The Silent One || Callahan x Reader

☆ Chapter 11 ☆

Y/n POV

I was in bed, his arms wrapped around me as small snores left his mouth. I couldn't sleep, not after what happened, the butterflies wouldn't settle. I just stared at the curtains as I thought about anything and everything.

What are we?

The question popped up and I froze. What if he just knew I liked him and felt bad for me? No Callahan isn't that type of person, right?

I soon began to over think it all, down to the last detail, until my thoughts slowly became silent and I fell asleep.

I woke up with his arms around me, just as I had fallen asleep. It felt safe. I didn't bother to move, I didn't want to wake him and I was to comfortable, so I just snuggled into his arms. I stayed there for another 10 minutes before he woke up, "hi" I smiled at him and he smiled back, we took a moment to look at each other while slightly zoning out. "What do you want to do today?" I asked, still studying his face "just cuddle" he said in a sleepy voice as I felt his hug around my waist tighten a little "okay then" I said as I placed my head into the crook of his neck and closed my eyes.  

I must have fallen asleep again cause when I opened them Callahan was gone, I instantly felt lonely. I sat up and walked out of the room to look for him, but he wasn't in the kitchen or living room, I soon gave up and sat down on the couch, that's when it started. The light strum of a guitar played quietly from behind the front door and a voice soon followed it.   

Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right
If I'm not forward I can't possibly get hurt, right
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight
So settle downIs it weird I wanna be with you at midnight
I think you'd look especially lovely in the moonlight
What am I saying, I can't even get my words right
When you're around

I walked over to the door and slowly raised my hand to the doorknob, I turned it lightly, not wanting to make noise. And then I flung the door open, and there sat Callahan with papers in front of him and ukulele in hand. He looked up at me, looking startled. We both looked at each other for abit "we aren't gonna talk about this" he said with a huff as he stood up and gathered his things around him.

"No that was really good, from what I heard" I said, stopping him before he got through the front door. He looked at me in the eyes "forget you heard that okay? Now wanna watch a movie?" He said as he ducked under my arm "you pick, I'll make popcorn"
