You Were Mine From The Start (boyxboy)

A Walk In The Park

Charlie's POV

Yesterday was one of the best days I've had in a while. I almost always hang out with Hunter or Taylor on the weekends, but this time it was different. Hunter doing this, it meant so much to me. I guess he saw through my "I'm fine" charade. Ever since last year, he seemed to be getting better at that. It's terrifying to think that one day he'll see me without all my barriers up. No one has seen the real me, and I plan on keeping it that way. He's one of my best friends and I don't think he'd ever leave me, but I know that even the people closest to you can do something you thought they'd never do. Something they promised they'd never do.

Anyway, what he did for me was amazing. I loved every single part of it, even him waking me up so early. I can't believe he remembered every detail of my "perfect date." I told it to him a few months ago, it's sweet he actually cared enough to do it for me, even though we're not dating. I was so surprised when he let me snuggle up against him, I almost thought that he wanted me to. But that's ridiculous, he's straight. He probably only did it because he knew it would make me happy. He's so generous and caring, ugh sometimes really wish he was gay. 

I had woken up a few minutes ago and started blushing when I saw the position we were sleeping in. I can't believe he let me sleep like that on him. Hunter is probably the only straight guy to let a gay guy sleep lying on him like a girl. Not that I'm complaining, that was the best sleep I've ever had. I gathered my things and then left Hunter there to sleep. I know he most likely wanted to at least say goodbye and will be shocked when I'm not there, but I woke up pretty early and he deserved the rest.

I'm currently walking home by myself, it's kinda cool out but thanks to the sweatshirt Hunter gave me, I'm perfectly fine with it. I'm not exactly sure why I left, he mentioned that his parents wouldn't be home until later tonight and my parents wouldn't be home until tomorrow night. 

Something about waking up with him like that triggered something in my head. It was so... vulnerable. It sounds stupid being that psychically close to him made me feel like he could read my thoughts, or even see the side of my I'm trying to hide. My thoughts were going too fast, and I had to get out. Besides, I didn't really want to bother him, I don't want to cause any trouble or discomfort. I really doubt he wants to spend that much time with me. He did say he was doing it because he noticed I was lonely after all.

When I get home, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do. I think I watched enough Netflix yesterday to last me a month. I just woke up so taking a nap isn't an option. Ugh, I'm starting to regret leaving Hunter's house. He would've thought of something for us to do, even if it was just some stupid idea. Too late now, even if he's awake, he'd want time to himself. 

My phone buzzes, I'm getting a call. It's Hunter, shit. I hoped he wouldn't wake up for a while, he's gonna try to get us to hang out again. I'd like to, but I know he's only doing it because he sees that I'm lonely. He's doing this out of pity, and I don't want to be pitied, I want to be loved. Truly loved. Unfortunately, that's something Hunter can't do for me. 

I answer the call, "Hey."

"Charlie! Thank god you answered. Where did you go? When I woke up you were gone," he said relieved. Was he really worried about me? Now I feel guilty, I should've at least left a note or texted him.

"Sorry, I woke up pretty early and decided to go home. I should've let you know, but I didn't wanna wake you up," I answered honestly.

"Charlie, you know I wouldn't be angry at you for that."

"I know but you did so much for me yesterday, you deserved a nice nap. Not to mention, you have bad morning breath," I joke trying to hide my regret. He laughs.
