A gift for a Queen

Theodore's POV.

Sixth hour gets me excited for Anthony and mine tutoring session. My mind is flooded with giddiness when the final bell rings, and I can see Anthony's face light up when we make eye contact. I pack up my things quickly and then we head to the library, our shoulders bumping.

"I'm going to find the most secluded part of the library," Anthony announces.

"Or we can ask the librarian for a room," I suggest.

"Lets do that, that's good," Anthony agrees.

I shake my head fighting a smile and a blush. We walk over to librarian, and I request a room for privacy, because we'd be going over test scores, and homework scores during our session. With that explanation she brought us to one of the conference rooms and pointed to a door opposite the one we came through, and told us to use that door when we leave. Then she promtply left us alone. The second the door clicked shut Anthony grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a hug. He takes a deep breath and mumbles.

"I missed you Teddy."

"I missed you too Ant," I admit placing my head in the crook of his neck.

We hug for a little bit before I make us sit down so we can actually get work done. As I'm checking one of his answers he places his left hand on my knee, rubbing his thumb back and forth. Effectively distracting me, I take my left hand and set it over his. Before moving my eyes to his.

"Don't distract me I'm trying to help you get your grades up," I deadpan before turning my attention back to the paper. He sighs and takes his hand from my knee before he places it on the small of my back, making my shoulders tense.

Shaking my head I decide to ignore the heat from his hand as I mark the paper.

"Okay, it looks like you're understanding everything from the first two units, so I'm going to make a test over the two and you'll take it on Tuesday and then we'll move on. Sound good?"

"Yeah that's fine," Anthony answers, before I feel one of his hands grasp my chin and turn my head.

I blush and he kisses me. Its kind of awkward because of how far apart our chairs are and once we separate Anthony pulls me up so we're standing and so he can kiss me better apparently. He smirks at me before he leans back in claiming my lips again, he wraps his arms around my waist and I reciprocate by wrapping my arms around his shoulders. The kiss lasts a lot longer than our previous one, and Anthony opens his mouth against mine, and I despite being nervous open mine as well, and holy shit he's expierienced.

After our mostly unfocused tutoring session, he takes me to McDonald's and buys me an M&M mcflurry as per usual before he takes me home. When he drops me off I notice Charlie isn't here. Huh weird. I thank him and peck his cheek before heading inside and checking my phone for texts or something from her.

C-3PO

So I might have left this out but I got into a relationship a couple of months ago and I figured I wouldn't tell you because there was a lot going on and he was being sent to Afghanistan for the army so I didn't know when you'd be able to meet him but he's finished his deployment and he's coming home for a little bit and I offered him to stay here with us, so I'm at the airport picking him up.

Graham cracker

Okay I look forward to meeting him!

I smile happy that Charlotte found someone to be with. I am a little upset she didn't tell me, but I understand why she didn't. I decide to make myself dinner because I'm pretty hungry. After my dinner I wash the dishes in the sink, as it is beginning to look ovewhelming. Once I finish the dishes I decide to text Ant.

Teddy Bear🐻

Hey what're you up to?

Ant🐜

Just in my room thinking about you. I was just about to text you actually.

Teddy Bear🐻

That's fantastic timing

We talk for a little while before I hear Charlie's car pull up. I'm still smiling from ear to ear but I can just play that off as if I'm happy to meet Charlie's boyfriend. Don't get me wrong I am super excited to meet him, but that's not why I'm smiling like a doofus. The door opens and reveals a Charlie with puffy eyes and a smile that seems like it will never go away, the eminent happiness radiating from her is enough to almost make me happy cry. She turns and waves a man in the classic army camo uniform who comes in and stands next to her pulling her into a hug.

"Hi I'm Aaron," the guy introduces putting his hand out to shake mine in a greeting.

"I'm Theodore, but you can call me Theo," I introduce taking his hand and shaking it, "I hope you make Charlie as happy as you physically can, and now I'm going to bed, I've had a long ass day. Have fun," I say before adding; "But not too much fun, I want to be able to sleep."

"Teddy!" Charlie exclaims embarrassed I cackle evilly before heading to my bedroom.

-

"Oh!" I exclaim the next morning clutching my heart. Aaron apparently likes to be awake at ass crack in the morning, the sun has barely risen, and he's wide awake in our kitchen cooking.

"Sorry Theo," he apologizes.

"You better be, I almost pissed myself!" I admit starting to laugh at the situation.

"Wake up time, and the time change I'm not quite used to it yet," Aaron chuckles, turning back to his cooking.

"It's alright, it makes a lot of sense so I won't hold it over you," I say smiling.

"That's great," he chuckles.

We talk for a bit while he makes himself breakfast I sit with him while he eats before I head back to my room to get ready for the school day. I tell Charlie she doesn't have to drive me and that I can get a ride to school, that way she can spend more time with her boyfriend. I text Nav and ask her to bring me to school, and she agrees and tells me to be ready forty-five minutes before school starts, now I know why she's always so grouchy.

Just as I'm done getting my shoes on she honks her horn letting me know she's here. I rush out, not wanting to hinder her plans too much and hop in her car.

"So why am I giving you a ride? Not that I'm complaining by any means," she clarifies.

"Oh uh, Charlie's boyfriend is here after his deployment and I figured I'd give them as much time together as possible, you know," I respond setting my bag by my feet.

"Nice, your sister is so awesome and she deserves to have someone to worship her awesomeness, aside from her brother," Naveeah points out, I nod my agreement and then decide to tell her about me and Ant.

"So uhm, you know how I told you about my crush on Anthony, and how I thought nothing would come of it, well he told me some guy was making him question his sexuality, BEFORE I told him I wasn't straight, and then he kissed me, and we confessed and now we're sort of Dating?" I say sheepishly smiling.

"I'm so happy for you!" She exclaims throwing a fist in the air making me laugh.

When we finally reach the school I'm excited to see Ant soon, and watch my best friend pump out assignments like they're nothing.
