My Little pet

ch.5

ZANDER'S POV
"OK so the old Lady told a new born that if he fell in love his bones would implode, then he was 10 and he told a girl he'd rip her clothes off with his teeth and turn it into confetti, then he dies at the age of 15..."
"...yeah pretty much." I said taking a seat on the couch next to him
"Tim Burton?"
"No its mathius something or another."
"It has a rather.. dark feeling to it."
"Yeah, that's why I like it. I like things that have a darkness to them." I said looking down.
"So you like Edgar Allen Poe?" He asks smiling at me.
"Like is an understatement." I laughed a bit.
"Hey you wanna go out somewhere tomorrow?" He said looking up at the ceiling.
"Like where?" I asked curious we were very far from my hometown so I didn't really know what was here.
" I have an idea and I'm sure you'd love it; it's about a day and a half away from here."
"Uh... sure.. it's not like I have anything better to do." I said as I got up "I'm going to head to bed."
" Do you want some pajamas?" He said as he got up and we both started walking down the hallway.
"Uh.." I look down."yes, if you don't mind."
"Come into my room and I'll get you some." He said as I followed him into his room. I sat on his bed and watched him go through his drawers.
He grabbed a baggy shirt and handed it to me.
"You can change in my bathroom while I find you some pants." I made my way to the bathroom and put the obviously baggy long sleeved shirt on. It went about an inch over my hands and all the way to my knees. I walked out of the bathroom when I heard Hayden knock. He was just stating at me.
"Um... well I don't think I need pants." I said and looked down. When I looked back up Hayden had a huge grin and his face was all red. "Uh... you OK?"
"Huh?" He looked up coming out of a daze. "O-oh um... yeah." I took a step closer.
" are you sure?" I said and he took a step back.
"Y- yeah."
"Your face is all red... are you sure you're not running a fever?"
"Uh yeah... that's probably what it is." "Come here let me check." I said taking a step closer. I remembered when I was sick my mother would put her lips to my forehead to see if I was running a fever or not. So I grabbed his face and had to stand on my toes to reach; I put my lips to his forehead.
"Well you're warm but you're not running a fever." I said letting go of his face. Only to find a wide eyed Hayden staring off into the distance. I stared at him, waved my hands, snapped... and nothing he just stood there like a statue... so I tested him so to speak. I hugged him, tickled him and still nothing... only one thing left to try.
HAYDEN'S POV
I saw him... in my shirt.... he looked so cute I couldn't not stare at him. Next thing I knew he took a step closer and I could feel my heart beating fast. He wanted to check my temperature because he noticed my face was all red.
Next thing I knew his lips were on my forehead.I didn't know how to react but when he let go of my face I froze. I sort of blacked out after that... like my attention was else where but at the same time it wasn't.
My attention went back to him after a bit; I looked at him and he had his eyes shut and his lips out. He started moving closer... was he going to kiss me?! I started feeling panicky because my body still felt frozen like I couldnt move anything. He was inches away from my face; I could feel him breathing. Out of nowhere my hands landed on his cheeks as if I was pushing air out of his mouth.
His eyes flickered open and we both stared at each other; I let go of his face and turned around.
"Good night." Was all I could manage to say. As soon as I heard his foot steps leave my room I went to shut my door. I slid down, my back against the door. Was-was I starting to fall for this kid? Nah... I brushed it off but the thought remained in my head.
I headed to my bed and stayed up thinking about everything that happened since I brought him here. I smiled through it all. Eventually I passed out.
