"We're all going on a cruise for two weeks", said Eric.
"Oh a CRUISE!! Sweet!" said Flavius. He continued to slouch on Eric's bed, examining the toy boat. "Sounds like fun".
"Yeah!" said Eric. He turned to Flavius, "Wish you could come with us!"
"Oh! Sorry bruh, no can do. God-stuff. Busy. Gotta...uh...re-fluff the clouds, or whatever...they don't stay all fat and squishy on their own, y'know..."
Eric groaned. He HATED Flavius's jokes, but they still made him laugh.
"Flavius...please stop".
"Besides! You'll have more fun without me", he said.
Flavius got off the bed and walked towards Eric. "And besides".
He reached out and grabbed Eric by the throat!...and then let his fingers relax, before trailing under Eric's shirt, to pull something out. A gold locket on a golden chain around the boy's neck.
"...I'll always be with you", he whispered. He patted the golden locket, and popped it open. Inside, engraved on the gold was Flavius's and Eric's names on one side...and sealed behind glass, a lock of Flavius's hair.
He raised the locket and kissed it. Then he smiled, dropped it back down, and patted Eric on the shoulder.
"Just don't do nothin' stupid! I'm not your personal life-insurance policy, OK? I got other kids around the world to look after too".
"Flaaavius..." Eric groaned, rolling his eyes.
"Hey, just because I can make it snow in summer doesn't mean I can be everywhere at once, OK? I got stuff to do and I'm busy. Besides, I promised the mayor of London that I'd be there to help open the new kids' hospital".
"London isn't that far away!"
"London England, not London Ontario! Anyway brah, I gotta go. I'll see you around!"
Eric nodded. In a flash of gold, Flavius vanished. Eric stared around his room. Well, he better finish his packing...
