Fresh x Paper Jam : The Innocent Love

Chapter 10

Fresh's POV

After I sat down next to the sleeping Paper Jam I must've fallen asleep myself, because I woke up with a start. I woke to a sort of lingering feeling on my forehead, kind of a tingly sensation, you know? I stir a little and realize that I'm clinging to PJ's little hand. I lift my head to look at him and instantly make eye contact with a blushing Paper Jam. He looks a bit startled, and his cheeks are tinted a deep raspberry. That's adorable.

Paper Jam's POV

Fresh woke up! Holy cow! Was he awake for when I-- you know, kissed him?! I can feel my face boiling, I can't cover up my blush! Fresh looked up to me groggily, seeming to be confused towards the situation, then we made eye contact-- Wait... We made eye contact?! Fresh isn't wearing his shades!

My eyes widened, his eyes are, beautiful! I reached out and touched his cheek. He seemed even more confused as to why I'm acting the way I am. I reached out my other hand and did the same with the other cheek, now pulling his face closer to mine for further examination of his eyes. "Fresh...", I said in a soft tone, that's when reality hit him.

Fresh almost immediately closed his eyes and felt around my nightstand for his shades, and upon finding them he quickly slipped them on his face. "S-sorry.", he uttered.

Fresh's POV

I looked down at my folded hands on the side of his bed in shame. I can't believe I could let my secret slip so foolishly. Like, I couldn't be bothered to be careful or anything, but no, I took off my shades. Well, there goes the only friend I care about. Demon eyes strike again.

"Fresh...", he breathed, "Look at me." I reluctantly did so, and looked him in the eye, he gave a look of pleading. Then, slowly, as if asking for permission, he reached up to my shades and stopped when he was about an inch away. I gave a slight nod, letting him know it was okay. He then lightly placed his finger tips on my shades, and slipped them off my face. He closed them and carefully placed them on his nightstand, then looked back at me with an astonished look.

Paper Jam's POV

I lightly placed a hand on top of his, to comfort him. "Fresh, is this why you always hid your eyes from me?", I questioned. I gained a small nod in response, I began to speak again, "Your eyes are-", then I was cut off by Fresh himself saying, "Hideous? Demonic? I've heard it all, I don't need a reminder.", Fresh spoke firmly, but without the darkened shield blocking most of the emotions on his face, I could tell he was hurt.

I squeezed his hands in mine, "No Fresh, they're beautiful!"

Fresh's POV

Those words hit me hard. I could never explain in words how much it meant to me, to hear those words. They rung in my ears, like a sweet melody. All my life it's been criticism, people who told me my eyes were 'unnatural' or to 'crawl back to hell you monster', you get the idea. At first I couldn't tell if he meant what he said, but when I looked him in the eye, his eyes held sincerity.

Something that I haven't known my entire existence. Before I knew it, the waterworks came into play, and I feel two little hands wiping away the tears. "I'm sorry, it just, means so much to me, that you think that." I speak quietly as the tears flow more freely. Only seconds after that has been said, I'm being sweetly and tenderly hugged by my crush. I return the gesture with as much kindness.

Paper Jam's POV

I rubbed circles on Fresh's back while whispering soothing words to him, as to calm him down. I then looked over at my alarm clock, only to notice how late it was getting to be. I winced knowing he would have to leave, but then an idea popped into my head! I smiled at the thought, and spoke, words filled with hope, "Hey Fresh, do you maybe want to, spend the night?"

He released the hug and looked at me, scanning my features, then smiled and said, "Of course, anything for you." I smiled and hopped up from my bed, and walked out of my room, in search of one of my dads. I then saw Father walking down the hall with a smirk on his face, "Hey little man, done snoozing with your boyfriend~.", He said to me while wiggling his eyebrows.

Blushing I push aside the question and ask one of my own, "Father, would it be alright if Fresh stays the night here?", he looks at me then smirks even wider and says, "Ohhh~ Okay, sure! Have fun~", he then gave a suggestive wink and walked away. There I am, blushing once again, I walk back into my room and deliver the news to Fresh, with a happier tone.
