He was going to do it.
Kel was going to spend time with his best friend again whether he likes it or not. Sunny’s mom had asked them if he could check in on him to make sure he would get up in time to leave, well Kel was about to do one better. Readying a foot he gave Sunny’s front door a hard kick, the door ripping off the hinges and slamming into the floor with a loud ‘bang!’ It was pretty satisfying.
“Shhh Kel! It’s the middle of the night, you’re going to wake up the whole neighborhood! Wasn’t there an easier way to break into Sunny’s house?” Oh yeah he almost forgot Hero was with him too. The brothers were on a mission to see their friend again for the first time in four years under the guise of completing their friend's mom’s request, originally it was only going to be just him but Hero caught him sneaking out and insisted on coming along when he found out about his plan. He has the best big bro anyone could ask for.
“Unless you know how to pick locks bro then no, plus this was pretty fun!” Kel rebutted and flexed an arm despite not actually using his arms to open the door but oh well who cares. Hero shuffled nervously at the mention of picklocking, “Haha yeah… I definitely don’t know anything about picking locks haha.”
Ah classic Hero. Never change bro.
With a clap of his hands and a smile, Kel marched into the mostly empty house with a pep to his step and up the stairs towards Sunny’s room with Hero following closely behind.
He slammed the door open and sucked in air to let out a very loud cheerful greeting but his words died when he noticed the one eyed shadow thing hovering over Sunny. Hm not very nice of it.
“Hey, can you like leave?” Kel made a shooing motion with his hand, “We know Sunny’s a really cool guy but we would like a turn with him.”

Hero and Kel stared at it in silence.
“Cool! didn’t ask though! You’re being really rude y’know?” Kel huffed and elbowed Hero to get him to say something.
“O-Oh yeah, like Kel said you’re being really rude! So please leave right now and maybe never come back?” Hero said with a charming smile.
The thing stared at them for a moment before slowly vanishing and Kel swears he saw it blush a little before it did. Ew gross.
Well at least that was taken care of! Walking up to Sunny’s side, Kel studied his friend. Hm yikes, he was way too small. Did the guy grow at all since he was twelve?
“Sunny is way too thin! I’ll make him a nice breakfast in the morning,” Hero stated fiercely and wow there’s his bro reading his mind, he was thinking the exact same thing!
“Well I don’t think he’s waking up any time soon, let’s make a blanket fort!” Kel told his brother who readily agreed, nice.
Sunny woke up to the smell of breakfast and not the desire to immediately go back to sleep for once. Huh.
Rolling off his bed he flopped to the floor in a boneless heap and started rolling towards the door. He didn’t feel like getting up.
His journey was cut short when he bumped into a pair of legs, looking up he saw Hero looking down at him with a smile. Huh Hero? He’s even taller than how he remembers him.
“Good morning Sunny! I made you breakfast!” Hero chirped happily while reaching down and slinging him over his shoulder easily. Wow…
Sunny accepted his fate of acting like a glorified scarf and let Hero carry him towards the kitchen and past the movers who were taking out the last of the boxes. They didn’t pay the odd pair any mind.
“Heya Sunny! Didya miss me?” Kel called out to him from his spot on the counter where he was scarfing down bacon. Wow he was taller than him now.
Sunny said nothing as Hero set him down in the seat next to his brother and pushed a plate towards him.
“Bone apple teeth!”
Sunny stared.
Hero laughed nervously and turned back to the stove.
Sunny nibbled on some bacon until he heard his mom honking for him outside. Well time to go.
Without a word he headed outside, the brothers following him.
Walking towards his moms car, she had driven onto the lawn again, he got into the back seat and clicked his seatbelt into place. Goodbye faraway town.
He startled when the door opened again when the car had started backing out and Kel slid into the unoccupied seat smoothly, also clicking a seatbelt in place. Glancing out the window he caught sight of Hero waving at them with a tissue, tears streaming down his face but a proud smile on it. What.
Tapping on his mom's shoulder frantically he pointed at Kel and she looked at him through the mirror while driving.
“Oh Kel! Are you joining us?” She asked casually like she didn’t just unintentionally kidnap his old friend.
“Yep Ms. Amano! Sunny’s got a new roommate,” He cheered while throwing an arm around his shoulders, pulling him into a hug.
An ambulance whizzed by them but no one paid attention to it.
“That’s nice! Doesn’t that sound fun Sunny?” She laughed as she focused back on the road and turned on the radio.
What.
“Now here’s Axel F by crazy frog!”
“Oh I love this song! Crank it up Ms. A!” Kel cried out happily as his mom complied. Kel then proceeded to make some very incomprehensible noises. How was he doing that with his mouth? Should he be concerned?
His mom started singing along too, also making incomprehensible noises.
What.
Sunny thinks maybe he should just stop questioning things and go with the flow like he usually does.
He hummed along with his mom’s and Kel’s ‘singing’ for the rest of the trip.
Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad.
