A/N: so. The answers in this chapter from each of them will not all be accurate. I know most of it, but I'm kinda going with what I think will be cute for this fic, and anything that I don't know, I don't feel like figuring out. Maybe I'll go back later on and correct things and whatever. Haha. Enjoy<3
We had been lying there in silence for a good ten minutes when I looked at the clock which read 10:14PM.
"What's your favorite color" I asked Austin suddenly. He rolled over and we were facing each other. He reached out and ran his fingers through my hair, grinning.
"Midnight blue" he replied simply. I pushed his chest forgetting about his injury and he winced. I gasped and threw my hand over my mouth.
"Oh shit I'm sorry" I apologized.
"Oh, it's okay" he groaned dramatically. "Just one step closer to death" he sighed, throwing he back of his hand to his forehead.
"Yeah yeah" I laughed. "Y'know, I'm so damn glad that half a heart worked. Id be a mess." I told him as I stared at him.
"Yeah. I'm glad it worked too. Id be dead" he joked.
"Yeah, doofus. Then what would I do!" I exclaimed, leaning forward and kissing his forehead. He tilted his head and kissed along my jaw gently, and running his fingers through my hair along the nape of my neck. "Quit acting like it doesn't matter" I pouted. "Because it does" I told him, cuddling closer.
"Yeah I know, because if it wouldn't have worked, I would have. . . Well you know, without you knowing how amazing you are" he said sweetly, kissing my jaw again lightly.
"You're too sweet for your own good" I told him quietly.
Silence enveloped us once again as we continued to lay there innocently, holding hands and staring at the ceiling.
"What's YOUR favorite color?" He asked me suddenly.
"Green" I answered slightly confused.
"Food?" He asked
"Definitely lasagna" I told him.
"Animal" he kept on
"Cats" I replied
"TV show" he squeezed my hand gently
"I don't really have one" I told him
"500 is your favorite movie" he said casually
"Yeah" I agreed "what are you asking me all this for?" I asked.
"I want to know you inside and out" he answered.
"Well you better start answering some too!" I told him. "I'm gonna know you better than the palm of my hand" I exclaimed, letting go of his hand and rolling over so I was laying on my stomach right next to him. "Do you think you're healed up enough for me to lay on you a bit more" I asked, laughing at myself.
"Of course baby" he answered, shifting as I scooted further up onto his chest. He pulled me further so I was almost completely on top of him. I laid my chin on my arms and looked at him.
"So. Favorite color is midnight blue. Favorite food? Animal? TV show? Movie?ll" I told him.
"Midnight blue. Dogs. TV series aren't really my thing. And you better know my favorite movie." He told me, his chest rumbling with laughter.
"Star Wars" I said confidently.
For hours, we went on asking each other questions and answering and I felt so much closer to him. It got a bit personal and we ended up sharing a few tight hugs and shedding a few tears, which was totally cool with me. Night set in and we cuddled up under the electric blanket and slept soundly. I had a minor nightmare, and I remembered it this time. I had been trapped in a house with some sort of creatures and I was fighting them off. I had almost survived when I went to shoot the last one and I was out of ammo for my gun. Sounds like some Resident Evil shit right?
Austin kissed all over my face and promised he'd protect me and was being all sweet and nice. I didn't have a hard time falling back asleep.
<Skip to next school day>
Austin and I were walking down the hall, and I still felt bad about yesterday's events. He was once again quiet and tense seeming. Especially when he saw Jenna ahead. He stepped further away from me but continued walking beside me, not getting too far ahead or falling way behind. Jenna was staring at us hard, and I knew it annoyed Austin and got him angry. I cared about him a lot and I was tired of doing this to him, so before I could talk myself out of it, I scooted over to him and as he went to distance himself again I grabbed his hand. We were almost directly in front of Jenna now. Holding hands. I held his tightly since I was a bit terrified. He tried to pull away from me but I looked up at him sadly and he stopped for a moment. That gave me time to say and do what I needed.
She stared in shock as her eyes travelled to our hands.
"Yep" I said, assuring her of the question she was probably asking in her head. I turned to Austin who looked surprised at this point.
"Austin, you're wonderful, and I wish Jenna wasn't so damn dense, because then she would understand how much you mean to me, and why I'm about to do this" I told him
His eyes clouded with confusion as he looked down at me. I took his other hand in my free one and smiled at him. "About to do wh-" and before he could finish, I had pulled him down just enough to press my lips to his. I deepened the kiss and let go of one of his hands to pull him closer to me. He devoured my lips hungrily as tongues got involved. I pulled away as I ran out of breath and grinned at a shocked Jenna.
"I told you how much he meant to me" I told her simply. Austin had his arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him with a huge goofy grin on his face.
"He told me how much you meant to him too" said Aaron's voice from behind me. I spun around and stared at him.
"I don't care if anyone else hates me for this. I also know you didn't want me to be friends with Austin. Neither did Tino and Phil. I'm just hoping you'll be a decent person about this. I know you have a good heart you just don't always put it to good use" I told him quietly.
"I'm totally cool" he said softly as Jenna began to ramble in the background. She was old news at this point. "I was a douche. I made the wrong call and I was completely in the wrong and I deserve to get decked. I'm truly sorry" he apoke, glancing between us both. "I can't fix it, I can only apologize. So I hope you're willing to at least be civil with me although I've given you absolutely no incentive to" he said.
"You're decent enough to man up and apologize. That's good enough for me" spoke Austin, catching Aaron off guard. Aaron hesitantly offered his hand for a handshake. I fidgeted nervously as Austin contemplated how to respond. He smiled lightly as Aaron's hand started to fall and he stepped forward. Aaron's eyes widened a tiny bit and he backed up a few steps. Austin laughed quietly and stepped forward again, opening his arms for a hug. He grabbed Aaron and hugged him and a smile spread across my face.
I smiled at Aaron widely and opened my arms up for a hug. Aaron's eyes seemed to sparkle as he lunged forward and hugged me tightly. "I'm sorry" he spoke quietly in my ear as we buried our heads in each other's shoulders. I hugged him even tighter and my feet left the ground for a moment.
"I missed you" I admitted.
"I missed you too" he whispered. "A ton" he added.
We walked away, flat out ignoring Jenna. News spread like wildfire but the day wet moderately well, we just had eyes on us constantly, and a few nasty words and nasty looks. Most people kept to themselves since Austin was still a scary fucker, but others didn't. It didn't affect me though. We had each other and I was looking forward to being able to say that for a long, long time.
