my Boss, my Boyfriend

Shivers

Daniel's POV

As I walk into my apartment I notice Henry already sitting on my couch, stuffing his face with MY popcorn.
I fake glare at him before shaking my head with a smile.
"Finally!" He exaggerates and I roll my eyes and join him on the couch.
He stares at me and I look back confused. "Forget something?" It takes me a few seconds before my eyes widen. "Crap!" I shout. I forgot the pizza. I facepalm myself.
"Okay.." he starts. "If Daniel Walker forgot about pizza, something definitely must be up. Spill! I want to hear everything!" There's no hiding anything from this guy. A blush creeps its way onto my face before I sigh dramatically and fall back against the couch. I tell him everything, including the way my stomach felt like a tumble dryer when we kissed. Henry screeches and slaps me on my arm when he gets too excited every now and then. I'll probably have a bit of a bruise there tomorrow as the smallest thing excites him.

Before I can get to the end my stomach grumbles. I blush and bite my lip which makes Henry laugh. We decide to take the short walk to the pizza place as we were both too jumpy to sit down any longer.
"Soooo.. does this mean we get our own offices now?" Henry asks eagerly. I stop dead in my tracks and look him in the eye. "No. No Henry this is not like that. Please don't say something like that again. This.. whatever this is has nothing to do with work, okay? He just happens to be my boss." I say strictly and Henry nods, grumbling something about him just asking. I smile and ruffle his hair, letting him know I'm not upset with him or anything.

As we get to the pizza place we get in line and start talking about what we want to order. We get to the front of the line and the cute guy behind the counter licks his lips and sends a wink my way. Henry gasped and nudged me forward.
"Hey there, what can I get you, Handsome?" The guys asks. "What? Oh uh.. just a 3 cheese extra large pizza please. With extra cheese." I add with an excited smile. He licks his lips again. "Coming right up Gorgeous. Anything else? Maybe I don't know, my number?" I'm too shocked to say anything so I end up just gawking at him. This makes him chuckle and he grabs my arm. "Here. Call me." He says as he finishes writing his name and number on my forearm. I gulp and walk away as Henry follows, smacking me on the bum playfully.

"Henry!" I hiss. "Did you not listen to a single word I said earlier?" I frown at him and for some reason he finds this very funny. "Of course I did! But you should keep your options open! Just in case, you know?" He shrugs like it's no big deal.
"Wait, how are you so calm about all of this? How did you-" before I can finish, he interrupts me. "Daniel, it's okay. I know. I've always known. My gaydar is off the hook!" He pats his chest proudly and sits down on one of the benches. I smile and shake my head, sitting down next to him. As soon as I sit down my phone beeps.

Where are you?

I blush as I look at the name Elijah has chosen for himself. "My King"? Really? That's so hot.

Oh! Sorry I forgot to text you! I'm at the Pizza Hut by my apartment with Henry.

I pause as I realize something and send him another text.

Wait, how did you know that I wasn't home?

I get a reply from him immediately.

I have my ways. Please inform me of your whereabouts from now on. I don't like not knowing if you're safe.

This makes me blush, earning a curious Henry to lean over my shoulder and read my messages. He gasps.
"That is so hot!!!" He screeches and I shush him but nod shyly. Before I can reply another message pops up.

I was about to go to sleep but cannot until you are at home. Let me know when you leave and when you return, my Angel.

Will do!

Just as I hit send, the pizza guy calls our number and Henry retrieves it for us. We start walking home and I send a quick text to Elijah. As we step inside I send him another one and tell him goodnight to which he responds to sooner than I thought possible. Henry and I sit down again, decide to rewatch Harry Potter and start eating our pizza.
"You know," I start. "You always hear about all these people in relationships complaining about their partners always being too clingy or controlling. Always talking about how they hate how their partner is way too overprotective. But.. I like it. I like it a lot. I don't know if that makes me weird or..." I trail off. Henry scoffs. "Bitch, I live for that shit!" He  says proudly and I roll my eyes at him. To be honest though, hearing that from him was exactly what I needed and he knows that.

We spend the rest of the evening talking aimlessly and watching our girl Hermione kick ass before we decide to call it a night and Henry grabs a cab home.
I can't believe how different my life was this morning! To think this all happened in one day.
