At this point Shiloh was being extremely affectionate with Dakota, which for her was a rare thing, but really she didn’t care. If she could be honest to herself all they would do was lay there in that same position with him arms around her and her face resting in the crook of his neck. Dakota smelled the same as always, it was like a mixture between candy and ocean mist body wash. Normally Shiloh would have found the combination odd, but this was Dakota..her Kota bear. She would hug him regardless, well unless he smelled like rotten, she did have a line she wouldn’t cross.

Dakoottaaaa!” Shiloh’s soft voice turned into an unfamiliar screech. Her happy features turned into a frown and she stuck out her lower lip pouting at Dakota. “Kotaaaa,” she whined playfully with the pout still on her face, “That hurt you little booger!” A smiled then played on her cherry-colored lips as she grabbed onto Dakota’s arms and playfully sunk her teeth into it. “That’s what you get for being mean,” she said after biting him.

Shiloh poked his side and then rolled away, pulling out from under his grip. “Also don’t think that I didn’t notice that your pants were only on halfway… But..Since I’m so sweet, I won’t hurt you.” Standing up, the redhead wiped her skinny jeans and smoothed out her long locks, tucking them behind one of her ears. “Look, I brought you cheetos,” she said with a sweet smile as she held out her hand to help him up and then nodded at the bag of cheetos.

Dakota smirked as Shiloh screeched, his mission accomplished of trying to playfully annoy her. He chuckled at her sad expression, knowing that she didn’t mean it. They do this every time they see each other; the good-natured violence came with being best friends their whole lives. As much as Dakota loves Shi, he likes to take every opportunity to mess with her because it keeps their friendship fun and exciting. He faked a grimace as she bit his arm, humoring her since it didn’t hurt him one bit. (He’s twice her size and she’s so tiny, and he thinks it’s really cute how she tries.)

Dakota was suddenly left cold and empty as she rolled out from under him, but he hid his frown and just smiled at her. He looks down at his legs and remembers that his pants were all the way down at his knees. Blushing, he scoots his butt and attempts to slide them all the way up. He buckles his belt and zips his pants, wiping his sweaty palms on the front of his jeans. He loved watching her fix her hair, a simple task, but she looks so concentrated; she looks beautiful, like always. Kota could watch Shiloh all day if he could. Luckily he has her tonight.

He snaps out of his thoughts, grinning at the bag of cheetos, his favorite chips. “Is that my victory prize for when I kick your butt in the new Mario Kart game I bought yesterday?” He grabs the bag of cheetos from her hands and pulls her up by the other, dragging her towards the living to sit on the couch. He stands in place as he sees the messy room, forgetting how disheveled he left it when he went to go look for some pants. “Erm, don’t mind whatever this is and stuff,” he stammered apologetically, “It was clean, but then you called—and then I…”

To say that the red-head girl was happy to go see her best friend was a  big understatement, Shiloh was incredibly beyond ecstatic to be on her way to Dakota’s apartment. She seriously felt like she hadn’t seen him in months, and she didn’t like that feeling. Shiloh loved spending time with Dakota, sometimes even more than she led on. To be honest, that boy made her the happiest girl in the world. He always made her laugh and smile, she was never sad when she was around him. Shiloh felt like Dakota would always be the bright light in her life, even in the darkest moments. 

Ever since the two of them had left Camp Point, things had gotten a lot easier and better in their friendship. They no longer had crazy people to meddle in between them, or to make things complicated. Now it was just the two of them  where they belonged, they were back in New York where they had grown up together. Now Shiloh felt like if she opened herself up, the two of them could have a chance. She knew that the only thing standing between the two of them being together was herself. She was going to have to learn to trust Dakota and to let him in.

As she made her way to Dakota’s apartment Shiloh smiled and pulled out her phone to send him a text. I’m on my way up. Kota, if you’re in your underwear..I’ll kick you. And I won’t give you your surprise. With the bag of Cheeto puffs in her arms, that she’d brought for Dakota, Shiloh made her way up the stairs. Giving only a warning knock before walking in Shiloh called out, “I’m coming in..I warned you.” Shiloh ran into the familiar apartment and jumped into her best friend’s arms.

Dakota stuffed the last bite of his Snicker’s bar into his mouth and started surfing the television, looking for something interesting to watch. He heard a faint buzzing and a vibration underneath him. Dakota stuck his hands in between his couch cushions to search for his cell phone. Not being able to find it, he jumped off of the sofa and started pulling the cushions one by one. Finally, his cell phone was found and he clicked the home button and Shiloh’s name flashed on the screen in a text. He read the text slowly, a smile on his lips and his eyes going wide realizing as he looked down he still didn’t have any pants on. He frantically ran through the hallway and into his bedroom, rummaging through his dresser for a clean pair of jeans.

He’s not going to lie, he and Shi hang out almost all the time, but it feels like it’s been forever since he last saw her. Like, yesterday morning when they were in class. He always enjoys her company and when she’s around, she always makes everything better and she makes him smile a lot more wider. He would do anything for her; as long as she was happy. 

He could hear her voice from outside his apartment door and runs out into the living room. Dakota freezes in place with his pants unbuttoned and halfway down his legs just in time as she opens the door. Taking him by surprise, she jumps on top of him and tackles him to the ground. He groans and chuckles, wrapping his arms around her slim waist and burying his face into her fiery red hair. “Good to see you too,” he smirks, breaking the embrace and giving her a noogie.
