Aryc and Devon sat on the floor in Devon's room. The latter was setting up his DVD player, "So, what do you wanna watch?" He asked, pointing to the DVD shelf.

Aryc bit his bottom lip and crawled over. His eyes scanned the selections before his face brightened, he pulled out Aladdin. He handed it to Devon cheerily.

Devon looked at the case. The movie that was chosen was bought for him to show his nephew when he came over, but it turned out that Aryc liked it too.

"Okay, Aladdin it is."

Devon carefully removed the disc from its' case and inserted it into the drive. He waited until the home menu popped up before pressing play movie.

"You like Aladdin?" Devon asked, turning his body towards the other.

Aryc nodded quickly, "Yeah... It's peaceful... And you get to see Aladdin make a lot of new friends..." He murmured the last part softly.

Devon's expression melted into a softer one. He scooted closer to the boy, "You must have been lonely, huh?"

Aryc blushed but nodded nonetheless. "Yeah... Not many people want to be friends with me..." He sucked in a breath, "I'm not exactly the 'fun' type of person."

"Well, I wouldn't say that." Devon shrugged. He smiled at Aryc, "You're pretty nice and being cute is also a bonus." He paused seeing Aryc's shocked face. Oh shit that sounded pretty gay didn't it? Wow Devon.

Aryc stared looking startled before he got over the initial shock and smiled a warm gummy smile. He shyly played with his pant cuffs. "Thank you..."

"N-No... No problem."

The next day Devon walked into school. He saw his best friend Pierce. "Yo!" He greeted.

Pierce stared at him before crossing his arms, "Where were you, man? The party was lit!" He asked with his deep voice.

Devon shrugged, "Dunno. Here. There. Anywhere but at the party." He answered vaguely.

Pierce rolled his eyes, "Yeah, okay." He said as his eyes trailed over to someone walking past.

Devon looked up and saw who it was. He grinned before nudging Pierce, "You slept with Max Winfeld?" He asked tauntingly.

Pierce looked appalled, "What the fuck? No!" He shouted. He then cleared his throat, "I mean, we made out a little. A lot."

Devon laughed, "Rip buddy." He shut his locker and looked over his shoulder. He spotted Aryc and a smile formed on his lips.

Aryc was fumbling with his lock before finally getting it open. He shoved his stuff inside and got his AM class text books.

He felt as though someone was watching him and looked up to see Devon. He blushed before smiling shyly and waving his small and petite hand.

Devon must have been smiling dopily because Pierce nudged him, "You cheat on Angela or something?" He questioned.

"What? No." Devon shook his head. That was weird, he hadn't thought of his girlfriend all weekend nor that morning.

"Oh. Okay, so you've been talking to that weird shy dude? Alex or something." Pierce inquired thoughtfully.

"No, it's Aryc." Devon slammed his locker shut, "and he's not weird. He's just... Awkward."

Pierce felt a grin form on his face before he whistled, "If you say so."
