POV : Aaron Warner enters the real world

5

It's dark now and you make your way to the kitchen . You find your mother busy cooking some soup since it's cold tonight . The food smells so good your mom notices your presence and looks at you .
"Hey honey are you all right?" She asks
You nodd
"Mom , I need to tell you something " You say
She stops stirring the food and her full attention is on you.
"My , friend . Aaron .... his parents are missing ."
Your mom furrows her eyebrows . "Sweetheart that is terrible "
"Can he stay with us until things are cleared , he has no other family here"
"Without a doubt sweetheart " she gives you a hug . You hate lying to your mom, but you knew she had a good heart so you took your chances .
"Dinner is ready in 5 " your mom says , you smile at her and head back to your room .

You open your door and see Aaron looking at your desk going through your journal . You feel your heart drop. He turns his attention to you and puts your journal back on your table . You smile at him .
"My mom fell for it you're a genius " You say
"I get that a lot " he smiles . He's still dressed in the school uniform as well as you .
"Well we can get dinner " You say and Aaron follows you to the kitchen . Your dining table was in view of the tv and it was a tradition of your family to watch news while you ate dinner . Aaron sits next to you on the table he has removed his blazer and pushed the button up sleeves up to his elbows . Every now and then your eyes shift to watch the lean muscle and his veiny hands as he eats the soup . He looks like he enjoys it , he's a quiet guy . Your mom catches you staring and you blush . You see Aaron smile slyly and you remember that he can sense emotions . You inhale and turn your focus back to the tv .

After dinner you load the dishwasher and Aaron leans against the counter keeping you company .
"Your mother is a really good cook " he says
"Yeah she is" you reply meeting his eye. They really are pale emerald, so beautiful. He follows you while you take him to the linen closet to get him a towel. You hand him a fluffy towel and washcloth.
"Here, you can go clean yourself up. We have a tub and shower, but I guess you'll take the tub?"
He furrows his brows in surprise "how'd you know?"
Lucky guess you shrug grinning.
You leave him and go to your room, your room is warm and aesthetic with fairy lights. You sit down on your bed and take your phone. You unlock it and go to your text messages. You were looking for a specific one. You were talking to a guy for a while, but he seemed to have lost interest. It made you a bit angry ,because he was really cool and the only person who has ever seemed interested in you. You decide to read through your old chats.

"I'm done " Aaron says, he enters your room with a white shirt sitting snugly across his chest and grey sweatpants. You feel your cheeks flush as you breathe the fresh scent of him.
"What are you doing?" He asks confused
"Texting" you say showing him your phone "don't tell me you don't know what a phone is "
"Unfortunately I don't, love "
Your heart just dropped he called you love . He sits down next to you on the bed.
"Who is h/n ?"
"Ugh it's nobody " You say shutting off your phone and placing it on your lap.
"He seems to upset you, what did he do ?" He asks his voice a bit more firm
"He ghosted me " Aaron narrows his eyes and cocks his head . "It means he doesn't read my messages anymore "
Aaron nodds in understanding "And why does it upset you? "
"I don't know , ugh I guess I kinda liked him and he just threw it away"
"Why like a guy when he makes you feel that way?" He runs a hand through his hair "I'm not normally this nice to people, but you have a very pure heart y/n, you can't just make any man take advantage of that. You shouldn't settle for basic charity, if a guy really likes you he'll do anything in his power to keep you. Instead get a dog love I heard they share much of the same qualities. "
You start smiling and you rest your head on Aaron's shoulder, his muscles tense, but release almost immediately. He takes his hand and places it on your cheek. You stay there for a good second.
"Should I block him, like stop him from contacting me ?"
"Definitely " Aaron encourages
You turn to face him open your phone go to settings and block him.
"There I did it " You say smiling and feel a weight lifted off of your shoulders
"I'm proud of you" Aaron smiles for a second to long, he adverts his gaze and clears his throat "maybe you should go wash up "
"Yeah , yes . I'll see you in a bit" you say getting up from your bed and getting your pajamas
