Beneath the surface

Chapter 3 (Cuddles?)

Pavel's pov

A few days went by after the night at Pooh's house. After that night he acted as if nothing happened between us. He made me breakfast the next morning and I saw his eyes were a bit swollen but I didn't dare ask. He acted as usual after that,picking me up from home,dropping me off to my home, taking care of me and didn't try to get intimate with me which I hate to admit it actually got me thinking why. Did he get bored of me?

I was about to leave after practice when Benz called out to me

Benz: Pavel aren't you coming with us?

Pavel: Where are you guys going?

I asked confused

Benz: Did you not check the group chat? We decided to go to dinner together

Pavel: I didn't see it. Anyways you guys carry on I'm tired

Benz: Come on everyone is coming

Pavel: I'm really tired today Benz

I was really exhausted today from all the practice and the entire thing with Pooh was really messing with my mind. I just wanted to relax today

Benz: Fine I won't push it but you have to join next time ok

Pavel: I promise

I said giving him a small smile before leaving.

I guess I'll be going home by myself since Pooh must be going with them aswell. I kinda got used to being chauffeured around so it felt a bit weird going home alone,I never really talked much on our rides. He was always the one asking me things to which I just gave him one or two word answers. I guess it was rude but he was really messing with my head the past few days,he still hadn't deleted that clip and I feel like this is the only way I could get back at him although I really enjoyed talking to him about well everything before this whole thing happened I used to talk non-stop during our rides and he never complained,he even seemed to enjoy hearing me talk. I do miss those times

I took a cab back home,took a long shower and settled on my couch watching a TV series when the doorbell suddenly rang. I wasn't expecting anyone right now. I got up and peeped from the peephole. Pooh? What was he doing here? Didn't he go with the rest of the group?

Was he here to mess with me again? This thought really annoyed me. I am really tired and I don't wanna deal with his "needs" aka I don't wanna get fucked and isn't he supposed to be at that dinner. I reluctantly opened the door to face him

Pavel: Did you miss the dinner just to fuck me?!

I asked annoyed as he immediately shook his head as a no

Pooh: Benz said you didn't come with us because you were tired so I thought we could cuddle?

Pavel: Huh?!

Well that was new and unexpected, really unexpected

Pooh: See I even got us matching pajamas and snacks

He said with a puppy smile. Shit why is my heart beating so fast. He looks kinda....cute. Fuck I need to get a grip of myself, what am I even thinking right now?!!

Pavel: Come in I guess

I said confused as he walked in

Pooh: Here

He said holding out a bag in his hand

Pavel: what's this?

I said taking the bag from his hand

Pooh: Matching pj's wear it na

He said making puppy eyes. He needs to stop doing that giving me the tingling feeling in my stomach but stronger

Pavel: Hmm...ok

I said walking in another room to change when I came back I saw Pooh had already changed in to his pj's and was sitting on the couch waiting for me. I walked in sitting beside him on the couch as he looked at me his eyes sparkling

Pooh: You look so cute

Pooh squealed. Why am I getting shy? damn it!!

He played the series that was on pause and pulled me closer to him. My head rested on his chest as he hugged me and caressed and played with my hair. It feels comfortable and warm

Pooh: Hug me back? Please

Thank god he said that I was trying so hard to hold back. Shit shit shit am I starting to like him. I can't, not after what he has done,can I? Shit he's scratching my hair at the right spot. It feels so nice,I can feel myself melting in his arms

Pooh: I'm sorry I shouldn't have come without telling you first. I just missed you

Pavel: I don't mind

I said almost purring at his touch

Pavel: I guess

I added quickly realizing what I just said to sound nonchalant. He continued to scratch my head making me snuggle to him. His embrace is so cozy,my head feels light It's as if all the stress has suddenly disappeared

Pooh: Pavel

Pooh suddenly called my name

Pavel: Hmm

I hummed with eyes closed nearly falling asleep in the relaxing atmosphere

Pooh: Can I move in with you?

Pavel: Huh?

I looked up at him confused but by the look on his face he was serious but I just looked back at the TV screen before answering

Pavel: You'll do what you want anyways whether I like it or not so why ask

I said with a blank expression

Pooh: I won't if you don't want me to

I looked up at him again as his eyes met mine

Pavel: So you're really asking for permission?

Pooh: Hmm....it gets really lonely at my house, I don't like it but if you feel uncomfortable with me here I won't move in

I sat in silence thinking about what I should say next. I don't know if that would be a good idea but right now all my instincts are telling me to say yes as he looked at me with hopeful eyes

Pavel: Fine you can stay

His face lit up as I said that

Pooh: Really! You're the best!

He said hugging me tightly and kissing my head with enthusiasm. It felt nice seeing him happy

Pooh: Thank you

He said as he started to caress my hair again

Pavel: Hmm

I replied before falling asleep in his arms

Author's pov

Pooh saw that Pavel had already fallen, he carried an asleep Pavel to the bedroom laying him on the bed. He got in bed himself and kissed Pavel's forehead before falling asleep cuddling with him
