Austin's POV
______
I was reluctant to move from Kellin's embrace. Everything about him was comforting to me. His warmth, his soft breathing, the way he was rubbing small circles into my lower back with his thumbs. We sat there, the only sound around us was our breathing and the tick of the clock that was on the wall by the door.
"Aus?" Kells asked me. I broke away from him enough to look into his beautiful, ocean-like, eyes.
"Hm?" I asked him, still not trusting my voice. He'd said that I was saving his life. *Me*. How? But then again, he had things a lot worse than I did. He tried to keep it all in, I was just an outlet. But did it matter how bad things were? No, not really. Yes, some had it worse than others. But that didn't entitle them to be more upset with their lives.
Both of us knew to call each other's bluff. Because, anyone who's lying, at some level, wants to be called on it. When Kellin asked me the first time if I was actually okay or not, I knew that I couldn't lie to him. Just like he couldn't to me. I could tell when he was upset just by the look in his eyes. And, I'd only seen a genuine smile on his lips twice. Were they results of my actions? Yes and no. They were due to his thinking about his childhood with his mom and dad.
