"Daddy! You'll never believe what happened! I lost a teeth!"

Jace slowly looks up from his phone, watching as Ela runs into the room, jumping up and down. She's holding a small baby tooth in hand, shoving it in her father's face.

"Wow, baby! You're getting so big!" Jace smiles, loving Ela's innocence. He sits up slightly, taking the tooth into his hand. "And, it's a tooth, baby girl."

"A toothhh!" mocks Ela, running around excitedly about the loss of her tooth. "Do you think the tooth fairy will come see me?!"

"Oh, why of course! Make sure to put this under your pillow tonight. I'll call the tooth fairy right now to come get it!" entertains Jace, watching as Ela jumps around squealing. "How much money do you think the tooth fairy will give you?"

"Umm.. I want candy! I want jolly ranchers! Or, or, or, or- or chocolate!" babbles Ela. "Oh! Daddy, can we play Wii games?!"

"Of course baby. Give me a moment though. I have a headache. Give me.. 30 minutes?" pleads Jace, moving the small girl's hair out of her face. "Wake me up then, okay?"

"Okay!" Ela salutes her father before rushing back to her bedroom, going to play with her Barbie's until she felt it was 30 minutes. Jace set himself a timer to wake up in 30, before placing Ela's tooth in a baggie and then laying back on the couch.

"Damn. That party fucked me upppp," Jace rubs his temples, slowly closing his eyes. He realizes now that he needs to chill with the parties.. because not only does he have Ela to take care of.. but his baby mama and him have another baby on the way.

"Daddy! I hear you talking in there! Go to sleeeeppp so I can beat you in Just Dance!"

And with that, Jace closed his eyes and was slumped.

Meanwhile, as Jace was spending time with his daughter, Keandrian was currently at his house, knocked out cold in his bed as if it wasn't already time for him to be up and awake. He'd be up at this hour even during a regular hangover, but this hangover was the worst of all. I mean literally the worst of all.

He had woken up earlier just to go vomit on the toilet, and even that was harder to do. He was sore. So sore that he could barely even walk to the bathroom. He had so much trouble moving, it wasn't even funny. This man for real sat on the bathroom floor and weeped for a minute because of how frustrating it was.

And on top of that, he had a nasty ass headache. He was really beginning to regret drinking that much last night. Hell, he was beginning to regret even going to that party in general.

So now he was just sleeping on his bed, being in too much pain to do anything. There were like five bottles of water sitting on his nightstand along with a bottle of painkillers. He was out of it, that's for sure.

Suddenly, Keandrian was woken up out of his sleep when he heard the sound of his phone ringing. He groaned and turned to his side, not caring to see who it was. All he wanted to do was lay here and sleep, and that's exactly what he was going to do.

Jace woke up after his alarm went off. He stretched his body, making his way to Ela once he silenced the noise. Ela was grinning ear to ear at the sight of her father.

"Daddyyy! It's just dance time!" Ela reminded, climbing up onto Jace's leg. "I'm gonna beat you!"

"Oh, you wish!" Jace was quick to wake up, hearing Ela's voice. There was nobody in this world he loved more than Ela. And to be fair, Ela was the only person on the planet Jace hadn't thought about killing. After all, that was his own flesh & blood.

"I'll race you to the living room, daddy!" Ela dashes off. Jace gets himself together, rushing after the girl. Ela is already sitting down, putting in Just Dance when Jace makes his way into the room.

"Daddy, can we dance to Uptown Funk?! I like that song! It's good! It's catchy!"

"Of course. Anything you want, baby girl."

After waiting on the game to load, the two strapped the Wii remotes onto their arms. The two then had their dance off, with Jace purposely failing so that Ela could win. He would literally do anything to see her smile. His motto was Ela over anybody.

After about four rounds, Jace headed to the kitchen to make Ela a peanut butter sandwich. He grabbed his phone and decided to text Keandrian, with a simple 'hey' before tossing his phone aside.

Keandrian heard his phone ding, and that only served to tick him off even more. Why when he wanted to be left alone completely, that's when everybody felt the need to hit him up?

