After the decorations are hung up, Royce and mom set up two long card tables and add Spiderman table clothes and bowls of chips and other snacks for the kids. 

My grandmother pulls up behind Royce's car and my brother flies out and to the back where it looks like a Marvel comic threw up. 

The look on his wide eyes, the way his jaw drops as he takes in the Spiderman stuff, makes me realize what an idiot I was for being angry about Royce wanting to help out.  

"Whoa!" he says and my other brother Tyler's eyes pop too and he smiles just as big as Trevor. 

"Holy shit"  Tyler says. 

"Language!" I raise my voice to him and he rolls his eyes and keeps looking around. Trevor and him walking over to the snacks table. 

"Wow this is so cool!" he says of a little fucking cardboard centerpiece, and it breaks my heart a little that he was amazed by something so small. 

"do you like it? Your mom and sister worked real hard putting it all up" Royce says.

"I love it!" Tyler squeaks. 

He jumps up and down and then runs over to me and throws him arms around my waist.

"thank you!" he buries his face in my chest, and my heart breaks as he starts to cry.

"Hey, hey" I say petting his head as he buries his face in my shirt, sniffling and crying. I rub his back. 

"Royce helped too. He helped us a lot." I tell him. 

Trevor nods as he lifts his head and I swipe his tears with my thumbs and smile. 

"You deserve it bud" I tell him. 

"Tell Royce thank you" I whisper.

He turns and looks to Royce who I find with his eyes all misty and fuck. Im going to fuck the shit out of him later for looking so fucking sweet and adorable as he swallows and clears his throat, trying not to be emotional over my little brother. 

"thank you Royce!" he says, running over, bull dozing into Royce, knocking him a step back. 

Royce laughs, and wraps his arms around him, and pats his back, and I see a tear slip and I wipe my own cheeks from the happy tears falling from them as I watch Royce with him. 

"Did Royce do all this?" My other brother Tyler asks quietly. I nod. 

"That's so cool." he says. "He's so cool." 

My mouth twitches with a little smile. 

"Yeah, he's pretty cool." I agree as I watch him point out all the decorations to Trevor, making sure he doesnt miss a thing. 

I wrap my arms around Tylers shoulders and kiss the top of his head as we watch our brother and Royce move around the small back yard. 

"There's my birthday boy!" My mother calls walking out the back door and my little brothers lights up. 

"Mom this is awesome! Thank you so much!" he squeaks again, and runs to her and hugs her tight and my mother smiles. 

I look over to Royce as my mother also tells Trevor that Royce helped a lot. Royce tries to deny it, but that's one thing we won't let him get away with. He made my brothers day, we were going to be sure he took the credit he deserved. 

I walk over to Royce and look up at him as he smiles down at me. 

"you crying big boy?" I tease as I reach up and swipe at his cheeks even though theres no tears falling, just that single one id seen a few minutes ago, but his eyes are still watering.

"Got a branch in my eye or something" he says clearing his throat and I laugh and I grab his face, and pull him down to me.

"Thank you" I say and I kiss him. 

"Ew, gross" I hear Tyler say, and me and Royce both smile and then pull away from each other as I turn to Tyler.

"I'll remember that when I catch you kissing Larissa eventually" I say of the girl he claimed to be annoyed by that lived a few houses down. But he secretly had a crush on her. 

Trevor  laughs at this and my mom bites back her own laughter as Tyler makes a face of pure disgust but also blushes, turning as red as the spiderman shit around the backyard.

"Whatever" he mutters and I laugh a little and Royce slips up behind me , wrapping his arms around me, resting them on my shoulders as he sneaks his face up beside mine and kisses my cheek. 

I catch my mom staring at us, her eyes lighting up and hiding a little smile. I roll my eyes as Royce doesnt even notice and kisses my cheek again, and again. I laugh and shrug him off and then playfully push him. 

"Alright. enough" I say and he laughs. 

"Oh I got you something." he says to me and grabs my hand. I follow him with a laugh as he pulls me along the side of the house.  

"you better not have bought me anything, you said you wouldnt ever, if i remember clearly." I say.

"Shut up Kit" he says and opens the back of his g wagon and pulls out a dark square of black fabric, and then shuts the door and hands it over to me. It's a shirt and when I hold it by the neck hole and let it drop I laugh. 

"So we can match" he says as I look at the spider man shirt, that is identical to his , only smaller. 

"This is..." I say. Chewing my lip and shaking my head and still fighting a small laugh. 

"sickeningly cute." I say and he smiles when I look up at him and he shrugs. 

"I didnt want you to be the only loser NOT wearing a spider man shirt." he says and then opens the door and pulls out a big brown box and my eyes widen. 

"What the hell did you do.." I say as I take in the box FULL of the same shirt.

"It's dress code baby!" he says. 

"You cant get in unless you're wearing one of these bad boys." he says and I roll my eyes.

"that is absolutely ridiculous, and such a waste of money." I say. 

His brows pinch. "Listen....I mean this respectfully...but shut up." he says and I bite my lips together fighting a little laugh. 

"Go on, roll your eyes gorgeous. I know you want to." he says and I bite my lip. 

