Distance- A Beatles/Lennison Fanfic

Chapter eleven- that person

Not long after George got home, his phone was getting spammed with messages. One from  Ringo and multiple ones from John. By the messages, George assumed that Ringo told him what happened and right now, was thankful that John was at a family meal, at least he had a little time to himself, time to wrap his head around what had just happened and what to do now. After a little amount of time, he decided to check his messages from the two, first Ringo:

"Mate you sure you are alright? you didn't seem so good at all :/" 

George appreciated Ringo's worry, yet he couldn't bring himself to be honest, it's something he had struggled with greatly, opening up so although it made him feel more like shit, he lied and replied with 

"Hey, yeah honestly it's fine.Everything is sorted but ta :)"

Next he clicked on his messages with John and was spammed

"George what happened?  Ringo told me you rushed out of someones house and didn't look so good at all"

"Geo?"

"Remember, you can open up to me you know x"

"Baby"

"Oh my god"

"You went to Patties didn't you!"

"George you bloody melt"

"I mean, you are my melt though hahahaha"

"but yes anyways, please text back!"

Some messages made George stressed, others made George smile. He decided he would open up to John about this, no secrets.

"Just come to mine when you can, I'll explain later. Enjoy x" was the short message George sent to John before trying to distract his mind with some TV, that was until he ended up somehow taking a nap in the process.

George woke up to the sound of the doorbell being constantly rung, knowing it was from John he tried extra hard to get off the sofa and over to the door, still half asleep. As soon as he opened the door John hugged him straight away, George did back of course "you alright there?" George asked after the hug did not break after what felt like minutes although still enjoying it. "You scared me" "sorry..I didn't mean to" George said, breaking the hug and closing the door. They both of them made their way over to the sofa and sat down "so..I assume it didn't go very well?.." George sighed and shook his head "no.." "what did she say?" "not a lot actually, nothing far off from what she told you. She just get's me so..so" George said frustratingly, not being able to find the right words "hey..it's okay..take your time, don't rush into finding the emotions you are looking to describe" John said kindly and took his hand, stroking it reassuringly. 

George felt his heart beat faster and a small smile started to form on his lips at John's sweetness "I'm not very good with words and emotions" George admitted with a small chuckle "I know Geo" "you know?" John nodded "I know because I can read you like a book, I also know that you are quite troubled and I know this because I used to be exactly like you" "what stopped you..from being like this?" "love. Love stopped me, I don't love the person anymore who got me out of it but I will forever be thankful. And Geo, I want to be that person for you"  "y-you do?" "I do, but I need you to let me, I need you to let me in and be honest with me..can..can you do that for me?" George took a second or two before nodding, feeling rather overwhelmed "I promise" "good" John said and kissed his forehead.

There was a silence after that, not for long but enough to both take in what had been said. John opened his mouth then closed it again as if he were to say something but stopped himself "what is it?.." George asked, now John was looking nervous "I was going to ask you this the day I left back for uni..but right now is the best time.." George looked at him confused "George, we would make it work, I promise I will make my hardest for this to work if you say yes" John cleared his throat before asking "George, will you be my lover?" George couldn't help but smile "are..are you sure you want this?" "of course I do, don't y-" "yes. Yes I will, just making sure" George said with a small smirk and attached his lips to his now official lover.
