"Hey MAAADDY!" Kevin's high pitch squeal echoed through the hallways, and into the dorm where Matt was sitting on the couch. His footsteps pounding on the floor as he dashed towards the dorm. "I MIIIIISSSSSEEDDDD YYYOOOOOOOOU!"

Matt let out a small sigh and shut his book. Running his fingers through his bristly hair, he set the book down and looked around the fairly large room. It had two bunk beds, one on each side. The T.V. in front of him had a dancing D.V.D. logo spinning around the screen. Grabbing an empty cup that was beside him, he starting for the kitchen.

As the pounding steps grew louder, Matt began to pick up the pace towards the kitchen. He set the glass on the counter beside the sink, then started for the door when his stomach rumbled.

Matt looked over to the fridge pondering the idea of eating before he heard Kevin's breathing coming in loudly. Wandering to the door he unlocked it, opening it casually, only to be tackled to the floor by Kevin. "Hey Kevi!" He said as the two began to laugh. "Why are you always so loud!" He questioned as Kevin began to snuggle up against him.

"Because I missed you silly!" Kevin replied wiggling around on Matt as his neon green backpack jingled around.

"It's good to see you too Kevi" Matt replied trying to push him off. "But do you have to tackle me every time you come back from class?"

"Yes I do!" Kevin replied before lifting his head up to look around the room. "Is she here?" He purred, quietly looking through the doorway skeptical of his nemesis.

"No..." Matt lifted his arm and checks his watch as he tried to wiggle free. "She won't get back for another ten minutes!"

"Good." Kevin smirked before stretching his hand out and wiggling it around as if it were a monster. "He's back!" He cried out as his hand began to crawl around Matt's leg.

"H-Hey!" Matt cried out in panic as the hand began to crawl towards his button. "Watch where your hand is crawling!" He continued with a nervous laugh.

"Soorrrrry, I just can't help it, my hand has a mind of its own sometimes! For some reason he always seems to want to play with your pants!" Kevin chuckled before he began to tickle Matt, using his body to stop him from squirming away.

"EEP!" Matt cried out trying to flee. "Can't we at least, go inside? " Matt asked through his fits of laughter. "Our neighbors, get mad when you tackle me! In the hallways EEP! And do this!"

"Ehh, let em get mad." Kevin replied continuing to tickle him. "I liiiikeeyyy right heeere!"

"Come on..." Matt begged, using all his might to try and escape as his body writhed against Kevin's. "I don't, want, to go to, another reprimanding!" He cried out, laughing uncontrollably as his cheeks started to turn red.

Kevin lets out an exasperated fake sigh as he stopped tickling Matt and bent over kissing him on the cheek. "I guess, that's fair, those reprimands are awful." He rolls over Matt onto his backpack, then stood up with a noticeable bulge protruding from his pants.

Matt lay there looking up at Kevin's bulge in surprise as he tried to recover from the tickle assault. "How was class?" He asked, getting up and dusting off his ocean blue shirt.

"It was fine. Would have been better if yooou were there though!" Kevin replied as Matt reached for his toes. A sudden swat on Matt's rear made him squeal again and dash forward a few steps.

"KEVIN!" Matt whined, rubbing his butt as he turned around, red in the face as he pouted. "That hurt!"

"Let me make it all better." Kevin offered, puckering his lips. "I'll kiss it all better just bend over for me again, and this time pull down your pants!"

"No thanks!" Matt giggled before starting back inside. Once in range of Kevin, he made sure to take long strides to get inside "I am good thank you very much!"

"You're no fun!" Kevin pouted following him in.

"Can you get the door please?" Matt asked, walking back over to the couch. "I was right in the middle of a page in this awesome book I was reading."

"Sure!" Kevin answered as he shut the door and quickly locked it.

"I heard that!" Matt called out, falling onto the long black futon couch. "Unlock the door please, we don't want Marcy to be locked out when she gets back!"

"Yeah..." Kevin groaned unlocking the door again. "Wouldn't want that..." Kevin shrugged his backpack off and tossed it towards his bed as Matt picked up his book. It thudded on the floor on the carpet, rolling a few times before coming to a halt. "I'm hungry Maddy!" Kevin complained as Matt began reading again, "Let's go get something to eat, my treat!"

Matt smiled, shutting his book with extra force. "For real? You're buying me dinner? That's awesome!" He Jumped up and let the book fall to the ground near him. "We should invite Marcy too! Make it a party!"

