Choices of Love (MxMxMxBxB)

Chapter 28: Soft violins

:) Tis' a chapter

-----------------------------------

My phone sat heavy in my pocket as I waited outside the park.

He's late. . .Is he late? Or is he hurt? Maybe he's got second thoughts on us dating. . .Maybe he gave in after speaking with Chase. . .

Apparently Chase had 'bumped into' Felix earlier and had a few words with my boyfriend.

I know this because Chase proceeded to scold me over text for 'manipulating Felix out of spite'.

Really I couldn't care less what he thought of me. . .Plenty of much better people have said much worse to me before.

However. . .I was unaware of what he could have potentially said to Felix, That. Had me worried.

I'm not a good person after all. . .I can easily see my actions driving someone sweet away. . .

Sighing, I kicked weakly at a random piece of gravel resting nearby on the sidewalk.

Wouldn't blame him. . .Wish he'd at least send me a goodbye text if he really has decided to end it with m-

''Ash!'' A happy voice called out loudly, Drawing the annoyed attention of passing people towards a messy haired ginger.

My messy haired ginger.

That was the only warning I got before my boy barreled into me, His arms wrapping around me in a painfully crushing hug.

A small sound of pain left me before my ginger seemed to remember my most recent injury that was still tender.

''Oh shoot! I'm so so sorry!'' Felix started to worriedly apologize, Guilt instantly flashing across his always so easy to read face.

I gave him a strained smile, Trying to ease his concern.

''Hey, Was worried for a moment that I somehow got the wrong park'' I tried to joke, Nervously rubbing at the back of my neck with my free hand.

''Sorry about that, I kinda got held back for a long while by Chase and then by my parents 'cause they overheard him talking about you and saying you manipulated me and they were all like 'Oh he's a bad guy and you need to stay away from him! He's going to hurt you!' and all of that'' Felix started to rant before trailing off, His face flushing in embarrassment.

I waited patiently for him to continue.

''Sorry, Didn't mean to just dump all that on you'' He murmured meekly, Starting to follow me as I led him into the park.

Oh. . .But I was enjoying listening. . .

''Your parents are right though, I am a bad guy'' I pointed out, Holding my hand out to him to help him down the grassy slope to the small pond this park had hidden away.

''Yeah well. . .'' Felix started to say, Trailing off briefly as I helped him over some entangled roots.

''You're MY bad guy, So I don't care!'' Felix chirped out so happily, His confident statement making me freeze for a moment.

Oh. . .

My heart hurt a bit at that.

''Well, Um. . .I brought us some food so we can. . .Maybe have a picnic together'' I started to explain quietly as he and I sat down at the edge of the pond.

I could feel Felix staring at me as I opened up the lunch bag containing food that I had brought.

''It's not much. . .Just tomato soup and some grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. . .I tried making something. . .Better, But I'm. . .Apparently not the best at cooking'' I explained quietly as I pulled out two bowls and the thermos that held the soup I made earlier.

Felix was grinning at me as I spoke, His lovely eyes seemingly glittering with excitement.

''I love tomato soup!'' He assured me, Murmuring a quiet 'thanks!' when I handed him the bowl of red juice.

''Careful, It's still pretty hot'' I warned, Handing him a wrapped sandwich as well before pulling out mine.

''Mmm! You're a bad cook? I for one think this tastes great!'' He complimented, His words making my face warm.

Must. . .Must be catching a cold or something. . .

Clearing my throat, I looked away from him, Nervously rubbing at the back of my neck again.

''Thank you. . .That means a lot'' I murmured, Instantly taking a bite of my sandwich before I could say anything embarrassing.

He and I proceeded to eat in silence.

Well. . .As close to silence as Felix can ever come.

He chatted about random things as we ate, I mostly just listened, Adding input every now and then.

It was nice.

Eventually he fell silent. . .I didn't dare say a word when I felt weight lean against me, His head resting on my shoulder.

''Sorry if this date wasn't what you expected. . .Haven't really done this before'' I whispered quietly, A small hum coming from the boy resting on me.

''I haven't done this before either. . .But I liked this date, It was nice'' Felix whispered back, His hand drifting to timidly brush his fingers over the back of my hand.

We both fell back into a content silence after that, Neither of us saying a word. . .Neither of us feeling the need.

The sun was staining the sky with it's falling colors as it set, The buildings all around us shining like stained glass with the reflected light.

''It's getting pretty late'' I murmured quietly, Getting a quiet little sound from Felix.

He had closed his eyes sometime during our content silence, His breathing deepening almost to the point of sleep.

''Yeah. . .Guess we both better head home huh?'' He murmured back, Sound. . .Disappointed.

Swallowing thickly, I looked back up at the colorful sky.

''If you want. . .You could always come home with me'' I offered, Refusing to look at the odd eyed boy as I spoke.

It's fine. I offer for my friends to sleep over all the time. . .It must be perfectly normal to do the same with boyfriends. . .

Felix moved slightly as I more or less held my breath, Waiting for his next move.

Warm, Soft lips gently pressed against my cheek, Surprising me and drawing my attention towards my boyfriend.

Who was beaming with joy.

''Nah, My parents would burst a blood vessel if I did. . .But. . .Would you be willing to walk me home?'' He asked, Sheepishly looking away at the last part.

It's just to make sure he'll be safe. . .

''Of course'' I murmured.