He turned over at last, grabbing his phone off the nightstand and checking his notifications to see who was blowing them up. He saw a few missed calls from Canyon, a text message from.. a dude he would never speak on again, and then another text message from a number he didn't recognize.

What Keandrian seemed to be focused on more was that unknown number. He didn't have a clue on who that could be. So, he clicked on the message and read over the 'hey' they had sent.

Squinting his eyes, Keandrian typed out the words 'who dis?' before hitting send.

Jace finished Ela's PB&J, heading back to the living room and handing her her plate. Ela sat on the floor, beginning to chow down. Jace grabbed his phone, raising his eyebrow at Keandrian's reply.

'damn. you just gonna forget me like that after i blew yo shit out? crazy.' Jace pressed send, before he placed his phone aside and cut on Cocomelon for Ela.

Jace's mind was focused on Keandrian now. How's he gonna forget him like that? Was his dick game ass? Was he really THAT ugly that Keandrian would rather forget about him? Damn.

"What the fuck?" Keandrian's face contorted into disgust as he read over the message that was sent. He still couldn't figure out who the hell this was, and he most definitely couldn't remember getting fucked in any way possible. What the fuck was going on?

Getting a bit infuriated, Keandrian typed out 'huh? what are you talkin about?" and hit send. He typed out another message saying 'who are you bruh' and hit send as well. This shit was starting to mess with his head. Who was this person? Why were they texting him? Were they related to the party? And if so, why can't Keandrian remember anything about them?

Assuming it was Gavin since the two planned on chilling together today, Jace grabbed his phone. And instead of being happy, Jace's face dropped faster than a dead body does when you shoot it.

'really? it's jace, dumbass. you really that fucked up from last night you can't remember? 😐. forget it . Bye. '

Jace rolls his eyes, undeniably hurt by the way Keandrian was acting. Seeing as all that happened between the two was sex, it wasn't gonna kill Jace to block him. So he hovered his finger above the block button, only to be distracted by Ela.

"Daddy! I'm still hungry! Can I have another PB&J pleaseeee?! Oh, oh! And with some chips this time?!" Ela pleads, handing the plate to her father. Jace drops his phone, instantly caring to his daughter's needs.

Keandrian was so confused right now. He got even more confused when he read over the message he just received from Jace. Either he had terrible memory, or this dude was just making up some bullshit. And at this point, Keandrian was starting to believe it was the second reason.

'jace? yeah i never heard of no jace. gon head and block my number or sumn..'

As Keandrian was about to press send, something in the back of his mind immediately told him not to. Jace... That name was starting to sound familiar. Not because of the events that happened last night, but because of that day Benjamin had slept over. He remembered the conversation they had about the male, and he wondered if it could've been the same person he was texting.

Keandrian was quick to delete the message he was about to send and replaced it with a 'wait, how you look like?'

Jace sat back down, handing Ela her plate. His baby mama was blowing his phone up right now, so he took a picture of Ela eating, sent it and then went right back to Keandrian's message.

'u bout slow as fuck.' But nonetheless, Jace sent Keandrian a fit pic that Gavin snapped yesterday as they were leaving the house. 'if that don't refresh ur memory, ur dumber than HELL. matter fact? u would be dumber than noah fat ass self.'

Keandrian looked over the picture Jace sent, and his eyebrows raised when he realized this dude definitely matched Benjamin's description. Lightskin, always wearing a beanie.. and the most noticeable feature? Hideous. So fucking hideous.

And when he examined his outfit in the photo, his memory from last night was slowly coming back. But did he instantly remember their sinful act? No, not yet. All he could remember was when the lightskin offered to help when he was drunk walking at the party.

'ohhh yeah i remember yo hoe ass 😂 damn you ugly as fuck' Keandrian texted the male. 'bro tried to help me at the party and now he wanna say we had sex. quit reachin bruh, ion do that gay shit. and keep my homie name out yo mouth fr'

'ok. fuck u and ur homie.' was all Jace replied with, before focusing all his attention on Ela. This hurt— but it wasn't that bad. Because for whatever reason, after Jace has sex the other party loves to act funny towards him. So to Jace, Keandrian was just another body.