"I think she had some big project she had to do today." Kevin lied as he began wandering towards Matt in a casual manner.

"Oh..." Matt replied, his excitement beginning to fade. Looking over at the door, then back to Kevin he let out a little sigh. "I wish she could come with us. She's funny when she is trying to talk and eat at the same time. I try and make a game of what she is trying to say when she mumbles!

"Yeah that's true I guess, she does have a hard time trying to talk when she eats. But don't worry Maddy! I'll be talkative enough for the both of us!" Kevin reached forward and started to tug on Matt, pulling him forward a few steps. "Here let's go now, I'm super hungry!"

"Going somewhere?" Marcy asked, in a questioning tone as she shut the door behind her with a soft click. Her long black sitting on the top of her head in a simple bun, and her casual black backpack slung over her shoulder.

"Hey Marcy!" Matt bubbled, his smile returning as he rushed over to her. "How was class?" He asked before hugging her. "We were just about to go get dinner! Kevin said he was going to pay and everything!"

"Oh did he?" Marcy replied in a fake cheery voice, glaring over at Kevin with murder in her eyes. Kevin glared back at her with a scowl. "Mind if I tag along? I haven't gone out to dinner in forever." She asked looking down to Matt, who had let go and took a step back.

"Sorry, boys night out! I don't have enough money for you to join us." Kevin countered, cracking his knuckles one by one.

"Oh please!" Matt begged, turning around and looking at Kevin, his eyes wide. "I want her to come too!"

"But I thought we were going to have some boy time?" Kevin whined, "Besides we were going to leave right now!"

"We can have boy time any time!" Matt argued as he pulled his wallet from his tight tan jeans. "It's not often we all go out to dinner together! I'll pay for Marcy, and you can pay for the two of us! That way she isn't costing you a dime!."

"Always the problem solver aren't you!" Marcy praised with a devious smile. She slid her backpack off and put it on the kitchen table.

Kevin growled letting out an annoyed huff. "Fine... But I don't think you will like where we're going."

"Where are we going?" Matt asked turning around and looking back to Kevin with a curious grin.

"We're going to Banger's!" Kevin replied with a smirk as Marcy took in a sharp breath. "Think you can handle all the festive men Marcy?"

"I can handle men in tight clothes. Can you?" Marcy replied with a smirk as Kevin began to blush.

Kevin wandered forward and wrapped his arms around Matt and kissing his cheek. "I can handle anything as long as I have my best friend with me."

"Best friends!" Matt corrected putting his hands around Kevin's. "Both of us are coming!"

"Yeah... My bad." Kevin muttered rolling his eyes. "Well let's get going."

"I need to take a shower first!" Marcy blurted out trying to stall.

"Oh, bummer..." Kevin replied with a fake frown. "I guess you will have to just meet us there after you do all that feminine stuff you enjoy so much."

"Or you can just wait for a half hour." Marcy interjected continuing her attempt, "I don't need to take a long shower!"

"Hm. Could, but I'm hungry now!" Kevin countered as he began to pull Matt around Marcy towards the door. "MADDY! You want to go now right? Marcy can just come join us after she is done."

"Well..." Matt began, as he looked over at Marcy.

"Or I can shower real quick, and change into something more casual! Then we can go out and see a movie after dinner! We could even get popcorn!" Marcy suggested, pulling the scrunchy from her hair, letting it flow freely to her shoulders. "That way you have your food, and we can enjoy a good chick flick." Marcy suggested reaching forward and tugging on Matt's shirt.

"Gross!" Kevin imitated a puking noise before sticking his fingers to his head in the shape of a gun. "Chick flicks are more boring than watching paint dry!."

"But what about your project?" Matt asked checking his watch. "Don't you need to get that done?"

"What project?" Marcy replied slowly looking at Kevin, then back to Matt with a curious look.

"You know, the big one you had to take care of today..." Matt explained, itching his head and checking his watch again."A movie would take too long, and if you need to get the project done, then you shouldn't be going out to see a movie..." Matt pointed tapping on his watch.

"That would make sense," Marcy agreed nodding her head. "Except I don't have a project to do." Her eyes flicked over to Kevin who was looking at the door. "Who said I had a project?"

"Kevi did..." Matt pointed behind him as he took a step away from the both of them. "He said you wouldn't be able to come to dinner, because of the project you had to do."

"Well he must have been mistaken." Marcy coughed, adjusting her posture to look more hostile. "I have no project due today!"

