Chapter 11: A Clingy Morning

Connor-
The light shined through the uncovered window exposing a large amount of sunlight to shine through the room. I felt really warm, like if i had a weighted blanket. i didn't open my eyes, i felt really comfortable. When i did i realized—holy shit, i've been cuddling with Malcolm this entire time. I wasn't complaining though. It was really confortable and it felt good. "Mmm, Stop moving." he said sleepily and pulled me closer. I can't lie. It was really cute when he did that. I was still tired so i took this opportunity to fall back asleep.

Maybe an hour or so later i woke up and I picked up the phone i had that i left charging last night. i got up, by got up- i mean sat up. this time Malcolm was resting himself on me. He wrapped his arm around my lower waist and placed his head on me and continued to sleep. I pulled the covers over Mal and I some more. I felt every deep breath he took and i don't know why, but it made me feel safe in a way? Like i can know he's still here, alive and safe. It was cute that he rested on me but damn my body felt a lil bit numb but i really didn't mind at all. His breathing was a little faster than it probably should be and since his back was facing up more, I placed one arm on his back and lightly and softly moved my hand up and down his back. This made his breathing slower like if it was comforting to him.
He snuggled closer to me. When i stopped moving my hand and just kept it resting in his back he muttered "Don't stop," it was light and quiet but loud enough for me to hear. i laughed a bit. His words made my heart skip a beat or two.

It had been a while so i call out to Malcolm and he doesn't respond. I guess he fell right back asleep. I continued to watch the Sam and Colby video on the phone. I'm surprised how no creature or monster had killed me yet from using technology. i stole this phone from a technology repare shop in downtown manhattan.

All my siblings had been asleep, all of them, Then Travis woke up, "Morning TravAss" i said
"Morning, Connie. I see you've got yourself an extra blanket" he smirked
"Oh please, shut up"
"I'm joking!"
I still continued to watch the video while Travis does whatever he does in the morning. "Connor, come help me with something"
"No, i'm comfortable here."
"Yea, comfortable snuggling your boyfriend i see. You can snuggle him after. Just help me with this goddamn coffee machine"
"Fine." i said annoyed

I got up slowly, trying to not wake Malcolm up. I moved him slowly. Once i fully got up i placed pillows on where i was prior. And walked over to Travis. "Great! Now can you please help me work this coffee machine. It won't work"
"That's because you didn't turn the coffee machine on, Idiot. And for the record. He's not my boyfriend." i rolled my eyes
"Yea, sure he's not. Well, Anyways, Thanks for helping me"
"Yea, Yea. Your welcome . Now ima make coffee after you do" i said
"Good idea since you've been kissing your boyfriend all night" he teased
"Oh my gods, shut up" i sighed. I waited for Travis to finish making his coffee.

Once Travis was done making his coffee i started to make mine. i put the coffee mix in and that's when i felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. "Mhmmm, Why'd you go?" Malcolm said as he dug his head in the crook of my neck. Since we're the same hight it was easy for him to place his head in the crook of my neck. "Travis didn't know how a coffee machine worked. How'd you wake up so quickly in basically just got up"
"i know the difference between some pillows and you." he said sleepily. Aww, how Cute.

We stayed in that same position till my coffee was done making. He was still hugging me from the back but rested his chin on my shoulder. I took a sip of my coffee and burned my tongue. "Ouch, Hot." I said

"Be careful next time" he said still tired and i felt a warm and lightly wet touch against my neck. And that's when i realized, He kissed my neck. When he removed his lips from my neck it made a light kissing noise. i turned as red as a literal tomato. I could still feel the warmth of the kiss on my neck even though he had already stopped kissing my neck. Gods it felt so good and i loved every second of it. Gods i really do think im inlove with him. From the craving of him touching me to now craving his lips on me. He's driving me crazy. "Did i just see what i thought i saw" Travis said snapping me back into reality. You know what.. Maybe he's just clingy and affectionate in the mornings? I'm losing my mind and trying to find every little bit of affection he gives me into him giving these feelings i have for him back. Gods i wish he'd just kiss me again. "Yea" i said.

"Sorry, do you want me to not kiss you..?" He said a lil quiet and nervous.
"Yes i— No, wait yes. Wait no..? Wait yea i mean yes or? I- Holy shit, What i mean is i don't mind the kissing or anything, its cute actually." i said getting lighter in volume when i got close to the 'cute actually' part. "Okay!" He said then he kissed me again. I took another sip of coffee. It was still hot but not as hot as before. "I wanna take a sip" he said. I moved the cup so he could take a sip. "Damn, it's really sweet and sugary" he said while yawning. Cute!
"You still tired?"
"Mhmm."
"You wanna finish the movie before you leave?"
"Mhm!" GODS WHY IS HE SO FREAKING CUTE IN THE MORNING?
"You sure? You can sleep if you want."
"After." He said
"Okay, well we have about an hour left of the movie, how long you staying for? It's 8:26 right now."
"Till 1:30ish to 2:30"
"Okay, thats plenty of time"
We started to watch IT again. "To be honest, Eddie is my favorite one out of the Losers Club" He said "Both in the movie and book"
"Really? Richie is my favorite" i told him
"You kinda look like Eddie, with Richie's personality though" He said happily
"Thanks" i laughed I turned to look at him and he smiled. He noticed i was smiling at him "What? You want another kiss?" he said with a playful tone. I lightly elbowed him.
"You know, I hate Beverly in the book but she's alright in the movie, i guess." He said and began to rant about how good Eddie was in the book without spoiling the book.

The movie was great. No, it's was amazing! 10/10 as always. "Did you like it?"
"Yea, I did" he said happily
"Still wanna sleep?"
"No, though it's pretty early so what shall we do now?"
"Hmm. I don't know... Wanna do a Film Marathon?" i suggested
"Yea! On what movies or TV series?" he questioned
"Stephen King or Lord Of The Rings?"
"We should continue the Stephen King films and when we're done with them, we watch Lord Of The Rings" He suggested
"Alright, What do you wanna watch?" I pulled up a google doc of all the Stephen King movies and shows
"hmmm, Why not, Stand By Me" He looked to me and smiled
"It's a great movie, One of my favorites" i said with a smile
