Smother (Kellic)

Epilouge

"Your brother texted me, he said that you need to come home tonight" Kellin said with a chuckle as he walked into his bedroom. The sun that peeked in through the blinds hit him just right, leaving streaks of light aross his face.
He smirked at me "what?"

"I don't want to go home" I pouted, admiring his appearance.

"Well you have been here for three days" he said matter of factly as he walked closer to where I sat on the edge of the bed.

"It's spring break, you're off of work for a week, of course I'm going to be here the whole time" I joked, he rolled his eyes playfully.

"Mike misses you" he said gently, standing over me.

"Aw, too bad" I chuckled, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head on his stomach. Kellin kissed my head gently before pulling away from me.

"Well you know I have that poetry slam I have to get to" he said as he turned towards his dresser and pulled out a button up shirt and some jeans.

He ruffled his damp hair and looked in the mirror, studying his own face as if it was flawed.

"You're beautiful" I complimented, he rolled his eyes and pulled his baggy t-shirt over his head before slipping off his sweatpants.

I let my eyes drop to my hands as he put his pants on.

"You know, I don't care if you look, I'm not naked" he laughed as he slipped into his shirt and began to button it. I felt my face heat up.

I stood up and stood beside him in the mirror, making sure I looked decent enough to attend the poetry slam. I fixed a piece of my hair and let my eyes fall to my revealed collarbone.

"Mikes gonna kill me" I chuckled as I lifted my shirt to cover it, Kellin glanced up at me.

"It's just a hickey" he said playfully "plus you're the older brother, remember?" he smirked.

"I guess I am" I shrugged, letting my eyes fall into his.

He finished buttoning his shirt and he stepped closer to me, moving into a sweet kiss, bringing his palm gently to my cheek. We both smiled into the kiss, and I was the one that deepened it, putting my hand on his waist.

His lips were soft and he was always gentle with everything he did, I wanted to spend forever kissing him, holding him. There was this continuous spark that never-

"Woah, Vic" Kellin pulled away from me, chuckling a bit, but I saw the blush that spread across his pale cheeks. "We-uh, we have to go" he said in a small voice as he smiled shyly. He grabbed the poem he was going to read today and made his way down the small hallway to the living area.

He locked the door as we both left, and we walked together to the small bookstore, hand in hand the whole way. It was nice being in a town where everything is connected by sidewalk.

Though, I would be anywhere as long as I had him.

"Vic, what's that?" I met Mike's squinted eyes and he lifted his eyebrows at me.

Kellin began giggling beside me as I pulled my shirt up "What's what?" I questioned, making Kellin laugh even more.

Mike rolled his eyes with a smirk as he threw his hand in the air, dismissing it, as he already knew what it was.

I leaned back on the couch and rested my arm around Kellin's shoulders, he leaned back too and pressed a small kiss into my cheek.

Tony made a scrunched up face, because they all like to tease us.

"Are you jealous?" Kellin joked, causing Jack to chuckle from across the room.

"He wishes I would kiss him like that" Mike teased, making everyone laugh at least a little bit.

"You guys suck" Tony pretended to be offended as he sat back in his chair, hiding his reddened face. That only made everyone laugh more.

After a few small conversations Jack and Alex stood from their spots on the couch "I guess we'd better start setting up this party, huh?" Alex said.

"It shouldn't be that hard" Mike shrugged "because Vic is lame and didn't want a high school styled party for his book release" Mike smirked, walking behind the couch to ruffle my hair.

I laughed with them as I fixed my hair, standing up to help.

"When I met Vic, even before I realized that he was one of the best authors in the world, I knew that he was the most special person I would ever meet" Kellin flattered, meeting my eyes and smiling at me warmly. "Vic is the kind of person who will go to the ends of the earth for the people that he loves, and I feel like that resonates itself in his writing. He works hours on end to make these stories relatable, to give people something to cling to, as he clings onto them himself" Kellin spoke charmingly to the small crowd of agreeing faces, and I felt myself growing tearful, remembering how unstable things used to be. "It is through his books that he is truly able to identify himself, and I-" he paused for a brief moment "I love every single part of what I've found in him, and I will continue to love each and every flaw that belongs to him. I am here today to celebrate his most recent novel, and I will be here for every release to come" he smiled and blinked his watery eyes. "Here's to Vic!" he finished by lifting his glass in the air, as everyone watching lifted their glasses and repeated him in unison.

Kellin stepped off of his makeshift stage and rushed over to me, opening his arms to me as I accepted the embrace eagerly. "I love you so much" I whispered to him, I felt his grip on me tighten.

"I love you" he whispered back, supporting the back of my head with his hand as he pulled away from the hug and kissed me softly.

I kissed him back, enjoying each and every second I was able to spend in his prescence.

I thought of everything we've already done in these months we've spent together, all of the dates and movie nights. Our relationship is innocent and serious all at the same time.

We are just two people that undoubtfully crave each other in the most beautiful of ways.

I am still afraid of smothering him too, and that is one of the things that still manages to keep me up at night, the fear of smothering the people that I love the most.

Though I won't let that fear ruin us.
I won't let anything ruin us.

Kellin took my hand in his, and brought it to his lips, kissing my hand tenderly.

Things like these make me feel less afraid, and I will never let what we have between us fade.

Never.
