Please Don't Bite

Twenty-Seven

Orion's POV:
----

While not fully healed just yet, I was finally released from the hospital and able to return to campus. I huffed when Jorgeous didn't let me carry my bag or Jazzy's carrier, slowly walking up the stairs beside her. "Babe I can-"

"No." Jorgeous huffed, determined to carry my stuff and hers and still help me up the stairs. "The doctor said no heavy lifting. You technically aren't even supposed to be walking up any stairs but I'm too small to carry you."

"That's why I'm here." Daya said as she met us halfway down the stairs, Willow following behind her. I watched as Willow took Jazzy's carrier and one of the bags, and I looked up at Daya when figuring out what she was doing. "Don't you dare- Daya!"

I immediately stiffened when Daya lifted me up, groaning at her laughing. "This isn't funny- I don't like this-"

"Oh, so Jorgeous can hang all over you and Alyssa can hug you but I can't carry you when you're hurt?" Daya tried to sound offended as she followed Jorgeous and Willow up the stairs. "That hurts."

"Calm down, baby. I asked her to carry you." Jorgeous looked back at us, giving me her sweetest smile. "I didn't want you to risk hurting yourself."

If it was her idea, then I guess I could deal with it. I adjusted my legs over Daya's arm and sighed, letting her carry me the rest of the way up the stairs.

Jorgeous reached up to grab the keys from the pocket of my sweater, unlocking the door to my room and stopping when she stepped inside. "...Why is my stuff in here? What did you guys do?"

"Alyssa switched rooms with you." Willow smiled and carried Jazzy into the room, opening the carrier and taking him out so she could play with him. "So you can be closer to Orion."

I looked around the room, letting Daya place me down on my bed. I watched Willow place Jazzy on top of the new cat tree, shaking my head a little. "You guys didn't have to do all this..."

"But we wanted to." Daya sat beside me, holding a hand out. "We thought we weren't going to have you anymore, let us love on you a little."

I glanced down at her hand, hesitantly taking it. Jorgeous giggled and pushed past Daya, pressing a quick kiss to my lips. "I'm going to go see Deja real quick. Okay?"

"If Alyssa's there, tell her I wanna see her." I leaned back against the pillows, feeling drained just from the little bit of activity. I watched her go and waited until Willow was distracted by playing with Jazzy before looking up at Daya. "I have to tell you what my mom asked..."

Daya raised a brow, looking concerned. "Is it something bad?"

"No, not bad. Just...wasn't expecting it." I looked down to see Bosco's stuffed horse beside me, confused but slowly picking it up and holding it on my lap.

"What is it then?" Daya asked quietly, pulling herself further up on the bed and leaning against the wall.

"...She asked me if I was going to marry Jorgeous." I told her quietly, and Daya almost choked. She coughed and hit her fist against her chest, making Willow look over in concern.

"I'm alright, I'm fine." Daya said and smiled, making Willow nod and go back to playing with Jazzy. She lowered her voice, knowing that if Willow heard she'd tell everyone. "What did you say?-"

"I didn't know what to say-" I ran a hand through my hair. I had hardly been able to think about anything else since she had asked me that. "But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't genuinely considering that now-"

"Oh my God-" Daya's eyes were wide. "Even after only a couple months?-"

"Y-Yeah..." I stuttered and looked down at my hands. "Is that bad? I've just never even considered anything like this before and now it's the only thing I can think about and I don't know how to handle it-"

Daya was quiet, watching Willow. "I mean, you're both adults, young, but still adults. You can make your own decisions. You think you really love her that much?"

"I love her more than anything, Daya." I sighed and gripped the stuffed animal in my good arm. "And everything that's happened lately kinda makes me realize that y'know...life is short. Might as well enjoy it."

Daya smiled, trying not to laugh. "That was the most cliche thing you've ever said."

"Oh shut up-" I threw the stuffed animal at her, making her laugh before looking up when Jorgeous came back.

"Alyssa's gonna come see you when she's out of class." She smiled and crawled up onto my lap, being careful to lay her head on the side of my chest that didn't hurt. At this point, I'm surprised I didn't have a permanent indent in the size of her right there.

I smiled, laying my arm over her waist and kissing her forehead. "Good. We need to properly thank her."

Daya watched us before giving me a sly smile. She stood up from the bed and held a hand out for Willow. "Come on, baby. Let's give them some privacy."

Willow gave Jazzy a kiss on his head before taking Daya's hand, following her out the door and closing it behind them. Jorgeous immediately snuggled closer when they were gone, laying her hand on my cheek.

"You alright?" She tilted her head, her eyes seeming to gaze right into my soul.

I nodded, smiling and pulling her in for a kiss. "I'm perfect. Better than I've been in a while."

Camden's POV:
----

I met Angie in the campus cafe after class, smiling when seeing her sitting in the same spot where we had our first kiss. I walked over, dropping my bag and wrapping my arms around her from behind. "Hi."

Angie jumped, immediately closing her laptop. "There you are, sugarcube." She smiled and turned around, cupping my face in her hands and covering my face in kisses. I squeaked, feeling my cheeks heating up. "Angie-"

She giggled softly and pulled away. I took the seat beside her, glancing at her laptop suspiciously. "...What are you hiding?"

"Nothing-" Angie was quick to answer, tapping her nails against the top of it. "I was just working on an assignment."

I didn't believe her. I narrowed my eyes, crossing my arms and leaning back. "What are you hiding from me, Angie?"

Angie hesitated before taking a breath, opening her laptop again. "You were talking about how you were going to go home for the summer. So..." She pushed her laptop towards me.

I looked at the screen, eyes widening. "You...bought a plane ticket to come with me?"

Angie smiled a little, rubbing her arm. "You met my family and came to my hometown. It's only fair I do the same for you."

I smiled before throwing myself into her arms, wrapping mine around her neck. That was better than anything I could've suspected. I kissed her cheek and rested my forehead against hers, giggling softly. "You're really going to come home with me?"

"Of course." Angie smiled, pulling me into her lap. I felt her arms wrap around my waist, then her lips brushing against mine. "I love you so much, sugar. I wasn't going to let us be apart that long this summer."

I beamed, tightening our embrace and kissing her lips fully. Angie made everything feel perfect. Us together felt perfect.
