Romeo And Julian (Part Three)

Chapter Eight

I sat down on the bed and waited for Julian to make his way over, but he just raised a brow at me.

"You didn't bring pajamas or anything. What, are you just going to sleep in your jeans?"

Hmm... I guess I did miss that. "Do you have anything I could possibly use?"

His hands rested on his hips, his eyes asking how I could be so dumb. "I wear extra small, you were large."

"That is... A very good point." I muttered. "I mean, I could just sleep in my boxers."

Julian's face went red and he looked away in embarrassment. "Well... That's an option." He said. "I need to go change..."

Within a few seconds, Julian grabbed a pair of pajamas and ran over to the bathroom to change, leaving me to do the same I guess. By the time he was back, my clothes were folded and I was laying in bed waiting for him.

Julian, wearing white and pink pajama bottoms, got into bed and turned so his back was to me. "Goodnight." He quickly said, turning off the lamp so I couldn't see his blush.

"Hey, Julian?" I said. "Why are you laying so far away?"

There was a few seconds where I wasn't sure he had heard me, but then the smaller boy scooted back until he was against my chest. "Is that better?"

"Yes." I said, a smile growing on my lips.

Before long I fell asleep with Julian in my arms. It's weird how natural this feels. How normal it feels. Maybe I am gay. Do I really need a label though? Why do I need to say "I am this and nothing else"?

When I woke up, Julian's head was tucked into my chest, his breathing steady and calming. He looked so peaceful.

He yawned and opened his eyes slightly, looking up into my own. "Morning..."

"When did you snuggle up to me like this?" I asked, smirking slightly.

"You're warm." He replied. "Like my own sexy little heater."

It's hard not to laugh at this goof sometimes. "You're still asleep, aren't you?"

"Very."

Eventually I got out of bed and stood up to grab my clothes and take a quick shower, but someone wrapped their body around my waist.

I looked down at Julian holding onto me, his face against my lower back. "Don't go... You're warm."

"You realize that you're very close to my butt, right?" I said.

"I know. I'm tempted to grab it." He muttered, still sounding very tired.

Shaking my head, I gently unwrapped him from me and laid him down. "You really have no filter right now. I'll come back later and make sure you're not late for school."

I knew this house just about as well as I knew my own, so it was pretty easy to get to the bathroom without anyone seeing me in my boxers. A quick shower later and I was pulling my jeans on, realizing that even if my parents didn't bat an eye at me staying over, someone else would.

I pulled out my phone an sent a quick text to Grace. "Good morning."

"Really? You can't have sex here, so you run off to your boy toy's place?" She shot back. "That's a little slutty."

"Nothing happened."

"Right, and I believe this."

"I swear to you, nothing happened. Julian was getting sick and I stayed to help." I explained.

"What are you talking about? He was fine when you two were here."

I... Hmm... I forgot that she doesn't know about Julian being sick. I guess maybe I should say something later.

"I'll explain in person."

Ok, that should do! Now to get back to the adorable mess in the bedroom. That sounded bad...

When I walked in, Julian was picking out his clothes at the dresser.

"Hey there." I said with a smile.

He turned around smiling, yawned, then went right back to smiling at me. "You're adorable."

"Oh, I thought I was a sexy heater." I remarked.

Julian's eyes widened. "I said that?"

"Yup."

The embarrassment on his face was great, and it took a lot for me not to laughed. Julian glared at me for a moment before collecting all of his clothes and running off.

"You better not have used all the hot water." I heard him mutter as he left the room.

I went downstairs and made a bowl of cereal for myself, sitting down to eat while I waited for the tiny guy in the shower.

"So."

I turned my attention to his mom, who was standing in the doorway to the kitchen. She looked tired, but was smiling all the same.

"How was your night?"

"Oh, it was fine." I said, avoiding eye contact. I can not make the mistake of looking her in the eye. "I slept fine."

"Hmm. Interesting." She said, walking over and pouring herself a bowl of Lucky Charms. "That's all? Just sleep?"

"Umm... Yes."

"Good." She said, looking right into my soul. "Because if I feel like you're rushing him, you will die."

"R-rushing him? Rushing him how?"

"Sex, you moron." Julian's mom said, rolling her eyes. "You rush him into sex, and I remove your naughty parts and staple them to a wall."

I swallowed hard. "I-I'm not pushing him for anything, ma'am. I'd never pressure him like that."

She smiled again. "Good. As I told you before, I like you, but you're much more alpha male than Warren was, so I need to make things clear."

Whatever heavy object I swallowed really doesn't want to go down. "Y-you know then..?"

"Dude, you're super obvious." She said. "I get it, he's cute. Adorable even. But that's part of the reason I will go mama bear on your ass without hesitation if you hurt him."

Julian walked in looking horrified. "Mom! Please stop talking, you are going too far!"

"I'm protecting my baby!" She shot back. "It's because I love you!"
