Unexpected Love

III ;Still over

.Clydes pov.

When the warm and sudden touch of Craig was on me.. It shocked me, looking down at Craig who was snuggled up against me. Causing me to blush a bit,, I looked back at the TV, I didn't mind it..

It felt quite nice.

When he fell asleep, I wrapped my arm around him. The movie still ongoing, I fell asleep after an hour and 30 minutes in..

————————

When I woke up, Craig was still there cuddled up, but he was awake. Holding his phone still as he scrolled through Twitter (X).

"...Morning" I say within a voice crack and a tired voice. He looked at me, resting his phone down in his hand before responding. "Morning.." He sounded nervous. I didn't wanna bother him about it, so I didn't ask about it.

Craig sat up, after I sat up aswell.. We were,, too close for comfort.. I noticed him slightly scooting away abit so we weren't too close like that. "What time is it?" I asked, looking over to Craigs phone then at Craig.

I watched as he checked, "8:24." I nodded at the response. "I should probably head home soon then.." I said, grabbing my phone and moving to the edge of the bed. "Oh,, alright" He gave off a smile that made me smile. It wasn't very often you'd see Craig Tucker smile. I was glad to be one of his closest friends cause fuck, I see it more than anyone else.

...Makes me feel special.

I got up from his bed without saying a word, pulling on my shoes and grabbing my bags before leaving. I didn't even tie my shoes, I felt utterly kind of.. Weird in a way ?

The feeling was weird, I mean. I've felt this feeling before, but with someone so close yet so far it was weird.

I didn't even say bye, I felt kind of bad about it.. I'll just text him later. I made my way home, pulling out my keys from one of the bags and unlocking the door, then moving in. Closing the door behind me.

My dad wasn't home, like always.. I went up to my room and put the stuff in the bags away, all the things I got from the mall. Plus the clothes I was wearing before changing..

Fuck.

I completely forgot these weren't my pajamas.. I sigh, pulling out my phone and tapping my way to Craigs and mine messages. "Hey, I'll give you your pj's back on monday. Sorry about leaving like that by the way" I toss my phone onto my bed after sending the text.

Yesterday was so awkward yet so.. I guess you could say adorable ? I don't know how to phrase it. I put the empty bags in the closet, which were kind of just stuffed into another bag, but it wasn't plastic.

————————

I pulled my shoes off, setting them next to my door. I then approached and sat down on my bed, looking at my phone. "It's okay, and you can keep the pjs. I have a few anyways." was the text I saw, that was obviously from Craig.

I pull my phone up in my hand and swiped out of the messages, tapping straight to Tolkiens.

"Hey Tolkien" I sent, and after waiting a few minutes I got a reply back. "Whats up?" I thought for a few minutes before getting the courage to start typing. "Can I talk to you?" I stared at the sent message before typing again, "Just don't tell nobody"

I got an almost immediate response "Sure ?" I blinked and honestly couldn't find myself to tell him. After waiting some more for absolutely nothing. I shot up another text. "I might have a crush."

Just glancing at the text made me feel weird. "On Craig." I sent again. Literally just to be left on read. I groaned, resting my phone down on the bedside table before standing up and gathering some clothes to chill in. Heading to my bathroom, starting a warm shower.

I have to think about this, it feels all so weird yet so, normal ???
