All I Want Is You (A McPriceley Fanfic)

Part 6

(Connor's POV)

I sit there... shocked. I'm the reason Kevin is having such horrible hell dreams. I feel terrible, even though I know I can't control them, but I still feel awful. I squeeze Kevin's hand once more before letting go and hugging him. He hugs me back like it would be the last time. I release, but I move my hands to Kevin's face, making him look at me.

"Look at me, Kevin. I'm not going anywhere, I would never leave you like that. Especially now. You mean so much to me, I wouldn't go down without a fight. For the first time in years, I actually have something to look forward to in the day. And for the first time..... I've fallen in love." I give Kevin a huge smile, finally glad I can let all my feelings out. Kevin just stares at me with a face of shock and pure happiness.

"Do-Do you really mean that?" Kevin asks, sniffing. "Because I feel the same way." Kevin smiles at me and I couldn't feel more relieved. I hadn't seen him smile since before we fell asleep and that's been way too long.

"Of course I do! I love you Kevin Price~"

"I love you too, Connor McKinley."

And with that, Kevin and I kissed again. Slowly and calmly, sweet and soft, we kissed for a while before Kevin laid down on the couch along with me, his head resting on my chest, our fingers laced together. He lay in a little ball, while I snuggle him. We both fall asleep, happily and peacefully.

~~~ TIME SKIP ~~~

I sleepily flutter my eyes open. No hell dream last night! Doesn't look like Kevin's having a hell dream either!

I squint down at him. He's smiling and every minute or so, he squeezes my hand ever so slightly in his sleep. I smile and pull him closer to me, to make sure he doesn't fall off the couch. I shut my eyes again and roll onto my back, Kevin rolling onto my chest with me. I hear slight whispers but I don't mind. Probably just the wind.

"Ah-hem." Okay. It's not the wind...

I slowly open my eyes, terrified if I'm about to see what I think I'm about to see. And it was. All the other elders standing in small groups around the living room, whispering. I close my eyes again, and I bite my lip as hard as I can.

"Ah-HEM." Somebody is clearly trying to get my attention... I guess their's no turning back now....

"Uhm, okay... b-before anyone says anything.... we-we are NOT doing what it looks like we're doing...." Flat-out-fucking-lying. Yes it is. We are doing EXACTLY what it looks like we are doing. CUDDLING. I mean I'm not complaining, but I just don't want Kevin to get mad at me for not being careful, and I don't know if he was ready to tell the other elders just yet.

          Kevin must have read my distress signals of tensing up my body and clenching my hands into fists, or felt my rapid breathing because Kevin moved more comfortably onto my chest and squeezed my hand, rubbing my knuckles with his thumb. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes again, seeing Elder Thomas standing directly above me.

"Uhhh.... E-Elder Thomas? Pl-please don't report me..." I quietly trail off, closing my eyes again and holding back tears as I clench Kevin's hand even harder. 'I'm sorry Kevin' I repeat in my head, hoping I'm not hurting him.

"Elder McKinley? I'm not going to report you. None of us are." Elder Thomas says in a 'well obviously' kind of way. I open my eyes again.

"H-how come?" I question, not moving my hand whatsoever from its place in Kevin's hand.

"Well, first of all, technically we aren't even supposed to be here, so we couldn't. Second of all, we aren't even mormons anymore so we don't have any rules to follow. And lastly, you two aren't the only ones..." Elder Thomas explains, blushing slightly and smiling shyly.

I immediately make eye contact with Elder Church who's face is bright red. He tries to hide his face in his hands but it's not exactly working.

"I'm also g-" Elder Poptarts gets cut off.

"Okay! Fine! I'm gay!" Elder Church yells aloud, immediately covering his mouth in embarrassment. He rushes out if the room, still covering 85% of his face.

Elder Thomas watches him leave and runs after Church into his room. Everyone curiously looks down the hall before the elders look back, noticing Kevin also woke up. He's resting his chin in his hands with his elbows on my chest, gazing lovingly up at me.

          Okay, Connor, you can do this. You can do this. Just tell everyone you love Kevin! It can't be that hard!

          I look back down at Kevin and he gives me a little nod and a squeeze to my hand to reassure me to just say it. I take a deep breath.

          ".... O-okay, uhm.... m-me and Kev-Elder P-Price.... uhh-we.... we're...." I trail off, shutting my eyes tight as I start to shake. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't to it. I can't do it. I can't-. I suddenly feel Kevin snuggle closer to me.

          "We're in love~"

          The room goes silent. Dead silent. I bite my lip as hard as possible as I feel a hot tear fall down my cheek.

".... HAH Elder Neeley! You owe me 15 bucks!" Elder Davis busts out laughing followed by everyone else.

I slowly open my eyes to see everyone grinning and laughing. Kevin hugs me and the other elders all cheer. Once Kevin releases from the hug, he gazes deeply into my eyes. His tight grip on my hand suddenly releases as he wipes the single tear on my face away. I couldn't have felt happier in that moment.

All the elders were intently watching Kevin and I that nobody noticed Poptarts and Elder Church walk back into the room. His face is red and his eyes were puffy. I could tell he had been crying but he was smiling shyly. Poptarts had a huge grin on his face. It was then that I realized....

Oh. Em. Gosh.
