best of friends [Miles]

[Deleted]

Alaric kicked the door of the cabin open and waited for a few seconds before he threw his goggles outside to make sure that it was safe. When nothing happened for another couple of seconds, he dared to set foot out, slammed the door shut and ran till he reached the middle of the space between the cabins. His siblings were used to him being a weirdo, even though he wasn't really a weirdo. He was still a new camper and he'd already met a few others who were far worse then he would ever be. Besides, he blamed the Hermes cabin for his paranoia and one child of Hermes in particular, the one he couldn't get out of his head.

The boy needed support in this matter. Like, he was so overwhelmed and didn't really know what to do, so he would have to talk to someone. The person for that was residing in the cabin of Demeter, the goddess of plantyness and even though he'd only been around Camp for like a week, he'd already been there so often that some of the Demeter kids just rolled their eyes when they saw him approaching the cabin. Pushing his goggles up to his hairline as always, Alaric did just that and knocked but didn't bother to wait, he just ripped open the door and went inside. "Miles, we have to talk!!!"

Miles jumped about 5 feet when the door slammed open. Geez, good thing Accalia or Harper weren't here. Needless to say they didnt like the loud noises that happened when his best friend came over, which was nearly always. Tension was strung high in the cabin anyways with Harpers return so the added stress of two chaotic boys was not what either of them could stand right now.

"Dude you scared the crude out of me." he said, turning around in his chair that he had been sitting at. Across the table in front of him was a mix of herbs and wires. The standard  St. Clair layout. The look on his face said it all. He knew his best friends 'IM DYING HELP' look  better than he knew his own. "Geez what blew up this time?" he half heatedly joked with his friend. "What is going on bro?"

Of course Alaric had totally forgotten about Miles sisters who honestly seemed a little uptight like all the time. Maybe he couldn't judge that just now because he was still kind of new... But it seemed like they missed the great opportunity they had with being able to grow plants just the way they wanted them to grow. Considering that, the Demeter cabin could just as well be filled with cheerful stoners, but no didn't seem like that. At least his best friend was there and of course he knew exactly that something was wrong with him. He walked over to Miles' bed and just dropped down there.

"Shouldn't you be kinda used to jump scares?", he asked and extended his tongue for a second before he completly let himself collapse on the bed so he was looking at the ceiling above him. Oh yes, what was going on, he really wanted to know that as well. "Okay, bro, story time. No interupting, I'm talking" He took a deep breath and tried to get his thoughts together before he started talking. "So, like a few days back there was one of those Hermes kids climbing about on the roof of my cabin and he threw a bucket of water balloons at me and because of that I told him that I'd prank him back. And I did, kinda. I tried and failed, honestly. So I ended up underneath his bed, because I broke into the Hermes cabin and yes. We talked when he found me and it was weird. Like really, really weird", he explained the situation and knew that Miles would understand him at least mostly because he knew him better than he knew himself just like it was the other way round.

"Look don't you be talking smack about me and my jumpiness." Miles threaten, pointing a finger at him. As story time commenced, Miles sat backwards in his desk chair resting his chin on the back of the chair. Hermes Cabin. Prank. Well Prank gone wrong. "Hold up a second dude. You. Alaric broke into the HERMES CABIN." he said his voice progressively getting louder. "And yet you live! I figured they would have strung you up and hung you upside down in the middle of the forest somewhere." he said and then raised a eyebrow

"Weird." he repeated before widening his eyes. "Dude like how weird are we talking. Who was it? What happened? Dude I need details and I need it now." There were quite a lot of beautiful people in that cabin but they always scared Miles to be honest. Something MUST have happened. There was no way his friend would be alive if it hadn't.

Alaric rolled his eyes, when Miles questioned him though he knew that he'd do the exact same thing if his friend was telling him that he'd broken into the Hermes cabin. It was ridicioulous. Even he knew that and he hadn't been at Camp for long now. When his friend asked about the level of weirdness, the boy swalloed and sat back up, ruffling his hair. How did he explain what happened, without making it sound weirder than it had been? If that was een possible.. "Weird. Yeah", he sighed to himself before he looked back up at Miles and tilted his head lightly.

"It was... one of the Hermes kids, obviously because apparently nobody is reckless enough to break into the Hermes cabin. I heard them approach and hid under a bed and when he found me... So, it was that same kid I told you about", he stuttered and felt his cheeks blush. "Kevin, it was Kevin and we... He was shirtless and then he was so close and we kissed. And then I took off my shirt... And left. Like, just ran out and I don't even know what I said as an apology because I was so..." He trailed off his and lost his train of thought. "You know what I mean... dude, I need a smoke." The boy jumped to his feet and started pacing up and down in front of his friend because only the thought of what had happened made him freak out again.

Weird. Miles just sighed and shooked his head. As his friend told his story Miles faced palmed his head with his desk chair. Only his best friend. Only Alaric. Miles recognized his friends mannerisms. Fluffing his hair, something was bugging his mind. He had seen it time and time again. Machines, people, miles, sometimes Miles, mostly miles. The pacing was new though, wow this guy really has Alaric all sorts of twisted.

Miles shook his head, raiding in a drawer before producing a small bag of his own concoction. He simply tossed the baggie at him as he spoke. "So what your saying is. You survived being caught in the Hermes cabin, confronted by this Kevin guy and then proceeded to kiss him, loose your shirt and run away like a dog with your tail between your legs." He summed up before going limp in his chair "ALL WHILE YOUR BEST FRIEND IS SUFFERING. But really bro how do you get this in life. Where did i go wrong? I deal with plants all day while you are out living a life of grander." he failed dramatically to prove his point.

"No, no, no, I didn't lose my shirt I got it back, s- Oh, that wasn't what you meant. Okay", Alaric tried to explain himself but then ended in the middle of the sentence, just to nod quietly before catching the bag. He eyed it but decided that he would just trust Miles as he always did. The boy pulled out a paper and didn't even look what he was doing as he build the spliff, as it was one of those things he could do in his sleep. Maybe this didn't exactly speak for him, but at least he could do something without messing up.

He hesistated to light it though and looked at Miles in mild confusion. "I'm... sorry?", he asked slightly confused because for a moment he thought that his friend was being actually serious. "Maybe it's because I'm the son of Hephaestus, I'm just hotter than you are, sorry bro", he added with a smirk after thinking about it twice, before he pulled a lighter from hs pocket. He looked around in the cabin and then light the thing after a moment of hesistation to make sure that he didn't see any of Miles siblings. "But dude, what do I do know? Because that guy is freaking scary."

[Deleted]

facepalm. Okay, Miles' best friend was a dork. A serious dork, and that was coming from the herbalist of all people. As Alraic lit his stiff, he built and stiff his own as well. Being a Demeter kid had its perks at least. Certain herbs that only he could grow, unsuspected, undetected, completely organic. All his favorites. He lit it and joined his friend. "You are helpless my friend." he said with the shake of his head and the blow of some smoke.

"And you my friend are as hot as a gorgon." he joked taking a hit before getting serious again "I don't know dude. I've never made out with a hot yet terrifying person. You are beating me on that end" Miles shook his head at the thought of his friend shacking up with some dude he was scared of. Whatever floated his weird friends self. "I don't know dude whatever you want to have happen. If he terrifies you, punch him in the face. If you wanna see him naked, go for it, leave me out of that image mentally, but go for it. If you think he'd kill you, well make sure I get the good stuff in your will."
