8 || TOM

The sun peeked through the curtain, and slightly woke them up. But only Y/N shifted on the bed and opened her eyes lazily. She yawned and wanted to go to the bathroom when she couldn't move.

Her eyes widen when she realized that she was lying next to Tom and their legs were tangled. Tom's strong arms were wrapped securely around her small frame, making it harder for her to move.

"Oh god.."

She tried to escape from Tom's iron grip but failed miserably, resulting her fell back into his arms and her head was pressed against his chest. She cursed under her breathe when she started to blush.

She looked up at him and noticed that he was sleeping peacefully. Wasn't three years of sleeping didn't enough for him? She chuckled at the thought and continued to gaze at her best friend.

He looked so gorgeous, even when he was sleeping. She wondered how he does that because she knew that she looked like a mess when she just woke up or when she was sleeping.

"You're staring, Y/N."

He whispered huskily into her ears and her eyes widen in shock. His eyes peeled open and he smirked at her.

"You're awake."

He laughed silently and she couldn't help but blush when she realized that he was awake since the beginning.

"I didn't mean to stare at you."

He raised his eyebrow and smirked, like he wasn't convince with her words. She glared daggers at him and hit his chest playfully.

"It's just I can't get up because you're holding me and you're so much stronger than me and- Just let me go, I need to get up."

She mumbled, making he laughed at her again. For the uncountable times, she tried to get up again but he pulled her back into his chest.

"Thomas, I need to get up."

She said sternly. He smiled sweetly at her when she said that. Only he knew how much he loved when she called him with that name.

"You don't need to get up yet, Y/N."

He nuzzled his face into her hair and sighed happily. She bit her lips and contained herself from blushing even more. This man was making her miserable- in a good way.

"Tom, I need to pee."

She stated blindly and she wasn't lying. She needed to go to the bathroom but he just had to hold her like that. He grinned and finally let her go from his arms. She thanked him while rolling her eyes and went to the bathroom. He smiled broadly and somehow he was so happy that he woke up with her in his arms.

"You can't feel like this, Tom. You're dead."

He scoffed at himself. He shouldn't feel like that towards his best friend, and it was even wrong because he wasn't a breathing human. He was different.

~•♥•~

That day, Tom found himself thinking about his feeling for the whole day. He was dead, how could he got those feelings creeping out in himself?

He watched as Y/N was texting with Sebastian, and jealousy washed over him everytime. She didn't like being disturb when she was writing- she was always focus on what she was doing but today Tom saw she dropped her writing as soon as she saw a text from Sebastian.

His heart clenched as he saw the broad smile that grew on her face wasn't because of him. But because of another man.

His blood boiled when he heard she laughed but not because of his jokes, but she laughed at Sebastian's silly jokes that he found none of them was funny.

Where was that all came out of sudden? He thought to himself.

He was her best friend and he has never felt like this before. But as soon as Sebastian came into her life, something inside of him stirred and he couldn't help but deny his feeling. He had to deny it, he couldn't keep it any longer because it will never happened. He was dead, and she was very much alive. How could it happen?

"Y/N, where are you going?"

He asked when he saw her came out of her room, in a dress that made her beautiful self even more beautiful in his eyes. She smiled at Tom.

"I'm going out with Seb."

She answered him. His face dropped and there was no words coming out of his mouth. She frowned when he said nothing.

"Tom?"

He stuttered and shook his head. He forced a fake smile, not wanting to let her know about how he was feeling.

"Is he gonna pick you up here?"

"Yes, he'll be here soon."

She stated eagerly, and he could see the excitement through her pair of beautiful eyes. He nodded slightly. Suddenly, her phone buzzed and that brought a smile on her face.

"Oh, he's here! I gotta go now. Bye, Tom!"

She quickly walked to the door and excitement bursted in her heart. For God's sake, she missed this kind of feeling.

"Be careful, Y/N!"

"I will!"

She said to him before she left. After the door shut, silence took over the house and Tom felt completely alone. He shut his eyes tightly and tried to get Y/N out of his mind for awhile.

But he couldn't.

After three years of being dead, why was the feeling came now? It was too late, at least that was what he thought.