"Ela, daddy loves you very much." Jace tells the girl, giving her a soft smile. "I'm really sorry that me and your mommy weren't able to stay together."

"Its okay, daddy! I know you guys both love me very much, so it's ok!" Ela replies, oblivious to how sad her father looked at the moment. "I know daddy will find another woman to be my step-mommy and love me even moreeee!"

"Yeah." Jace choked on his spit. "One of these days, baby."

Keandrian just stared at Jace's last message for a minute. He rolled his eyes, quickly texting back 'ight, ion wanna see yo gay ass texting my phone again' before exiting out of imessage, locking his phone and putting it back on the nightstand.

He was about to roll over and go right back to sleep, but his phone started ringing once again. This time, Keandrian actually checked the screen and saw that it was Canyon. So, he answered on the fourth ring, putting the phone up to his ear.

"Aye.." Keandrian croaked out.

"Yoooooo, Kan! Bout damn time you answered." Canyon spoke on the other end of the line. He was currently in his car, getting ready to go to pick up some food he ordered earlier. "Wassgood witchu, bro? How'd you sleep? Were you able to do everything okay?"

Keandrian let out a sigh at the question, honestly wishing he could say yes to being okay. His head was pounding, and he couldn't get himself out of bed even if he wanted to.

"No.. I'm in pain, man." Keandrian admitted as he rubbed at one of his temples. "On god this the worst hangover I ever dealt with. My head hurts, my body hurts.. Everything hurts."

"What? Nah, you lying right now." Canyon furrowed his eyebrows at what Keandrian responded with. "Where you at?"

"In my bed, bruh. I can't even get up. Only time I got up was to use the bathroom. I took a painkiller and then I went back to sleep, and Ian get up since." Keandrian informed. "Damn, that party fucked me up. I shoulda stayed home."

"No way that party got you that fucked up. How you gon wake up sore the next day?" Canyon questioned the brownskin. "What was you really doing then? I forgot to ask you that again."

"I don't know, I can't remember anything." Keandrian held onto the side of his head in discomfort. "Look, all I remember is saying hi to Noah, then I remember we took shots.. And then I drank some more.. Then.. Then that's when-"

"You know what? Fuck that. Did you eat sumn atleast? If not, I can get you sumn from Mcdonald's real quick." Canyon cut Keandrian off completely, deciding to just help with his well-being instead of asking questions.

Keandrian immediately perked up at the mention of food. He hadn't eaten anything all day. Honestly, all he wanted to do was to chow down on something, and he was glad Canyon brought it up before he did.

"Please?" Keandrian then softly adjured. "Just get me a twenty piece and a sprite. I'll pay you back when you get here."

"I gotchu, gang." Canyon nodded his head as he pulled up in the Mcdonald's drive thru. "Imma be there in 10, ight?"

"Ight, bet." Keandrian started grinning from ear to ear as if he were a child. "I appreciate you, twin. I really do. Finna give you some head to show you how thankful I am."

"Getcho gay ass on, bruh." Canyon cackled and so did Keandrian. He pulled up to a speaker and rolled down his car window. "I'll see you when I'm done ordering, doe."

"Ight, bet." Keandrian told the older before hanging up.

Jace was now on his way to his BM's house to drop Ela off. The two had been hanging out all day, but it was time to switch off.. sadly.

After letting Ela out of the car and watching her enter the house, Jace made his way over to Gavin's.

"Jace!! You made it!" Gavin grins, pulling the male in for a tight hug. "I thought you was gonna pussy out like alwayysss!"

"Nah. I didn't have anything to do, so I might as well come hangout wit yo borin ass. What we doin tho, hoe?" Jace questions, ignoring Gavin kissing all over his face. "You gay as shit."

