Oreo

Chapter 16: Dizzy

Romeo's POV~

It'd been over a week since I had first met Orion and I was honestly a bit surprised with the way things turned out. It feels like I've known him for way longer, though. We've been through a lot so far, and it's only Saturday. But he still knows more about me than I do about him.

Sure, it's true I wanted to be at least a little intimate with him last night, but maybe I was a little too fast? How could I know? I've never known an actual loving relationship that was mutual before. Just abuse and torment... of multiple variaties.

How is ome supposed to love in a relationship? How fast are you allowed to move into things? I don't even know and it pains me so much that I feel my head might explode. Manga and anime are always  so vague and differing that they can't even really be used as examples. Not knowing what I'm supposed to do is just going to eat me from the inside out...

My eyes briefly swept across the bedroom. It was still very dark with no light emitting from the window. It's probably still early. Hugging Orion's arm closer, I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

Orion's POV~

Light streaming in from the window was what woke me that cool, crisp morning. Had I forgotten to turn on the heater? At least there are a couple thick comforters on top of us. My face is cold though.. and two might've been too much; it's getting really sweaty...

I looked at Romeo who still slept soundly. His face was buried into my shoulder near the edge of the blanket. His wavy brown hair was a mess and he looked so adorable. Like the cutest pikachu ever. Okay, there are other pokemon that fit him better, but of the original "starters" he would have to be that little electric mouse for sure.

A sharp pain in my head made me grimace and I was quick to roll over and put an arm around Romeo. I pulled him into my chest and buried my own face in his hair. The pain didn't dull so I closed my eyes. Maybe I should just... sleep some more.

Romeo's POV~

Things suddenly become very hot. More so than before. Uncomfortable with temperature change, I felt an expression twist on my face and I moved a bit to realize that I was cuddled into Orion's chest. He must've hugged me whilst I was out, but it was too hot for me.

Wiggling free, I wiped the sweat from my face and looked at the slumbering blonde. Usually he's cooking by now, I thought to myself, then noticed the uncomfortable look on his face.

He shifted and tried to pull me back towards him, succeeding much to my weak resistance. He held me firmly in his arms.

"Hey.. Rion..." I patted his face gently to try and waken him. No effect. "Rion." I pinched his cheek.

He frowned and weakly shook my hand off but opened his eyes a little. "Mm-mm..." He held me closer.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Jus' a lil' headache..." Orion mumbled, closing his eyes again. He only pulled me closer. "Stay."

I sighed, trying to think of a way to get freed. "But I feel hot, Rion."

"Tha's cuz you are." He replied so cheesily, I rolled my eyes.

"Rion, I'm getting overheated."

"Me too." His legs hooked mine and pulled them closer.

Blush instantly flooded my face and as he tried to bring his nearer to smother me, I put my hand on his forehead to push him away. Only then I stopped, feeling how warm he was. "Orion, hey, are you really okay?"
