The Story Of Us(JImmyxTommy)

Morning Tease

Always, i would wake up on a hard mattress and a stiff pillow with a thin blanket covering over my body. The tips of my fingers and toes would be freezing and sometimes numb. But this time it wasn't hard, not soft either, which i was sleeping on. It was warm. Very warm and cozy. The air i was breathing in was filled with soft fragrance. I opened my eyes, wondering where i was. My eyes were blurry from the sleep. I was on someone. My head leaning on his chest and my body was on his laps. The room was dimmed with a scatter of sun light. We were on a big sofa and a sleigh bed can be seen not far away. There was also a big wardrobe. This modern room isn't mine...not at all. 

I raised my head a little to see the person's face. It was...Jimmy? I kept my eyes on him for a while. Thinking that this is just my usual morning hallucination or a dream. But no. His sleeping figure didn't disappear nor i woke up again. So....wait...last night...after all that happened..i ended up sleeping on him? The whole night til now? 

I leaned my head on him again. I feel bad that he had to let me sleep on him the whole time yet i feel contented. And i want to stay like this a bit more. Just a bit.

After some minutes, he moved. Without any reason, i closed my eyes shut, pretending to be asleep. I can hear him yawning and stretching. 

"Ow..." He whimpered quietly. I peeked at him very quick, wanting to know why. He was rubbing his neck. Of course. For about eight hours sleeping on the sofa like this, he might've felt very uncomfortable and his neck might be sore by now. For a person like him who sleeps on a luxurious bed with a fur or wool blanket. I used to have a splendid life, too. But luck seems like it doesn't want to stay by my side all the time.

I felt his hand caressing my head, playing with my hair. It feels so good. So good that i didn't even want to wake up anymore. But he stopped. And stood up, snatching me up along in his hands, taking me by surprise. My eyes shot open and gripped on his shirt.

"Oh..sorry..Did i wake you?" I just shook my head.

"Put me down.." I earned a squint from him.

"Why?" 

"Don't you remember? I'm afraid of heights." It's not that high. It's just my heart flutters too much when he swoops me up like this. He smiled to my reply. More like a smirk.

"Of course, i remember." He said. Instead of putting me down, he brought me up higher and closer to his face so now that our faces were only inches away. My face heated up and i looked away, avoiding his gaze. He giggled before walking to the bed and letting me sit on the edge.

"So..i'll go take a shower. Is that ok?" I nodded without looking at him. 

"About last night.."

"Shhh" Before i could continue, he shushed me with his index finger across my lips. I blinked.

"Don't think about it anymore. Stay happy and....forget about it okay?"

"....."

"Be happy.." I didn't understand the meaning of his words or the meaning in his eyes. I hummed and looked down. Feeling my cheeks heating up again. 

He ruffled my hair and stepped away. When i heard a certain door closed, i finally looked up. I huffed with disappointment of myself. Why was i acting so embarrassed like a girl?

I looked around the room again. The curtains are so elongated. Or maybe it seems so tall only for me? It looks normal for Jimmy though. The ceiling is also very high. And it's decorated with...wait...twinkle lights? 

I suddenly got mesmerized and stood up, observing it. It's created like a night sky. Many small and big stars and in the middle, a half moon. It will be very beautiful when lit at night, i'm sure. 

I turned around and saw something on the bedside table, which got all my attention. I walked to it and picked up the small frame in both of my hands. It's a picture of...me..and him. He was looking at me with his blinding beam and i was also smiling hard, holding a big cake in my hand. The day i turned to fourteen. The day he made my birthday cake himself. It's not that he baked the cake. He designed it. And i would be lying if i said it wasn't the happiest birthday of my life. I still remember that cake. It's...a blue one with stars around it , designed like a galaxy. And up on the surface was a beaming emoticon. I really liked it. 

I smiled at the memory and put the picture down on the table again. I didn't think he would put the picture of us on his bedside table, instead of his family's picture. Because i did the same.

I turned around and walked to the glass window, shifting the curtain a bit to see outside. There were bulky men guarding at the gate and...a lot more in the garden too. Are they spies or bodyguards? Also the fence is too tall. Now i feel like living in a modern jail. It feels so enclosed in here. Also when i look at the street, i can't realize where the place i'm in now. It's been years that i've been living in this city yet i've never been around here before. 

I walked back to the bed and sat on it. Not long after, Jimmy came out. Oh...only a towel on him? Can he not wear a bathrobe or something? Habits doesn't change huh?

"Where are we now?" I asked.

"Las Vegas." He looked at me confused.

"I know. I mean...where am i?"

"Oh.." He thought for a moment before continuing.

"You're in my house." He said with a shrug, causing me to pout.

"I know! The location i mean." He chuckled.

"Well...let's say you're in my territory "

"Your territory?"

"This place, about some more acres around the house, i own it. Ok more like my dad owns it. So..only me and people who i let in can enter this area."

 ".....Are you a gangster or something?" I asked with complete curiosity.

"We'll talk about it later. Now you go take a shower."

"But-" 

"Just go hamsty. I'll be waiting for you in breakfast downstairs."

"Don't call me hamsty."

"So what? Shorty?"

"Oh you bean sprout. Shut up."

"I'm not bean sprout anymore!"

"So what? Boiled chicken?"

"Tommy-" Before he could protest, i slammed the bathroom door shut, before bursting into laughter. It's not that i don't like his teasing. Of course i like it. It's fun being teased by him and teasing him back.....I've missed it. So much. My life has been too lonely without him.
