Teddy Bear (boyxboy)

Chapter 29

(A/N: sorry It took so long for me to update guys i sorta had a lot going on in my life for the past few weeks. But I'll try and do a double update today for you 😚😚)

Damiens POV

Waking up in the middle of the night with a sore back from being cramped on a bed to tiny for me was unpleasant to say the least. The only thing that made it remotely bearable was the fact that I had teddy curled up into my chest like a god damn teddy bear the whole night.

Deciding to get a small glass of water, i slowly removed myself from Teddy's death grip, replacing my body with a pillow. I quietly tiptoed across his bedroom, avoiding the particularly squeaky and loud floorboards.

Luckily, I already knew my way around their house pretty well, despite not having been here the longest time. Teddy's house was kid of laid out like my own childhood home, which wasn't necessarily a good thing, but it did make it easier to find my way around.

I nearly had a heart attack when I stepped into the kitchen, only to be met with the sight of Teddy's mom, getting her own glass of water. Ok— that sounded mean- she isn't that scary... I just wasn't expecting to see her, thats all.

I wordlessly walked over to the cabinets with the glasses, avoiding eye contact with her at all costs. I could feel her presence still in the kitchen, silently observing my every move as I filled up my own glass.

I didn't bother saying anything to her for the longest time, but then a thought popped into my head. Talk to her, and try to get her not to hate you while no one else is around. That way there is less drama. With confidence, I turned on my heel to face the woman who seems to hate me more than the devil himself.

"You know" I broke the silence, "You don't have to love me. But the way you've been treating Teddy all because of his relationship with me is really hurting him"

She scoffed, as if she didn't care about my words, which only angered me further.

"You're his mom" I said as calmly as possible, trying not to unleash my fury on her, "he loves you. He wants you to be proud of him. Everyone can see that the way you're treating him is hurting him."

"He shouldn't have whore'd around and gotten into a relationship then" she spat, rolling her eyes.

"Your son is not a fucking whore. He is the kindest and purest human being I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I'll be damned if I sit here and let you call him something that he isn't. There's nothing wrong with him being in a relationship" I responded harshly, my voice on the verge of exploding with anger.

She met my eyes with a challenging glare, which I returned tenfold.

"He needs to focus on school. He can't do that if he's sleeping around with boys like you, who are only going to call it a 'relationship' until you get what you want, and end up leaving him" She stated confidently, as if she knew exactly how the whole situation would play out.

Despite my anger towards her, I tried to find the reasoning behind her words.

She's a mother. Of course she's going to be protective of Teddy. She thinks I only want him for sex. Even though how she treated Teddy was wrong, I understood her fear behind her words.

I sighed to myself, trying to find a way past the barricade she put up against me. "Your son is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time" I started to say with full sincerity, "He means the world to me, and I'm not using him for my own needs. I want Teddy with me for the long run as my partner in every aspect of my life. And if you still don't like me, even though I'm here, reassuring you that I'm not using Teddy, then thats your problem. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you have to like me, but I'm telling you to not take it out on Teddy, because thats just a shitty thing to do. Your son is not a child anymore. He's an adult. And you need to trust the decisions he's making. Don't let your negative opinions on the people in his life, come in between your relationship with him"
