19 - Cuddle Monster

~ GREGORY'S POV ~

For once, I feel content with my life. After everything that has happened to me... I actually feel like it was all worth it. There's nothing better than this perfect moment... This single moment where I can rest, whether its on Evan's lap or not. Maybe... he's not too bad. Maybe I can show a hint of vulnerability in front of him. He's never seen me so gross though... That makes me feel slightly disgusted because of myself. But the way he picked me up before, holding me so close and tight... I felt so cherished and cared for. I swear, he must think I weigh the same amount as a banana or a couple grapes. Like a feather, even.

"You're so warm... I like it when you're so cuddly." Evan commented out of the blue, but I wasn't offended or disgusted like I usually would be. I felt happy that he thinks I'm warm and cuddly, which I am. This blanket helps too.

"Well, it's your fault for being soft and comfy... Now shut your mouth before I shut it myself."

"I wouldn't mind that, you know."

"Not even if I used a pin to sew your lips together?"

"I was expecting something more like a kiss to shut me up. Because it would."

"Just... shut up..."

And to my own surprise, I actually sat up and before I knew it, I was kissing him on the lips. His hand trailed up my side, then landed on my cheek, caressing my cheekbone gently. I love his touch. It's so comforting and soft... I love it. A lot more than I probably should.

I'm supposed to hate gay people and gay things. They disgusted me. I hated them.

But I don't think any of it is true anymore.

I'm enjoying this kiss. More than I will ever admit. Maybe.

"I love your kisses..."

Damn it; I just admitted it... But I feel almost no shame for it.

"You know, considering you were once one of the most homophobic people I think I'd ever met; you're quite cute when you let me kiss you. I could do it all day and never get tired of it."

And that's what we did.

He carried me from the couch to my room upstairs, which is impressive enough. He placed me on my bed, then climbed on top of me. He rested his head on my chest, listening to my heart pound against my ribcage. I love this. He is such a cuddle monster... And I love it more than anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, this one is pretty short. I didn't have lots of motivation once again, but after being absent for so long, I didn't want to disappoint y'all. So, I hope this can make up for it as a short apology chapter to make up for my absence. I'll try my hardest to keep posting more, but I do have my own life and I don't want to have to ask for being excused for having some time off for myself. I've been busy with personal issues in my life, and I don't want people coming at me for being gone so long when I've been dealing with what feels like severe depression.

Anyway, I hope you guys can forgive me for neglecting this series. Hope you all have a nice rest of your day. Love you all to bits <3
