Jon lay sprawled across the bed, eyes closed, breath shallow. To anyone else it might have looked like he was asleep, but Todd knew better. Jon never slept passed eight, and it was just after eight-thirty.
He took a step into the room and grabbed the nerf gun from its hook. Jon was going down. He clicked the action and got the first rubber and foam bullet into the chamber. He sighted with practiced ease, eye following the top of the barrel to Jon’s forehead and then moving up ever so slightly to account for the toy guns lack of power. A quick squeeze and the dart flew towards Jon, and.. hit.
“Well shot,” Jon said from the corner of the room, causing Todd to grin. The illusion spell lifted, Todd could see that what he’d really shot had been a basketball and line of pillows.
“You’re getting better since we found that book.” He commented, walking over to the bed and picking up the dart, replacing it in the gun and putting it back on the hook by the door.
“Yeah, I practice every day,” Jon replied, looking out the window next to him, “Hey, you seen this new girl?”
“The one who moved in yesterday? No, my mom went over to give them some cookies, but I was busy.” He went to stand beside Jon and looked out over his shoulder. “Wow.”
Jon nodded in agreement, “Smokin’”
“Want to go introduce ourselves?” Todd asked, turning towards the door since he already knew Jon’s answer.
“I think so.” Jon agreed, following him out the bedroom.
