The day shopping was great for all of them. They had found some cool new stuff. George got some new shoes and a white Star Wars shirt, Blake found a jacket and Reece bought two new jeans.

Another positive thing was the fact, that Blake got distracted from his previous thoughts and the conversation with Reece.

After they had finished shopping, they headed back in the direction of George's house. But (of course) the blond boy needed something to eat, before he was able to return home. Reece and Blake had to admit that they were quite hungry too. A day shopping can be very exhausting. Especially with three boys who joke around all the time and try everything on which could possibly look good.

They decided to buy sandwiches and ate them while walking side by side and talking about what song they want to cover next. The decision was unanimously: "There's Nothing Holding Me Back" by Shawn Mendes.

"Lads, that was a good day. I'm happy we are finally reunited." Reece said, after they all had finished eating.

"Yeah, that's true. I felt so bored sometimes. I really missed you two." George responded and pulled his friends in a group hug.

There was this feeling again. A warm wave going through Blake's body. It was good to be in George's (and Reece's) arms.

"I missed you too." Blake said.

As fast as the warmth came, it was gone again as they broke apart.

They reached George's house, the blond boy unlocked the door and they walked into George's room.

"By the way, who is going to sleep on the couch?" George asked. He only had a double bed and a couch. Of course there were other rooms, but they usually slept together in one room.

"I guess I will. George will never give up his bed and Blake always looses in scissors stone paper against me so I always have the bed. It's just fair." Reece told them, looking to Blake who gave him a deathly look. There was no way Blake could survive this -- sleeping next to George.

George wondered. Usually Reece never gave up a place in the bed. At least not without fighting. But he didn't really mind. If Reece wanted it this way, it was his decision.

"Erm, it would be no problem, if I would sleep on the couch. I'm kinda used to it." Blake said.

George felt a bit hurt, not really knowing why.

"Blake, it's okay. Honestly." Reece answered.

"But you don't ha..."

"I insist, Blake. You always sleep on the couch. It's my turn."

"Anyway, lads. I'm sure you will find a solution ... In the meantime I go brush my teeth." George said. He still wondered why suddenly everyone wanted to sleep on the couch.

As George had left the room, Blake came over to Reece.

"Come on, Reece, you can't do this to me." he whispered.

"I can't do what?" Reece answered, smiling. He knew exactly what Blake meant.

"Force me to sleep in one bed with George." Blake said, rolling his eyes.

"But there is no problem in sleeping next to George, right?" the blond boy asked, playing dumb.

"You know exactly what I mean..."

Reece laid down on the couch.

"Whops, I must have forgotten that little detail" (he was obviously joking) "but there is no chance that I stand up now. I guess you have no other choice -- as long as you don't want to sleep on the ground and explain that to George."

"... I hate you, you know that?"

"I know you're lying. Deep inside you want to sleep next to George and you love me for insisting to sleep on the couch instead of you." Reece smirked.

Blake grabbed a pillow and threw it in Reece's face. "Reece! Please just stop smirking." Blake said. As a reply, he was also hit by a pillow.

George walked back in, wearing no shirt, because he was ready to go to bed. Blake and Reece were still fighting with pillows.

"Did you start a pillow fight without meee?" George screamed, grabbing a pillow and jumping into the fight.

Blake blushed as he saw George entering the room shirtless. Of course he had seen him shirtless many times before, but he had never noticed how good he looked. Luckily, no one noticed his blushing (or blamed it on the heat of the fight). He was so deep in thoughts, that he didn't even notice George screaming something and grabbing a pillow which hit Blake's face one moment later. That threw his mind back to reality. The reality of fighting with pillows against a shirtless George who he sadly was loving and a slightly hyperactive Reece.

This chapter is a bit longer than I expected it to be and I am not really happy with it. I wanted to also include the next chapter (which I will post in one or two days), but I thought it would be better to split them. So the next chapter will probably be shorter, but I also could write it more detailed. We'll see! :D

As usually, I want to thank CN5SOS who corrected this chapter. I am really glad she spends time to correct my English and that I can ask her for her opinion!

But I also have to thank all of you! This story has already more than 300 reads and I can't tell how happy I am -- especially about the nice comments. :)

Please continue commenting feedback and wishes for the story!

Have a great day!

BTW: Did you notice the double meaning when Blake says "I missed you too."? I mean he could mean only George or Reece and George. Or it sounds like "you two". You'll probably never find out what meaning I had in my mind when I wrote this. :D
