(A/N): I really like the stepbrothers AU but I decided to be a spicy child and change it up a bit so that instead of Mr Heere and Heidi meeting and marrying it's not Mrs Heere and Mark meeting up and inviting their families to Thanksgiving dinner one year

Jeremy leaned against the car door, rapidly typing on his phone.

Player 2: I cannot believe my mom wants to meet up for thanksgiving after who cares how long

Player 1: Yeah that sucks dick

Player 1: I was looking forward to kicking your ass in AoTD

Player 2: Michael that's a co-op game :(

Player 1: We both know I'm better at it though

Player 2: You're such a bully

Player 2: I bet my mom doesn't even know what an Xbox is

Player 1: Let alone a PlayStation, the obviously superior console

Player 2: Piss off you touched a PlayStation once in your life

Player 1: And I'm the bully

Player 1: Just think about it this way, at least her new husband or whatever also had a kid around your age

Player 2: But how do I know I won't mess up when I talk to him

Player 1: You don't I guess

Player 1: But you can always text me if you end up locked in your room because you messed up the words homo and hello

Player 2: ...

Player 2: that was one time

Player 1: One time is all it takes buddy

Player 2: We're pulling up now, bye Michael

Player 1: Don't forget to say homo to your mom for me

Player 1: *hello

Player 2: Fuck you

Player 1: Love you too :)

Jeremy looked up at the fairly large house his dad had pulled up at. It seemed nearly worth all the time they'd spent driving to Colorado from fucking New Jersey, he thought.

"We're Heere!" His dad said cheerily.

Jeremy rolled his eyes. "Yes dad, we are Heere."

They climbed the front steps together, ringing the doorbell.

The door swung open quickly, revealing a woman, although it wasn't Jeremy's mother. She smiled, ushering them inside. "Hello, I'm Heidi Hansen. You must be Mr Heere and Jeremy?"

"That's us," Mr Heere confirmed. "It's nice to meet you."

Heidi smiled warmly at the pair, "the pleasures all mine," she then turned to yell up the stairs, "Evan!"

Jeremy heard a door open, and footsteps walking through a hallway he couldn't see. Then at the top of the stairs was a young man, only seeming a few years older than him. It must be his mothers step-son, apparently named Evan.

He quickly walked down the stairs, giving Jeremy a short handshake. "Hey."

"Hey," Jeremy said back, "nice to meet you."

"You two will be sharing a room," Heidi said, "if that's alright."

They exchanged nervous glances. Jeremy spoke up first. "That's fine."

Evan nodded in agreement. "Can I um— help you take your bags up?"

"Oh, you don't have too," Jeremy said quickly. "I can get it."

"No no I insist," Evan said. "Let me at least grab one."

Jeremy shrugged, grabbing one of his bags while Evan took the other upstairs. He entered the room they shared, taking the second bed that hadn't been taken.

He sat down on the bed, leaning against the wall, Evan doing the same. They sat in awkward silence, Jeremy pulling out his phone to text his best friend.

Player 2: I'm sharing a room

Player 1: So??

Player 2: I dunno what if I like

Player 2: want to jerk off?

Player 1: I don't know why you're asking me this

Player 1: But isn't that why bathrooms exist

Player 2: But I don't want to wake up this rando kid I'm sharing the room with

Player 1: Then get to know him you twat

Player 1: What's his name? At least tell me you know that

Player 2: Evan Hansen

Player 1: That's a start

Player 1: Now get off your phone and talk to him

Player 2: Ok fine

Player 2: Later Michael

Player 1: Say homo to him too for me

Player 1: *hello

Player 2: stfu you're gay

Player 1: Your point?

Player 2: Bye.

(A/N): ok let me know if you want more 👌