"Well then it's decided." Matt imitated a judge with his gavel. "Let's go to this Banger's place, and then we can go see a movie!"

"But I don't wanna see a movie!" Kevin whined out. "I'd rather come home and pway wif you!"

"We don't have to go see a movie if Matt doesn't want to. We could come back after dinner and play a game board game." Marcy suggested, wandering to her bed and reaching for her purse.

"Like monopoly?" Matt asked hopefully, as a large smile grew across his face.

"Sure baby! Anything for you!" Marcy giggled, starting back towards them.

Kevin started towards Marcy with a growl. "Keep it in your panties..."

"I will if you will!" Marcy countered with a sly smile.

Matt looked between the two of them confused as they glared at each other. A few seconds of grouling silence pass before he starts to giggle. "You mean Kevin wears panties?" His giggle turns into a full-on laugh. "No he doesn't! Kevin wanders around in his underwear all the time. They look like panties, but they are called speedo's. I guess fancy swimmers like to use them."

"Oh really? Marcy asked raising her eyebrows, looking to Kevin who was smirking. "Matt honey, speedo's are basically the same thing. In fact, he probably wears them to-"

"Can we just go!" Kevin interrupted heading for the door. "I really am hungry, and I know Banger's has a growing line about now. Maybe we can just hurry this along?"

"I'll drive!" Matt called out pulling out a pair of keys from his other pocket.

"SHOTGUN!" Both Marcy and Kevin cried out at the same time.

"Kevi was faster that time!" Matt decreed, pointing his hand to Kevin. "Not by much though."

"Yes!" Kevin jumped throwing his hands into the air. "I got there first! Let's go looser!" He laughed as he races for the door opening it.

"I'd rather take my time, then get there first." Marcy replied walking over to the door. She smirked as Matt rushed into the hall. "I hear you've had that problem for a while now. She exclaimed as Kevin held the door for her to leave"

"Cute." Kevin replied. "Looks like we have a sore loooser on our hands!"

"You two are so funny!" Matt giggled as he slowed till he was hardly walking at all towards the exit. "I don't get what you two are talking about sometimes, but it sounds funny!" He called out behind him.

Kevin chuckles watching Matt's hip sway side to side as he continued his pace forward. "You know cutie one of these days I'm going to take you to my bed, and you are going to love it!" Matt giggled again and resumed his pace.

Turning around and smirking at Kevin."We already have sleepovers silly! We don't need to sleep in the same bed!"

"Can you stop eye fucking him for two seconds?" Marcy hissed at Kevin as the two started after Matt.

"Nope!" Kevin giggled as he pranced off to catch up with Matt grabbing his hand. Marcy murmured something under her breath before running off after Matt and grabbed his other hand.

"You know we're not kids anymore." Matt chuckled out as they both squeezed his hand, "We don't all need to hold hands when we walk..."

"I know," Kevin said keeping pace with Matt. "Marcy let go. I was here first!"

"Exactly you've been here longer. You let go!" Marcy countered,

Matt froze mid step letting go of both their hands and pulling himself free. Both Kevin, and Marcy looked back at him concerned. "Can't you just share my body?"

"Nope," Kevin replied with a soft smile as his cheeks began to pink. "I was your friend long before this skan- I mean Marcy showed up."

"And I'm a girl, so I should be your bigger priority than this slu-I mean Kevin." Marcy barked back.

"Fine." Matt let out a sigh. "You can both hold my hands then. I just thought maybe we shouldn't take up so much of the hallway. It can get crowded in here. And if anybody wanted to get past us, then they would have to cut around one of the walls to get through. I think that's rude, so I thought maybe we should just take turns." Matt looked down at the ground as the two looked at him.

"Well in the name of chivalry, and because I am such a noble gentleman I will let the lady go first." Kevin replied waving his arm to her.

"How thoughtful of you Kevi!" Matt looked up please that he wasn't mad. "I will make sure to hold your hand for a while too when Marcy is finished"

"No, let him hold your hand first." Marcy countered suddenly as she took a step back. "This is his date after all."

"D-Date?" Matt asked, pausing before looking back at the ground nervously. "Is that why you..." He looked back up to Kevin, his smile gone. "You w-wanted to g-go on a date Kevi with me?"

"That was the plan" Kevin stated, his smile fading as Matt looked back at the ground anxiously. "But I like this much more. I get to spend time with you and my other BESTEST FRIEND! " He grabbed Marcy's hand and smiled.

