You're the reason why I breathe.

True Feelings

*1 week later*

I moved back in once we got back to Scranton. Angelo really didn't want me to go, because he enjoyed having me around, but I have to. I can't be away from Chris any longer, I want to spend as much time as I can with him. 

I screamed and flailed while I was talking on the phone with Ange. Apparently he loves TJ but he doesn't exactly know how to tell him. I'm just glad it's not me, cause then I'd feel bad for going out with Chris. I really wouldn't want to upset Angelo by doing things with Chris around/in front of him. He's my best friend, more like a brother to be (despite the kisses on the forehead and him sleeping with me) and I wouldn't want to make someone that I love upset.

"Ssh, Rick." He groaned "He's like, right downstairs visiting me and I want to tell him SO fucking bad, but I just don't know how. What if I do tell him? Will he push me away?" He sounded extremely scared, hoping that TJ wouldn't kill him for admitting that he has feelings for him. I sat down on the bed and ran my fingers through my hair. "It doesn't hurt to try, man. You gotta try. Stop thinking so negatively before I come over there and give you a huge death hug." He laughed and I couldn't help but to smile. "Now THAT'S what I want to hear. Now march your sexy ass downstairs and tell that man you love him." I giggled, laying back onto the bed. "Thanks for the help, Ricky. Love you, bro." "I love you too, Ange." I smiled widely then hung up, hoping that everything would go alright. 

*Angelo's POV*

 I hung up and sat my phone down onto the bed when TJ walked into the room. "Hey, coming back down?" He asked, walking over to me. "Uh, yeah. Actually.. No. TJ, sit down, I need to talk to you about something." His eyes widened as he sat down on my bed slowly. He scooted over next to me and placed his chin on my shoulder, looking up at me with big googly eyes. I laughed and poked his nose. "What's up?" He asked, blinking a few times. I gazed into his eyes, forgetting what I was about to say. "I.. I'm currently in love with someone.. b-but.. I don't know if.. if they love me back or n-not.." I said, breathless. He's fucking gorgeous. I just want to press my lips against his and kiss him until the end of time, but of course I can't. He raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. "Who might this person be?" He asked curiously. "I-I. It's. It's.. It's you, TJ." I said, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. "I fucking love you. I'm IN love with you. I've been wanting to tell you this 5 years ago, but I never had the balls to. I want to hold you in my arms and call you mine. I want to be able to kiss you whenever I want. I want to love you, and I want you to love me ba-" He cut me off by sliding into my lap and pressing his lips against mine. I hesitantly put my hands on his hips, pulling him closer and deepening the kiss. He smiled against my lips and snaked his arms around my neck, tangling his fingers in my hair and tugging at it gently. I smiled back and pulled away. "Please be mine. I can't live without you, TJ. Every night you're on my mind, and I just want to be yours." I said, tearing up. "Please.." 

"That's all you had to say. Jesus fucking Christ, yes, Angelo. Yes!" He said, kissing me again. I laughed into the kiss and kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling him as close as possible to me. He giggled and stroked my hair, moving his lips in sync with mine.

After a few minutes we were half naked, cuddled up underneath the covers, still making out. He finally pulled away and laid his head on my chest, breathing heavily. I chuckled softly while I played with his hair and kissed his forehead lightly. "I love you, Angelo." He said, tracing my chest tattoos with his finger. I smiled widely and sighed happily.

"I love you too, TJ. So, so much."