"I'm gay? Funny. But anyways, I was thinkin' we go on live and start some dramaaa. Then we play the PlayStation? Or vise versa?" Gavin inquires, rubbing up and down Jace's body. "Whatever you wanna do, wit yo sexy big dick ass."

"Gay as shit, bruh." Jace laughs, walking further into the house and plopping down onto the couch. "Let's play the PlayStation then start shi. I gotta think about who I wanna start beef wit."

"Ay Ay Captain!" Gavin yells, rushing over and cutting the PlayStation on.

Canyon made it to Keandrian's place after what seemed like an eternity in traffic, and it has officially been an hour since he arrived. He brought the food for Keandrian, helped him out with a few things due to his condition, and right now he was just watching over the younger to make sure he was alright.

We all want a homie like Canyon. Let's be honest here.

The two were chilling in the living room at the moment. Keandrian was sitting down on the couch with his phone in hand, while Canyon was sat down right beside him, rolling up a blunt.

"I needed that fucking shower, bruh." Keandrian spoke out of the blue, putting his phone down on the table after locking it. "Canyon, bro.. Thank you. I really do appreciate you for helping me. I coulda done everything myself, but-"

"Nah, Ion wanna hear it. Yo ass would've still been in bed if you was by yoself. You know I gotta take care of my son, especially if he fucked up the day after a party. C'mon now." Canyon lightly scolded Keandrian, licking the backwood of the blunt to seal it.

"I'm just saying. You didn't need to stay and watch out for me, you coulda just gave me the food and-"

"Keandrian." Canyon cut him off completely, deadpanning the brownskin. "Imma need you to shut up, gang. Whether you like it or not, Imma be there for you when you need it. Cause I'd be fake if I just left without making sure you was straight, right?"

Keandrian just stared at Canyon and blinked a few times in response.

"Exactly. Ion wanna hear that shit." Canyon laughed as he pressed the blunt together, removing some of the excess from it. Keandrian playfully shook his head at what the older said, flipping him off.

"Fuck you, you so crazy." Keandrian then joked.

"Love you too, bitch." Canyon smiled before he put the blunt up to his lips. He felt around his pocket for his lighter, and when he found it, he took it out and raised it up to the end of the blunt, sparking it.

"You found out if Ben went to the party?" Keandrian randomly asked Canyon, raising his eyebrow.

"Hell yeah. You wanna know what his slow ass told me?" Canyon took a few puffs of the blunt before carefully passing it over to Keandrian. "He said they found him sleeping in the bathroom upstairs. He bout dumb as hell."

"Bruh, ain't no way." Keandrian cackled at the thought of Benjamin again, taking the blunt from Canyon. "You telling me he went to the bathroom just to sleep? Or was he that geeked?"

"He said he was geeked up. I mean geeked up geeked up. This dude really feel asleep while he was pissing. That's crazy." Canyon shook his head. Keandrian literally exploded out of laughter upon hearing that.

"He so fuckin stupid." Keandrian continued to chortle, not expecting that from Benjamin whatsoever. "Nah, Imma say that shit to his face when I see him. I'm weak."

"Wild as hell." Canyon let out a chuckle at that. "I thought he was gon fall asleep while deep stroking a bitch. I was wrong, though."

"Oh yeah, hold up.." Keandrian took a single hit of the blunt and quickly blew the smoke out of his mouth, passing it back to Canyon. Canyon took the blunt, raising his eyebrow at Keandrian before motioning for him to continue. "I think I need to talk to Ben. I don't know, I wanna talk to him bout this dude he told me about."

"Who?" Canyon began to get interested in the topic.

"This dude Jace." Keandrian blurted. "He gon hit my phone talm bout we fucked last night. That's weird. Cause first of all, I'm not gay. And second of all, Ion remember fucking anyone at that party."

"Word? Lemme see the messages." And with that, Keandrian grabbed his phone from the table and unlocked it, clicking on imessage before opening up Jace's contact.

"You can scroll up." Keandrian handed his phone to Canyon. Canyon did just that, scrolling up to see the whole conversation between Jace and Keandrian earlier. A confused look was quick to form on his face.

