Sock stared into the window. Jonathan lay inside, sleeping alone in his bed. His parents were gone for the weekend. It was cold and rainy, the smells shouting a new spring rain.
Sock pressed his face on the cold window and smiled. He knew he could simply pass through it, he choose to look through the window instead. Jonathan turned slightly in his sleep. How Sock wished he was next to him, how he wished he was living, his heart beating and his lungs filling with new air. He wanted to feel his stomach flip, he wanted to feel for Jonathan. He wished he could just touch him...just be in close range. He was so happy with jonathan! Sock could tell that he always seemed to smile a bit more, jonathan had changed since the first time they met. Sock wanted jonathan's love, he needed it. If only he were living! To feel the soft skin of another! He craved just to brush jonathans face...to caress his arm, to show appreciation.
He passed through the window.
"Jonathan?" Sock questioned the sleeping teenager.
Jonathan grunted and turned on his side.
Sock whispered "if only you were mine...." he left jonathan sleeping, ready to find mephostophiles. He had to.
Mephi was in the kitchen.
"Hey sowachowski, heard you've been thinkin about me?" Mephi looked at his nails and flashed a smile.
"Um..yeah.." stuttered sock
"I want to be alive again. I have to."
Mephostophiles stopped looking at his nails and gawked at sock.
"Do you think I'm magical or something?!" Mephostophiles couldn't believe what he just heard!
"Uh...kinda? I just need to live again...please, I only ask of this!" Socks deep need for being alive for Jonathan grew more and more.
"Only for this weekend, I still need my demon back" mephostophiles knew that sock could use a break, he didn't exactly know why he wanted to live again, but he was ready to give sock this.
Sock was ready! He wanted to be jonathan's...even if it was for this short time.
Sock woke up on the ground.
His lungs rushed with cool air, making him gasp. Air! He was breathing! His heart throbbed to a beautiful rhythm he thought he would never hear again. The glorious racket it made in his chest! He got up, ready to try and stand once more. He fell back down, his scarf falling off, making him slightly trip. He tried once more until he got it. He walked down jonathan's familiar hallway. He peeked in through jonathans door, slowly walking his way over. The plush soft carpet was no match for socks boots, making deep imprints of his boots. He took them off, trying to be quiet.
"Um..Jonathan?" Sock slightly poked him.
"wHAT?" Jonathan jumped up, what had touched him? He had heard sock, and next thing he knew, he was poked! Jonathan looked wildly about, finally resting his eyes on sock. He reached out his arm...slowly....
"So you're really alive now?"
Sock and jonathan sat cross-legged on jonathan's bed.
"Yeah! I-I kinda did it for you...." sock trailed off, biting his lip in a pouty manner.
"Really?" Jonathan couldn't believe it...he did it for him? He blushed slightly in a untimid manner, trying not to show.
"Yeah, I just...really wanna be with you"
They sat in silence, sock staring hard at his boots sitting on the ground. He didn't want to look at jonathan...what was going to happen next? Everything seemed so soft and malleable, so shaky yet calm like a pool of water before drops broke the surface. He looked up slowly at jonathan. Jonathan was looking right at him, right at sock. Jonathan reached out very slowly and grabbed socks hand. His hands were soft and youthful feeling. Sock blushed, flustered, and smiled at jonathan.
"I feel a bit better now-" sock was beyond better! He felt his stomach flip, his urge of love to jonathan was strong. He couldn't believe that jonathan possibly loved him back!
"Sock...I really like you. You changed my life, you make me happy. You're the kind of guy I want around all the time even if it seems like I don't." Jonathan was looking away, trying not to make full eye contact. Sock was ecstatic!
"J-jonathan? You really think that about me? Without you in my after life...I don't know what I would do. But now I'm alive, and I'm here with you." Sock slowly leaned closer to jonathan. He rested his head on his chest, listening to his heart beat.
"And finally we can touch."
Jonathan tugged socks hat off.
"You're always so cute with your hat hair, sowachowski"
"I like that about you"
Sock just snuggled closer to him, breathing in his scent. Jonathan leaned back on his bed and pulled sock close. They layed there, finally together at last.
