unnoticed love

chapter three fast hearts

Liten woke up laying in arrows bed. He had his own blanket wrapped around him. He was pressed back to back with arrow. He felt arrow get up and y turned to look at him "a-arrow wait what are you doing?". He noticed him holding a cigarette carton. " oh... Mind if I tag al-"

"I don't care worm..." His words suddenly felt harsh. But liten followed anyways. When they were outside arrow began smoking causing liten to speak up "I've never smoked before mum says its a filthy habit..."

"Wanna try?" Arrow said handing him the lit one.

Liten hesitantly took it putting it in his mouth he inhaled dropping it and coughing, he had bad asthma something he was sure one of his kids would inherit. He held his throat dramatically and wheezed out a "b-back pocket-" and fell to his knees.

Arrow reached in pulling out an inhaler and helping him. After liten could breath he giggled "you touched my ass, perv"

Arrow got defensive "what!? No you made me creep! And you wasted a perfect cig  wheezy"

Liten laid in the grass next to arrow watching the stairs and breathing in that fresh spring air. The slight cold nipped at listens pale face. "Let's go inside" he heard arrow say quietly

"No way, you chicken gonna catch a little cough?" Liten blushed as he and arrow made eye contact. He remembered preschool. Arrow was so nice back then...

He felt something be tossed over him. It was arrows jacket. He smiled softly.

"Dude you are really fucking red man" arrow reached pressing a hand to listens forehead. He would have to stick his hand through the messy blonde floof. Liten shoved his hand back gently "i-im fine..." He got up going inside. He for some reason felt like he should leave as if he fucked up...

He shoved his stuff in his bag slipping on his shoes. He heard arrow walk in as he snuck out. Hearing arrow say "liten are you okay?" Hurt his heart. He walked home as he heard footsteps growing closer.

He felt a hand grab his this hand was warm, this person breathed heavy a slight harshness to the shaky breaths, he knew it was arrow. He'd had that same out of breath noise since well forever.

Arrow walked him home safely "I bet your mums worried sick about you, you shouldn't leave her alone..." He guess arrow remembered what he told him in middle school.
