Getting stuck in a room with the person he dislikes for quarantine was the last thing on Eden's bucket list. It's just ten days; What could go wrong?

Let me tell you, it was the third day of the quarantine. The two boys have been avoiding each other to no end. Things became very awkward after yesterday's incident; worst of all, it was just the two of them in the apartment. So how long can they keep this little game up?
After yesterday, Declan was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. He wanted to clear the air so that the awkward tension between them could dissipate, but it seemed as if Eden had other plans. Getting frustrated and bored, he went to the kitchen for some snacks and planned to watch some K-dramas.
After retrieving the snacks from the cupboard, Declan made his way to the small living room only to see Eden there watching the proposal (A/N old movie, but its elite) with a sign: he sat down beside the elder with the snack bowl between them, knowing that the elder would probably run away if he sat too close.

It had been 50 minutes since Declan had been seated on the couch beside him, and Eden could see him looking at him through his peripheral vision. He didn't mind that the younger male was in the same room as him, but he was a little upset that he didn't even try to talk to him. But, even if he wanted to, he can't blame the younger male because he initiated the kiss and avoided the younger male in the first place.
He knew it was his fault. But he couldn't bring himself to face the younger male. Because one, he was older than him; two he was too embarrassed to bring it up; three he wasn't supposed to kiss the younger male; and four, he wasn't supposed to like it.
The two sat there in total silence, only the voices coming from the screen could be heard. Declan wanted to break the awkward silence, but he did not know how he could see the elder fidgeting in his seat and taking small glances at him.
Eden heard the younger male call his name, to which he had to suppress a whimper at how his name rolled off the younger male's tongue. Getting frustrated because the male refused to look at and answer him the last straw was when the small male got up from the couch, yet again ignoring the calls of his name as he made his way to his room. Declan angrily got up from the couch, gripping the elder's arm a little too harshly, causing the male to hiss from the pain of the deadly grip on his forearm.
"Goddammit, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Declan retorted "why are you ignoring me? is it about that stupid kiss?" he said angrily as he squeezed the male's arm, causing him to whimper.
"Answer me dammit," he said a little too harshly though his voice was calm. Eden just stared at the angry male, not knowing what to do or say. He felt stuck. He wanted to leave, but he didn't. Confusing right?
With his head hung low, he once again tried to remove his hand from the younger male's deadly grip. "Look, I'm sorry, just yell at me, hit me. Just don't ignore me" he said, as he took a deep breath before he continued. "But you know what, I'll stay away," Declan said softly, tired from all the yelling, "And if you're ready to talk, you know where to find me," he said as he let go of the elder, and went to his room without a response.
"Gosh, he didn't have to grab me so hard," he mumbled.
~Eden's Perspective~
It was 9:30 in the night, and Declan hadn't talked or looked at me since our little fiesta in the afternoon. I won't lie, but I was a little sad and disappointed. He hadn't even left his room. Getting extremely frustrated, I made my way to the kitchen to make some popcorn so we could have a movie night so that I could see him.

(The setup)
I finished setting up and made my way to Declan's door. Taking a deep breath and gathering all the courage in the world, I knocked on the door, but I wasn't surprised by the fact that I didn't get a reply.
"You said you'd talk to me when I come looking for you," I said, loud enough for him to hear but not so loud that the neighbors were disturbed. A sigh could be heard on the other side of the door as it slowly creaked open by Declan, who wasn't amused by my sudden disturbance. I smiled shyly at him when I looked at his annoyed expression.
"What do you want?" he said, already looking very impatient. "Well, I was wondering if you wanted to watch a movie with me," I asked in a low voice. He looked like he was contemplating whether or not he should come with me with a deflating sigh he nodded.
I watched him slowly walk to the living area only to come back with a confused look on his face. "Are you not coming?" he asked as he arched his perfectly shaped eyebrow. "We're watching the movie in my room" he looked at me a little unsure but agreed nonetheless.

Both Eden and Declan lay under the fort watching (a movie of your choice) laughing and giggling together, they didn't even realize when they fell asleep in each other's arms.
