Laurelle and Shaun left the next day during the afternoon, taking Sage and Tyde with them to be dropped off to their respective friend's houses.
Troye and Connor stood at the front door waving goodbye; they walked back into the house.
"So...what you wanna do now?" Troye asked.
"Dunno, what do you wanna do now."
"Movie and popcorn?" Troye's answer was Connor rushing to the kitchen and grabbing a bag of popcorn and placing it in the microwave. While Troye decided on a movie in the living room.
Connor sat next to Troye, bowl of popcorn in hand to which he placed between them. They started to movie, Juno. Troye paused the movie quickly to explain to Connor why he loved it so much, Connor smiled at the beam in his eyes as he spoke about his favourite movie, listening intently. They started the movie and a bit into it, the popcorn was close to finished. Troye set the bowl on the floor and looked to Connor, who was intently staring at the image on the screen.
"Con?"
"Hmm?"
"There is something we weren't able to do with everyone here, but now that we are alone..."
"What might that be Troye boy?" Connor said, Troye shuffled over to Connor. They then cuddled next to one another and watched the rest of the movie in each other's arms.
As the credits rolled, the two boys looked to one another smiling. They stared into each other eyes and felt everything around them slow down. They both leaned in and their eyes fell shut. Their lips collided; both could barely comprehend what was going on. It was soft, and sweet. It was also short but both were okay with that and smiled back at one another after the brief connection.
"Hey," Connor whispered with a soft smile.
"Hey," Troye whispered back, they smiled at each and gazed deeply into each other's orbs.
"Can we do that again maybe?" Connor asked in a childlike manner. His answer was Troye connecting their lips once again; this kiss was deeper and filled with passion. Troye held Connor's shirt tight while Connor's hands tugged at Troye's curls. Troye pulled away first, needing to catch his breath. Connor giggled seeing Troye struggle slightly for breath.
They spent the rest of the night raiding the kitchen for snacks and watching movies, giving each other sneaky kisses and cuddling, soon it was midnight. Connor looked down to his lap to see Troye's sleeping, serene face, he had also then just realised he was sub consciously playing with Troye's soft curls the entire time. He pulled Troye up against his chest and lifted him up, just for Troye to wrap his legs around Connor's waist and snake his arms around Connor's neck. Connor giggled at how adorable Troye was at that moment as Troye buried his head into the crook of the older boy's neck and carried Troye again, up the stairs to go to bed.
Connor set Troye down on the bed and pulled the sheets over him. He gave him a kiss on the forehead, then as he was going to pull away to go to his mattress he was surprised to feel his face being pulled back by Troye's cold hands. Connor half gasped at the temperature of them and half from fright as he thought Troye was asleep.
"Stay please," Troye said kind of sleepily. Connor did not hesitate to get under the covers and cuddle with Troye. The small boy laid his head on Connor's chest and tangled his legs with the older boy.
"Hey Tro?"
"Hmm?"
"Were you even asleep?" Connor's answer was Troye giggling, like when a small child was caught by their parents drawing on the walls with their wax crayons. Connor laughed at Troye. "And those other times?" Troye giggled again. Connor laughed at his adorableness and tightened his arms around Troye's waist.
