Ian's POV

I slowly sat up and looked around. I yawned, quickly shutting my mouth as I felt my nose sting immensely. I slowly stood up and coughed softly. I took a deep breath and bit my lip gently. "Anthony? You here?" I yelled groggily.

I blinked quickly and wiped the sleep out of my eyes and stretched slightly, immediately stopping as I felt another sting of pain light up my chest. I sighed and walked up the stairs and looked around. "Anthony?" I yelled again.

I checked his room and saw no Anthony. I checked my mom and his dad's room, no Anthony. I started getting worried and checked all around the house and quickly got out my phone to text him.

'Anthony where are you?!' I texted quickly. I pouted and sat down on the floor and bit my lip nervously. I snapped my head over to the front door as I heard the door knob jiggling slightly. I gasped and quickly covered my face and felt my breathing pace pick up.

I closed my eyes tightly and pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them tightly as the door slowly opened. I felt tears fall out of my eyes and footsteps walking over to me. "Please don't hurt me!" I yelled, nervously.

I heard a small chuckle and a hand ruffle my hair. "Ian, what the fuck are you talking about?" Anthony's voice, asked me jokingly. I slowly looked up and saw him smiling down at me. "Y-You weren't home... I thought the boogie man got you.." I whispered.

He laughed and gripped one of my hands and pulled me up. "Ian, you know the boogie man's not real... right?" He asked me, laughing slightly. I know it's not.. but. still. "Shut up.." I mumbled. He smiled softly and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I got breakfast.." He whispered.

I quickly perked up and grinned. "You did?" I asked, still grinning widely. He nodded and held up the bag with a giant yellow 'M' on the bag. I laughed and nudged him gently.

He sat the bag on the table and dug out two sausage egg biscuits and some tater tots. I grinned widely and picked up a biscuit and quickly unwrapped it and took a large bite out of it. "Mmm!" I moaned out of deliciousness.

He grinned at me as I picked up a tater tot and stuffed it in my mouth along with the large bite of biscuit. "Tank chu or the breakast!" I said, muffled by the food. He nodded, laughing at my lack of language.

I blushed slightly and swallowed the food and grinned widely. "This is delicious!" I said. He laughed again, taking the last bite of his biscuit. I took the last few bites and chewed them quickly, stuffing more tater tots into my mouth.

"Geeze, Cookie Monster!" He said, watching me gobble down all the food. I giggled, swallowing the last tater tot and sighed happily. "That was damn delicious!" I clapped.

He chuckled, walking over to the refrigerator and getting out the jug of orange juice and two glasses. I sat down in a seat and kicked my feet slightly. "How long have I been sleeping?" I asked concerned.

"Only a few hours, you were pretty tired from yesterday." He said, smirking. I blushed slightly and furrowed my eyebrows. "Tired?... from what.." I asked, slightly squinting at him.

He laughed again and walked over to me with the two glasses. "Tired from getting your ass kicked yesterday at school." He said, taking a drink of the juice. I sighed and laid on my arms and closed my eyes. "Why can't you just... fight them..." I mumbled.

I felt two fingers under my chin and then it being lifted up to meet his gaze. "I can... and I will.. on Monday. I promise." He said, looking directly into my eyes and smiling softly. I kept my gaze into his and felt my cheeks heat up immensely as he slowly leaned in.

I widened my eyes as he connected our lips and wrapped his arms around my waist. I quickly closed my eyes and kissed him back softly.

He scooted closer to me and moved his hands down slightly and slid me onto his lap, not breaking the kiss. He gently bit my lip, causing me to moan quietly. He slowly yanked on the hem of my shirt, making me quickly break the kiss and shake my head quickly.

"A-Anthony... I.. I'm not ready yet.." I whispered softly. He smiled warmly and gently pet my cheek. "That's okay, angel.." He said, stroking my hair slowly. I smiled slightly and slowly leaned down and laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes.

He ran his fingers through my hair and sighed happily yet softly. "I love you.." He whispered. I smiled softly and snuggled up to him. "I love you too.." I whispered back.
