How to say I love you [ksimon]

Lying together

[Simon's POV]

I walked back into JJ's room.

The butterflies filled my stomach and got worse and worse with every step. I tried to cover my huge smile with my sleeve,, but I knew he knew I was secretly grinning.

I sat down awkwardly on the edge of his bed. I didn't know what to do or say. I'd never really been in JJ's room for this long before,, not that I haven't wanted to,, don't get me wrong.

JJ stayed silent and lay down further in his bed.

Trying to break the tension,, I reached for the remote and went to put on a film. I watched it for a while,, just sat on the end of his bed.

This is going to take a while to get used to,, I thought. I wanted to curl up to him and just lay there,, gazing up at him,, but I didn't know how. That sounds so stupid when I think about it.

[JJ's POV]

I could fell the tension. It was so awkward. He didn't know what to do,, and I was a prick I know. I just lay in my bed. He put a film on and we watched in silence for a bit.

I wanted him to snuggle up to me but I didn't know what to say or do. After about 20 minutes,, he got up. I thought he was about to leave but then he came to the other side of the bed and lay down.

He put his head above my chest and looked at me. I nodded and he lay it down. I put my arm around him and he hugged my chest with both arms.

It was the best thing ever. The boy I had loved all my life,, finally lying next to me.

[Simon's POV]

I felt warm inside. I could feel his heartbeat underneath my head and I rose and fell with his breath. My arms were wrapped around his muscled chest and I didn't know if I ever wanted to let go.

This is what I have dreamed of since year 8 and it was finally coming true. My dream was slowly becoming a reality. I never want to leave his side again.

And to think I was going to go back to my room and just sleep. I'm so glad I've finally told everyone. Now we can do things like snuggle and no one can say anything.

I lifted up my head and we locked eyes. My arms wrapped around his neck and my lips met his. He brought his hands up to my head and I sat up a little. I loved JJ so much. I pulled away a little to tease him and bit my lip. We sat with out foreheads touching and I whispered in his ear.

"I love you JJ"

"I love you too"

I slowly shut my eyes,, and fell myself drift off on JJ's chest,, my arms still hugging him tightly.

[JJ's POV]

I looked down at him and saw he had fallen asleep,, his arms still gripping my tight. I never wanted him to let go.

He looked so peaceful sleeping. He just looked perfect. I wanted to freeze this memory and keep it forever,, not that I would ever forget to be honest. I just want to stay this happy forever. I know I have my secrets,, and I know he probably does to,, but I don't care.

He's mine and I'm his.