"What the fuck?" Canyon muttered as he stared at Keandrian's screen. "So you're saying Ben knows who he is?"

"Yeah, he told me that on Wednesday when we linked." Keandrian informed the older. "I don't know. I did see him at the party, though. When I was tryna get our drinks, he came up to me and tried to help me.. And that's all I remember. What I don't remember is us fucking like he said."

Canyon was slowly taking in this whole situation, and if he was being honest, he couldn't really get himself to believe Keandrian's story. Because for one, he still remembered when he found Keandrian in a bedroom. And for two, why the fuck else would he be sore?

It was funny how Canyon was the one who was starting to figure out what happened. You would expect for it to be Keandrian, but no. He was too stupid and too gay to remember.

"Oh yuh. I'm the goat at this game, Jace. you know dis." Gavin tells the lightskin, literally sitting as close to him as possible. "Ouu, you so warm.."

"You bout gay as fuck. Chill." Jace laughs, pushing the male away slightly. "Yo barn door been opening in my direction lately, hm?"

"Mhm.. I wanna try some dick." Gavin mutters, looking up into Jace's eyes. "I heard you got an anaconda.."

"Anaconda is wildddd," Jace says, raising his eyebrow at Gavin who was now rubbing on Jace's member. "Ay Gavin, chill."

"Jaaaaceeeee.. you know you wanna fuck me. Remember that argument we got into last week? I know you wanna fuck my luh ass for dat. Get me righttt, dadddyyy.." Gavin flirts, rubbing on Jace's jawline. "Cmon.. don't be so stingy wit dat dick."

"Bro, Gavin, for real-" Jace attempted to move away— but he wasn't gonna lie, being rubbed on like this was turning him on. "Get yo hands off me, gang."

"Let's fuckkkk.. a luh sex aint ever hurt anybodyyyy.." whines Gavin, getting onto Jace's lap. He now moved his hips against the male's member, letting out a needy moan. "I need you, Jace..."

"Gavin-" Jace attempts to run again, but it's of no use. So without thinking, he pulls Gavin in for a kiss as the two ugly males grind their bodies against eachother.

"You is gay.." Canyon trailed off as he looked over at Keandrian, his eyes swiftly getting wider in shock. "On soul bro, you is GAY."

"I didn't fuck him!" Keandrian yelled, rage beginning to take over him completely. "On god I was the only one in that room! Nobody else was in there, it was just me!"

Words couldn't explain how fucking pissed Keandrian was at the moment. Let's start off here. When the two were talking about Jace a few minutes ago, Canyon thought it'd be the perfect time to ask Keandrian why he was found in a bedroom. Keandrian was quick to back himself up by saying he was only sleeping, but of course, nobody was going to believe that shit. Canyon then proceeded to ask Keandrian why he was sore, and that was enough to set the brownskin off. He felt like he knew what the older was trying to get at, and he didn't like that in the slightest bit.

Thanks to Canyon though, while they were in the middle of arguing, Keandrian was slowly starting to remember everything. Everything that happened between him and that hideous lightskin last night. From the moment Jace had choked him up, to the moment where they exchanged numbers after the amazing sex the both of them shared. It was a miracle. But was Keandrian going to keep doubting it though? Yes he was, because he didn't want for people to find out. And most importantly, he didn't want for people to find out he was gay.

"Ight, ight.. Imma need for you to calm the fuck down. You can be honest with me on this one, bro." Canyon raised his hands up and slowly waved them back down, basically trying to motion for Keandrian to chill his angry chihuahua looking ass out. "If you was the only one in that room, then why was you in there after talking to that boy? And why the fuck else would you be sore right now, huh?"

"Oh my god, bruh.." Keandrian angrily put his hands in his hair, trying to come up with another shitty excuse. "Did you see anybody else in there when I came out?! Stop fucking reaching! And Ion know why I'm sore, but I know it ain't got nothing to do with that!"

