It was a Sunday afternoon and Tom was laying in bed, contemplating calling Daniel. He hadn't spoken to him since last Sunday, when Daniel told him they shouldn't be together anymore. Tom knew Daniel couldn't stay away from him even if he tried, they had been so close for so many years.
Tom rolled over to the left side of the bed, grabbed his cell and hit call.
Ring. Ring. "Potter." Tom lightly joked.
A quiet chuckle escaped Daniels mouth before he replied. "Malfoy."
Tom's face lit up, just hearing the sound of his voice made his whole body tremble.
"I miss you." Tom finally said after a few moments of silence.
"I miss you too.. More than I'd like to admit to myself." Daniels tone was sad, he so badly wanted to be curled up in bed with Tom right now.
"Babe, just come home. Please." Tom begged to his ex lover.
"I .. I can't Tom. You know that." Daniels voice was a bit shaky.
"No, I don't know. You know, at some point Dan, your going to have to stop running from your feelings.. From us."
"I'm not- I" Daniel tried to explain before Tom cut him off.
"Yes you are! We were fine.. Until those fucking paps got a snap of us together.. Do you know how that feels? That your own boyfriend is embarrassed of you?" His voice was beginning to crack and he didn't want Daniel to hear him cry so he quickly hung up.
A couple minutes pass and Toms phone beeped. He already knew who could be texting him.
Text Message: Dan.
Why did you hang up.
I'm not embarrassed of you.
I love you. Plz call me back.
Tom let out a low sigh, he read the message over and over again. His thumbs did a little dance over his key board before replying.
Text message: No. It's the same argument over and over with us. I'm done waiting for you, Dan. If you want to be with me, than grow up and be with me.
Daniel didn't want to let Tom go, but he couldn't help but fear what others would think about their relationship. He hadn't fully come out to his fans and the media. It scared him to know that Tom would move on, so he did what he thought was right. He caught the first flight out to LA.
*******************
It had been two days since Tom had heard from Daniel, he thought it was odd that he never texted him back. Tom was checking his phone every 10 minutes, but he refused to text Dan.
Just when he had given up hope, he heard a knock on his door.
He wasn't expecting company, so he walked over to his door and slowly opened it.
"Can I come home?" Daniel asked very sweetly.
Tom grabbed him by his waist and pulled him in for a long kiss.
"God. I. Missed. You" Tom muttered between kisses.
"Mmm, you too Hun. Sorry I didn't text you, I wanted to surprise you." Daniel said while putting his suitcase down.
"So? Are you back for good?" Tom so badly wanted to know.
"I'm here for as long as you want me to be here." Daniel gave his usual timid smile.
"So, forever than?" Tom grabbed his arm and started to pull him towards the bedroom.
"Where are we going?" Dan wasn't expecting such forcefulness.
"Bedroom. Now." Toms voice was seductive and demanding.
