From Straight To Love

Ch 19 - Keepsakes

Tyson's POV:

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying on the bed, my clothes were changed, and it was already morning. I may have felt Nathan's arms picking up me at night, maybe I slept after crying for sometime. There no office today, its sunday.

I got off the bed, and looked for Nathan but he was not there. I saw the breakfast ready and kept on the table. There was a small note stuck beside it, it said "out for some work, don't worry about me 🙂".

Oh god, I overreacted yesterday night, he would have felt bad. I went to take a shower but in my mind I was continuously thinking whether I did right or wrong reacting like that yesterday night.

I was in my towel, as I opened the wardrobe I saw some of Nathan's clothes missing. I don't know what is he up to. Is he finding a new home for himself?!!!

Did I hurt him so much? Oh my god, I need to find him. Oh my phone, my phone, I rushed to my phone and tried to call but his phone was unreachable.

I went back to the wardrobe and finding my clothes, those were also not in the upper shelf now, I started searching for my navy blue t-shirt which I wanted to wear today. Searching for that I found a mini bag. Maybe it was Nathan's belonging in there.

I saw a chain hanging out of that bag so I opened the bag just to put the chain inside when I saw a small black box on which it my name was written beautifully.

When I removed that box I saw there were many stuffs which I gifted to Nathan or which had a memory of us.

I opened the box on which my name was written, there were tons of polaroid style photos, the photos were normal but they were kept in a polaroid layout and each photo had a small note on it.

I saw some of the photos, there was one picture of me hugging Nathan after our shower and we both were in towel and below that it was written, "my home is not a 3-4 BHK house or flat, its him, my comfort zone".

There was a picture where I was naked on bed and he took a selfie of us in a jolly expression, that was a picture when we both had a night over. Under this photo it was written, "!! The best way to start my day is to wake up beside him <3!!".

Then I saw our first even taken photo, we both took it when we were initially just friends, and this picture was given by me to him, below this picture had written, "never knew a guy would be more important to me even than my family".

These things were making me emotional, there were many such pictures there were even my solo pictures which Nathan use to take when we both use to be alone at home, there were picture of him which I took. There was a picture of Nathan wearing a hello kitty hairband and his face was looking really cute. I also had applied some blush on both his cheeks. That photo also a sweet note underneath, "I love to be as he want me to be, I feel happy around him, I like him".

I was shocked to see how much efforts he had put on making all this. From when the hell has he started loving me so much, I always thought he loved Portia more than anything.

I saw another photo where we both had applied face mask one ach other and were pouting taking a mirror selfie, the note said, " !!! never thought skincare could be so much fun with my lovey dovey !!!". Aww he wrote me as his lovey dovey, now am feeling like being really loved, he truly loved me so much 🥹 and he still loves me.

I was about to look inside the bag when the box fell off my hands and the photos and everything fell out of the box.

In between all the photos I saw a letter. A yellow paper looked like a letter. I opened the letter, it was addressed to me. The letter said -

MY Love Tyson,

I don't know if you will ever get this box of our lovely memories or even I will meet you ever again but I will always love you. I that day broke up with Portia because she humiliated you I even tried to convince you to give me another chance but maybe fate was not on our side. To be honest from that day I have tried hard to again meet you and ask you to give me another chance. I really started loving you during our FWB phase and I was really jealous when you were dating Adrian (I hate to say this but it;'s true).

After you broke up with Adrian that was the time period I realized how much I have fallen in love with you. Every touch of yours would give me butterflies. I really miss those days of our FWB, but I want more than that now, I want to be your boyfriend, I want us to be a couple. I had never thought that I the person who thought he was straight and was homophobic would fall so deeply in love with my best friend.

I used to love it when you used to call me homie or bestie sometimes. I would love to hear them again but also I would love to be called 'baby', 'darling', 'Sugarplum', 'Honey'.

I know its really hard for you to give me a chance but that's ok, I can wait more it's been seven months since we parted our ways. I am craving to be with you, I can't live without you.

Being away from you have made me realize how cheesy, how submissive and how much loving and gay I was for you. I miss you Tysi, please come back to me, please give me another chance, I promise I will neer let you down again.

PLEASE COME BACK TYSON 😭 ❤️

The letter made me emotional, how deeply he is in love with me. I was still in towel. I then looked inside the bag, there was a towel inside it, it looked ordinary to me. Then I looked at the corner of the towel, it was the towel of that hotel where we went for excursion. When I looked at it inside there was a piece of paper, it was also a note, "this towel was shared by Tyson and me it has the scent of him in it and I love it".

Then there was some friendship bands which I had given him. Then there were clothes we both shared. There was a page where Nathan had trying to make hashtags with our names like #nason, #tythan and more.

There was more photos of us in a folder. There was a painting of me on top of Nathan and am kissing him, I didn't know he could paint so well.

I need to meet him as soon as possible, am ready to give him a chance but where the hell is he.

Suddenly I got pinge on my phone, it was Nathan's text, "hey, sorry I didn't tell you but I also took our clothes to the laundry".

Me: you took those jeans off mine to the laundry which could go with any t shirt, even my black and navy blue trousers, and you took my shirts too what should I wear am in towel right now.

Nathan: oh really can you please drop the towel and send me a pic 🤤

Me: srsly Nath, tell me what should I do.

Nathan: wear my clothes we both have the same size of clothes now.

Me: can I??

Nathan: why not? Am all yours so is my belongings

Me: thank you so much, 🫶

I took a selfie when i was in towel and send it to Nathan and also I dropped my Towel.

Me: as you are doing me a favor take the pics you wanted.

Nathan: really you gave me, thank you Tysi 🥰

He's really cute, can't wait to meet him.
