Chapter 23: Cold Shoulders

AUTHOR'S P.O.V.

The next morning, Ian woke up. He panicked a little when he didn't see a sleeping Anthony in front of him. But he quickly realized why. Ian gets out of bed and does his normal routine. Take a shower, brush his teeth, fix his bowl hair, get dressed then do whatever the fuck he wants to do. Let's say this morning, Ian wasn't his normal cheery self. Neither is Anthony but he's not up yet. Now, let's just say when Anthony woke up....giving Ian the cold shoulder would be an understatement. Anthony can really hold a grudge. Because of this, Ian gave him the cold shoulder. Neither of them spoke a word to each other. I'm not even kidding. They didn't even say one "Hi." knowing that it wouldn't fix anything. Anthony thought about apologizing but thought it would be wise to have Ian apologize first. Little did he know that Ian was thinking the same thing. They didn't speak, interact, or anything.

-ONE WEEK LATER-

Now, Ian has slowly tried to get over Anthony...but can't fully...even though if you asked him "Are you over Anthony?" His answer would be "Yes." But don't let him spoon-feed you lies. He isn't over Anthony. Anthony on the other hand, slowly got worse and worse. He started to regret the words he had said. Anthony was so close to apologizing, but then the stubbornness that both of them share kicked in. If you had to describe Anthony right now...he would be like an old rickety roller coaster. Still fun, but could collapse and/or break down at any moment.

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

We still haven't interacted for the past seven days. I know we had a big fight and all...but this is just getting ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if Ian had already gotten over me. Or if he doesn't even love me anymore...I cringe at the thought. What if he doesn't even love me anymore? I-Ian still does...right? I-I guess I'll see. If Ian still loves me then he'll tell me...hopefully...but we really need to talk. Ian I think is playing Halo 2 in the living room. I'll talk to him...yeah. What should I say? Oh fuck it. I'll wing it. I get off of my bed and walk out into the living room before sitting down next to Ian. I was right, he is playing Halo 2. "Okay Ian...we need to talk now or later.." I start. Surprisingly, Ian replies "I guess so. But what is there to talk about?" "About...you know...it..." Ian's face goes blank at my sentence."Well, I was thinking...maybe....we could still be friends...? You know...just like old days," Ian offers. I guess he doesn't want to get back together... "That would be nice..." I reply, nodding, even though my heart is slowly falling apart. Ian smiles softly at me and I do the same. "Friends can hug right?" Ian asks. I nod, before wrapping my arms around him and Ian does the same.

AUTHOR'S P.O.V.

Both of them linger a bit longer than necessary but then pull away. They continue talking and end up playing Halo together, as if the fight never happened. Except they didn't do all the romantic stuff. That was until it was later...So, hours passed of them just hanging out and having a good time...until they decided to go to bed and Anthony made a small mistake.

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

Well I guess I should probably go to bed. "I'm gonna go to bed," I tell Ian. "Yeah, I should probably go to bed as well," Ian agrees. This will be another night not sleeping together...We stand up and start walking through the hallway. "Goodnight Ian," I say before kissing the top of his head. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Ian's face goes bright red. Find an excuse, Anthony. Find an excuse! "S-sorry. Habit," I apologize. "Goodnight Anthony," With that being said, he went into his room and closed the door behind him. I sigh and walk into my room. Why did I just do that? Ugh, Ian probably hates me even more now. I'm such a goddamn idiot. I can't even begin to think what Ian is thinking right now...
