Chapter 21 - Kisses in the candlelight

George's POV -

I sat onto my soft, cozy bed. Clay was at work, and I was stuck all alone at home. What else am I supposed to do? I laid down on my back, staring at the ceiling. Sometimes I wish I could cling onto him all day, not worrying about a thing. He would always be with me, keeping me calm. I shook my head at the thought. What the hell? Why am I thinking this? He's just one of my chill friends I've met online since childhood.

I exhaled loudly, and sat up. I've been overly clingy for him, but why?

My eyes widened. Oh wait, I should surprise him when he comes home! He always comes home from work exhausted, so maybe needs a little....love. I cringed at the word. What does he like? What would he enjoy? Hmmm, he probably likes chocolate, because who doesn't? Ummm, I'm assuming his favorite color is green, and his favorite animal in the whole wide world is...Patches or Cat...

This literally doesn't help anything. I know that he loves guacamole and pasta, but not together. I could make him homemade pasta and go to the store to fetch some groceries.

I'm overthinking this, maybe I should just call someone. I grabbed my phone off my nightstand and checked the time. 11:47 am. It's almost noon, which means Clay will be home soon! I beamed happily at the thought, Patches squirming through a crack in the doorway.

I crouched down to her level and pet her head gently. "Hey sweetie!" I giggled. She squinted her eyes and meowed sweetly. Cat must've wanted some attention too, and sat in my lap. "Hey kitties, what do you want?" Cat let out a cute purr and nudged my hand that I was petting him with.

As I began to stand up, they maneuvered their way out the doorway and into the living room. As I signed into my phone and clicked the Contacts app, I couldn't help but look at Clay's contact. My finger hovered slightly over the call button, but I didn't press it. Gosh, I'm just so stupidly clingy. Get it together! I kept scrolling until I found Karl's number, immediately facetiming him.

The call began, showing my face. I cringed at myself, looking at the dry patches on my face and the few small blackheads. Guess I'll have to fix that later or on call. After a couple seconds, Karl joined the call. "Hey, what's up? I'm not streaming btw." I let out a sigh at those words. "Hey Karl, I'm just chilling with the cats, but I'm so lonely. Clay isn't home from his job outside of gaming, and I'm so bored without him." He let out an unexpected giggle, catching me slightly off guard. He was probably thinking I was clingy for him or something. "Speaking of which, how is your first couple days with moving in with him? Is there anything that isn't the nicest at his house?" Karl questioned.

My eyes widened from the question. "O-oh! It's going pretty well, except the fact that I have to smell Sapnap's stinky ass farts whenever I enter his room. Otherwise, it's pretty good. Dre-I mean Clay looks so good in person, he just, I don't know. His kindness and smiles in person make me so happy, it almost seems like he's a person I can trust my life with. He makes me feel so safe in his arms, like, I can't focus on my surroundings. Around him I feel so loved, it almost feels like I'm floating" I explained.

It was an understatement to say that Karl's jaw was dropped. He smiled brightly afterwards. "He makes you that happy, hmm?" He murmured close to his phone mic. I scratched the back of my neck, the lovely feeling making me feel nice. "Well, I- yea?" I was worried where this was going. "George, you might have some feelings for him dude! I mean, it sounds very similar to the feelings I have for someone to be completely honest..." Karl explained, shyly smiling at the end.

"My head tilted in curiosity. What do you mean by that, and who is this special someone? I swear to god if you don't tell me, I'm gonna-" I began to say, but got interrupted by a sweet giggling Karl. "He may or may not be the person who farts -and you have to smell them..." My jaw dropped slightly and I overreacted by putting a hand over my mouth. "And we're not done, he's got golden brown hair and is honestly super insane". I stopped to think. My brain nearly exploded. "SAPNAP?!?!"
