I'll Be Better For You [Montyx Sun/Moon]

Chapter 20 Cuddling

It was the late afternoon, Sun had been wanting for the older all day. They should go back to work has soon has they could because they felt like they were going insane in the confiment of their house. They knew exactly what was gonna happen, Monty was gonna show up whit food and they would watch that movie Sun has been meaning to watch. It filled the daycare attendant whit the kind of excitement they only had when they went on dates. Technically, this was a date. Well at least for them. When they heard the door knock, they jumped and ran there, before taking a quick stop, taking a heavy breath, shaking their hands trying to shake off their nervousness. The younger looked out of the peephole, before opening the door, being greater whit the other. They wanted to swing themselves into their arms, but he was holding their food.

Monty: Hey, you said sushi right?

Sun: Mhm!

Monty: Well, I didn't know what you'd like so I got a bit of everything, is that fine?

Sun: Perfect!- they said the other entering, before going into the living room, the younger closed the door and followed them.

Monty: So that's the movie? Seams cool.- they pointed out, putting the three boxes down, then taking out a diet coke and a beer can- You don't mind I drink a beer do you?

Sun: Not at all...- the taller replied, before going into the kitchen grabbing plates, cups and their chopsticks. When they were back, the other had gotten rid of their leather jacket a boots, they sat on the couch, beer can half empty and laying back- Rough day at work?- they asked putting down what they brought, before seating besides them.

Monty: Yup.- he sighed before grabbing the can again and drinking from it, Sun laying the plates in front of him, before starting to put things in the plates.

Sun: What happened?

Monty: A parent... More like a Karen...

Sun: Oh fuck, how bad was it?- the older chuckled.

Monty: I didn't take you for one to curse.

Sun: Well not at work but yeah.- the other chuckled again.

Monty: Sorry, sorry, not that funny. It was more of a pain in the ass rather then anything major. Still I rather they were agressive so they could be kicked out.

Sun: Are you feeling better now?- they asked, putting the little soy sauce container in the plate, handing it to the smaller, who took it happily.

Monty: Yeah... Specially whit such good company and food.- they let out downing the rest of the beer and putting the empty can on the coffee table- Uhm... I don't know how to use chopsticks.

Sun: Ups sorry, let me just- they said getting up walking into their bedroom, taking out of a box the small elastics that they used to make bracelets whit the kids, then they went back to the older. They sat besides them, taking the chopsticks and wrapping the rubber band around them a couple of times before handing it back.

Monty: Wow. That's nice, thank you.- they let out giving them a warm smile, sun sat criss crossed, plate on one hand and in the other the chopsticks, they both ate.

Sun: Thanks for everything you do for us. Really... Thank you.

Monty: Thank you for being my friends. Sometimes I feel like I'm third wheeling to much whit the girls so, having someone I can hang out besides them feels real nice.- the younger smiled like a fool.

Sun: Also thanks for that stuff...

Monty: What stuff?

Sun:The things you suggested.

Monty: Oh that stuff. Oh yeah no problem. I just suggested what it felt natural... Wait, you fowled through?- they asked looking at the younger who looked away and shrug their arms.

Sun: Hm, me? I don't know. Why would you want to know?- they said more confident, taking a pice of sashimi in their mouth, the burning red face giving away their bluff. The other got their face redder, before fumbling.

Monty: I-I wouldn't w-want to know! Hey that's your personal thing, I don't wanna hear. Rude of me to ask. I don't even know why I would do that! I'm sorry!- the other chuckled.

Sun: It's fine Monty.- they let out now looking at them- I know you wanted to know cuz of Moony.

Monty: Y-yeah that... Not cuz I'd like to date you- they muttered, Sun felt their cheeks go hotter, they felt butterfly's in their stomach and a bit lightheaded.

Sun: But still I rather keep it private... Next time you and Moon hang out, maybe you'll know your answer.

Monty: Yeah.

They finished dinner, watching the movie together. At the beginning they were both in opposite sides of the couch, but slowly the younger moved closer and closer. First resting their hand over theirs, before seating really close to them, to resting their head on the older's shoulder.

Monty: If you're that sleepy you could lay down and rest your head in my lap.- the younger sighed, moving away before laying on their lap.

Why did he not need any of their sleeping meds around Monty? They didn't know but honestly it wasn't that important. They were close to their crush, their heart beat faster, Sun could no longer focus on the movie, only on their friend. How just being friends hurt them. They wanted more. So much more. They wanted to open up to Monty, but they were unsure of how it would come off has. First time in a while he cared about being proceved by someone. Suddenly they felt the other's touch, the bassist petting them in the arm. How did the touch of a cold blooded individual felt warm and comforting, they would never know. They just knew it felt good, even if they first had flinched when they felt them.

Monty: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Sun: You aren't... I'm just not used to it.- the older kept on touching them, Sun melted at the purely platonic touch. They took a deep breath before speaking- This feels nice... I missed being touched.

Monty: Really? I thought you hated the idea of it.

Sun: I don't... I'm just so touch deprived... Dam Moon really knew what they were doing seating us up in this d- hang out session.- they quickly caught up to it, not wanting to let more then they were comfortable whit.

Nice save.

Monty: Well if you never need to be touched or held, I'm here.- the younger turned, looking up, seeing the other's face, no longer focused on the screen.

Sun: Really?

Monty: Yeah...

Sun: Could we hug?... Like a really long hug?

Monty: Sure.- they let out, Sun sat up, still on their lap, the older opened their arms, the daycare attendant hugging them tightly, their head on his shoulder, the smaller hugging back tightly.

Sun: I-I'm not being to needy am I?- they suddenly asked anxiously.

Monty: Nope.- they said rubbing their back- Besides, I missed cuddling whit someone since the break up... No shade to Moon, we've done diffent phisical stuff that I find equally fulfilling.

How perfect, they love us equally... Only if you took a step towards getting whit them.

Sun: Shut up, moon.- they whispered had they closed their eyes, drifting off to sleep.

End chapter.
