Tried to say goodbye and I chocked.

I ended up sleeping over at Alistair's house that night, not that I was complaining because I've been wanting to sleep on that queen size bed since yesterday, it just felt a bit last minute.

"I can lend you some of my pajamas" He suggested nervously while I focused on my game of Black Ops.

"Nah, it's too hot for that. I'll just sleep in my boxers" I assured him. We sat in his living room, with the mind blowing games and technology, I sat on the sofa with half a pizza hanging out of my mouth while he observed me curiously in my actions.

"So, uh, how would you prefer your sleeping arrangements?" He asked quietly, scared about breaking my concentration.

"As long as there's a pillow involved I really don't care", I shrugged, staring at the tv screen," I could fall asleep right now on this carpet and it wouldn't make a difference"

"Really?", He seemed shocked,"We have an extra room you could use, or I could use it-"

"Then that just takes out the whole purpose of a sleepover doesn't it?" I sighed irritably and switched off of the game,"Dude the whole point of a sleepover is to stuff our faces with shit, play games, talk about whatever and then fall asleep at the crack of dawn together. Otherwise I might as well be some hobo looking for a place to chill" I explained, " I stayed here so I could spend more time with you" I ignored the way my stomach flipped when I said that.

"Right", He nodded, his cheeks a little red.

"Yeah", I said awkwardly,"So let's get more pizza from downstairs and I'll find a hilarious movie to put on, okay?" I tried to break the silence.

"Okay" He nodded and I watched him walk out of the room.

"Have you ever watched pineapple express?" I asked as soon as he came back with the beloved pizza.

"No" Alistair replied with a frown and sat next to me, I could feel the heat radiating off his body.

"Well now you will" I demanded and finished the rest of the pizza because I'm a pig like that.

-----------------------

I woke up the next morning to fluffy pillows and a cloud-like duvet covering my body, which I'm pretty was not how I fell asleep the night before. I rolled around in the comfortable bed and rolled over to my right to realise the space next to me was still warm and was recently occupied. I was about to call out Alistair's name when I noticed a muscular back doing pull ups against a bar by the window, I couldn't help but stare at his muscles as he moved up and down, the two dimples at the base of his back connecting to his-

"Morning" I got a fright and almost fell off the bed when Alistair noticed me staring at his body like the creep I am.

"Oh hey" I replied groggily and pulled the duvet closer towards my body.

"You should get up now, I'm going in two hours if you want to escort me to the airport" He replied as casually as a shirtless guy with his abs in your face could.

"Oh, right, because you're going away for two weeks" I said quietly, the heavy feeling in my chest returned.

"Yes" He pursed his lips together, noticing the disappointment,"But I'll be back soon" He said in attempt to cheer me up and honestly, I didn't even know why I was so sad about it.

"Yeah", I sighed and got out of bed only to notice I was shirtless and I didn't feel amazing about being shirtless when Alistair was around me being all shirtless and shit.

"I got you some clothes you could change into because yours from yesterday were dirty" He carefully prodded the folded pile of clothes towards me, noticing my discomfort.

"Thanks", I took the clothes from him and watched the movement in his arms as I did so.

"I've already showered so I'm just finishing my packing. I'll meet you downstairs?", He smiled his shy smile again, his tousled hair covering his eyes and getting in the way of his glasses.

"Yeah, sure. Downstairs" I repeated dumbly and made my way to his bathroom, taking sneaky glances at him on my way there.

"Good morning Kyler", Margaret sounded as excited as ever when I walked into the kitchen.

"Uh, morning" I stared at the table blankly, trying to understand why there was so much food on the table for four people, and then trying to understand why I was even complaining about it.

"How did you sleep?", She patted on the soft pleather seat next to her, ordering me to sit nearby her.

"Great", I nodded,"Thank you for letting me sleepover last minute", because it was pretty last minute,"I had loads of fun last night" Even though I couldn't remember what we ended up doing.

"Absolutely no problem", She said with pure excitement,"You are always welcome in our home if it makes our Alistair happy" Alistair blushed on the other side of the table as he had telepathic conversation with his bowl of cereal.

"Morning boys", Robert's voice boomed through the room,"Did you two have a good time?" He smiled at us expectantly.

"Yes father" Alistair answered for us.

"That's good" He nodded,"So are all your bags packed?" He raised his eyebrows at Alistair.

"Yes Father", He replied and finished up his cereal.

"Right, well I'll just go put them in the but, and Kyler you can join us in dropping Alistair off at the airport or we could drop you off now" He informed me gently.

"I don't mind mind going to the airport" I shrugged.

The drive to the airport started out fun with loud music and talking over each other about the most random things we could come up with, but as we got closer to the airport and parked the car, the heavy feeling in my chest returned, only heavier.

And the most digusting realisation dawned on me.

Alistair was going away for two weeks.

I was going to miss Alistair.

"I'm going to miss you", I blurted out as we stared into the huge window, watching planes land and fly over from different directions.

"Yeah?", He sounded very surprised,"I'll miss you too"

"You'll call me right?"

"Everyday"

"Flight C890 to Switzerland at Gate 16 is now boarding" The intercom interrupted us.

"That's me" He smiled and we walked in silence to the gate he was boarding through, when we arrived there we met up with his sensei and a few other guys, I felt a twinge of jealously as I greeted them and they gave Alistair excited hugs.

He quickly walked over to me before boarding on the flight, looking down on me with this weird look on his face,"So, uh, Bye" I felt my throat close and I tried to clear it as casually as possible. He stretched out his hands towards me an-

He was hugging me.

All warm and snugly and damn he smells like vanilla and sunshine.

I hugged him back and sneakily sniffed him because duh you can't expect people to not sniff you when you smell like that.

I cried a tiny bit once I watched his figure disappear through the doorway and tried to decide what the fuck I was going to do for rest of the week.
