I'll Be Your Light In The Darkness [brustoff]

Chapter Eleven

Denis POV
I woke up the next day still in Ben's bunk. I shuffled to get closer to Ben but I was just welcomed by emptiness. I opened my eyes properly to see that Ben wasn't in the bunk.

Images of last night flashed in my mind. Oh my god did I really make out with Ben?! Crap what is it between us now? Will things be awkward?

"DENIS GET THE FUCK OUT OF BED!!" Shouted James as he pulled the curtain of the bunk. "You alright mate? Something on your mind?" He asked with concern.

"Yeah but it's nothing important" I said as I climbed out of Ben's bunk. I walked into the lounge to see Ben and Cam on the Xbox and Sam watching them. I grabbed a bowl sitting at the table before pouring myself a bowel of Lucky Charms.

As I was eating thought of Ben appeared in my mind. I thought about a lot of things such as him kissing me and...other things.

I felt a heat rise to my cheeks and decided I needed a cold shower to cool down. Quickly stepping in I gasped as the cold water gushed on me but it did the trick. My body began to adjust to the cold temperature and I began to feel more comfortable.

Suddenly I heard the door creak open "hello?" I said
"It's only me I'm just brushing my teeth" replied Ben.
"And besides I need to talk to you anyway...about last night" he continued.
"S-sure"
"You don't feel awkward about last night do you?" He asked.

"N-no not at all" I replied stuttering a little.
"Just making sure I don't really want to mess up the friendship we have"
I felt like something stabbed into my heart it's fucking hurt.
"Of course yeah I don't want to ruin our friendship either" I muttered.

"Ok I'll see you outside" he said as I heard him leave.
That's when I felt water trickle down my face but it wasn't water...it was tears. I bit my lip as it began to quiver and whimpers escaped from my mouth. 

Ben POV:
As I left the bathroom I felt like I made a mistake. To be honest I really liked Denis as more than a friend but I couldn't face another heartbreak after Danny.

"Hey you ok Ben did you see Denis naked?" Asked James joking.
I chuckled a little before speaking "James I need advice!" I confessed.

"Alright what about?" He asked sitting at the table.
"Well....remember me telling you about me dating Danny...well I like someone else...but I don't want to ruin the friendship we have but I really like him" I explained.

"Well I think if you think it will work you should just go for it" he responded.
"It's Denis" I confessed.
"Like I said you should go for it and if things didn't work out Denis is still passionate about the band Danny wasn't which is why Danny didn't stay and to be honest I think Denis likes you".

I realised I made a mistake. Oh my god imagine how much I hurt Denis. I quickly ran into the bathroom without even knocking. First thing I heard was quiet sobs behind the shower curtain.

"Denis....are you alright?" I asked with concern.
"I-I-I'm fine I just...banged my head I'm just being a wimp" he lied.

"Well that's a lie isn't it?...look I came back in because I'm stupid of course I don't want to be just your friend I want to be more than your friend I really like you Denis! I was just worried that you would leave me like Danny did but of course your not...when I kissed you I didn't feel weird or strange or wrong...I really like you Denis and I understand if you say no but will you be my boyfriend?" I confessed.

I looked as Denis reacted his hand and grabbed the towel on the wrack. Before pulling the curtain back. His eyes were red and puffy and he had a towel wrapped his waist. He looked really attractive I tried my hardest to pay attention to his face.

He looked at me with a smile before nodding "yes I'll be your boyfriend" he smiled before wrapping his arms around me for a hug. I hugged him tightly before leaning down to kiss him.

"I'll leave you to get dressed I'll be outside" I said before kissing him again and walking out of the bathroom and out of the bus.

I smiled to myself without looking were I was going I bumped into someone. I looked up to see someone who I never would have expected to see.

"Danny?"
