Helping You Through This

CH.8 - saying goodbye

Eddie pov:

I wake up to Gaege cuddling me. I pull him in closer and giving him a kiss on the forehead. He looks so peaceful as he sleeps, it's honestly the only time he seems at peace. I never knew how much Gauge struggled with his negative thoughts until he told me all about it last night. Maybe not all about it but I at least know a little more about his worries twords me, us. I want him to know that I really care about him but I just don't know how to show it.

I watch as Gaege's eyes flutter open. He looks up at me with a smile.

"Morning." His voice is groggy

"Morning." I smile as I give him a kiss on the forehead

His cheeks turn a light shade of pink before he sits up, rubbing his eyes with the palms of his hands. I get up as well and walk to my closet to grab a change of clothes.

"Imma go to my room and get dressed." Gaege says as he gets closer to the door

"Aw, leaving me all alone." I frown

"I know, what will you do without me." He playfully rolls his eyes

"I know, I might die within the 10 minutes that your gone!" I pretend to faint as I fall on my bed

Gaege quickly rushed to me, tackling me. He wraps his arms around my torso as he sits on my lap.

"Oh no, my best friend has died! What ever should I do?" He pretends to cry as he places his forged against my chest

I wrap my arms around him and pull him as close to me as possible. We both start laughing as I let go of my grip. Gaege sits up, still sitting on my lap as he looks down at me.

"God your so stupid." He smiles

"Yeah, but so are you." I smile back

He gets off my lap and walks out of my room. I get up and actually start to get dressed. Once I'm done I walk to the kitchen and start cooking breakfast. Today is the last day all of the boys will be staying at my house, I honestly will miss everyone being together, mostly missing Gauge. I know I told him that he should move in with me but I think he took it more as a joke. I guess I was joking but in a way I was serious.

Once I'm done with breakfast Gaege walks into the kitchen. I blush as I realize that he's still wearing my hoodie. He's been wearing it ever since I let him borrow it, I guess its because his hoodie is dirty but I definitely could have cleaned it during his time here. He sits down next to me at the table, picking up a pancake with his hands and eating it.

"I have forks you know." I roll my eyes

"Yeah but that's so much work." He smiles as he takes another bite

After we finish eating I follow him to the guest room so I can "help" him pack. I take a seat on the bed as he gathers his clothes thats been thrown around the room, folding it so it'll fit back in his bag.

"So glad you came in here to help." Gaege says as he puts away his last clothing item

"You didn't really ask me to help." I laugh

"Whatever." He rolls his eyes as he sits down next to me on the bed

I start to blush as his hand touches mine. My heart starts to beat fast as I lean in to kiss him. I close my eyes but quickly open them back up once I release that I'm not kissing his lips, i open my eyes to my lips kissing the back of his hand.

"I'm not kissing someone who didn't help me pack." He laughs as I pull away

"Fuck you." My face is burning out of embarrassment, I can only imagine how red my face is
