This Must Be What Love Feels Like [TD Noco]

My reason for living.

Noah kissed Cody's cheek like a hundred times and hugged him as tight as he possibly could.

Cody was feeling a bit annoyed but it could be a lot worse, he thought.

After some time, it was getting late.

"Hmm...it's pretty late, isn't it? Do you want to sleep?" Noah asked Cody.

Cody didn't say anything.

"I guess you want to stay up with me!" Noah cuddled him a bit.

"Let's sleep." Cody mumbled.

"Hm? You're tired?" Noah asked. "I'll help you change into your pajamas."

Cody stopped him. "I got it." He got up and opened his closet.

Noah watched him.

Cody was feeling embarrassed but he figured he should just do it quickly. He took his shirt off first. His cheeks heated up as he felt Noah's stare.

He quickly put his night shirt on before taking his pants off so that the shirt could cover his behind. He felt a bit relieved that he wore oversized clothing. Just as quickly as he took them off, he put his pajama pants on and let out a relieved sigh.

Noah had been watching silently the whole time.

Cody buttoned up his shirt before turning around to face Noah.

Noah was smiling dreamily.

Cody looked away awkwardly.

"Let's lay down together~" Noah stood up and opened up his arms.

Cody kept his eyes away from Noah as he approached into his arms.

Noah hugged him happily and they both lied down together.

Cody kept his back facing Noah as Noah spooned him.

Cody sighed deeply. He was worried about what Noah had in store for him, but he's thankful that he hasn't done anything that Cody wasn't comfortable with.

"Cody..." Noah called out quietly. "Thank you for accepting me."

Cody was so confused.

"I thought I was happy just watching you from afar. But seeing you this close, talking to you, touching you..." Noah buried his face into Cody's back. "I love it..."

Cody frowned at that.

"I don't think I've ever been happier." Noah added.

Cody teared up a bit.

"That's why..." Noah started. "That's why I can't let you go..."

Cody was a sucker for love. That much was obvious. When Noah said things like this, Cody's heart warms up and it makes him happy.

"You understand, right?" Noah asked.

Cody turned around to face Noah.

Noah looked at him happily.

Cody pecked Noah on the lips. It was his way of saying thank you.

Cody just meant for it to be a peck, but Noah seemed to want more as he tried to open Cody's mouth but Cody moved away and hid his face on Noah's shoulder.

Noah kissed Cody's head a few thousand times.

Cody smiled and looked back up at him. "Can we sleep now?"

Noah smiled back at him. "Of course, My Life."

Cody blinked at him.

"Or would you prefer Light Of My Life? My Reason For Living?"
