Felix's POV
I awoke in the morning, a soft smile on my face. I blinked open my eyes and looked around. Ryan wasn't here. Hm. That explains why I was colder than usual. I sighed and hugged a pillow to my chest. It was the pillow Ryan slept with. It still had his scent on it. I smiled and drew in a deep breath, holding it for a moment, taking in his scent before slowly releasing my breath. I looked up and smiled when I saw Ryan come out of the bathroom. He had taken a shower and had changed. He looked over at me and smiled. He moved over to me and sat down on the bed. He started to stroke my hair. I leaned my head into his touch.

"Good morning my love. How did you sleep?" Ryan asked.

"Great." I murmured. I sighed softly as he ruffled my hair.

"Good. Glad to hear it babe." He said. He looked around before staring down at me. "What would you like to do today?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know." I said. I shifted so I was closer to him. I rested my head on his lap, wrapping my arms around him lightly. He slowly ran his hand along my back." We could go for a walk." I suggested. "There's a place around here with hills and it's all forest like, but it's supposed to be beautiful." I said.

"Okay. We can do that." He said. He ruffled my hair again." But, you need to get dressed before we do anything." Ryan murmured. I let out a groan.

"I don't want to let you go yet. I'm comfortable." I groaned. He laughed and shifted, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me up to his chest. He kissed the top of my head. I nestled against his chest, a small smile on my face. He was so comfortable. I nuzzled my head deeper into his chest, listening to the soothing rhythmic beat of his heart. I tightened my arms around him. After a minute or so, Ryan gently pulled me away.

"Okay baby. Go get ready." He said. I let out a groan, yet I got to my feet. I went over to my suitcase and grabbed a pair of clean clothes. I made my way into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. After a bit, I got out, freshly cleaned and changed into shorts and a tank top, and looked around for Ryan. I spotted him out on the balcony. He was bent over slightly, resting his arms on the railing. I smiled and walked over to him slowly. I went outside, gazing out at the sky as I draped my arms around his waist from behind. Ryan flinched, but relaxed after a few moments. I rested my chin on his shoulder. We just stayed there in silence for a while. We were both just staring out at the sky and the clear ocean.

"It's beautiful here." I murmured after a while. Ryan nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. But it's not like looking into your eyes and seeing that smile of yours. That there is true beauty." Ryan whispered. I felt my smile widen at his words. I nuzzled my face into his shoulder.

"Thank you Ry." I whispered. I lifted my head and kissed his shoulder before pulling away slightly. Ryan turned around to face me and smiled.

"You're welcome babe. Now, you ready to go for that walk?" He asked. I nodded. I slipped my hand in Ryan's and we walked out of the room together. He led me down the hallway, halting us once we reached the elevator. It opened a few seconds later. We stepped in and noticed there were three girls in there as well. We stayed near the empty corner. A moment later, one of the girls spoke up. She had long brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Hey, aren't you the famous Pewdiepie?" She asked. I looked over at them and nodded after a moment.

"I am." I murmured. I saw the two other girls smiling widely. However, the one with the long brown hair was looking over at Ryan. I shifted my gaze down to him, noticing how uncomfortable he seemed.

"And who is your friend here?" She asked. I gazed at Ryan for a few seconds.

"I-I'm Cry." He whispered, his voice shaking a bit. Oh yeah...Nobody else had seen his face besides me and his friends and family. Oh Ryan, you could have just lied for your sake. The brown haired girl smiled.

"Cry! I'm honestly your biggest fan." She said. She advanced towards Ryan, making him tense up. Once she got near him, she shoved me aside and Ryan backed up until he was against the wall. She pinned him there, resting her hands on his chest. He looked away." Tell me Cry. Have you ever kissed a fan before?" She purred, staring at him, running her hands along his chest. He tensed up and his breathing grew a bit faster.

"No." He said, keeping his gaze away from her. She laughed softly.

"Well, I could be your first." She said. She then started kissing his neck. As soon as she did I, he roughly shoved her away and tensed up more, staring at her with a bit of fear. He looked so vulnerable and scared. I narrowed my eyes and moved over to Ryan, standing in front of him protectively. She glared at me as the doors opened. I grabbed Ryan's hand.

"It was nice meeting you too." I said, a hint of anger in my voice. I turned and led Ryan out f the elevator.

"Thanks for the fun Cry!" She called out after us. Ryan hunched in on himself and his grip tightened on my hand. I led us outside before stopping. I looked down at Ryan.

"Are you okay?" I asked, my voice gentle and soft. He nodded, yet he kept his gaze down. He pressed close to me. He turned so he was facing me. He wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him back. I soothingly rubbed his back in small circles as he buried his face in my chest. I shushed him as I felt a tremble pass through his small frame. Why was he shaking like this? "Ryan, baby, what's wrong? Why are you so scared?" I asked. He didn't reply for a while.

"Because I was so uncomfortable around them. Nobody else has ever seen my face, and now they know who I am and...Then she started kissing me and I-I just had this thought that you thought that I enjoyed that. That I actually loved having that more than you." He whispered. I shook my head.

"Ryan, anyone with eyes could see how scared you were. I know you didn't enjoy any of that. And I know how much you love me. And I know you would never cheat on me." I whispered. Ryan nodded and after a moment,pulling away. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "Come on baby." I said. I started walking with him, heading towards the hills. I smiled and kissed his cheek. Ryan rested his head on my shoulder as we walked. I could tell he was still shaken up, but he was calmer now. We stayed silent as we passed through the city and out to the hills. I led him up a path, glancing around. It was beautiful here. There was a forest surrounding this place. Ryan looked around as well, shifting his gaze from my face out to the scenery. It truly was beautiful here. I smiled as we reached the top. I looked to my right and stopped. We could see the city below, but also the ocean that stretched into the horizon.

"It's so beautiful." Ryan whispered in awe. I ruffled his hair before wrapping my arm back around him.

"It sure is Ry." I whispered. I kissed the side of his head. He leaned into my touch and smiled more. After a moment, he gently tugged me and we started walking down the path again. I enjoyed this a lot. I truly did. After a moment, Ryan sighed. He glanced up at me and kissed my cheek softly. I laughed and held him closer to me as we walked down the path. "You're adorable." I whispered. Ryan smiled like he was proud of something, but he didn't say anything. I looked ahead once we reached the bottom of the hill. Ryan let out a breath and smiled. I glanced around and smiled. After a few seconds, we halted.

"There's supposed to be a big party tonight. Everyone is invited. There's supposed to be a firework display at night and dancing and games before then. Feel like going?" I asked. Ryan's gaze lit up.

"Sure. Sounds fun." He said. He pressed closer to me. I smiled and ruffled his hair. I leaned over and kissed the top of his head. I shifted my arm around him so I was holding him closer to me. I looked around and smiled.

"Shall we head back then? Perhaps we could just have fun by ourselves for a while and maybe just cuddle and watch a movie?" I suggested. Ryan smiled more. He loved cuddling. That much was obvious from whenever we did it. He was always so affectionate and he always was happy and relaxed.

"Yeah...I would love to do that." Ryan murmured. He glanced up at me with bright eyes. I held him closer and nodded.

"Alright my love. Come on." I said. He rubbed my side as we walked and rested his head on my shoulder. I gazed at him lovingly. Everything about him was so perfect. From the way he talked to me, to the way he looked, to the way he cared so much about me and his friends. It was honestly a touching sight really. This beautiful, perfect man existed. And he was mine.