Matt perked up, looking at Kevin with a quivering smile. "Y-You mean it? You're not mad?"

"Course not silly!" Kevin replied as Marcy pulled her hand away from his, then wiped it on her jeans.

"Aw... That's so sweet!" Matt let out a relieved laugh and took a step forward kissing Kevin on the cheek, earning him a vicious glare from Marcy. "You are always looking out for me! You're just the sweetest guy I know!"

"What about me?" Marcy asked, looking at Matt. "Aren't I the sweetest girl you know?"

"Psh no!" Matt replied looking at her with a smirk. "My momma beats you like ten times over! You're the second best though!"

"What about Kevin? W-Why is he the sweetest guy? What about your dad, don't you love him like your mom?" Marcy asked beginning to turn red in the face.

"Uh, no..." Matt replied, his smile dropping instantly as he began to study the floor.

"Shut your damn mouth Marcy, don't bring him up!" Kevin hissed annoyed with her.

"No, it's ok..." Matt mumbled in a soft tone, "I forget sometimes she wasn't around before he left..." He looked over to Marcy trying to keep a straight face his eyes quivering. "My um, my dad's not around anymore. A few years before you came around, he came home really drunk. Claimed my mom was sleeping around. When he couldn't find anybody at home but me. He assumed I was..." He took a deep breath his eyes starting to water.

"It's ok..." Kevin consoled as he pulled Matt into a hug. You don't have to say anything more if you don't want too."

"No, she should probably know..." Matt replied pulling away from the hug with a gentle push. "My dad, he thought I was, doing bedroom things. With her. Then he almost beat me to death."

"That's horrible!" Marcy cried disgusted as she pulled Matt in for a hug. "Mathew I'm so sorry hon. I didn't know."

"It's fine..." Matt coughed out as he tried to breathe through Marcy's chest. When she finally let go, he took a deep breath, and a single tear rolled down his cheek. "After I got out of the hospital, I heard that he left town. I figured he moved and started over after that..." His voice dropped and his hands began to shake. "I hope he's happy wherever he is..."

A small gasp escaped Marcy's lips. "You mean you aren't mad at him?"

"No..." Matt replied simply as he wiped his tear away. "Why would I be? Just because he made a mistake doesn't mean I should be mad at him. I was taught to forgive those who wrong me. Even if they wronged me a bunch of times"

"You're a bigger man than I ever could be..." Kevin spoke up before he stepped forward and began rubbing Matt's shoulder. "I would have hunted him down and kicked his ass."

"Well I'm glad you're not me then." Matt responded gloomily as the three stood in the empty hall. "Maybe we can just move away from the subject now please?" Matt looked up to Marcy. Her long black hair trickling over her ears.

"Sure thing sweety." Marcy replied with a soft smile.

"Let's just get to the dinner place, I'm really hungry." Matt spoke up, changing the subject. "What's good there Kevi?"

"They have really good wieners there." Kevin suggested, offering his hand for Matt to take. Matt tenderly extended his hand, and the three began walking again.

"He meant edible food, not backroom drama you idiot!" Marcy coughed from behind them.

"I was talking about the food." Kevin replied trying to keep his calm. "Look this restaurant is owned by a hoity toyti gay guy, and his husband. They love making sexual themed dishes, and they just so happen to import their meat from Germany. Thus they make top-notch wieners."

"Oh?" Matt asked looking at him. "Do they have anything other than hot dog's?"

"Sure! They got thick noodles in a thick creamy white sauce, as well as tightly stuffed peppers with sausage packed in them. And they make really good Ice cream too!" Kevin smirked as Matt's eyes widen.

"They sell ice cream there too? This place sounds awesome!" Matt began tugging on Kevin's hand as he tried to speed down the hallway towards the main door his enthusiasm returning. "Let's go then! I want ice cream!"

"I'm coming!" They both replied at once.

"Just slow down a bit buddy, we aren't as hyper as you are about ice cream." Kevin called out as he's tugged down the long corridor. "And who said I was getting you ice cream?"

"You did..." Matt replied as he reached the main door and pushed it open with his free hand. "You told me there was ice cream there!" He held the door waiting for the two of them to wander out. "That means you want to get me ice cream!"

"I'm glad you offered to pay for him!" Marcy giggled,

"At least I got kissed!" Kevin retorted with a smug smile.

"Can you two stop messing around!" Matt called out practically racing forward towards the parking lot with Kevin being dragged behind him "I want ice cream!"
