My Youth is Yours (RPDR Multiship)

Forty-Five

Orion's POV:
----

I woke up to the sound of knocking on the door to the room, groaning softly. It was too early. I reluctantly pulled myself out of Jorgeous' arms, stumbling over to the door and opening it. "What...?"

"...Hey." Alyssa said quietly, and I looked up to find her looking nervous. I was confused for a second, about to ask what was wrong until I remembered.

It had been a year.

I sighed, leaning against the doorway. "Hey..."

We were silent for a moment, but I could tell we were both thinking the same thing. I took a shaky breath, holding my arms out.

Alyssa immediately pulled me into a tight embrace. I leaned into it, resting my head against her shoulder. "I'm okay, 'Lyssa..."

"I know." She said quietly, her hold tightening. "But I just want to make sure you're gonna be fine today. I have to go shoot another music video and don't want anything happening..."

"I'm okay, I promise." I told her, pulling away to find her still looking nervous. I couldn't blame her. What happened still scared her too.

"I know you are, but I still asked Vanjie to keep an eye out on you today." She said, her expression still not changing. "She's technically supposed to be making sure no one suspicious comes around Bosco while she's running around today but still."

"I have Jorgeous too, I'll be okay." I wasn't going to do something stupid. In fact I was going to do anything that would distract me from what today was. If it was staying inside and cuddling all day or braving the cold to enjoy the little bit of snow left, I'd do it.

Alyssa looked unsure but nodded, pulling me in for another hug when she heard Daya calling for her. "Just text me if you need me. I'll try to answer when I can."

"Don't worry too much, just go have fun." I said, squeezing her tightly before I pulled away. "I promise that everything will be fine."

Alyssa took a deep breath. "...I'm proud of you." She said quietly. "For getting to where you are now."

I smiled. It did mean a lot to hear that from her. "Thank you, I am too."

I wished her good luck with their new music video, closing the door and turning around. I jumped back and almost screamed, greeted by Jorgeous standing right behind me with a blanket draped over her shoulders.

She yawned, shivering as she laid her head against my chest. "It's cold. Too cold." She mumbled, trying to hold onto the blanket and pull herself up into my arms at the same time.

I picked her up and let her snuggle close, taking her back to bed. I didn't know if she knew what today was, but based on how she knew almost everything before it even happens I wouldn't be surprised if she did.

Jorgeous yawned after I laid back down with her, shivering as she curled up closer against me. "Is everything okay?" She asked, her arms wrapping around my neck.

"Everything is fine." I told her, kissing her forehead as I rubbed her side. Maybe she really didn't know what today was. And I wasn't going to tell her if I didn't have to.

But of course I didn't have to tell her. "I know, Orion." She said quietly, her lips pressing against my cheek. "I've had the same dream too many times to not know it's been a year."

I stiffened up, pulling her closer. "O-Oh..." I said softly, staring up at the ceiling.

Jorgeous raised her head, laying a hand on my cheek. "I've seen it all." She said, keeping her voice quiet. "I don't know how. But I have. I kind of wish I haven't seen it, but maybe there's a reason I did."
