The Actor and The Athlete [A Kit Connor FanFic]

Chapter 13

The pair arrived back at Will's apartment at around 1:30am, Ali was supposed to be up at 6am but for some reason she didn't seem as tired now. She sat down on the couch and Kit sat right next to her, she turned on the TV and one of her favourite films Back to the Future was on, it was only about 20 minutes in so she asked Kit if he wanted to watch it with her, realising that he was going to be sleeping in there anyway so he didn't really have a choice.

'Yeah sure we can do but are you sure you don't want to go to bed' Kit asked her as he stood up to go make them both a cup of tea. 'No I'm okay' she said as she walked into the spare room to get changed into her pyjamas, she never really wore nice pyjamas just an old, oversized T-shirt she was sure was Wills and a pair of shorts, Kit had seen her in this ensemble for the past two night but she didn't care she wanted to feel comfortable. She walked back into the living room and plopped down on the couch and continued to watch the film as Kit was still in the kitchen. 

He walked in with two cups of tea, putting them down on the coffee table and sitting right next to Ali. They switched off the main light so the only light that filled the room was the fairy lights that Will had hung. Ali grabbed a blanket and placed it over them both, sitting with her knees tucked up to her chest. They sat like that, peacefully, for a couple of minutes until Kit raised one of his arms up and put it round the back of Ali, gently resting it on the back of the couch. Ali instinctively lay her head down on his shoulder pulling the blanket further up them and getting comfy. They sat there in perfect silence just watching the film and drinking their tea, tiredness slowly creeping up on them. Ali yawned, her whole body shaking as she did,

'Hey if you're tired go to bed I know you're going to be up early anyway, better than falling asleep on this awful couch. Trust me I've slept on here for 2 nights now and I think my back is about to give in' Kit said laughing whilst running a hand through his hair.

Ali nodded; her eyes were heavy 'you don't have to sleep on there tonight if you don't want too. The bed is big enough in the spare room for both of us, that's as long as you want to it's okay if you don't want too' Ali started rambling, fear creeping up her throat, worried she might be being too forward asking him to sleep in the same bed as her.

'I think I'll take you up on that offer actually, I really need a good night's sleep' Kit said as he slowly stood up grabbing onto her hand to drag her up too. Their eyes met in the same way they had done several other times that night however this time felt different there was an air of tension, both of them could feel it. Kit moved his hand up to Ali's face, gently pushing his hand through her hair placing his hand onto the side of her neck

'Can I kiss you, Alexandra?' he whispered softly not breaking eye contact with her

'Please' Ali answered, matching the same tone as Kit

They both leaned forward and as their lips touched it was like the world fell silent around them, it was soft and sweet and neither of them wanted it to end. They had probably been kissing for around a minute; Ali's hands had found their way around Kits neck and were lightly pushed into his hair.

All of a sudden, they heard keys jingling in the door and they broke apart quickly as the front door sung over revealing a very drunk Will.

'Oh my god, you're both still up I thought you would both be asleep by now!' Will shouted, not realising that it was nearly 2:30 in the morning.

Ali ran over to him just as he was about to slump down onto the floor, she grabbed him 'come on Will, let's get you into bed you don't want to sleep on the floor do you' she led him into the bedroom, practically throwing him onto the bed. He crawled under the covers with his clothes still on and closed his eyes. Ali shut off his bedside light and started walking out of the room until Will said

 'Ali, I hope you kissed Kit tonight, he defiantly deserves it for getting us those VIP tickets'. 

Ali blushed remembering the kiss that had happened just 5 minutes ago, 'goodnight, William and please try not to throw up on the carpet' she smiled lightly as she closed his bedroom door. She walked into the living room to see Kit still stood there awkwardly, 'are you coming to bed then?' Ali asked softly, grabbing his hand, and leading him into the spare room.

They climbed into bed, as Kit lay down, he lifted his arm up so Ali could cuddle into him, he wrapped his arms around her with her head falling lightly onto his chest. She could hear his heart beating loudly, she wondered whether she was the cause of this.

'Night Alexandra, I hope you enjoyed tonight as much as I did' Kit said as he lightly stroked the side of her arm

'Of course, I did, I just want to say thank you again for everything you've done for me today. I really appreciate it' she lifted her head up so she could smile at Kit one last time before they fell asleep. 

Ali found the courage to lean forward and peck Kit on the lips, he smiled at her forwardness, she then lay her head back down on his chest and closed her eyes, feeling extremely content with how the night had ended.
