Story Time {Pierce the Veil: One Shots}

Sweater

~Victony(still unsure about the ship name)~

-Vic's POV-

We graduated high school about three months ago, and my boyfriend Tony and I managed to get a one bedroom apartment.

I have my job, I work with my father is landscaping, and Tony has his own job at a popular book store.

We make a decent amount, a little better than we expected. We have AC in this summer heat still spiking in August.

But even in the heat Tony keeps a sweater on. I haven't questioned it directly, but I will ask him about five times a day if he's too hot or something.

But he brushes it off, in fact that's all Tony really does now is brush things off. The only really affectionate he shows me is if I show first. That isn't natural.

Tony usually is extremely clingy when it's just us, sometimes I can't even use the bathroom without him playful whining at the bathroom door.

Some days he's locked in the bathroom for a good twenty minutes. I'm worried.

We haven't had sex in a little over four months, I'm not complaining too much. I guess I just miss him.

I was home from work early and walked through the front door. I was about to yell my usual hello to Tony but I heard him on the phone.

Slowly and quietly, I shut the door and walked to our bedroom doorway.

He was sitting on the bed with his back to me in probably nothing but the sweater, his  feet probably not touching the floor as usual. He was sniffling and wiping tears with his sleeve.

"No.. I can't tell him momma, that would ruin everything between us. We been together four years, I can't let that go to waste," he said, his voice a little rough from crying.

He went quiet to listen to his mom talk, I'm assuming.

"Still.. he's not going to be happy when he finds out," He paused.

"I don't know what to do, momma. I want him to stay but I can hide it from him much longer," He sniffled and looked at our calendar.

"He wants me back on Saturday," he said.

I felt my heart sink slightly.

Tony's not cheating on me, right?

It can't be true.

His mom wouldn't allow it.

"Well, thank you, momma. But I gotta go because Vic will be home soon. I love you too," he said and hung up.

He put his face in his hands.

Feeling something inside my chest burn gave me the courage to say something.

"Who was that?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

Tony jumped up and immediately stood up, and pulled the sweater down. He looked absolutely panicked and scared.

"W-what? Oh my god, Vic.. how long have you been standing there?" He asked, frantic.

His eyes began watering and it looked like he was about to start crying again. I walked over to him and gently wiped a tear.

"Who was that? And what are you hiding from me?" I asked, trying not to sound angry or hurt.

Tony began trembling and he started crying once more. This wasn't a cry I've ever heard come from Tony.

His sobs and the way his body moved showed me he was far from okay. In fact I watched my baby crumble right in front of me.

Pushing aside my feelings I wrapped my arms around him and he cried into my chest.

"It's okay," I said, kissing his forehead gently.

He shook his head and he cried harder, the front of the shirt growing wet quickly.

"Just... Tell me what's going on, baby. I need to know. Are you cheating on me?" I asked, gently pulling him away from me.

He looked up at me, his messy bangs in his face, his eyes and nose red from crying, and his doe eyes widened. He quickly shook his head.

"Then tell me what's happening," I begged, brushing his bangs from his eyes.

He took a deep breath, hiccuping slightly from his breakdown.

"Vic... I'm... I'm pregnant." He said.

I felt my heart stop.

This has to be a joke.

"Wait... What?" I asked.

He slowly lifted up the sweater, at first all I saw was his usual panties, but then it was different.

His stomach stretched a little, resembling one of a pregnant woman. But this can't be possible.

Tony quickly yanked the sweater back down and looked at me, his eyes begging me to say something.

"I... I'm dreaming," is all I could force out.

He slowly went to his nightstand and opened the top drawer. Underneath a few stray items he pulled out four pregnancy tests.

He walked over to me and held them up. Each one reading positive.

He is pregnant.

I slowly looked away from the tests and into his eyes.

"I understand if you wanna leave," he said quietly, his voice breaking.

He walked over to his nightstand and he threw the tests on the table top. Slowly, I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him from behind.

My hands found their way to his tummy, it definitely felt different.

"Baby.. I'm not going anywhere. I love you so so much, and you better believe I'm going to love this baby just as much," I said, words just flowing out of my mouth.

He slowly turned and faced me, his eyes filled with hope.

"Promise?" He asked.

I smiled, "Of course baby."

He slowly smiled and immediately pulled my face down and kissed me. It felt wonderful.

I missed his lips so much.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him close. He wrapped his arms around my neck and gently pulled away.

"I love you, Vic. So so so much, I'm sorry I hid everything from you. I'm sorry I've been pushing you away. I'm sorry I've been so distant I was just so so so scared, I thought you were going to leave m-" I cut off his rant with another kiss.

He melted and kissed me back.

I bit his bottom lip playfully and Tony instantly opened his mouth and pulled me closer to him. Wow, this was different.

I gently pulled away, earning a whine from Tony.

"Baby, are you okay?" I asked.

He looked embarrassed, "Yeah.. my hormones are all over the place and so is my appetite."

"Oh, baby, it's okay. I'll be here with you every step of the way," I said, kissing his forehead.

He shyly nodded and snuggled into me. I stroked his hair and smiled.

"I love you," Tony's muffled voice said.

I chuckled lightly," I love you too, baby."

Now, the next step of this new found information, is trying to come up with a way to break the news to my family.

Oh boy.

Hahaha this is gay and I'm sorry, I don't know what this is but I hope you enjoyed it :))

Thank you guys for reading and taking time out of you day just for me
