Liam woke up when he heard footsteps in the hallway. His door dracked open, letting the faint light flood in. He sat up on his elbows to look at the figure in the doorway.
“Lou?” he questioned, the concern overtaking the drowziness in his voice. “Are you okay?” He blinked a couple of times to adapt his eyes to the glum light.
“I didn’t mean to disturb you… I had a bad dream and I wanted to see if you were alright…” Louis responded, clutching his blue blanket to his chest.
“Come here…” Liam smiled warmly at him, scooting over to leave a spot for him. Louis shuffled over to the bed and lay down next to him, instantly cuddling up to the younger boy’s body. Liam smiled and wrapped his arms around the older boy’s waist, holding him close to his chest. “Do you want to tell me what the nightmare was?” he asked the trembling boy in his arms.
“We were walking down the street together and… and a crazy man started chasing us with a gun… and he…” the Doncaster lad paused, letting a soft whimper escape his lips. “and he killed you… I never want to loose you Li…” he spoke as his eyes filled with tears and he dug his face in the younger lad’s neck.
Liam rubbed his back gently while cradling him close. “You’ll never loose me Boo… I’m always going to be here for you…” he whispered softly in his ear. The older lad lifted his head to look at Liam in the eyes. He took a deep breath.
“I love you…” he breathed out, closing his eyes and pressing his lips to Liam’s. It took him completely by surprise when the younger lad kissed back, melding his lips with his soft ones. Liam’s hand went to Louis’ cheek as he caressed it softly before pulling away slowly, gently opening his eyes to meet Louis’ blue orbs.
“I love you too… always have… always will.” He spoke softly, flashing his beautiful smile at the older lad, causing him to smile too. They shared another quick kiss that made both of their hearts race. Liam pulled Louis’ body to his as they cuddled together. The drowziness soon took over both of their bodies as they slipped into a deep, peacful slumber whil tangling themselves together with smiles plastered on their faces. All was right in their world…
