as close as ever. You were there even when she got pregnant and had her first child.

You ring the doorbell, bottle of whiskey in hand, ready to spend the night like the good old times. You really need it after such a stressful week.

But when the door opens, you're eyes meet a pair of adorable, wide, icy-blue ones, and you instantly know who they belong to. Surprised, you frown and greet Leon, your best friend's son, not expecting him to be here. He was supposed to be gone for college, but then you remember that summer break has already started for them.

"Hey, Leon," you greet with a smirk, albeit a bit awkward, "Long time no see. I'm here to see your ma, is she home?"

He greets you back with a nod, smiling shyly like he always does when he's around you. "Hey, Cloud. Mom's not home right now, she left to get some groceries. Would you like to come in and wait for her inside?"

Unable to refuse the offer you nod and walk in behind Leon, settling in. Now you're sitting on the couch with him at a respectable distance, the mood slightly awkward. You look at him, almost as if analyzing him. He's... grown a lot, and even though you know you shouldn't be thinking about him this way, you can't help but admire his soft, handsome features. He's so shy around you, it's cute.

"So..." Leon breaks the uncomfortable silence, an adorable hue of pink dusting his cheeks as he speaks, "How's work?"
