--= Preston's + POV =--

Mitch almost tripping over his chair from standing up so fast I watched as Mitch scrambled to get his coat before sprinting out of the house, nearly tripping on the concrete stairs of our porch for the second time.

Cringing at the thought of Mitch falling, a smile tugged at my lips as I let out a chuckle before trying to restrain myself once more. Staring at Mitch's back side I studied his panicked body figure as he bolted out of sight.

"Erm......Bye then?" Giggling at the way Mitch just stood up and left I looked down, feeling my phone buzz in my pocket. Picking up the phone out of my pocket I read the lock screen to see Vikk had texted me.

'Is now a good time?'

Glancing up to see Mitch already gone, leaving a cloud of dust when his shoes hit the ground I stared for another few seconds before looking down and answering Vikk's text.

'Yeah I guess you could say a spot just opened up. My guest just ran away, don't think he liked my face XD'

' Awwww XD Tell me about it at Starbucks?'

'Definitely XD'

Turning off the power button of my portable electronic device I let my hand direct itself to my pocket before letting my fingers release my phone, dropping it into my pocket.

Taking a nice look around I walked over to the closet, wiping my feet along the carpet I felt the ticks of wool sweep against the soles of my feet.

Forcing myself not to squirm from the irritation, I lifted my feet placing them on the cold stone tiled floor. Wrapping my hand around the closet door I pulled towards my chest, watching as the closet door folded in half, swinging to the side.

(Real talk here am I the only one who has those types of closets? 0.0....Maybe it's just a Canadian thing? Mmkay, great job me, trying to start a convo about closets XD)

Grabbing the hanger that had my jacket dangling from it I unzipped my jacket. Tossing the jacket onto my forearm I placed the hanger back where it was before grabbing the closet door and popping it back into place.

"Haven't gone out in a while.....Wait....No never mind I went outside this morning. Heh." Muttering a few more words to myself I swung my jacket over myself, lacing my arms into the sleeves I decided it was too much of a task to zip it up.

Much like most stupid people who try acting cool I was just too lazy to do it. Shifting my position I peeked over my shoulder to make sure Kenny and Choco weren't watching. A grin tugging at my lips, I popped my collar before yelling over my shoulder.

"I'M GOING OUT!!"

Listening to the silence of no response, I huffed out a small laugh which died a few seconds after it was born. Shoving my hands into the pockets of my jackets I flipped my hair without using my hands.

Staying where I was to make sure Kenny and Choco weren't screaming at me to stay, I took one step before walking out the already open door that Mitch burst through not long ago.

Facing forwards, I lifted a leg, kicking the door closed. Making sure my wallet was still inside my jacket I slipped the keys out of my jacket as well and hopped into my car.

Popping the keys into the ignition I twisted the keys to the right. Smiling to myself as the car rurred to life and the lights on all the buttons turned on.

~Time Skip To When Preston And Vikk Are At Starbucks Cause Nobody Likes Car Rides ;3 ~

"So, who exactly was the house guest?"

I took a bite of the chocolatine I was eating before setting it down on the plate and answering Vikk's questions.

"Half of Merome."

"Oooooh! Which half?"

Vikk seeming weirdly interested in the topic I took another bite of the chocolatine, setting it down once again I dropped it.

"The Canadian Doodle."

"Nice, Nice....Hey Preston?"

"Yeah?

"...Can....Can I ask you something?"

Pausing, I turned my attention to see Vikk fidgeting with his hands, seemingly nervous about what he was going to ask.

"Sure, ask me anything."

"Umm....Would you, maybe.....Ever date anyone of the Pack besides me?"

.......... Vikk what the fuck does that mean? Laughing a bit nervously it quickly died as I saw Vikk's facial expression, it was an offended one.

"...........I'm sorry, what?"

"Would you date anyone else besides me in the Pack? I want you to be honest here."

He's onto me...... Shit. Shifting uncomfortably in my seat I felt a bead of sweat trickle down my forehead. Using the back of my hand, I quickly wiped the tear of sweat away.

".....If I did answer your question, and I said yes. What would you do?"

"Then I'd tell you my answer to that question.

Staring Vikk in the eye I felt a sudden chill rush over me to see a sad emotion laying in Vikk's facial features, but I knew it was serious seeing as Vikk was doing that frown of his.