"You sound stupid as hell." Canyon shook his head. "Just say you smashed him and that's it. You ain't gotta lie to me like that. If you told me you was gay, I wouldn't care bro. You still gon be my bestfriend."

"But I'm not even gay!" Keandrian proceeded to lie. "Y'all want me to be gay so bad. What's making y'all say that shit? I wanna know."

"Boy, look at the way you acting right now. All cause I asked you a simple question about a dude. If that ain't enough to prove that you gay, then Ion know what is. And don't forget about that boy you used to fuck wi-"

"Stop!" Keandrian cut Canyon off completely, fuming at this point now. "We was cool and that's it! You swear I got history with that dude! Ion even talk to his hoe ass no mo!"

"Keep fucking lying, Kan. You really are stupid as hell if you think Imma believe that shit. We gon continue to argue til you admit that you like dick in the ass, and that you had sex with olé boy Jace at the party." Canyon spoke in a stern voice. With that, the two continued to go back and forth for what seemed like hours, with Keandrian swearing on his life that he wasn't gay, and with Canyon proving his zesty ass wrong.

"Fuck- Jace! Slow down, daddy!" Gavin begs, placing his hand on Jace's stomach in a sad attempt at stopping the male. Jace ignores Gavin's cries, gripping Gavin's hair as he just shoved himself deeper.

"Wait!- fuck! Wait-" Gavin genuinely couldn't even speak at this point as he just looked into Jace's eyes. Jace was annoyed— this man was dry as SHIT. The Sahara desert had more water than Gavin right now.

"Shut the fuck up! This what you wanted, right?" Jace asks, slapping Gavin, leaving his handprint as he just gets deeper. "So you gon' take this dick!"

"Okay! Fuck!" Gavin cries, liking it when he got slapped. He genuinely hates that that turned him on as bad as it did, but oh well.

Gavin was busy thinking about how Jace was gonna be his man after this. But Jace on the other hand? Oh, he was thinking about how he should've brought some lube or stayed his ass at home.

Keandrian was now by himself at the moment, locking up the door after ticking Canyon off to the point where he got up and left without saying another word. Even if they were mad at each other, it didn't matter at all. They were going to start talking again in a few hours or a day at most. Nothing major.

Now that Keandrian was all alone though, he was finally able to be honest with himself. And god, the situation was starting to hit him in the face. Everything he had felt for Jace last night was coming back, and it was messing with his head again. How could he forget? How the fuck could he forget about what happened between them? Why was he just now remembering how good it felt? And why did it take him so long to realize that... he was attached?

Grabbing his phone, Keandrian was quick to open up imessage, clicking on Jace's contact and rereading their conversation. A look of disappointment formed on his face, realizing how rude he was being earlier.

After a minute, Keandrian typed out a simple 'hey' and sent it to Jace, cringing at the fact that he was texting him again after the way he acted this morning.

"Jace! I'm- I'm cumming!" Gavin loudly yells, back arching off the couch. Jace grabbed Gavin's boxers, making a makeshift gag to shut the boy up. Gavin's moans were hideous. Jace was so fuckin' ready to leave.

After a few more strokes, Gavin released himself, most of it on his face and stomach. Jace pulled out, slipping his clothes on.

"Ay, Gav. I gotta go, I promised.. uh.. my alligator I'd walk him. Bye!" Jace rushed to the front door, before sprinting to his car. Once inside, he used every single hand sanitizer in his car, even putting it on his face.

"Gross as fuck. The things I do when I'm horny.." Jace groans, putting the pedal to the metal just to get home. Once he arrived, he noticed a new notification.. from Keandrian?

'hi.' Jace simply sent, rushing into his house. He strips himself , throwing his clothes in the trash can. Yes, the trash can. He then brushed his teeth before taking a long hot shower.

Keandrian heard his phone ding, and he'd be lying if he said it didn't catch him off guard. He didn't expect for Jace to actually reply to him, but guess he was wrong.

He looked down at his screen and read over the message sent to him. He wasn't even going to lie, that 'hi.' made him feel unsettled, but he gathered himself together, typing out 'you not mad at me right?' and hitting send.

