Baby AJ

SEVEN - Safe

Allen Jones POV

After my lonely school day I noticed Chris was acting weird.. different. I didn't know if I should say something or even bother him. I couldn't tell if he was mad.. or sad. He was just different. We both just sat in my room in quiet. I did my homework and Chris was just laying down. "I have to say something." I think but before I do my mom comes in.
"Chris have you heard from your father?" She asked
"No why?"
"Just.. neither have I and I don't know where he went. You're welcome to stay here of course for now but it's important he at least knows that."
"Oh yeah. I'll try getting ahold of him."
"Ok thank you."
"Of course."

Momma left and it was just me and Chris again. He walked over to me.

"Believe or not I'm use to him just leaving me."
"T-that's terrible."
"Yeah but I mean what can I do about it. Your mom is very sweet for actually letting me stay."

If it was up to me I'd never let Chris go.

"Y-yeah."
"Thank you AJ."
"W-why?"
"You're just amazing. You're just letting me stay in your room and you don't even seem mad. I've been terrible to you but you've been nothing but nice."
"Well.. Just.. you. Something about you. Y-you can hurt me. You can m-make me f-feel like s-shit.. but I can't do that t-to you."

It was true. Something about Chris just made him special. The way he acted in the car.. the way he treats me when it's just me and him. I feel cared about.. I feel loved.

Do I love Chris Jericho?
Am I gay?

Chris got closer to me. With tears in his eyes. I didn't know what he was doing and I didn't know what I was doing either. I put my arms out and Chris fell into them. A hug. We were hugging and it felt right. For once I felt useful and helpful as Chris just cried into my arms..

Chris Jericho's POV

I hated that I cried on AJ like that. I should protect him I should be more caring. All he does is care and tell the truth. As he held me I felt safe, warm, and special. I had feelings that I never wanted to leave. God AJ why are you so perfect? I pulled away and looked into AJ's eyes. The most beautiful view like staring into the ocean. It's like everything around us was frozen. The more I looked into AJ's eyes I felt like me and him were in the water. At peace. We were getting closer we both knew it. I couldn't let the opportunity pass.. I went in for the kiss. We were so close I was ready.. as I was about to meet his lips he looked up.. what? I softly and passionately pecked AJ's neck. AJ dropped me. His mom had entered the room. AJ looked scared and I was nervous..

what did she see?
