ineffable // a.f.i + c.t.h

one ♡

I was finishing my Nutrition project when someone called me on facetime. The name Calum made a smile grown in my face as I answered the call and finally was able to see his face after two days. I recognized the room and noticed it was his own bedroom, signalizing he was home already.

Since his big sister was about to move to London, he wanted to waste some time with her and I agreed to let him do whatever he wanted. I knew he was in good hands with Mali so I really did not worry about girls and all the stuff usually takes over control of my mind whenever he's away. 

I hated to sound clingy or anything that would bore Calum, confidence was the word we both knew it would always be like that, but I couldn't say I wasn't missing him because I really was. It was atypical for both of us to stay away from each other for more than a day. During all these three years we are together, we barely left each other’s side and now after whole entire days without seeing his face, being able to see him smile again made me feel my heartbeat uneven. 

"Babe, I missed you so bad" Calum's voice entered in my auditory field. He was sounding so tired and also looking like that, he probably had a full day. 

"Hey love, I missed you terribly much! How was your day?" I asked seeing a smile grow in his face as he slightly bit his bottom lip. 

"It was good, I had a great time with Mali but I also missed you and I was wondering if you might want come and stay for the night?" He suggest shrugging his arms "I know you might be tired as hell but I Moon and I are missing you" He left the laptop for few seconds till you see he was with moon in his hands. 

"Our little girl" I spoke in a highly pitched voice seeing the scene of the tiny little white ball of cuteness licking Calum's face with her small tongue. 

"Say I miss you mummy" Calum spoke to Moon making me giggle at the fact he really think animals can speak. Calum is a 21 years old with nothing but passion for animals, a huge reason to be studying Veterinary at uni and being the co-founder of a NGO with Luke, his best mate for simply his whole existence. 

Both had traumatic losses through the years. Luke had Molly and Calum had Tony. Both died after several years, Molly died at 17, she lived a really long time with Luke and I remind by myself the sweet dog she was, always around licking and wanting you to play with her belly. Tony was the dog Calum found in the streets when he was 7, he didn't had too much time with his dog like Luke did since in a fateful Saturday night, Calum's dad accidentally ran over Tony making that night the most hurtful and eventful night to Calum. Tony was like a best friend to him, he would talk to him and he would listen, he would say he loved Tony and he would lick Calum's face in a way to say thank you. 

Calum never had a dog after Tony, he had a serious trauma thinking all of their pets would die. Well he did, tillI I adopted Moon and gave it to him for his 21st birthday. I always knew it would help him to relief his trauma, he treats her like a daughter or something. I've lost the count of how many times I caught him telling her how was his day or how much he loved "mummy". 

"Can you see it?" Calum looked at me "It’s her 'come home mummy' face" He did a pout and I couldn't help but giggle, his faces were the cutest.

"Ok love, can you wait like 10 minutes?" I asked checking the time and it was already 9:30 pm "I'm working on a project like forever and now I'm finally about to finish it" I explained him. 

"Sure, while you finish your project Moon and I will get ready for you" Calum gave me a cheeky smile making me laugh. 

"See you in a while, love ya lots" I smiled.

"I love you to the moon" He pointed to moon making me laugh at his cute pun "and back" He truly smiled. For heaven’s sake, that smile was the reason I was still sane. I loved the crickles by his eyes, and the way he shuts his eyes every time he laughs. It's such a beautiful sound. I would stay my whole listening to it over and over again.

I finished correcting some spell mistakes in my project, while it was printing I went to my closet and packed some stuff and then went downstairs taking the car keys, actually my brother's keys. I heard a fake cough and knew it was from Michael. 

"I swear I'll be home before you need it" I pouted hoping it'd convince him to let me get his keys.

"But Geordie will..."

"Don't be dumb, it's you and yourself in this house! Call her to come over!" I suggest poking him with my elbow.

"Ok I got... Take care of my babe..." He looked at me squeezing his eyes and getting what he was saying.

"Your babe will be safe in Calum's garage okay?" I said fiddling with the keys "See you tomorrow at uni" I smiled and blew a kiss in the air and the door swung open quickly closing it behind me. 

If there was a thing Michael loved besides video games and pizza was his car. Michael won a white Range Rover from our dad when he got his license and since then he never got another car. 

The streets were pretty calm, which made my ride way faster than I predicted. The garage's door swung open and I parked the car next to Calum's and followed to his room finding him with a scissor in hands and an apparently newly bought tee in other. 

"Let me guess you're going to fill it in holes" I laughed placing my bag in the desk and walked towards Calum that was now with a huge smile on his face. 

"They look way cooler full of holes" Calum laughed and put the scissor and tee aside stretching his arms slightly pouting which made me giggled was I walked towards him that pulled me to the bed wrapping his arms around me in a tight hug. 

"These days were awful without you here" I whined resting my head on his chest as he started to slowly brush it with his fingers. 

"I hate being away from you Fie, the whole trip I couldn't stop thinking about you and what you were doing" He kissed the top of my head.

"But what about you and Mali, what the two of you did these days?" I asked and he brought me to his chest and started curling a lock of my hair in his index finger. 

"So many things" Calum happily sighed "As you know Mali is a huge fashion lover and she took me the mall so I bought those babes" He pointed to the black shirts on his nightstand "And a pair of black jeans but they are too clean and I gave up on wearing them.

"What do you mean by clean?" I frowned.

"It's just black... Nothing else, just black fabric" He shrugged

"Rip it you dumbass" I giggled.

"Don't you think I might ruin it?" He looked seriously at me. 

"You're about to ruin your tees, why don't you ruin your skinny also?" I spoke taking the shirts from the nightstand and seeing all of them were band tees, Blink 182, Green Day and Sleeping With Sirens.

"God! I need to borrow this Sleeping With Sirens one someday" I turned to him, let me help you cut up your shirts? Please, please, please!" I started begging and pouting and Calum giggled and leaned in to a kiss.

"Feel free to do whatever you want, love" 

"Can you bring me your black jeans? I want to do a thing" I laughed and Calum rolled off the bed and walked towards his wardrobe and quickly took his jeans from there and I grabbed a second scissor and cut a hole in the need while Calum kept cutting random holes in his Blink tee. After few minutes debating whether where to cut or not I finished cutting up the SWS tee and noticed Calum was done with the other ones.

"Babe, get this on. I need to see if I did a good job" I laughed giving him his now stylised clothes as he gave me a smirk starting to get undress and my eyes carefully watched his moves. His new tattoos were so hot. His arm were about to get filled with tattoos and they were all so beautiful, all of them had a meaning for him and that was the best about it. Calum was finally in just boxers when I got up stopping him from get dressed up again.
