Black Eyes (TomTord Eddsworld Fic)

Ch. 31 I care

(Hey guys! How have you've been? I got my grade up to a D!! Yay!!)

//Pat's POV// <say that 10 times fast

I looked down at the man hooked under my arm, still looking terrified. It was weird to see someone as strong as RedBack this scared of something he's dealt with in armies before.

I hate how that guy calls me babe! I hate the nickname, and I don't know why I ever decided to date him.
It hasn't even been that many days and I already hate his guts.

As I was ranting and raving in my mind I didn't notice Paul looking up at me. Once he poked my cheek I was whipped out of my thoughts as I looked down at him. "Huh-?"
"You have really pretty eyes," he stared shamelessly, smirking a little. The fear was out of his eyes and I was glad the shock had surpassed.
I blushed a little, shaking my head. "Hehe.. Thanks.." I mumbled, walking into our bunker. "Can I get you some coffee or something?"
"No..." He trailed off, sighing. "Can I have my cigarettes?" He asked, looking up at me as I sat him down on his bed.

"No, your not going to be smoking. In here especially." I huffed, but smiled once he made the cutest pouty face I've ever seen. "Paaat!" He whined like a kid, making me half chuckle half giggle.
This guy was supposed to be like the best military man in our base, and look at him now.

"Dear god, your too cute." I said out loud in my fit of giggles, making him stop and become bashful. I didn't notice what I had said until I saw him, and I quickly became embarrassed. "W-wha- that's not what I meant-!" I tried to counteract it, but I could just feel my words disappearing like mist. I covered my face in my hands and whined a little, and I could feel his gaze on my hands.

His chuckle was the thing that threw me off guard, and I looked up at him. "Hey, what's going on between you and Tan?"

I smiled at the small joke, well.. It sounded like one because of his name.
"Oh, I don't know.. I don't think after that we're a thing anymore.." I mumbled, turning my head to the side as I twiddled my thumbs. "I mean, I shouldn't be sad but I did care for him.. I guess he didn't care back..."

I sighed heavily and closed my eyes, feeling my chest tighten and start to hurt a little. I was going to cry soon if I kept thinking of it.
As if on cue, I felt something warm gently cup my cheek and I opened my eyes quickly. I turned my head back to where Paul was and noticed he was now in front of me.
"Well, I can tell you who does care." He smiled, genuinely. I felt my heart race, but I didn't want him to just be some love/fuck buddy after this break up.

I didn't want to use Paul like that, but my mind was on a whim at the moment from being so sad. "W-who?" I asked dumbly in a stutter, swallowing a little as I stared at him.

With a small chuckle he said, "Me." And kissed my cheek. I guess he didn't want to kiss me full on because of what I was recovering from- and I was grateful for that.

I blushed madly and couldn't help but start to tremble in happiness.
Let's just hope my mind's not too fucked enough to end this two days later...
