A Whole New World (Kellic) - boyxboy

XLIV

Vic's POV

I sit on the front step, waiting anxiously for Kellin to get here. Tay took him back to her house to get his things then she was going to bring him right over.

God, I miss him.

I can't believe we're married now. He's my husband. I thought I'd have to wait years for that to happen. Even though we got married under special circumstances, it's still everything I ever wanted. Custody battle aside, I married him because I love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him.

Tay's car soon pulls up and I wait patiently but I'm super excited. She gets out and goes around to the passenger side. It's a long five minutes until Kellin gets out of the car. He looks anxious and upset for some reason. I stand up and the second he sees me, he begins running towards me. I grin at his enthusiasm but much to my confusion, he runs right past me and inside.

"What's wrong?" I ask Tay as she walks up the steps.

"I don't know." She frowns. "He seemed very reluctant to come here."

Worried, I decide to go find him. I go into the house and up the stairs. The bathroom door is closed so I approach it.  I try the handle but it's locked. I then knock softly.

"Kell, are you okay?" I ask him.

"Vic." he sniffs but he doesn't say anything else.

"Why don't you come out of there?" I suggest but he says no.

I slide down the door and lean against it.

"Well I'm not going until you come out. I've missed you." I tell him.

"I missed you too." he whimpers.

"Then why don't you come out and kiss me?" I suggest.

"I want to. I can't. It's safe in here." he says.

"What are you safe from?" I frown confused.

"The people. They're going to take me away again. They can't get me in here." he tells me.

"Kell, bub, no one is going to take you away again. I promise you." I explain. My heart aches for him. He's obviously been traumatized by the whole experience.

"This is exactly like my dreams though. It's too good. Good things come to an end. This is amazing. They're going to take me away. And they're going to put me back in that horrible place. I don't want it to end." he rambles, getting more emotional as he talks.

"Kellin, they can't take you away. And they're not going to. You're never going to go back to that place. I promise. Just come on out." I urge.

He's silent for a little bit.

"We got married today." I state.

There's more silence followed by the door unlocking. I stand up and he cautiously opens it. He doesn't say anything though, he just looks down at me. His cheeks are puffy and his nose is red.

"Do you want to watch Aladdin?" I ask him.

He nods and wipes his face. I try to take his hand but he yanks it away. I feel hurt but I respect his boundaries, for whatever reason he has them.

There's about two feet of space between us as we go downstairs into the living room. He sits on the sofa and I go find Tay. She's talking to my parents in the dining room.

"Hey, how is he?" Tay asks.

"He's worried he's going to be taken away again and he won't let me touch him." I mumble and she looks at me sympathetically. "Do you have Kellin's things?"
