Finding you

Chapter 8

"It's a nice place you got up here, is it like this in most Seattle homes?" Eddie said, still linking arms with Chris.

"I don't get out that often, so I wouldn't know" Chris chuckled.
"Do you like it here? Remember, you can stay for as long as you want." He tilted his head towards Eddie's, faintly making contact.

"Thank you, but remember that if you ever get bored of me, feel free to kick me out. Are you sure it's not too much for me to ask for?" Eddie asked, closely looking at Chris.

Chris playfully rolled his eyes, and put Eddie's bags onto the floor, by the bottom of the bed.

Eddie was standing at the entrance of the bedroom still, watching Chris dig in his wardrobe, hearing the clinging of hangers bash into each other until he brought out a flannel shirt and some shorts. He headed towards Eddie and gave them to him.

"I figured they'll look better on you than they ever would on me" Chris winked and walked out of the bedroom, waiting for Eddie to change into his warm clothes.

"Just shout me when you're all dressed" Chris shouted whilst walking down the stairs. His voice gradually muffled the further away he was.

——————————

After he changed, he hesitantly walked towards the door and opened it.
He stood on the top of the stairway and looked around for Chris.

He felt so warm and happy around him, in his company.

"Oh, uhm, Chris?" Eddie softly spoke. He was still rather shy around him. His voice gradually got louder:
"Chri-"

He stopped as soon as he saw him walk up the stairs. He was holding two mugs of coffee  and sweetly smiled at Eddie, gesturing him to go into the room.

"You need a hand with that?" Eddie offered to help, but Chris kindly shook his head.
"All I ask from you is to make sure the door doesn't slam into my face again" Chris chucked.

Eddie laughed and looked at him whilst standing in-front of the door to keep it open for him.

"Again?" Eddie cackled

"We'll talk about it" Chris said, with a smile from ear to ear.
