"Thanks for letting me borrow these." Kevin said as he came out of the bathroom in his new attire. Surprisingly, it was just right right size. "My mom would have freaked if she saw me with my ragged shirt and jeans."
Kyle had also changed clothes, and took the liberty of throwing both of their old, destroyed clothes into the trash. "No problem due." Kyle replied, forcing himself not to glance over at his left shoulder. Even though he was no longer joined with Kevin, he was having a hard time breaking the habit of turning his head to talk. He had been joined so long, that his left shoulder actually felt bare. He was actually missed being joined a little.
Despite his brief time being joined, even Kevin found himself glancing over to his right every once in awhile. They both laughed nervously at the silence. Finally he broke it, "Well, I guess I had better head back home. My parents are going to be out of town for their anniversary so I have to watch my brother."
"Oh yeah" Kyle quickly responded. "You wouldn't want to hold them up on leaving. I-I'll walk you to the door." With that, they walked the short distance to the door.
Kevin opened it, but stopped about half-way through. "Uh... before I go I wanted to ask you what you were planning to do with the eagle chains? You can't really leave your brother and dad joined."
"Yeah... even though Josh deserves it, I really shouldn't force my dad to deal with him. I guess I'll talk with them about what we should do. Two people apparently have no choice but to be joined so we'll use the weekend to come up with a plan for next week."
"With just the three of you? How are you going to pull off going to school and you dad going to work?" Kevin asked, hinting at something else though. "What if... my brother and I helped you guys?" Kyle raised an eye brow. "We already know about the chains, and we both have first hand experience, like you. Between the 5 of us we could probably work out a system."
"Really? You know your volunteering to joining with a perv and his family." Kyle teased.
"Funny?" Kevin replied. "But seriously, your going to need the help. You and your brother obviously don't get along, and your dad probably has to work a lot. I'm positive my brother would love the chance to join with me, that'll be interesting, and... we did start to get along toward the end of our joining session. I mean, I wouldn't mind having you for a right shoulder again... if you wanted to."
Kyle couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, yeah you make a good point. And, I wouldn't mind either if you wanted to be my left shoulder." The two shared a smile, and shook on the deal. "If you wanted to... I could come over and we could finish our science project at your house?"
"Oh yeah, we had better finish it at my house." Kevin replied. "You want to go now?"
"Just give me one sec." Kyle said as he walked to the kitchen. He grabed the magnet notepad from the fridge and wrote down a message for his brother and dad. Placing it back on the fridge, he left with Kevin to his house, the eagle chains in his pocket.
