And I would offer every breath of life I've claimed... (Timids + Keveridge)

Chapter Thirteen.

Chapter Thirteen.

Kier's POV

I slowly opened my eyes, quinting from the sunlight coming through a gap in the curtains. I was still in Laurence's embrace - he's a cuddler! I looked up at him through my messy red fringe. He looked like he was smiling in his sleep. It was a great feeling knowing that I was the one who put that smile on his adorable little face.

I couldn't help but think about my ex-girlfriend and why we didn't break up sooner. If only I'd have known back then...

I pushed away a stray piece of Laurence's hair from his face, causing him to stir.  

His eyelashes fluttered a little and he awoke. He smiled at me and kissed my head.

"Good morning, Beautiful"

I whispered.

Wow, you have no idea how long I've waited to be able to say that to Laurence. 

He pulled me closer to him and smiled at me, sighed and all went silent.

Why can't he just believe me?

The silence was broken by Laurence speaking.

"Kier, can I ask you something?"

"Um, sure"

"I really don't mean to offend you but, last night, you said you'd loved me for a few years. If that's true, why did you stay with your girlfriend?"

"Laurence, I HAVE loved you for years, but I was too afraid to come forward and tell you because I always thought you were just messing around when you'd hug me and stuff. It was all the 'messing around' that made me fall in love with you but I never thought you'd actually love me back. So I didn't tell you. I was only with my girlfriend as a sort of cover-up, so I could try and hide that fact that I'd fallen completely and utterly in love with you."

Laurence just laid there and looked into my eyes. He looked like he was tearing up slightly, but finally he spoke.

"And now you know why I 'messed around' so much. It was because, as creepy as this might come across, I've always jumped at any oppertunity to be close to you, to touch you, because I too had fallen in love."

I looked up at Laurence, his amazing green eyes still almost teary and his jet black hair starting to fall across his face. I pushed it away from his face and leaned up to kiss him. Our lips brushed against each other's at first until he leaned down a little further.

This was amazing. After all this time of loving him, I can finally kiss him...as much as I want.

~short time lapse~

We were both dressed and ready for the day. We wre going to tell the guys that we were together, after all, there isn't really that much point in hiding it.

Laurence took my hand, lead me down the hallway and into the living room where the guys were sat eating breakfast. As soon as we both appeared around the door, hand-in-hand, the timids ran up to us and embraced us both. Once they had both let go, they both said in unison,

"It's about bloody time!"

Pointing to mine and Laurence's interlocked fingers. I guess the guys had noticed the messing around and figured we we're meant to be. Me and Laurence were the only ones obviously blind to this!

Luke emerged from the kitchen with cups of tea for us all (Jesus Christ we drink a lot of tea), and handed mine and Laurence, ours.

We sat down on the sofa together, our fingers still entwined. I leaned over and kissed Laurence's cheek lovingly and a chorus of "awww"'s travelled through the room. This caused a blush to form on my Laurence's cheeks...

Ah...I guess I can say it now, can't I? He is my Laurence...finally.

(A/N: So I guess that's it! but don't worry, if you enoyed it you'll be glad to know that I'm gonna write a prequel and possibly a squel to the (what will be two) fanfics!
