Long Distance | boy x boy

Chapter 3 - Home

My heart is beating in a quick pace, as if I had been running a hundred miles just now. I am holding his hand in full silence as we walk across this unfamiliar, little street. It's a cozy, quite small neighborhood and far from what I expected my boyfriend to live like.

Him, my dad & I were driving by taxi for quite awhile, until father left to a nearby hotel and it was just that gorgeous, tall young man and I. Until now he had been explaining how and why my dear already knew about my arrival.
Turns out him, his family and my dad were in contact for a few days already and I obviously felt a little betrayed at first from nobody telling me about it. But I couldn't stay mad for long. It seems to have been a very stressful and more or less spontaneous decision of dad's to leave the country with me. He just couldnt stand the current situation at 'home' anymore, just like me. Beside that, he got hired for an well-paid job here too!
Apparently he planned to move in a nice apartment near the bigger cities for now and let me live with my boyfriend and his family most of the time.
Talking about him, my boyfriend also told me how happy his parents are about getting to meet their son's boyfriend, and will gladly take care of me.

All this information is so overwhelming, I still can't believe it all... But I am happy, how couldn't I be?
This will be my life now. I'm home.

Soon I hear the excited yelling of an elder woman, embracing me in a heartfel hug. I laugh nervously and glance at my boyfriend, who visibly seems to be kind of embarrassed from his mom's way of greeting me.
"Oh look at you young man, you are ever sweeter than what I imagined my future son-in-law to look like! the lady laughs, cupping my cheeks. "It's an honor to meet you too, ma'am" I giggle with a little sarcastic tone in my voice. I cheekily smile up to my lover, while his mother furiously called her husband and two little children to the front door.

It was a long, cheerful welcoming the whole family gave me and I sure spend a little while getting to know everyone. Though, I was more than glad when my boyfriend finally took me to his room.
He sighs, as I trace my sight along the walls, before staring up to him. Our eyes meet and I automatically smile in disbelief.  "You're really standing in my room now, eh?" he chuckles in nervousity and carefully lays his arms around me.
I lean into his hug, nodding as I slowly breath in. He smells faint and comforting, his arms and his body against mine feels warm. Oh, I wish this moment would never end.

For a long while we stayed like this, though we did sooner or later lay down to cuddle.
"This feels like I'm dreaming..." I whisper, gazing into his chocolate brown eyes. I never understood how everyone made brown eyes seem so unloved, when there are gorgeous ones like my boyfriend's.
"Don't worry, you're not, cutie" he replied with a gentle smile, slowly patting me and letting his fingers stroke through my soft hair.
"I won't wake up tomorrow without you beside me then?" I ask in worry.
"I promise. We will always be together from now on, forever."
I smile at his response, nodding slowly.
Our eyes refused to stop adoring the other's, until his eventually trace their way down to my lips. He gently caresses my cheek with his thumb, wearing an asking expression on his face.

I lick my dry lips in desire, and slowly lean in.
