Alistair smiled at Chase. "Thanks," he whispered with a sniffle. "This part always gets to me."
As they settled back in, Alistair carefully wrapped an arm around Chase's waist. His eyes started to droop and his head rested back on Chase's head.
"Tale as old as time… True as it can be… Barely even friends… Then somebody bends… Unexpectedly…" he sang softly as the movie ended.
Chase leaned back against Alistair and started snuggling. He was so warm, and the sweatshirt was so soft, and the music he sang was so relaxing… It was no wonder when Chase’s eyes drooped closed into a deep sleep just as the movie finished.
Alistair looked over at Chase's sleeping face and smiled. He carefully set his laptop to the side and pulled up the blanket. Wrapping an arm around Chase's waist, he gently kissed his forehead and settled down by him, slowly drifting into a peaceful sleep.
I'm so glad I met you, Chase…
Chase woke up later, yet he didn’t open his eyes immediately, instead stretching his arms around the heat source next to him. It took him a few minutes to finally open his eyes, and when he did he realized it was Alistair. What Chase should have done was get out of bed and call his parents then tell them where he was. However, Chase was selfish so he just closed his eyes and laid his head on top of Alistair’s shoulder. Just a few more minutes…
(Did I just hallucinate and imagine that or r u editing? Lol)
As Alistair slowly woke up, he blinked his eyes sleepily. Turning his head to face Chase, he smiled happily.
"Hey, sleepyhead," he said softly, "I know you're awake, I felt you move." He reached over and poked his nose.
(yes, sorry!)
“Hey,” Chase said, his eyes slowly opening to look at Alistair, “You’re really warm and snuggly,” He said without thinking, scooting closer to Alistair. Those words he’d almost said before he’d fallen alseep entered his mind. I love you. But he couldn’t possibly say it out loud, so instead he asked tiredly, “What time is it?”
(yes, sorry!)
(Ur good, lol)
"Thanks," Alistair chuckled into Chase's hair. "How are you feeling?"
He shifted so that he could see Chase's face better, a soft smile on his face.
“A lot better. That salve really helped,” Chase replied, looking at Alistair through his lashes. He felt so safe, just laying there with Alistair but… “My parents are probably wondering were I am…” He mumbled sadly. Chase didn’t want to leave. It felt like a nice pastel pink, just being there.
"Welllll," Alistair considered, as he somehow snuggled even closer to Chase. "I'm sure Kelsey wouldn't mind if we stayed… You could call your parents and ask to have a sleepover?"
Chase tried to not get to excited, “That sounds amazing,” And though Chase didn’t want to get up, he stood and called his parents.
“Where are you? I know you told us about staying after school, but you’ve been gone a long time, Chase.”
“I know, sorry Dad, we watch a movie and-“ Chase began sheepishly.
“Chase, you should have called us sooner.”
“I’m sorry. I really am Dad. I promise I’ll call you sooner next time. I wanted to ask if I could spend the night and Alistair’s house? Please?” Chase asked hopefully, and he heard his father sigh.
“Okay, do you want me to bring your stuff over?”
Chase looked at Alistair questioningly, “My dad asked if he should drop my stuff off…?”
"Sure," Alistair replied with a smile. "Kelsey's address is (~ADDRESS~). Also, she works the evening shift at the hospital, so she'll be leaving in an hour or so." He got up and stretched, his shirt riding up a bit.
Chase told his dad and hung up the phone, and he sneaked a glance at Alistair as he stretched. Chase blushed and turned away for a second, holding in a smile. Chase went back and sat on the edge of the bed, “May dad said he’ll be here in a half hour or so, what should we do until then?”
"Alrighty! Well," Alistair thought for a moment. "There's a pool out back; we could swim if you want? I've got a pair of trunks you could borrow." then, remembering the bruises, he added, "I also have a swim shirt. Or we could just stay inside and watch more Netflix." he said with a smile, sitting down next to Chase. "Whatever you want to do."
“Swimming doesn’t sound bad,” Chase replied, envisioning Alistair shirtless then blushing. He looked at Alistair, “But your choice.”
(I have to go in like ~10 minutes for a golf meet….)
(anyone else but Rvan and skylark on?)
(me)
Hello there//
(hai)
(do you guys want our characters to meet randomly at like a park or near the school or something?)
(I am.)
“Swimming doesn’t sound bad,” Chase replied, envisioning Alistair shirtless then blushing. He looked at Alistair, “But your choice.”
"Okie dokie, swimming it is then," Alistair said with a grin. He went over to the dresser and pulled out two pairs of trunks and a swim shirt. Handing them to Chase, he turned toward the door. "I can change in the bathroom; you can change in here, okay?"
