Helping You Through This

CH.11 - Moved in

Gaege pov:

As the last box gets moved into the guest room I sigh, thankful that the movers will finally leave. I'm home alone, not because Eddie didn't want to help me unpack but because we didn't think that the movers we actually coming and his parents needed his help at their house. Early this morning I got a text saying that the movers might not be able to make it and coincidentally his mom needed help at home so I told him that I'm fine with being left here. Eddie felt bad at first, leaving me home alone. He offered to take me with him but we both agreed that it would look weird if he brought his "best friend" with him just to help fix a couple of things around the house. I can't blame him, he's not even out to his parents so pulling up with his boyfriend would be a big move. Anyways, the movers were actually able to come and I'm left to stress with this all alone. I could have called Eddie to come over and help but I don't want to bother him.

I'm sat in the guest room with all of my belongings. I decided to throw out some of the stuff that I knew that I wouldn't need so I don't have that much to unpack but it's still a lot. I start off with my clothes, I open the two boxes full of shit and slowly start to put my clothes in the closet. The last shirt that I take out is the one that I accidentally stole from Eddie. I smile before taking off my hoodie and putting it on. I decided to just get fully dressed, I mean I didn't change from my pajamas this morning so I might as well do it now.

Once that task is done I take out my computer stuff and set it all up. It took a few hours but I eventually got all of my recording equipment settled in. I then get to the harder part, my background stuff. My viewer still don't know that I've moved house and I still want my background to feel the same. I don't want to much of a change, I like the way I had it before. I know that it'll be hard to keep the same vibe because my stuff was practically in the hallway of my house but I'll still try.

3 hours...it took 3 hours to put all of my stuff away. I didn't even think I had that much stuff. I take all of the boxes and bring them into the living room, not sure where Eddie would want me to put them so I lay them off to the side where it won't look like too much of a mess. I walk back to my now recording room and sit at my desk, taking in the new room.

Eddie's pov:

I walk into the house, instantly noticing the empty boxes in the living room. Why are there boxes here? whatever. I walk upstairs and I hear Geage talking in the guest room. I slowly open the door and see that all of his stuff is out away and that he's recording a video. I gently shut the door and wait in the hallway for him to be done. It doesn't take long because after a few minutes I hear him do his outro. I reopen the door and walked into he room.

"Did the mover come?" I ask

Geage jumps before looking at me, holding his hand over his heart.

"Fuck, you scared me." He laughs
"Yeah they did, about an hour after you left."

"You should have called me. I would have came back to help."

"I didn't want to bother you."

"Imma pretend to not be mad at the fact my own boyfriend doesn't want my help and just say that I like how you fixed up the room." I smile before walking over to him

"Thanks." He pulls me into a hug
"How was it at your parents?"

"It was fine. I tried coming out to them but I chickened out.." I sigh
"But I did tell my sisters."

"You did?" He jumps out of his chair

"Y-yeah." I smile
"They told me that they always knew that something was up between us. I guess they knew I was gay before I did."

"I'm so proud of you!" He pulls me into a kiss

Once our lips separate I look him up and down. I noticed a few red cuts on his wrist causing me to frown.

"What wrong?" Gaege tilts his head

"Your wrist." I almost whisper, scared of what he did when I was gone

Gaege looks down and sees the cuts, quickly looking back up at me.

"I didn't do anything! I think one of the boxes cut me."

I instantly calm down.

"Oh, okay. Sorry for getting all worried." I laugh

"I know that you probably don't trust what I say but I'm being honest i-" he looks up at me confused
"Did you just say sorry?"

"Yeah? I shouldn't have just assumed that. The scratch is just so deep, one of them is bleeding. Let me get you a bandaid."

He still looks at me confused before he starts laughing.

"Fuck, your perfect." He rests his head on my chest

"I know that I'm perfect but uh, why do you think that?"

"You're just so understanding. Past relationships would just think that I'm lying for attention." He lets go of the hug

"Well I'm not like you're past relationships." I smile before dragging him to the bathroom

I open the medicine cabinet and take out a bandaid before putting it on the cut. I give it a quick kiss, causing Gaege to blush.

"Also, nice top." I smirk, noticing that he's wearing one of my shirts
"I was wondering where that went."

"Shut up!" He try's to hide his blushing face
"It's the one I accidentally took."

"Sure, accidentally." I laugh as I leave the bathroom

"It's, true!" He runs after me

He chases me down the hall, into the living room. He tackles me into the couch, sitting on my lap.

"Did you eat already?" I ask

"...Yeah."

"Okay, then let's go to bed."

Gaege drags me to our room before leaving. He walks back in with a fresh set of pajamas.

"Imma take a shower." He smiles

"Without me?" I joke

"You can join me if you want." He winks before shutting the bathroom door

I'm left sat on my bed blushing like crazy. I shake any thoughts of sharing a shower with him out if my head before standing up and getting changed.

Once Gaege is done with his shower he crawls up next to me in bed, giving me a quick kiss before falling asleep. I cuddle up next to him, also falling asleep.
