Under The Lights

Forty-three- Record Lee

I wake up on my side with Titans hand splayed over my bare stomach, his warm chest pressed against my back. His broken hand is outstretched under my head and it takes me a second to wake myself up. Detaching myself from his embrace is hard, his body is so warm i turn around and press my face against his chest. His body is like a heater and i feel myself falling back asleep until i hear the doorbell ring.

I ignore it at first hoping it will go away and nuzzle my face deeper into his pec. It's so squishy.

But the ringing persists and i groan, shaking Titan awake.

"Someone's at the door." I mumble.

He sits up and i half heartedly join him.

He rubs his eyes and murmurs something.

"Huh?" I yawn.

"I think it's your parents."

I snap my neck. "And why do you think that?"

He gives me a tired smile sticking his tongue out. "Payback for last night."

My mouth drops a little bit. "How did you contact them."

"It's a secret."

I glare at him. Having the urge to strangle him i turn away from him and drop down on the pillow. Now I'm going to have to deal with three people breathing down my neck.

I feel him lean down and wrap his arm around my body, planting kisses on my shoulder. "Don't be mad at me, I can't stand it."

I pinch his nose from over my shoulder and shake his face. "Ow." His voice is nasally as he keeps repeating it while I continue wiggling his head. "You're so annoying. Go grab me some clothes." I let go of his nose and push his face away from me.

I feel him get up from the bed and hear him open a couple of drawers. A minute later he comes to my side with an outfit in his hands and i snatch them from him before sitting up. The doorbell keeps ringing as I quickly get changed, struggling with my sweatpants as he just watches me. I imagine myself lunging at him and putting him in a chokehold and it makes me feel better.

I get up from the bed and Titans about to pick me up but i put my hands up. "Id rather crawl."

He frowns at my response as i hop to the wall and use it for support as i head towards the stairs. I feel him hovering close to me and i fight the urge to roll my eyes, I'm too annoyed to find him cute right now. "Go grab my phone from the nightstand."

I hear his footsteps move farther away as i take a seat on the edge of the first step. I start moving down it when i hear him come back and before I know it he's picking me up. "Hey! I can do it myself."

He holds me be the waist, my feet dangling as he carries me down the steps with one arm. "I can't watch you drag yourself down the stairs in good conscious."

I kick my legs in defiance. "Alright give me my crutches."

He still holds me up with his left arm as he walks to grab my crutches off the wall. He gently sets me down on the floor and hands them to me. I grab them from him as he puts my phone in my pocket, still sporting a sad face at my tone.

I walk over to the door glancing at the living room as i hop past it. "Grab my underwear off the floor and put a throw blanket over the couch."

The doorbell is still insensately ringing by the time i open the door. There stands my parents, my mother holding her purse as my dad stands there with a huge bag in his hands. My dad's darker than my mom but his eyes shine brighter than hers. He lights up when he sees me but its mixed with worry as he takes in my arms and leg.
