Chapter 14

Connor's POV

I lay awake, thinking and feeling guilty. I hated lying to Troye, I really did. But sometimes it's necessary. When I promised him I wouldn't take that job, I had meant it, at the time. But when the texts from Tyler began to come, I didn't have a choice. You're lucky I don't tell everyone. They would say. It's all your fault Troye's so stressed. I wanted to block the texts out, ignore them, but I couldn't. I knew it was my fault, I definitely didn't need to be reminded of that fact. I wiped my cheeks, getting rid of the tears falling down. I sniffled quietly, trying not to wake the boy sleeping next to me. But when I felt him roll over, I new it was too late.
"Con? Hey what's wrong?" He asked, concerned as he wrapped his arms around me. I shook my head as I snuggled into him.
"Nothing." I lied.
"Sure? You know i'm always here if you need to talk to me." He played with my hair as he spoke.
"I know." I said quietly. He nodded slightly, bringing me closer.
"Okay. Well try and get some sleep." He whispered. Snuggling closer I closed my eyes and tried to block the bad thoughts out, focusing on the amazing boy holding onto me as if his life depended on it.
"I-I love you Troye." I murmured into his chest. I felt his breathing hitch slightly at my quiet, almost silent, words.
"I love you more." He whispered in reply. Saying I love you was a big deal for me, I only said it to the right people, if I was 100% sure it was true, and in this case.....
It definitely was.

I woke up tangled in Troye's arms. They were wrapped protectively around me. It felt so nice to have someone that cared so much for me. But at the moment, I needed coffee. Gradually I started to untangle his arms. When they were finally off I got out of bed.
"Oh my god it's cold!" I squeal to myself, immediately covering my mouth. I looked around for something to put on, eventually deciding he wouldn't be too mad if I borrow his hoodie. I put it on and smiled at the warmth. Looking over at Troye I saw he hadn't moved an inch. Wow he really is a heavy sleeper. I thought to myself. Still giggling to myself I walked over to the door and opened it, trying my hardest not to make noise.
"Connor?" I heard Troye say sleepily. I turned around and smiled widely at him.
"Good morning!" I giggle walking back over to the bed and sitting on the side. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and yawned.
"You okay?" He asks, sitting up and kissing my cheek, I blush a little and try to hide it with the sleeve of my, or his, hoodie.
"I'm okay, did you sleep okay?" I giggle, still trying to hide my blush.
"Not too badly-wait, is that my hoodie?" He gestured to the hoodie I was still wearing.
"Maybe." I giggle, looking away.
"Connor." He says putting his hand on my cheek and moving my head so I was looking at him. I look into his beautiful, blue eyes. He leant in and kissed me, his movements were slow and careful because he was still sleepy from just waking up, but it was amazing none the less. He pulled away and smiled sweetly, resting our foreheads together.
"It looks cute on you, keep it if you want." He chuckled.
