One night when Chris and Nick were little they decided to spend some time together without Matt. Matt was invited to a sleepover that Chris and Nick weren’t invited to, and to make them selves feel better they would have their own sleepover with just them.
They both were sat at their kitchen table, crayons laid out in random places, blank pieces of paper, just in case they needed to start over. Nick was drawing a flower, making it a present for their mom. Chris was drawing a monkey, both drawings not being very good but both made with love.
“Done!!” Chris said and handing the drawing to Nick, “do you like it?” He asked. Nick inspected the drawing and quickly nodded his head “I love it!” He said making Chris jump up with joy. “You can keep it!” Chris said smiling at Nick, “Thank you so much Chris!!” He said and got out of his seat and wrapped his arms around Chris’s torso bringing him in a big hug.

Chris and Nick were now 20 years old, and Matt had left to go hang out with some of their friends. Chris and Nick had felt left out but really wanted to cheer each other up. Nick walked up to Chris’s door and knocked on it before walking in. Chris was laying on his bed scrolling on his phone, “do you want to watch a movie in my room?” Nick asked, to this Chris jumped out of his bed and nodded yes.
“Ok awesome! Meet me in my room i will grab us snacks.” Nick said and walked out of Chris’s room making his way to the kitchen.
Chris walked in to nicks room walking around waiting for Nick to come back. He stopped pacing around the room when he came across a particular piece of paper taped to nicks wall by the door. He walks over to the drawing and starts to inspect it, it was a drawing of a monkey.
It wasn’t a very good drawing but he thought it was cute, he looked at the paper some more and realized it was signed by him. ‘Chris!’ It said with sloppy hand writing. He didn’t know Nick had kept this drawing for all these years. He smiled from ear to ear , he loved Nick.
“I’m back with the snacks!” Nick said as he walked in the room settings the snacks on the bed. “I also got you a Pepsi.” He said while holding the Pepsi out. Chris stood there for a moment and just looked at him, he was so happy to have someone like Nick. He ran into Nick hugging him tightly, taking Nick by surprise but slowing hugged back.
“I love you.” Chris whispered, his arms tightening around nicks waist. “I love you too.” Nick replied smiling in Chris’s warm embrace.
