Stuck with him (presmax)

So in love with you

The unfamiliar feeling of concern washes over me. It's been three hours and nobody has seen Preston, its ridiculous that I'm worried. When did I ever start caring about that drama queen?
Granted he seemed to be weary being partnered up with nerf earlier, who wouldn't be, the guys a menace!
I don't care either way, I'm just trying to enjoy my Saturday despite having to take care of the stupid egg.
I sneak away from Nikki. I need somewhere quiet and away from everyone's insanity over this shit.
I make my way from the back of the camp to the building, and look up as I enter the cabin. The attic, perfect, no one's bound to be up there! I get a stick to reach the attic door handle and somehow pull the stairs down.
I walk up and...god fucking damn it, someone's already up here. But I look closer and notice, it's Preston. Jesus Christ that's where he's been! Wait...is he...crying? I see the skinny boy whimpering in the corner, with a few bruises scattered on his arms and a black eye. He immediately looks up at me with alarm and stutters out. "Max!! Holy shit!! I-i uh— what are you doing here?" His face was clearly red from being seen crying, and he quickly wiped his tears away. Well this was awkward, I couldn't help but pity the pathetic look of the kid. Nerf must've really got to him. I walk over to him and toss him a cold can of coke I stole from the fridge. Preston looks up at me confused and I face palm "it's for your eye, idiot"
I see the boy's face light up ever so slightly as he thanked me quietly.
I sit down by him, and he looks over at me. I want to kiss this idiot. I hate that I want to, I refuse to believe I love him.
He was so beautiful, even when he cried.
"Max"
"Mm?"
"Thank you" preston bows and looks back up at me smiling.
I  can't believe this dramatic guy, I want to kiss him so bad.
