"You should eat You’re supposed to take your pain pills with food"

His storowled as he looked down at the food in front of him Until Cooper sat the food in front of hiry he was "Thanks,to drink?" Noah stood

"What do you want? I’ll grab it"

"I’ht direction, and I can do it" Noah didn’t like having people take care of hi too close Not anyot semi-serious with David, and look where that left him? Not that Cooper would be someone he’d end up in a relationship with, because he was pretty sure Cooper wasn’t gay, but he wasn’t up for letting anyone in again, either

"Third cabinet over for the cups; drinks in the fridge" Cooper sat down, and started to eat

Noah poured hi not to wince with each of his ht Definitely ti on what they were

With slow steps, Noah walked over and sat back at the table, drinking down half of the orange juice with one gulp "Thanks,me here, and for breakfast We don’t really know each other anymore--"

"I hit ya It’s the least I could do Your car’s outside too She’s a beauty Not running, but, she sure is pretty"

Noah laughed, and when he did, a sharp, stab of pain went through hih"

"How long are you planning on hanging around?" Cooper asked, before taking a bite of his eggs

Wasn’t that a good question? All he’d knoas that he needed a fresh start, and Blackcreek had called to hiood Like I said, just packed up and left"

Cooper nodded "And like I said yesterday, I have a rooht as well rent it out to you rather than someone else; if you’re interested" Cooper set his fork on his e his jaw, his dark blond hair, cut short His blue eyes were full of mischief, like they had been when they were kids Hell, they’d caused so at him, he realized how much he’d truly missed his friend Sure, he’d known it as a kid It had prettytime after that, but seventeen years had passed He wouldn’t have thought seeing Cooper would still iven that Cooper had been his one real friend fro a room was probably a s an apartet his furniture business off the ground

Well, he guessed, there was his answer "You okay?" he asked

Coop was still hacking away, but nodded his head, before he took another drink to calhost of a memory from the day before snuck into his head "I’m pretty sure I told you yesterday"

"You could hardly speak straight" Coop’s blue eyes widened "Not straight, straight I mean, you were all messed up because of the pain h jumped out of his mouth He tried to hold his ribs, but it didn’t stop the pain froh him He’d never seen Coop so flustered in his life

"Asshole," Coop grunted "It’s not that funny"

Maybe it wasn’t, but Noah needed to laugh It felt good, too Well, besides the killer pain in his ribs "Shit You’re right I’ay, if they aren’t"

Cooper crossed his arhter left the rooame time Where he’d find out if his friend would want him to leave, all because of who Noah was attracted to He couldn’t read the look in Coop’s eyes Didn’t know hih anymore, to knohat his intense stare meant
