Since We Have Fallen In Love... [Garrance AU] {Book 2} (Completed)

Chapter 5: He's Acting Strange

*Laurance's POV*

"Wow...are you sure?" Dante questioned, looking me over.

I nodded, taking in a breath. "I am positive, Dante. Do you think it's a good idea?"

"Listen, Bro, if you think it's a good idea- then by all means, do it. I'm here to support you, man," Dante playfully hit my shoulder, giving me a heart-warming smile. "Listen, I've known Garroth for a very long time. Even longer than you have. So, trust me when I say this, that I am here if you need any help whatsoever."

"Thanks, Bro."

The sound of footsteps came from the stairwell. I turned around, to see the one and only Vylad at the end of the stairs. Behind him, was the beautiful boy himself- Garroth Ro'Meave. Vylad had a dorky smile on, and Garroth had a small, yet noticeable, blush coating his face.

I wonder what they had been talking about...

Dante leaned over the counter, close to my ear. He whispered, "damn, just look at our men. The Ro'Meaves are freaking hot, aren't they?"

"To me, not all of them...just Garroth," I whispered back to Dante, smiling to myself.

"Wat'cha two whispering about?" Vylad showed up into my view, giggling a small bit.

I nervously chuckled, pushing Dante away from me. Garroth came to Vylad's side, a tiny smile present on his face. Dante came from behind the counter, resting his arm on Vylad's shoulder.

"Talkin' 'bout how cute you two are~" Dante winked at Vylad, who shook his head. Garroth gave me a brief glance, his blush darkening.

"No, seriously," Vylad rolled his eyes.

"He is serious," I added in. "It's kind of hard not to mention two of the most beautiful people in the world~"

"Sorry, Laurance. We're married," Dante gestured between him and Vylad.

I rolled my eyes, holding Garroth by the waist. Garroth giggled, leaning his head on my shoulder. I checked the time on my phone.

"It's getting late. I say we head home in about...half an hour, eh?" I asked Garroth, who nodded in response.

"So, you guys want some lunch?" Dante gave us a smile.

"Yes! Food!" Garroth exclaimed, jumping a little.

For once, I admit Dante was right...

*Garroth's POV*

"Garroth...I need to speak with you," Laurance's voice was solemn, as he looked over at me.

I cocked my head, biting my lip. What could he want to talk about? Everything's been going fine between us...or at least, I think so. Did I do something wrong?

You probably screwed everything up.

But I didn't do anything!

You didn't do anything to Gene, either, before he broke up with you.

I guess... Damn it...

"O-okay," I hesitantly agreed, giving a small nod.

Laurance held out his hand to me, and I reluctantly took it. He lead me out to our porch, giving me a small glance. I had no clue why he was acting this way.

"Garroth..," Laurance sighed, leaning up against the porch.

I followed his movements, my heart pounding. I was nervous as all Hell.

"Laurance, what's wrong? You're acting strange."

"Hm? Oh, sorry, Love. I didn't mean to come off that way."

Laurance nervously laughed. He took my hand once more, squeezing it tightly. A little too tightly. But, I wasn't going to say anything.

"What's wrong, Laurance? You're confusing me," I chose my words carefully, trying my best not to upset him.

"Sorry for confusing you, Love," Laurance looked over at me. "Garroth, there's something we need to talk about..."

Oh no...
