EDEN - Wake Up

"Was this all worth it?" Craig asks as he places the plates on the desk. "Was what worth it? The blood?" Tyler responds with his own question, lacing his fingers with Craig's. "Marcel. And your beatings. And me getting shot." Craig quietly, looking at his lap. Tyler rolls on top of Craig and kisses him deeply, pushing himself against the smaller. "Every fucking drop of blood was worth it." Tyler decides, kissing Craig again and smiling as Craig kisses back with just as much passion. "How long have we known eachother?" Tyler asks, looking down at Craig. "I don't know. Half a year maybe." Craig replies, holding Tyler's wrists. "And that's all I need to convince myself that I love you." Tyler purrs, kissing Craig softly. "Have you ever watched the sunset?" Tyler asks, kissing Craig's jawline lightly. "It's the middle of the day." Craig chuckles, and Tyler laughs before shrugging. "Just trying to plan the evening." He then smirks, dragging his teeth along Craig's collar bone. "I'd do anything for, or with, you."

"As would I." Craig smiles with as slight blush on his face, holding Tyler's face in order to kiss him. Tyler smiles and kisses back, tracing Craig's bottom lip with his tounge slowly, with a smirk. Craig blushes but opens his mouth, holding back a moan as Tyler dominates the kiss. "Tyler." Craig giggles breathlessly, gripping Tyler's shoulders. "My back hurts." He sighs, and Tyler's eyes soften. "Fuck I'm sorry, are you okay?" Tyler quickly gets off of Craig and makes him sit up, checking his bandages and worrying like the fool he is. "Tyler, it's fine. Calm down, it just stings a little bit. I need to rest, that's all." Craig smiles, kissing Tyler's cheek. Tyler lays next to Craig, pulling him close and smiling. "I'll carry you to the roof tonight, and we'll watch the stars. Forget the world." Tyler decides, and Craig nods before closing his eyes. "I'd like that."

Tyler plays with Craig's hair, smiling and pulling him close. Craig rests his head on Tyler's shoulder, hugging him tightly. Tyler tilts Craig's chin up and kisses him like he's drowning and Craig kisses back, gripping Tyler's shoulder. "I know I'm hot but I'm tired." Craig smirks, and Tyler rolls his eyes before wrapping his arm around Craig. "Then sleep."

"Stay.." Craig mumbles, hiding his face in Tyler's neck. "I'd never leave." Tyler smiles, kissing the side of Craig's head. "This is right where I belong." Tyler adds, tightening his grip on Craig, smiling softly. "You're amazing, Tyler. I love you more then anything." Craig hums, and Tyler smiles at the praise. "You're just as wonderful. Now sleep, or I will make sure the guys know you're mine." Tyler smirks, and Craig groans. "Fuck you." He mutters, and Tyler laughs. "I mean, if you want." He smirks, and Craig blushes before shutting his mouth and eyes. "You are one in a million, Wildcat.. One in a million...." Craig mumbles, and Tyler smiles while pulling Craig even closer. "I try." He chuckles, kissing Craig's hair. "I love you Mini." Tyler whispers as Craig's breathing grows heavy but shallow.

Craig mumbles small phrases in his sleep, clinging onto Tyler tightly. Tyler kisses Craig's hair again in a small attempt to calm him, to no success. Craig whimpers in his sleep, his fingers and legs twitching against Tyler's body. "Craig... shush.. it's alright.." Tyler whispers, locking his fingers in the back of Craig's hair. "I'm right here... I'll keep you safe... I'm fine, Mini.. we're fine..." Tyler purrs, and slowly, Craig seems to calm down. He still seems fast asleep, the softest of snores escaping his mouth along mumbles and heavy breathing against Tyler's skin. "I did....." Craig mumbles, and Tyler feels the smaller smile against his skin. "..he's okay...." Craig slurs, tightening his grip on Tyler protectively. "..yes Amelia...." Craig hums, and Tyler is taken back by his mother's name coming from his boyfriends lips.

"He's safe..." Craig grumbles, his lips ghosting over Tyler's collar bone. "I'm fine Craig.. we're both okay..." Tyler smiles, kissing Craig's hair again. Tyler wishes he could enter Craig's dream and help him, confirm that he's okay, but instead he sits, clinging to Craig, battling to stay awake. He listens to Craig's mumbles, making out phrases here and there. Tyler yawns and pulls Craig closer, smiling to himself as Craig mumbles his name in his sleep. Tyler yawns again, and his eyes flutter shut to Craig's soft whispers and almost silent snores. "One in a million, Mini. One in a million..." Tyler trails off as he falls asleep, clinging to Craig like as lifeline. "I love you..." Is the last thing he murmurs before truly falling asleep, and somewhere in Craig's dream state he finds a way to respond. "I love you too...."
