The cool breeze kissed against my skin as I felt a soft shiver ran down my neck. Gavin must have noticed the goosebumps that scattered across my arm. "Are you cold boi?" He asked, glancing at me. Before I could reply, Gavin pulled his jacket over his head, causing his hair to stick every possible direction. I laughed at him, as he threw his pullover at me.

"Thanks Gav" I watched him frantically try to fix his hair while I fit my head through the jacket. I could feel the pain reach to every nerve as I put it on, but I tried to shrug it off. "Your hair looks fine, don't worry about it. It's cute when  it's messed up" I smiled at him when I saw his face turn red after what I said. I took this moment and grabbed his open hand with mine, squeezing it tightly. He looked at me before we started walking to my house. It wasn't too far away, but with the fucking pain in my side, it seemed much longer.

"Mi-coo"

"What's up Gav"

"I'm just so happy you are okay Mi-coo. I don't know what I would have done without you" I saw Gavin look at his sneakers as we walked, his cheeks lit up like a light rose.

Are you an idiot? He doesn't mean that.

Yes he does.

You just got hurt, he's telling you this out of pity. Don't be so stupid.

Please, cut it out.

Face it. He's never going to like you the way you like him.

"Stop it!" I shouted, jumping to hear my own voice out loud.

"Mi-coo? What's wrong?"

I shook my head, grabbing onto Gavin's hand tighter. I can't let my conscience get to me today. I tried to smile at Gavin, but I could tell he saw through my attempt of looking happy. He stopped walking, pulling me back with him.

"Mi-coo, Listen." He looked at me with a worried face, "If you ever want to talk to me, about anything, I will always listen to you. I care about you so much" He pulled me close to him into a warm hug. I could feel my eyes tear up as I wrapped my arms around his waist, wanting to feel his warmth. "You'll be okay Mi-coo" He whispered into the top of my head before nuzzling his face into my curls.

"T-Thank you Gavin" I could hear myself choking up. "That means s-so much" I felt his hand bury into my hair and  softly pulled me closer. Gavin carefully placed his lips into my hair. I could feel my heart rush faster.

He does care.

Authors Note~~~

Hey everybody! Sorry for a bit of a shorter chapter, but if I have the chapters shorter, I can probably update more, which I would rather do. In other good news, I have started a story with TrulyInfinite! It is an Ray and Ryan fanfic, and I really hope you can go check it out really quick on my account (: It would mean the world to me if you read it. After all of the support on here, I'm excited to start a new story with an amazing friend. It might get updated more frequently than this one since we are both working on it, but I will not stop this story. Thank you all so much for 6,388 reads. It's just. wow.

Much Love,

Rae
