If We Fall In Love... [Garrance AU] {Book 1} (Completed)

Chapter 6: I Have Something To Tell You

*Laurance's POV*

I managed to fully revive Kawaii~Chan. She rubbed her forehead, and looked up at me with her yellow eyes. Her black cat ears twitched slightly, as she sat up.

"L-Laurance~Kun? What happened to Kawaii~Chan?"

I didn't want to tell her the truth. Hopefully, she forgot everything that happened. But, I couldn't just leave her there clueless.

"Oh, KC...don't you remember?" I tried to think of a lie, as Kawaii~Chan shook her head at me, pushing her pink hair out of her face. "Well...I'll tell you, then. Uh...Aphmau was kissed by...Aaron...and you had a fangirl heart attack. I managed to bring you back to life, because of how super cool I am!"

Kawaii~Chan looked up at me, with stars in her eyes. I could tell she bought it.

"Now Kawaii~Chan remembers! Thanks, Laurance~Kun!" Kawaii~Chan gave me a quick hug, before scurrying off into the kitchen. I laughed a bit.

I stood up, starting to head off into the kitchen, when I watched Aphmau skid past me. She was breathing heavy, her hands falling onto her knees.

"Aph, are you alright?" She looked up at me, with a slight smile.

"I'll explain later. If anyone asks, you never saw me." Without saying anything else, Aph ran off. I stood there, confused. But, I shrugged it off, turning around. I started walking over to the stairs, when I sa Garroth come- almost sliding down them. He was smiling and giggling, but that stopped when he saw me.

We stood there, staring at each other. Neither of us said anything, just continued to look into one another's eyes. Awkward tension filled the air, as we both took simple steps towards one another.

"So..," I started, unsure of what to say. The moment of the kiss replayed in my head, and I could tell Garroth had the same thought. His face was turning red, and he bit his bottom lip.

"Uh...did you see...Aph come down here at all..?" Garroth rubbed his forearm, a thing he did when he was nervous.

"No, I didn't," I lied, keeping true to Aphmau's words. Garroth muttered curses under his breath, and I walked a bit closer to him. "Garroth..."

Garroth looked me straight in the eyes. He pushed a strand of blonde hair out of his face, continuing to bite his lip. He didn't say anything, just nodded in acknowledgement.

"Garroth...we need to talk about...what happened," as I spoke, I could see Garroth's eyes widen a bit. He looked down, as his face grew more red.

"Laurance...I-"

He was interrupted by the door swinging open. Garroth and I turned, to see Dante in the doorway. He had a smirk on, and he was chuckling slightly.

"Hey, you dorks! Come on out here. Stop being party poopers!" Dante went back into the kitchen,  leaving Garroth and I alone once more.

"Can we talk about this at home?" I asked Garroth, who kept his gaze on the floor. He nodded, his eyes still fixated on anything that wasn't me. I sighed, and we went to go enjoy Aphmau's party.

*Garroth's POV*

Why am I such a bloody idiot!

Laurance and I walked home, not saying a word to each other. Everything was fun with us, why did I have to ruin everything!

Stupid! Stupid!

We finally made it home, and I immediately ran towards the stairs. I made it to the second step, before I was stopped by a hand on my arm. I turned around, to see Laurance narrowing his eyes at me.

All too familiar...

~Flashback~

I paced around the room, not looking at my brothers who were sitting on my bed. Both of their arms were crossed, and they narrowed their eyes at me.

How the hell am I supposed to explain it! You idiot, Garroth!

"Garroth, you called Vylad and I up here to explain yourself. Do it, before I throw...the first item I can find at your head," Zane said, unamused.

Vylad, who was usually cheerly, was starting to grow impatient with me, "Garroth, keep pacing and I'll do the same thing. Sit down, and explain yourself already."

I took a deep breath, trying to relax myself. I sat in my desk chair, twiddling my thumbs. I felt like crying. How could I tell my brothers?

"Z-Zane, V-Vylad..," I wiped my eyes. I was crying. Through my blurry tears, I could see Vylad and Zane's expressions soften- which was oddly surprising coming from Zane. They both patiently stared at me, as I continued to sob. I felt like a bigger idiot. Having my two baby brothers watch as their older brother was breaking down.

I attempted to steady my breathing, as I wiped my eyes clean of tears. I looked to Vylad and Zane- faces full of concern.

"Vylad, Zane...I have something to tell you..."

~Flashback Over~

Laurance gave me a slight tug on my arm, slightly pulling me down the stairs.

"Garroth Ro'Meave, don't think you're getting out of this!" Laurance continued to tug my arm, and I sighed, following him down the stairs. I knew he was right. There was no way I could get out of this.

Laurance pulled me over to the couch, pointing at it. I sat down, and he sat next to me. My hands were shaking, as Laurance moved closer to me.

"Garroth Ro'Meave." His voice was stern and demanding. I nervously looked over to him, staring into those bea-...blue eyes. "I need answers, please."

Laurance's voice softened a bit, as he said his last statement. I opened my mouth to say something...but I couldn't make a sound.

Irene, why today? So soon? I hoped this day would never have to come.

"Garroth...first thing's first. Why have you been acting so off for the past couple of days? You haven't been your normal, goofy self."

I sighed, walking over to the stairs, gesturing Laurance to follow me. He did so, and I led him to my room. I gingerly opened the door, to reveal my messy room. I walked over to my desk, preparing myself to say my first words since we've been home.

"...I've been meaning to give you this. Because, Laurance..," I looked over at Laurance, who was leaning on my doorway, "...I..."

"...I have something to tell you..."
