jmg1217 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Michael looked around. He was waiting at the airport for his childhood best friend to appear. They had not seen each other in years but recently his friends parents had been kills, his friend was left without a home or a place to go so Michael had taken him in. He looked at his watch wandering when the plane would land and if he would even recognize his buddy. Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Jim had arrived at the airport about 20 minutes before Michael arrived. He was at the airport bar getting a little buzzed. After the incident with his parents he had slowly gone into a deep depression. He stopped showing up to work, paying his bills, and eventually drank himself to sleep each night. If it wasn't for Michael asking to meet up he would be passed out on his couch at home still. Jim took a breath and made his way to luggage claim as he saw Michael and waved to him. Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Michael waited then he saw Jim. He stood and waved first he was struck by how little Jim was. He had hardly grown since they had been kids and Michaels family had moved. Since then they had stayed in touch through social media. Michael smiled, he couldn’t get over hove cute and Young Jim still looked. He made his way over to the smaller boy and pulled him into a tight hug “oh Jamie, I’m so so sorry” he said quickly reverting to Jim’s childhood nickname Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Jim waved back and stumbled a bit due to the few drinks he had. As he was getting closer to Michael he looked at how much taller he had gotten. "Geez am I really this short?" He thought to himself. He guessed he was just use to his parents not pointing out his height that he kind of forgot at times just how short he was. Jim stood on his tip toes as he hugged Michael back, "Thanks Mike, man I haven't heard that name in ages. How have you been?" Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Mike released the boy and ruffled his hair “it’s good to see you bud, and sorry I’ll try to remember to call you Jim but you know what they say about old habits” he grabbed the boys bag “let me take that, it looks awfully big for you” he took Jim’s bag and they were off Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 " I would appreciate that thank you. I know it was fun to call me that back in the day but I think i'm too old for that nickname." Jim said. As Michael took Jim's back he replied with, "Oh thanks Mike, it was a little heavy but I could have carried it. Also are we going back to your place? Grabbing a bite to eat? It was a pretty long flight." Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Michael just shrugged “I bet your pretty tired, what if we just had a pizza delivered or something that way you can get into pajamas and unpack and we can talk” Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 "Pajamas? Uh...ya sure, I don't really wear pajamas. Usually a shirt and shorts, but pizza sounds good. I feel like i'm starting to fall asleep already." Jim replied. Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Michael simply ruffled the boys hair, “you know what I meant buddy, you’ll have to excuse me Jamie when you work with kids all the time it tends to carry over to other parts of your life and way”they got to his car. He unlocked it and put the bag in the trunk “umm it’s a big car are you ok getting I. By yourself buddy” Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 "Oh that's right, almost forgot what you did. An no worries." Jim said as he made his way to the side of the car. "Mike, yes I can get in relax. I took a plane on my own for gods sake." Jim then tried to get into the seat with a hop, but was unsuccessful. Then he tried again but this time he had to lift and crawl himself up into the seat. He then buckled himself and said, "See..I can do it." He was a bit out of breath and had the booze sweat.

jmg1217 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Mike smiled and laughed as his buddy struggled “ya bud, that was so easy,” he shook his head “dude you smell too much alcohol buddy, we will be changing that sir” Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Jim rolled his eyes saying, "O geez, relax Mike. I had 1 or 2 drinks on the plane, that's all. It was a long flight. Besides what exactly is going to change? If you say no, some place will say yes." Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Mike looked at the boy, no need to get upset bud I just meant well I don’t drink so there’s no alcohol in my house and I babysit and Tutor a lot so you need to be conscious of setting a good example when kids might be around” the drove on Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Jim sighed as he looked out the window, "Alright fine, whatever. You won't have to worry about that, I'll make sure not to disturb you or the kids you tutor." Jim also kinda wondered why he didn;t have any alcohol, he's seen him drink casually on social media before. Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Then pulled into the driveway and Michael parked. He got out of the car and grabbed Jim’s bag. He walked to his front door calling behind him “remove your shoes at the door Jamie” Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Jim let out a big cough and spit in the grass. He bent down and took off his shoes and placed them near the door. When he walked in he was impressed saying, "Oh wow Mike this place is great." Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Mike smiled “thanks bud, I got it cheap and restored it myself, I’m pretty happy with it I must say” he put the boys bags down “ now are all of these clothes clean or do they need to be washed” he indicated the suit case next to him Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 "Of course my clothes are clean. I mean some of them are...a few pairs are. I'll do it in the morning, don't have to do it now. Just show me where the washer and dryer is and i'll take care of it in the morning." Jim replied. Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Michael shook his head “oh Jamie it’s ok little buddy, the washer is down the basement why down you grab some night clothes now and go change and I’ll throw these down stairs then you can tackle it in the morning” Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Jim opened his bag, grabbed a pair of shorts,along with a white shirt. 'This is all I will need for tonight, thanks for offering to do the laundry Mike. Where is my room?" Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Mike winked at the boy and hoisted the bag up “no problem buddy up the stairs second door right next to the bathroom” he watched the boy go up the stairs before descending into the basement Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Jim made his way to the room he was staying in and he had to admit it was probably the best bed he's seen in months. He put his backpack on the ground as he made his way to the bathroom. After using the toilet he went back into his room to change. Instead of putting on his t-shirt he only wore his shorts. Going down stairs he sat on the couch while turning on the tv. "Hey Mike, can we get some bacon on that pizza?" Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Mike smiled dire buddy, whatever you want is just fine. He smiled at the cute boy “you know, I don’t think you’ve grown an inch since we were like 8. You still look exactly the same” Link to comment
Daddydrew Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Jim replied, "Ha...ha, very funny. I'll have you know I grew an inch or two, besides look at these couple of chest hairs. We all can't be a giant like you Mike." Link to comment
jmg1217 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Mike shrugged”whatever dude I think your cute... anyway I’ll order the pizza if you want to choose a show” he pulled out his phone and ordered 2 pizzas and onion rings” Link to comment
