Mirrorball-Cole Walter

Late night cuddles

Stella Berkshire

We finally made it to the ranch after school, the rest of the school day going by slowly. Art was good though. It was weird being without Cole since we have the same schedule otherwise, but it was fun. When we got home, we all went inside, everyone going there separate ways. Me and Cole went into the kitchen along with Issac, to get a snack.

"So how was your first day of school Stella?"  Issac asked after biting his apple. "It was pretty good, I have some photography homework but that's it. Would you wanna help me with that? You could be my model." I joked, using all knowing how photogenic he is. "Anything for you Stella." He sent a joking look back. Other than Cole, I have always been closest with Issac. Us bonding over our love of fashion. Cole gave me a sad look, obviously wanting to help me too. "Don't worry Coley, I'll let you help too." I said, ruffling his hair before moving to sit on the counter.

Cole smiled, before walking my way, he stood between my legs, laying his head on my shoulder, practically burried in my neck. I continued eating my popcorn, and talking with Isaac about fashion and catching him up on my life back in Cali.

Once we finished eating and catching up, I excused myself to my room. I began unpacking some boxes and making my space feel like myself with the added art materials already in my room. The last thing I unpacked was my books, organizing them how I like. I finished that, and am now just sitting on my phone. I heard a knock at my doorway turning to find Katherine. "Hi Katherine, how was work?" I asked, knowing she had a surgery she was doing. "It was good, although the ear infection was bothering Henry's owner more than it did him." She joked. "Oh by the way, dinner is going to be in about an hour" she said, before going back to the kitchen to continue cooking. I decided to do some reading with my time, reading 'icebreaker'.

I had just gotten to the club scene when Cole came slumping into my room, falling onto my bed, head resting on my thighs. I paused my reading, running a hand through his hair. He let out a soft sigh, cuddling my Jean clad legs. "You ok bub?" I asked the older boy. He had always been a huge physical touch person, me as well. I knew Cole could be clingy so I just wanted to check he was just being clingy and nothing else was wrong. " 'm ok. Just tired." He mumbled into my legs. I let his lay there while I finished my reading. I snapped a quick picture since Cole looked so cute and peaceful.

About an hour later, we got called down for dinner. If all went pretty smooth, everyone talking about their days and plans for the week.

After dinner, I went and took a shower, washing my hair and shaving my legs. Once I got out, I took off my makeup, doing my skincare. I was in my robe, and realized I had no pjs with me as all of my things from Cali haven't arrived yet. Now what. I could ask Issac for some. Or I could ask Cole. Yea definitely gonna ask Cole. I walked into his room, the door being open. He was at his desk, doing the psychology homework. "Hey Cole?" "Hmm" he hummed, telling me to continue. "Do you think I could borrow some clothes. I do t have any pjs yet since the boxes aren't all here yet." I asked, giving him my puppy dog eyes I k ow he can't resist. "Sure thing Stella, c'mon." He motioned me over to where he was staining by his closet. He grabbed a pair of boxers, some pj pants, and an oversized shirt of his.

"Can you turn around please?" I asked the older boy, him giving me a reading smirk before turning around. I began getting g changed, putting on the boxers and top without a bra on. They are too uncomfortable to bother with this late at night. " ok, you can turn around now" I told Cole, as I was sliding the red plaid pajama pants up my legs slowly. He walked over to me, tickling my sides to distant me. "Cole STOP" I squeeled, laughing due to how ticklish I am. He finally stopped, before moving his hands to tie my pants tight against me, since they were super loose. "There you go Stells" he smiled a sad smile, obviously thinking about something.

I put my hands on either side of his face, cupping his face with my hands. "Whats on your mind bub? Hm?" I asked, leaning forward to softly kiss his forehead. "Just thinking about football and my injury." he lowly spoke, tears welling in his eyes as his lip quivered slightly. "Awww it's ok baby, come here." I pulled the shaking boy into my arms, letting him lay on my chest as chocked sobs escaped his lips. I looked down at the crying boy in my arms, a few of my own tears escaping from my eyes.

After about 20 minutes, the sobs had reduced to slight hiccups, and I was playing with Cole's hair and whispering sweet nothings into his ear. He had his head on my chest, legs tangled together as we laid in his bed. We decided to put on a movie, slowly falling asleep.
