Influenced (A Keveridge fanfiction) *EDITING*

13

(Kier's POV)
I sat cross legged on my bedroom floor, scrolling through Instagram and waiting on Laurence's arrival. I had no idea if he was coming, but I didn't want to annoy him again by texting him. You know how Laurence is; he can get so sensitive over absolutely nothing. But despite this, I still went to my contacts and messaged Laurence. You could say I was eager to have him round.

Me: You still up for coming over? X

I regretted being a nag to Laurence, but I didn't want to lose touch with him. Not that I would, I mean, I see him everyday at school!
My phone soon flashed and a message from Laurence came upon the screen.

Laur🐼: 5 mins x

I let out a small squeal of excitement. Laurence hadn't been over in like a month! Not that anything exciting about my house had changed, so I couldn't really show anything new off to him. Unlike Laurence, who would shuffle his posters of his favourite bands around his room every time I visited. Laurence was a funny one when it came to music; he was so into bands like Slipknot and singers like William Control, but also had a soft spot for Demi Lovato. In his defence, I was the one who introduced him to rock, he'd always been one to love pop music. But now (again, thanks to me) he absolutely despised it. Well, expect Demi Lovato.

There was a sudden knock on the door that made me jump, but I smiled when I realised exactly who it was. I heard my mum open the door and greet him with a, "Hello, love! He's just upstairs!" And soon, Laurence's familiar footsteps came up the stairs, and soon he was stood at my door.
"Laurence!" I exclaimed, smiling.
"Kier!" He said in the same tone, but he smiled nervously. Was he nervous about coming back here? He leaned awkwardly against the doorframe, biting his bottom lip and looking nervously round the room.
"You can come in, you know!" I chuckled. Laurence's head instantly snapped back to mine, then he giggled nervously.
"Yeah...sorry..." He muttered, shutting the door.
"You...er...okay?" I asked, slightly concerned.
"Mm..."
Laurence began to look back round the room, trying to act as casual as he could. He didn't move around, only his eyes wandered round the room.
"You looking for something?"
Laurence shook his head slowly before stepping over to me and sitting down beside me on the floor. I must admit, I wasn't expecting such a tense atmosphere as it felt at this moment. I looked up at Laurence and caught him looking thoughtfully at me, then his head awkwardly turned away. Had he been staring at me? This did make my heart flutter a little.

Oh god, Kier, don't even think about it.

I stared up into his chocolate brown eyes and watched as they wandered round the room. His pink lips curved into a smile every so often and then would pierce together. His cheeks seemed to be tinted red like he was blushing, but at what?

Kier, if he catches you, he'll think you're perving on him.

And my thoughts were right. As I hopelessly continued to look at Laurence, his eyes soon wandered back to mine and he raised his eyebrows a little.
"You okay?" He asked me, looking at me curiously.
"I think I should be asking you that, Beveridge." I whispered, giggling breathlessly. Laurence did the same and nodded in agreement.
"Can I...ask you something else? A serious question?" Laurence asked.
I nodded. "Go ahead."
Laurence smirked slightly and raised his eyebrows bit before speaking. "Has anyone ever told you you're perfect?"
I gasped and felt my heart begin to race. But before I could say anything, I could feel Laurence lean close to me and his lips pressed against mine.

Oh my god, was this real? Goddamit, Kier, this is no time to fangirl!

I returned the kiss and felt Laurence smile against my lips. He slid his arms around my waist as we pulled away and smirked at me.
"Laurence..." I whispered, smiling at the boy.
"To answer my own question, you're perfect to me..."
Laurence kissed my forehead and pressed his against mine.
"Kier...?"
"Mm?"
"I have yet another question to ask you!"
I giggled at the boy. "You're full of questions tonight, Beveridge!"
Laurence nodded and giggled. "But I need to ask you this one!"
"Go on then!"
Laurence interlocked his hands with mine before speaking. "I've wanted to know this for a while, Kier. So I'm asking you now...will you...be my boyfriend?"
At first I didn't answer the boy's question, I simply smirked, making Laurence look a little confused.
"Laurence Beveridge..." I began, making Laurence giggle and roll his eyes.
"Just answer my question, you idiot!" He chuckled.
I nodded and smiled at the boy. "I'd love to."

(A/N: Woohoo, a cute Keveridge chapter at last! Thought I'd write it due to my lack of updates recently...:3
For everyone that's a little confused about Laurence's and Kier's actions and why everything is so sudden, all will be revealed in a few chapters time, but I'll give you a hint; maybe Kier has fallen into Laurence's trap... -Chloe x)
