"Right?! I'd be watching my back every second if I was his assistant!" Ethan laughed back, completely unaware of the fact that his brother and Nikolai already shared a past. "Speaking of which, did you hear he's going out with Mr. Court? You have no idea how much that freaked me out when I heard! Mr. Court's, like, the shyest guy I know and he's dating the town bike. The stuff happening at school sure is crazy." he said with a shake of his head then bit into another roll.

"That's all you heard? Ethan, I heard that Mr. Court and the principal already went to a jeweler to pick out a ring for Mr. Byko!" he said, pulling out his phone. He scrolled through his messages, then pulled up a texted picture of Headmistress Mayazaki and Mr. Court ducking into a jeweler's. "He must be really stupid in love."

Awesome nerd

I don't even know who to bring in!

Ethan peered at the photo and whistled. "Damn, I live under a rock. Then again, we all can't be super popular Korean idols." he teased and stuck his tongue at Lock. "So you've been in Korea the past few weeks, right? Daniel told me. Then again, the little punk probably lied about that, too." he grumbled the last part under his breath.

"Nope, he wasn't lying. I haven't left for anything," said Lock, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. "This is the first time I've come back to America since we broke up. It was awful, admittedly."

"How?" Ethan snorted. "You're like a god there. You could've gotten anything and anyone you wanted. It couldn't be that bad, could it?"

"I couldn't be bothered to leave my house," he said, picking up his water and sighing. "I didn't want anyone else. I wanted just you. Only having you back would've made me happy again."

Hearing Lock's comment, Ethan blushed and bashfully looked away while sipping his drink. "Don't say stupid things. C'mon." he mumbled.

"What? Are you embarrassed?" he asked, grinning and sticking out his tongue.

The Texan quickly turned and gave Lock an offended look. "N-No!" he spouted and tossed his half-eaten roll at him. "A-Anyway, did you even go to any tours or things? You had to at least have worked, right?" he asked, quickly changing the subject.

"No, I usually elected not to go," he said, pulling absently at his shirt. "I just... I chose not to. Ellery got a shape-shifter to stand in for me so I could stay home."

"Wait, that was a fake?!" Ethan blinked then slumped in his seat and glared sideways. "That explains why you acted weird in those livestreams." he murmured to himself while thinking back to the concerts he watched online.

"Well, I did the ones in Korea, so it wasn't always not me," he assured. "But otherwise, Devon did the other ones. Sorry if you're disappointed." Suddenly, he sat upright. "Wait, you watched my concerts?"

Ethan's eyes widened as he realized Lock had heard him. Clear blue eyes slowly turned to look at the star, then everything sped up. "Ack! N-No! W-Why would I even listen to your concerts, huh? It's not like I could understand them! I-It's also not like I missed you or anything!" he spouted with his blush deepening with each sentence. He said it all while rubbing the back of his head and looking away sheepishly, trying to avoid a teasing grin he knew was coming.

Lock tilted his head, holding back his familiar teasing grin that he knew Ethan knew would appear soon. "So, you didn't miss me? At all?" he asked, feigning hurt feelings in his tone. Inside Locks mind, many new ways to torture Ethan were being developed, the most popular being guilting him into a girl's outfit again.
Ooh, maybe he could get him to wear a maid outfit this time!

Easily falling into Lock's traps as always, Ethan stumbled over his words to try and find the right ones to hide behind. "Ahh! N-No! What I mean is- I mean-! Okay, s-so maybe I saw a concert or two. S-So what, huh? That wasn't even you performing, so it doesn't matter!" he spouted.