"That's right..I called you gorgeous too. Deal with it." he says and I roll my eyes then, because of course he noticed the reaction I had to him saying that. I was used to "hot" and "sexy" from him. But whenever beautiful and gorgeous slipped from him, god...It did things to me. 

Royce brings the box of t shirts to the back and I follow with mine in my hand. 

"Whats that?!" Trevor says rushing over and his eyes widen.

"Everyone who comes, has to wear one." Royce says. My mother and I looking at each other. She just shrugs when I look at her speaking silently to her, questioning her with just one look on how she could allow something so ridiculous. 

"Do I get one too?!" Trevor squeals. 

"Of course man...but yours is special...hold on." he says, and digs into the shirts, finding one that's buried a few rows under and pulls it out. 

"Whoa! Cool!" he says and grabs the shirt as Royce holds it up. It has a hood attachment that zips up into a spider man mask complete with eye holes. I shake my head.

"This is awesome! I wanted one like this!" trevor says and my other brother plucks a shirt his size from the pile. 

"Well go change into it! We have to see if it fits" Royce says. 

I laugh as Trevor rips his shirt off in the middle of the yard , all of us laughing as he excitedly pulls the new shirt on. 

"thank you Royce!" he says as he zips up the hood part excitedly, while Royce helps him, making sure he doesnt get his hair caught in it at the top. 

"Course man...happy birthday" he says as Trevor throws another hug at him and Royce laughs, patting his back. 

"You gonna put yours on?!" My brother asks me and my mom. My mom laughs and Royce, picks out a shirt for her and hands it to her. 

"Go put them on!" Trevor jumps excitedly. 

"Okay okay" I say with a laugh and me and my mother go inside while Royce stays outside with the boys. 

"Oh Kitty" my mom says, already gushing. "I really like him." 

I roll my eyes. "course you do, he just gave your son an already awesome birthday party and it hasnt even started" I laugh as I pull off my tank top in the middle of the kitchen and swap it for the shirt. Laughing when I realize Royce gave me a kids size, probably on purpose. Cause it shows off a sliver of my stomach as I pull my hair out of the neck of it. 

"No Kitty...that boy is in love with you." she says and I pause. 

"No mom...it's not like that." I say quickly denying it. "We're just friends." I tell her. 

"Dont give me that...you two have been sneaking around for years with each other." she says and I blink at her. 

"I  may be a busy woman , and not get to spend enough time with you or the boys, but dont think i dont keep any eye on you girl." she says. I bite my lips together. 

"But its really not like that ma." I say. 

"Well not right now it's not...but he's in love with you...as he should be.." she says and gives a little huff.

"My children are perfect..especially you." she says. "Why wouldnt he love my daughter?" 

"ma. stop" I say with a laugh and shake my head. 

"Why arent you two dating?" she asks, placing a hand on her hip. 

"cause, i told you..it's not like that...and theres no point anyway..in a few months he'll be going off to college out of state...and i'll be...you know..here..working or doing whatever." I say with a shrug. 

"so?" she shrugs.

"Mom, just...please...drop it alright? We're friends. Good friends. That's it." I say not wanting to get into my confusing feelings I had for Royce, and didnt want to worry about whether or not those feelings were reciprocated or not. And even if they were, at this point, it didnt matter. In two months, we'd both be seperated by thousands of miles. What we had for ourselves for two years, was working just fine, and it would work just fine for the next two months without making it complicated. 

"fine, fine" she says throwing her hands up. 

"I'm just saying. He's a sweet boy." she adds.

"I know mom." I say. "But he's sweet to everyone, it doesnt mean anything." I say, only half believeing the words coming out of my mouth. 

"Mhm. Okay." she says and I sigh as she walks away to change her shirt. 

I walk back outside and watch Royce laugh at something that Trevor says and then his eyes lift up. My brother looks too.

"I think you need a bigger size shirt. Your belly is showing." Trevor says, pointing to my midriff.

"Nah little man, she's wearing the right shirt." he says, standing up and messying my brothers hair making me roll my eyes and he walks over. 

"Fuck" he mutters. "Thnck Ive got a spiderman fetish now too" he says quietly so only I can hear and I laugh and push at his chest. 

---

The party starts as people from nearby houses show up with their kids, everyone laughing as Royce demands they wear spiderman shirts. Trevor begging the adults to participate and they all oblige.  

Since the neighborhood itself is poor, we dont do gifts in front of the other kids. Just the cake, and ice cream, while the kids play a few small yard games that Royce also picked up, thinking of everything. 

We lean against the front end of his G wagon, my back to his as his arms slips around my waist and he rests his chin on my shoulder, giving sneaky little kisses to my neck whenever nobody is watching.

"Not to be a dick...but how much longer till I can fuck you in that tiny spiderman t shirt?" he whispers and I laugh and turn slowly in his arms. 

I swing my arm up around behind his neck. 

"How about right now?" I whisper and lick my tongue over his lower lip and then part his mouth and give him a beyond pg-13 kiss, as I push my body against his. 

"don't tease me." he groans. 

"I'm not teasing." I say with a smirk, and grab his hand, and pull him in the side door of the house.
