The next morning I wake up happier than I have in a long time.  I'm in love.  That's pretty awesome.  I immediately roll over and pick up my phone, quickly dialling Patton.
"Morning, beautiful" I say into the phone with a small laugh.
"Morning, Hun" he responds.  He sounds wide awake, and I wonder how long he's been up for.
"So, you wanna come over, make breakfast?" 
"Sounds great, do you actually have anything for breakfast though?"  He asks, giggling.
"Well, no" I say.  I forgot about that.
"I'll get some on the way over"
"I'll pay you back"
"Don't be silly, babe", I smile even wider somehow.  "I'll be there in 20"
"Ok, see you soon"
"Virge?"
"Yeah?"
"Love you"
"Love you too"
"Bye" he whispers before hanging up the phone. 

I put on a t shirt and pyjama bottoms.  We're not gonna be leaving the house.  I sit and wait for him to arrive, checking the clock every few minutes.  When I hear the doorbell ring, I jump up in excitement and rush to the door.  He opens it before I get there, closing the space between us and pressing his lips on mine, dropping his shopping bag to the floor.  He backs me against the corridor wall, his hands around my shoulders and mine in his hair.  He pulls back with a smile. 
"Hey"
"Hey" I echo.

"You're doing it wrong". Patton says to me with a laugh from the other side of the room.  I'm pouring pancake mix into a pan, I don't see how I could be doing this wrong.
"How so?"  I respond.
"I want the big, thin pancakes, not small fat ones!" He whines.  I roll my eyes and pour more into the pan, he smiles.
"Happy now?" I ask him jokingly.
"Yeah" he says, walking over and wrapping his arms around my chest, hugging me from behind with his chin resting on my shoulder.  I sigh happily, keeping one hand on the pan handle, turning my head to meet his lips.  His hands move down to hold my hips as we kiss at a slightly awkward angle.  He pulls back suddenly.
"Pancakes, Sanders" he says with a smile and a roll of his eyes.
"Oh, oops". I say, quickly flipping the pancake with the spatula.  It's not too burnt, we're good, I'll have this one.

Our lazy, late Sunday morning breakfast is perfect.  Romantic and sweet, him laughing at me getting Nutella on my nose, me smiling and looking into his eyes, feeling like the luckiest guy in the world.
Halfway through breakfast I say to him,
"So, I don't really know where you're at, what we really are hasn't come up in conversation, and I just, I don't know" I stutter, completely flustered.  He looks on patiently.  "Not that I have much experience at all, so I wouldn't know, I mean, it's great, I'm having so much fun, and I love you, a lot, just, you're an amazing boyfriend." Crap , I don't know if that's what he thinks we are, that was going to be my question.  Oh no. "Oh, I, oh god, I'm sorry, I shouldn't rush it, I don't know if that's, I'm so sorry". He smiles at me.
"I'll be your boyfriend if you want me to be". He says,  a warm feeling spreads in my chest. 
"Really?"
"Virge, of course, we love eachother, don't we?"
"Yes!  Yes of course". I reply quickly.  I throw myself over the table, wrapping my arms around his neck.  "I love you"  I whisper to him.
"I love you too, Virge" he says, arms around me.

Hey sorry for more late chapters, very busy week this week ❤️. Also wanted to say that there are unmentioned time skips in this story, so if sometimes events don't seem to line up time-wise that's why (his made no sense sorry 😂).
Hope everyone is having a good week!

and in the end, I'd do it all again [Moxiety]Where stories live. Discover now
