Brunette boy | Viscount Tewkesbury

Part seventeen

+ late night walk +

I don't know what time it is but I know it's late at night.

We were back from the lake.

I couldn't sleep. I looked out the window. The moon was shining through the curtains. I twisted and turned nothing worked.

"Still can't sleep" whispered a voice.

No..." I said turning to face him. He was already looking at me.

"Put your boots on." He told me.

"Why?"

"We are going for a late night walk" he said, walking towards the door and putting his shoes on.

I got up quietly and put on my boots. He waited for me by the door.

I walked towards him. He wrapped his coat around me.

It was huge on me. He smiled at how big the coat was on me.

We walked out of the room together. His hand placed around my shoulder keeping me warm.

We walked out of the place and into the empty village streets.

The moon shining bright above us.

"Father used to take me on late night walks when I was younger. It would help me clear my mind and fall asleep easily." He commented.

The wind blew cold and my hair moved backwards a little.

"He seemed like a nice person..." I said, looking up at him.

"He was. I just wish I had more time with him" he replied, he looked down at the ground.

"I'm sorry"

"It's fine." He looked into my eyes. His hand still wrapped around my shoulder. "What's on your mind?"

"I don't know honestly. Stress, worry, I don't know"

"What is the worry about?"

"Mother, Father, I don't know worry they might find us. I don't know just worry. It might also be missing writing to William, How's he doing. I would write to him every night. I wonder how he's doing. He's and overthinking person." I responded.

"Mhm"

I loved how he was listening closely. I could feel him paying attention to every word that came out of my mouth. I could feel him analyze how I felt.

"Don't worry. He probably knows how hard it was for you to be home alone without him. Although I'm not saying he's not worried. I know he is. But you being worried isn't going to make things better nor for you or for him. You just have to hope he's doing okay."

"Yeah, I guess."

We walked for a couple more minutes. His arm never let go of my shoulder. I wasn't complaining. It made me feel safe. He made me feel safe.

He talked to me about other things. Like his father.

It must've been extremely hard for him to let go of his father. And at such a young age. I feel so bad for him. I don't know what I would do if I were In his place. My poor brunette boy.

"He was my best friend"

"I know he was... don't worry. He's watching over you. I know he is."

He looked at me and smiled. His eyes we watering. The moonlight hitting his face.

I stoped walking and faced him. I held him tightly. I could hear his heart pounding.

A moment later he wrapped his arms around me. His warm arms wrapped around my waist. I felt his tears splashing through my night dress.

I pulled his face up to look at mine.

His sad eyes looking at mine. I softly wiped his tears.

"It's okay my love" I said to him softly. His tears made my heart hurt.

He gave me a small smile. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder again.

We walked back through the empty streets on our way to our place.

I walked him slowly to his bed and helped him tuck in.

I was about to walk towards my bed when I felt his soft hands touch my wrist.

I turned around to face him.

"Thank you darling"

I sat down on his bed, "Yeah Im Here for you if you ever need anything." I replied, while touching his soft face.

"It's the same for you darling" he said softly.
I smiled at him. He placed my hair behind my ear.

"Can I?" I asked him. He nodded his head in approval.

I slowly laid down next to him. He wrapped his arm around me, I hugged him tight.

He reached out towards the lamp I looked up at him to find him on top of me.

He turned off the lights and looked down at me. I looked at his eyes his arm stretched out while his hand was placed next to my head.

The moonlight shining bright.

He smiled and turned to lay back next to me. He brought me closer by pulling me by my waist.

"Goodnight." He replied, his dreamy eyes looking at mine.

I smiled and hugged him. Laid down in a cuddling position. I dug my head into his chest.

He held me tightly making me feel safe.

I could tell he didn't have anyone to talk to about his feelings back home.

That's probably the reason he likes deep conversations. And just like that we both drifted to sleep.
