My Comfy Place

Chapter 13

Tharn's POV
I woke up first the next morning, and when I felt something heavy on my shoulder I looked at my left and saw Type laying on my shoulder with his arm around my waist.

I was a really cute sight too see. It reminds me from when we were little, when we slept over at each others houses almost every weekend. I really missed him, I never forgot about him because he was the only real friend but I never thought I would meet him again because they moved away. When I heard they were moving I cried so much, he was my best friend, the only person who I really could tell everything too but then he needed to leave.

My dad promised me he would go meet them with me but then he died in that accident a few days before my birthday. Since then I lost everything, every person I trusted so much.

I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't know Type woke up until he spoke.

"Hey, are you okay, why are you crying?" He said while he wipped my tears.
"Its nothing, I was just thinking about the past and stuff."
"Really?"
"Yeah, when I woke up I saw you sleeping on my shoulder and it reminded me from when we were young."
"Yeah, we stayed at each others houses almost every weekend." He smiled. "Until I needed to move away." He smile turned sad.
"Yeah, I still remember that I was crying so much that I didn't eat for a week. I didn't even came out of my room." I said.
"Yeah, my parents told me, I felt so sad when they told me but I wasn't much better, I didn't show it to my parents but I always cried myself to sleep and ate less."
"I'm happy I met you again, I never forgot about you, I still have our childhood pictures in my room."
"Yeah, I'm happy too. I have some pictures of us too in here."
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, my mom gave them to me when I said I don't want any other friends, she said that if I don't make other friends you would be sad that I didn't enjoy it here with new people."
"Thats true, because a live without friends isn't fun."

After that it was silent, but it was not an uncomfortable silence, we looked in each others eyes while smiling. I felt my heart beating faster. He looks so cute, with those big round eyes, chubby cheeks and perfect smile.

Type's POV
When I woke up I saw that I was laying on Tharn's shoulder and when I looked up I saw him deep in his thoughts while he was crying.

So I decided to ask him what was wrong because I can't see him cry, when he told me about it I felt kinda sad because my parents always said to me to make friends because he would do the same. But he didn't and it hurts me to think that he had to go through all his hardships alone.

After that we stared at each other, I can't help but notice how perfect he looks. I cant see any imperfection on his face. My heart starts beating faster and I hope he doesn't notice it.

After awhile I heard someone knocking on the door. We both got back to reality and I got up to open the door. When I opened it I saw my mom with a tray of food.

"Good morning mom."
"Good morning, we already ate so I thought I bring this to you two so you can eat here."
"Oh thanks mom."
"No problem but don't forget that we still need to talk."
I actually forgot about it but I just nodded my head.
"Okay so when you are done you can come down and we talk. And Tharn you can stay here and rest a bit."
"Okay " He said.

Then my mom left and I brought the tray of food to my desk. When I was done with placing everything on the table I saw Tharn getting out of bed and walking towards the table.

We sat at the table eating in silence. After we ate I brushed my teeth and I put some clothes on. Before I walked out of the room I turned around.

"If you need something just text me."
"Okay I will."
"Good, I will be back as soon as possible."
"I know, it's not like you are going out of town, you are just gonna talk to your mom and I'm not that hurt that I can't do anything."
"I know, but you are hurt and I said that I would take care of you."
"Okay, but you should go now."
"Yes sir."

We laughed and I went downstairs.

When I entered the kitchen I saw my mom and dad sitting at the table. I placed the tray with our dirty dishes on the counter and walked to the table.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Why did you leave the house?" My mom asked.
"Because you two are always fighting nowadays and I don't want to hear that."
"But why didn't you respond to our texts?" My dad.
"Because my battery died."
"And where did you go to because we called your friends and they said you weren't there." Mom.
"I went to Tharn, I knew him for one day but I really felt comfortable with him and he didn't ask questions like Techno."
"Thats nice, and speaking of Tharn, how did you meet again?" Dad.
"We are in the same university but different faculties, and my friend Longh didn't like Tharn because he didn't talk or had friends and then one day after school we went to this cafe close to school and I saw him there, he looked exhausted and he nearly fainted. Then I asked him to just go home and rest but he refused first saying he needed the money but I talked to his boss and he said he could leave. Then I saw him walking and I gave him a ride home, then I asked his number and stuff. I asked him to have lunch with us and we became friends like that." I said.
"What did he mean that he needed the money." Dad.
"Like he told yesterday his mom threw him out of the house and if he wanted to have a place to stay and go to school he needed to work so before and after school he works and Saturdays too."
"He really had it hard, people his age should enjoy their life now."
"I know that's why when he was in the hospital I asked if he could stay here because he really needs his rest."
"Thats really sweet of you, its nice to see that you still care about each other even you were apart for so long." Mom.
"I know, I never forgot about him, I just never really thought I would meet him again. But now I have him back and I hope it's gonna stay like that." I said while smiling widely.

My parents looked at each other and smiled then they turned to me.

"Do you like him more than a friend?" My dad asked.
"W-why are y-you asking?" I wanted to hit myself for stuttering.
"Because you never talked about someone like that and your smile and eyes tell everything." Mom.
"And what if I do, are you gonna hate me that I like boys?"
"No, no matter who or what you like we are here for you we just dont want you to hurt yourself or make bad decisions." Dad.
"Thank you dad and mom."
"No problem son we love you." Mom.
"I love you guys too."
"Go upstairs, don't let him wait for too long." Dad.
"Its not like we are together."
"Thats true but the look in his eyes says that he likes you too so don't wait for too long to confess." Mom.
"Yes mom." I said and smiled.

I felled really happy that my parents accept me for liking boys. When I went upstairs and entered my room I saw Tharn sleeping again. But it looked like he had a nightmare so I ran to him and tried to wake him up.

When I finally woke him up, he looked a bit lost before he hugged me tight and started crying. I hugged him back and tried to calm him down and after some minutes he stopped crying and loosened his grip a bit.

I faced him while still hugging him and asked if he was fine.

"Are you okay now?" I asked.
"Yeah, just a nightmare. It happens most of the times." He said.
"Is it always the same nightmare?"
"No, but I is the same person that appears."
"Can you tell me about it?" He hesitated a bit before he nodded.
"It was about my mom when she locked me up in the basement for 3 days because I told her that I liked boys." He looked really scared.
"Its okay if you hate me too now. I can go and you won't see me again." He said and was about to stand up before I grabbed his arm and made him sit on the bed again. He looked down when I said.
"I don't hate you, actually I like boys too." I said.

When he heard it he looked up with wide eyes, I just smiled at him and after some times he smiled too.
