Back To The Beginning // Dylan O'Brien

vii. happy

I woke up in the same position that I fell asleep in.

Dylan's arm over me, his hand holding mine.

It's actually really comforting to wake up next to someone. Whether it's your best friend or a guy, it makes you feel safe. To me it does anyway. It also reminds me of commitment, as if they were committed to make sure you didn't wake up alone. And I liked that.

I let go of Dylan's hand and turned around to face him, leaving his arm around me and I took in his appearance, his brown hair was messed up but in a cute way. His lips were curled into a faint smile.

He carefully pulled me a little closer, which I found cute, but I could still focus on his pretty face.

I just sat there for a while, just taking in his face, his beautiful face.

Okay just because I say his face is beautiful, doesn't automatically mean that I like him. I can appreciate peoples beauty without having a crush on them and it's about time people realise it.

Around ten minutes went by, at least that's what it felt like, and I was still staring at his face. I mean come on have you seen his face? You could stare at it forever.

He moved a little bit, pulling me closer so his lips were near my ear. "You do realise that I can practically feel you staring at me?" He whispered.

Well that's awkward. I've casually been staring at him for like half an hour and he's known. I don't know how to react, so I decided to act cool. "Not that you're complaining or anything." I said. "How long have you been awake for?"

We moved a little bit away, so our faces were only a couple of centimetres away.

"Probably ever since you turned around to face me," he replied.

Okay so he's known that I've been staring at him for like half an hour and he's done nothing about it. Although, that means he was awake when he pulled me closer. Awh cute.

"So are we gonna stay like this or are we gonna move?" I asked, not exactly wanting to move.

"Lets stay like this for a while," He mumbled, snuggling into me a bit.

I'm scared that I'm moving to quickly. I mean I don't like him or anything, and he doesn't like me I'm pretty sure, but here we are snuggling in bed like we're hopelessly in love even though I just had a really big fight with my ex boyfriend like 2 days ago.

I know I'm going to regret this later, but currently I don't care. Dylan makes me feel all warm and snuggly inside, but that doesn't mean I like him right? I don't have any experience in warm and snuggly. I only know fear.

So I decided to ignore my feelings and sit and snuggle with Dylan.

Best friends snuggle right?

I mean currently, I only have three friends so I guess I classify Dylan and Tyler my best friends.

But I can snuggle with Dylan without having a crush on him right?

What if I do like him and I'm completely ignoring it?

"What are you thinking about?" Dylan asks.

"How did you know I was thinking about something?" I ask. It was cute how he knew though.

"Your eyebrows are scrunched together and I can feel your heartbeat," He replied.

"Awh that's cute, but it's nothing," I say to him.

"Leeeaaahhhh, you know you can tell me anything," He said to me.

"That's the thing, I've known you for what? 4 days and I trust you with my life and I'm snuggling in bed with you," I explained.

He started to slowly move away from me, but I pulled him closer.

"No, please, but this is the thing, I like cuddling and I like being able to trust you but I'm just scared."

"Scared about what?"

"What if I fall for you? And then I get my heartbroken and then I lose one of the only friends I have?" I explain, sounding worried.

He pulled me closer, practically hugging me.

"It'll be okay Lea, I won't hurt you," He whispered in my ear.

I wrapped my arms around him, holding onto him by his shoulders.

We sat there for a while, just sitting in a hug while he hummed a random song.

He moved his hand and started playing with my hair, twirling it around with his finger.

"You know, I never really thought I'd end up doing something like this," Dylan spoke up, after ten minutes.

"Really and why's that?" I asked quietly, enjoying this cute little moment with him.

"I don't know, I've always wanted to, but I just never really pictured it actually happening," he replied.

"Well I'm glad that I'm the one you're doing something like this with," I said to him.

I turned back around, my back to him, and we went back into the position we started with. He put his arm over me and held my hand, except this time we were a lot closer, I could feel his body on mine.

I smiled, feeling his chest rise on my back, and I realised that I was happy.

I was lying in bed, with a good looking guy that I met 4 days ago, and I was happy.
