drag me along.

ave walked out of the shower, a towel wrapped around his thin waist. he sat down on his and nastel's bed, reaching for the lotion bottle that sat on the night stand and pumped a little amount of the sweet smelling liquid into the palm of his hand and rested one of his legs on the other to put it on. 

nastel on the other hand was  trying to find his other shoe that the dog may have taken. he was searching everywhere and rummaging through all the closets and cursing some under his breath, not wanting for them to be heard if ave was still little. which he wasn't, though he wished he was because he wouldn't be expected to pour his heart out at therapy and do boring exercises, like writing out his anger and confronting people that have hurt him and be told the same 'just lay back and imagine' crap that he had always had to hear.

he went over the the closet and pulled out a simple black oversized jumper and threw it on himself, even though it was a bit dark for him, it was also nastel's and so it smelled like nastel which was more comforting than anything when he had to do uncomfortable things.

he also got out a new pair of boxers and a pair of skinny jeans in a pale pink shade, almost the color of his natural hair; also an effect of the wrongly given shots that the doctor gave the currently and permanently deceased boy. he slid them on, boxers first of course. 

he put the towel that was around his waist on top of his head, swiftly shaking through his hair and then removing it, looking at himself in the full length mirror inside the closet door and threw his towel over the top of it to hang until he needed it again or finally decided to put it back in the bathroom where it belonged.

he walked out into the living room, managing to distract nastel for long enough to give him one quick kiss on the neck, very lightly.

"babe...what are you doing?" ave asked, tilting his head with a curious expression.

"I'm looking for my damn shoe..." he said sounding not harsh or loud but more of a sigh of frustration while he continued to dig through the pile of shoes by the front door.

"...alright then." ave raised an eye brow, wondering how long it would take for nastel to even glance at him long enough to see how cute he was...but he didn't until he found his other shoe, which, as usual when he lost things, took forever.

ave sighed and walked into the kitchen and got more water and less hastily than his last dose of water, taking a few small sips at a time until it was finished. he took the notepad from the fridge and wrote down the time it was and how much he drank like always, seeing that nastel had already written down how much he had had throughout the night.

"ah ha!" nastel nearly shouted, lifting up his shoe, waving it in the air proudly as he stood.

"youre such a dork." ave said, smirking at the male that was already putting it on. 

"you look adorable today, by the way." nastel said, just then noticing and walking over to the boy, with both shoes. he pulled him closer, arms wrapped around his waist and kissed all over his face and a few times on the lips as well, making  ave not only blush, but a giggle too.  in return ave gave the taller male a few kisses on his collar bone, being that that was really all he could reach with his short height, even if he was on his tip-toes he wouldn't be able to reach nastel's lips...so most of the time he blamed nastel for being too tall.

a/n   this chapter was mostly fluff so be prepared for the next one to be a little sadder and more serious, readers.