"...Fair enough.....No judging?"

"No judging, I promise."

Trying to tug at a smile, I felt blood rush to my cheeks. Not knowing what to do, I struggled with hiding the blush.

Finding the task impossible, I flashed my head down as Rob's face flickered in my mind.

"If....If I wasn't dating you, and if I didn't love you...I'd probably...Erm....Maybe, highly possibly date...Rob."

Coughing, I wiggled around a bit in my seat and looked down at my knees, feeling as if my face was about to melt away from the heat.

"Oh...." Vikk spoke up. Seeming speechless, I felt guilt smack me in the face before looking up at Vikk panicked.

"B-But I-I do love you!...It's just....If there was anyone else I could....It...It would be him."

Vikk stared for a good minute or so, until suddenly he smiled. Feeling my eyes widen I watched as Vikk outstretched his hand and placed it on mine.

"Why?"

Feeling my body go rigid I glanced upwards, straightening my back as I looked Vikk in the eye, but to be honest all I really wanted right now was to slouch.

"W-Why?" I stuttered. My face practically dying at this point I raised my shaking hands onto my face to try and stop my face from Basically melting off.

Vikk seeming to giggle at my struggle to hide the blush, I tugged at a weak smile before looking back down at my thighs.

"Umm.....He....Gah this is embarrassing.....He.....He was always there....When I needed him...

Thick and thin, low and high,......Night or day...He.....He just has these warm, brown eyes that just make anyone want to scream in happiness.

And the smile he gives you? You would kill to see another one. He would never judge you, he would....

He does......not care whatsoever what you do, as long as you apologize and mean the apology....He'll always forgive you."

Cringing, I looked up to see Vikk staring at me. Amusement playing wryly on his face, but it wasn't a taunting amusement, more of a curious spark twinkling in the left corners of his eyes.

"Uh Huh......."

"...You think it's bad?"

"No."

"Oh....."

Silence swirled around us as I stared at my cold chocolatine, they just aren't that good cold but.... I don't want it to go to waste.

Raising the chocolatine to my lips I cringed as I took a bite, chewing, I looked Vikk in the eye to see him clear his throat.

"...........Lachlan."

"What?"

*Preston's expression changes as he looks at Vikk in surprise*

"If I had to date anyone else, it'd be Lachlan."

".....Okay....Why?"

Chills caressing my spine I felt cold brush against my cheeks, no more of a burning feeling bubbling in my face.

"I have a fedish for tall Australians."

"For real?"

Cocking an eyebrow at Vikk I cringed as he slammed his hands down on the little table, causing attention from two or three people to occur

"NO!!"

Jumping back a small bit I stared Vikk down as he giggled, rolling around in his seat I let out a snort before he caught a hold of himself

"I guess, I guess his personality? I am not entirely sure how to put it into words....You know when you see someone or hear someone's

name and everything reminds you of them? No matter what you do you just....Can't breathe....Like you're trapped."

"Yeah?........"

My mind going back to Rob as soon as Vikk said that I rolled my eyes before paying attention to Vikk once again.

"Well, that's how I feel about Lachlan."

"....Vikk?"

"Yeah Preston?"

Staring Vikk in the eye I felt a small smile push at my lips but I denied. Clearing my throat, I spoke softly.

"....I think we've been dating the wrong people...."

"....I think we have been dating the wrong people too."

"Hey, you're still my best friend Vikk, I mean, what other friends have I made out with?"

"Umm......."

"Don't answer that."

A small blush grazing the sides of Vikk's face I smiled before standing up from the seat and taking Vikk's hand.

"...Yeah, we're close."

"I should probably get home Vikk, Kenny and Choco might think I died."

"Yeah, that's true isn't it?"

"Yup!....See me soon alright?"

Feeling my voice choke up, I helped Vikk out of the seat and stared him in the eye.

"Yeah! Of course buddy!"

"Okay, thanks Vikk."

Tears staring to sting the back of my eyes, I tugged at Vikk's hand pulling him towards me.

Opening my arms I instantly locked them around Vikk as I nuzzled my head into his neck. Vikk slowly bringing his arms around me I smiled at this before wiping away my teary eyes and letting go.

"I'll always be here for you Preston, remember that."

"Trust me, I will."
