Alone With You // KITTY

/prologue/

After Kit slammed his door shut, Ty scrambled to his bedroom for his Sherlock Holmes book. Once he grabbed it, he headed to Kit's room. He lightly tapped on the door, hoping to get any recognition that he was still awake. There was no sound, no voice, and no movement.

Ty slid down the door and opened his book to chapter thirteen, he began reading to himself.

Ty was wrong, though. Kit was still awake, and he was listening to everything Ty was doing. He heard every page flip, and ever breath he took. It started getting late, fast. He stalked off to bed, still hearing the faint page flips as his eye lids closed.

The next morning came fast, faster than expected. Ty had woken up to his neck craned, he fell asleep on the door to Kit's room. His book laid next to him, neat and unharmed, which he was glad for.

He rubbed his eyes and stretched, but soon enough the door flew open. Ty fell back, his head hitting Kit's feet. Kit stared at him in horror.

"Hello." Ty said shyly. Kit was still staring at him, grasping the door knob.

"Err, hi," Kit raised his eyebrows, watching as Ty got to his feet. Ty was taller than him, only by a few inches.

"I'm Tiberius Blackthorn." One side of Ty's mouth quirked up. Kit let out a breath he forgot he was holding, relaxing completely.

"Kit Rook, uh, Christopher Herondale." Kit answered back. "I didn't know you were there all night."

Ty rubbed the back of his neck. "I was really tired-"

"Breakfast-" Julian stopped in his tracks as he saw Ty and Kit. Kit who was opening up to Ty. Ty who was blushing fiercely. He could sense the tension between them. "-is downstairs." He finished, stalking off.

"Alright." Ty grabbed his book off the ground, dusting it off. He looked up as he saw Kit's door slowly shutting. "Wait!" Kit peeked his head through.

"Aren't you going to have breakfast, Christopher?" Ty asked. Kit didn't mind at all that he was using his full name. He quite liked it.

"I'm good." Kit said harshly, which was not intended at all.

"I'll bring you some up, okay?" Ty reassured. Kit's mouth twitched into a smile. Ty turned to leave, but Kit caught he sleeve. He turned around to see him outside of his door fully.

"What book are you reading?" Kit asked as he pointed to it in his hands.

"Sherlock Holmes." Ty stifled a smile. He was definitely going to get Kit into the series.
