Part 5: heart racing idiot

After the disappointing walk...

     We ended up walking around the park looking at all the little critters and just enjoying the scenery. The only downside to this whole experience was the fact that they wouldn't be any more than friends. This hurt Albert deeply, though he wanted to believe his feeling were plainly platonic, he couldn't ignore the obvious signs.

He had feelings for Denis. The whole time around the park he forced himself to put on a fake smile and joke around. Though he was sad that his feelings towards the other would never be reciprocated, he enjoyed his company nonetheless.

"That was fun," Denis said as he took a seat on the sofa in the living room. Albert followed his lead and sat next to him. He grabbed the remote and turned the channel onto Netflix. "Want to watch a horror movie?" "Sure." Albert scrolled through the movies before settling on IT.

As the movie went on, Albert couldn't help but sneak a few glimpses at Denis. He was so fixated on the movie he didn't even notice. Albert on the other hand couldn't keep his eyes on the film. Every time something would pop up on the screen Denis would flinch, which Albert found rather cute.

Albert decided to take a chance, he scooted ever so slightly toward the brunette and laid his head on Denis's shoulder. There was a moment when the two didn't say anything. Denis was surprised by this sudden interaction but played it off.

He chuckled quietly to himself before running his fingers through the strands of Albert's chocolate hair. His hair was way softer than he expected, it was like running his fingers along a soft stuffed animal. He admired how precious Albert was, it was like cuddling up with a puppy.

Albert could barely contain himself, his heartbeat was accelerating at an alarming pace. They ended up making it through the long film not saying a word, but just enjoying one another's company. By this time it was late, the sun had gone down and the moon had arisen.

As the credits rolled Denis shifted a bit in a failed attempt to create some space between their bodies. "Albert?" He whispered, only to get no answer from the other brunette. Denis figured he must have fallen asleep some time ago.

He struggled to inch away from the sleeping boy so that he could make it to his room. But the sleeping Albert was being rather stubborn. Once he got a good distance away and figured that he was in the clear he began slowly moving away, trying his hardest not to wake him.

There was a small groan that came from the sleeping Albert. He shifted from his spot and unintentionally wrapped his arms around Denis's waist, forcing him into a laying position with Albert on top of him. Denis sighed in defeat as he saw no real way of getting out of the situation he found himself in.

He patted Alberts's head, twirling his fingers in between the individual strands of hair. Why was he being so cute? Denis thought, he caught a glimpse of Alberts's priceless sleeping face before he buried his head in Denis's chest.

He leaned closer to Albert's ear and whispered "In the end, I ended up falling for you." Before placing a gentle kiss on the top of his head.