Jace finally got out of the shower, feeling like he was in the depths of hell from how hot he had it. He dried off and dressed himself, cutting on his TV since his favorite show would be on tonight. Once he was settled, he grabbed his phone to see Keandrian's text.

'what do u want? what are u texting me for?' Jace replied.

Keandrian read over Jace's new message and sighed, expecting to get spoken to in that tone. But regardless, he began to type out his response, getting ready to ask for forgiveness.

'look, i just wanna apologize for the way i acted with you. forreal. i was too fucked up to remember anything when you texted me, and i ain't realize who you were until just now' Keandrian texted back. 'i didn't mean what i said earlier. i was being stupid, and i apologize for that.'

After Keandrian sent both of those messages, he ended it off with another message saying 'forgive me? i'm sorry'

Jace stared at Keandrian's message a few times, blinking in slow motion. He was genuinely surprised the male apologized after the way he acted. But Jace wasn't gonna pretend it didn't hurt him, because it clearly did.

'i forgive you, but im still upset with you. idc how fucked up u are, u couldve responded back when u remembered shit. u rlly got me fucked up with that.' Jace sent. He then stared at his phone for a moment. 'cause if u acting like this now, if we ever fuck again, ik u gon pull this shit again and im not fw that.'

Keandrian couldn't even be mad when he read over Jace's text message, because he knew the other boy was right. What he wasn't right about though was that last thing he said. That wasn't true at all.

'you right. i should've texted you when i remembered. my fault.' Keandrian typed out and hit send. 'but just cause i made a mistake don't mean imma do it again. it ain't gon happen again. i promise'

Keandrian then paused for a moment before typing again. 'i wanna make it up to you. what can i do?'

Jace made a face, he was a bit confused on the what can i do? part, because he was so used to nobody ever making anything up to him.

'alr. and that's up to u, however u think u should make it up. im home rn tho, so if u wanna pull up jus gone head.' Jace sent, before sending his location to Keandrian next. 'i'll be home till bout 7, i have a lame ass dinner to go to.'

Keandrian instantly raised his eyebrows as he read Jace's text message. He was allowed to stop by? At Jace's house? Right now? Holy shit.

Viewing the location and seeing that they didn't live that far away from each other, Keandrian decided he'd pull up since he wasn't necessarily doing anything right now. He texted back 'ight bet, i'll be there in 10 minutes' And when he hit send, he dropped his phone and headed towards his room, looking for some clothes since he was half naked right now.

'kay. i'll be waiting. ring the doorbell when u here.' replies Jace, putting his phone down. He then decided to take a quick Power Nap whilst waiting on the boy. For some reason, Jace felt.. happy?

Jace genuinely felt happy about Keandrian coming over. It was almost impossible for him to sleep— he didn't know WHY he felt like this, but he did. Something about Keandrian just intrigued him.

When Keandrian decided on just wearing a black tee, a pair of gray sweatpants, and his slides, he rushed out of his bedroom and over to the front door, grabbing his keys from the key hanger and shoving his phone down his pocket. When he was sure he was ready to go, he opened up the front door and stepped out, now walking to his car that was parked on the front lawn.

"Damn, he really got me acting like this." Keandrian mumbled to himself as he unlocked his car and got in. He felt.. excited about seeing Jace. It didn't feel like he was going to his house to make it up to him anymore. It felt like he was going to his house because he wanted to see him in general.

Once Keandrian got situated though, he put Jace's address into the gps. He turned on the engine and did a U-turn out of his driveway, now driving down the road to the direction of the other boy's house.

After exactly ten minutes, Keandrian had finally arrived. He took a look at Jace's residence, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't feel nervous now. He took a breath and got out of the car anyway, locking it before strolling over to Jace's front door.

And as soon as he got there, he rang the doorbell just like Jace had said. He took a step back, now waiting for the lightskin to open the door.

Jace groaned upon hearing the doorbell. But remembering that Keandrian was the one probably ringing it, Jace hopped up and rushed to the door. He was wearing a white tee with black sweatpants that showed off his print all too well. And of course, a black beanie to finish it off.

