DAY 08

The wind rustled the curtains and grazed the sleeping male's skin, causing him to shudder in his slumber. He could hear the birds cheeping hinting that it was dawn. Stretching his arm, he pats the space beside him only to find it empty he could have sworn that he fell asleep with the other beside him.

Whining slightly he got up with a huff stomping stubbornly to look for the younger male. He gradually made his way to the kitchen only to see the broad muscular back of the younger, who seemed to be talking on the phone while making breakfast. He wrapped his long slender arms around the male's waist and rest his head on his back.

The younger sighed as he ended the call with a small smile playing on his lips when he felt the warmth of the other on his bare skin. "Who were you talking to?" the elder questioned as he stole a beacon from the plate.

"I was talking to Iggy," Declan replied as he shared the meal evenly and set it on the table. A scowl made its way to Eden's feature at the unknown name "Whose that?" the elder inquired with a hit of jealousy on the tip of his tongue, which did not go unnoticed by the younger. "Ah, she an ex," the younger said lying right through his teeth trying to test the waters.

"I never knew you dated anyone!" he gritted his teeth and gave a tight-lipped smile and subtle but not-so-subtle eye-roll. "You should meet her," "She is so cool you'd like her," Declan rambled on while glancing at a fuming and glaring Eden from time to time.

He smirked internally when he saw the elder angrily jab the fork into the poor pancake who just had to endure the torture. "I wonder if we should get back together," Declan mumbled, making a thinking face; he was startled when Eden suddenly slammed his hands on the table proclaiming that he no longer felt hungry as he left the table mumbling profanities.

Declan held back his laughter because the other just looked soo adorable... he just wanted to squish his cheeks and kiss the hell out of him. Eden had his cheeks puffed out, lips pouty, the tip of his nose slightly red, and his body slightly trembling.

Declan was a little taken aback when he heard little sniffles from the retreating male. He panicked and rushed after the male, Eden barely got the chance to shut the door when Declan's hands were stopping him. Both males' eyes met one with guilt and the other with gloom.

Eden didn't even know why he was crying and why the thought of the younger being with someone else, someone who isn't him, torments him so much. It shatters him to pieces, his heart hurts, and he might have an idea why, but he is so scared to acknowledge it. He could feel his heart racing, his breath quickening, and a pounding in his head and chest when he is near.

When Declan reached up and cupped his face he felt electricity shoot through his body, and shivers ran down his spine; now he was very petrified; he loved but hated this feeling. He quickly backed away from the younger's touch, trying to ignore the hurt expression the other displayed. "I-I think you should go and give her back a call," he stuttered and tried to ignore the crack in his voice. He didn't want the younger to go back to her, he wanted him to stay with him, but he won't ever voice it out.

Declan watched as the smaller male fidgetted in his spot, picking away at his skin as he uttered those words. "Do you truly want me to go to her?" he whispered as he took slow steps toward the male, who backed away with each step he took. The elder hesitantly nodded at his question while avoiding eye contact Declan chucked at the male.

"I know your lying-"

"I'm not!" Eden protested with a squeak as Declan trapped him between his arms and the closet leaving no space between them. Eden could feel the heat rising to his cheeks and a flutter in his stomach at the closeness of their body.

"Look into my eyes while you speak!" Declan demanded with a smirk lingering on his lips at the blushing male. "I-I" Eden stuttered while trying to maintain eye contact, his eyes locked with the other when the majestic chuckle slipped from his lips.

"You can't even look at me while speaking yet you want me to believe you" the male chortled even louder. Declan shuffled closer to the other face and bent down so that their face could be on the same level.

"Be mine," the male finally breathes out. It has been bugging him for so long, he was so deeply in love with the other that it hurts, he just could take it anymore he just needed to get this off his chest. His eyes met the shocking eyes of Eden who looked like a dear caught in a red light.

Declan realized that he might not receive an answer so he went to his last resort giving the other some time. " I'll give you till tomorrow, please don't reject me" he shoved his head in the other's neck sounding vulnerable as the shaky breath escape his lips. Trying to take in as much of the male as possible because this may be the last time the elder ever allows him to touch him.

He placed a feather-like kiss on the flustered male's neck before walking away leaving him with a racing heart and a messed-up mind.