Jace opened the door, a small smile forming on his face once he saw Keandrian. He wrapped the boy into his arms, letting out a content sigh.

"I hate sayin' this shit, but I missed you." Jace whispered, grabbing the male and happily throwing him onto the couch.

"I missed you too, not gon lie." Keandrian admitted as well, laughing a little when Jace threw him onto the couch. He sat up and carefully adjusted himself on the cushions, looking around and taking in the inside of Jace's house.

"Aye, you got a nice house. I fuck with it." Keandrian complimented, turning around to look at Jace now. "You ain't tell me you was rich."

"Rich?" Jace repeated, raising his eyebrow slightly. He then just shrugged, deciding to go with it. "Yeah, rich. I guess you could say sumn like dat."

Jace wrapped his arms around Keandrian, snuggling into the boy. He kissed the male's cheek before licking it as well. He even wrapped his legs around him.

"I missed you sooo fuckin much.." Jace sighed. "Ion know why I feel like this."

Keandrian wasn't going to lie, he could feel his heart skipping beats at what Jace was doing right now. He too didn't know why he felt like this towards the lightskin, due to hardly feeling this way with someone he just met, but something about the boy was different. There was just something about him that everybody else lacked.

"Awww, you so gay." Keandrian cooed at what Jace said. He couldn't get himself to resist it, so he wrapped his own arms around the other male, pulling him closer as if they weren't already close enough.

"I know I already said it, but I'm sorry.. Forreal. From the bottom of my heart, bruh." Keandrian's voice went soft, resting his head on Jace's shoulder. "I didn't mean to leave you like that yesterday, and I didn't mean to talk to you like that this morning. I don't know what I was on. I was just.. I was.. I don't know.."

Keandrian closed his eyes and sighed, tightening his arms around Jace. "I don't know how I could do that to you. I made it seem like Ion care when I really do. Honestly, Ion even know why you accepted my apology. I just.. Just.."

"Hey, hey." Jace calls, voice now low to help comfort the male. "No need to apologize so much. I get it. I can understand."

Jace was trying his hardest to comfort him— but he didn't really understand, so how could he really comfort him? Regardless though, he was going to try. Because if the two only knew each other for less than 48 hours, he felt an undeniable bond..

A bond that.. he didn't want to break. And for once, Keandrian was someone he didn't want to murder as soon as he stepped through the door. Something about Keandrian.. soothed him.

"I'm just glad you're back, that's all that matters. I mean, I'm not forgetting how you acted, but I respect you and I'm gonna move forward from it." Jace smiled slightly, squeezing the male tighter against his skinny frame, almost as if he was doing the heimlich on the other.

"Why you still so far from me? I want you inside me." Jace frowns, squeezing Keandrian as tight as he could get himself to, forcing the male closer until there was no space.

Keandrian finally felt at ease when he heard those reassuring words coming out of Jace's mouth. He was no longer tense. And he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in, slowly relaxing himself into Jace's embrace.

"I appreciate you, I really do." The brownskin murmured after a beat. "And whatchu mean I'm still too far? I'm already closeeee! Any closer and we not gon be able to breathe, bruh."

Keandrian laughed, still tightening his grip around Jace nonetheless. He even nuzzled his face against the boy's neck so that they could really close the space in between. When he did that, he took in Jace's scent.

"Damn," Keandrian swooned. "You smell so good."

Jace could feel his face slightly heating up at Keandrian's words, as well as his actions. He carefully kissed the male's forehead, squeezing him a bit tighter before relaxing.

"Thank you, baby. I try." Jace reaches over and grabs a blanket, putting it over the two of them. "Take a nap wit me. You not goin' nowhere. You stayin righttt here.."

And with that, Jace slowly closed his eyes. It didn't take long for the male to fall back asleep.

Keandrian huddled himself closer to Jace and let his eyelids fall over his eyes, letting out a hum in content.

And just like that, Keandrian was out like a light as well.
