Thank You.. (Aaron x Reader) SLOW UPDATES!

Finally Pt. 2 (52)

Y/N
"I feel embarrassed.." I mumbled as I covered my face, with my elbows on my knees. I was still sitting in Aaron's couch. My eyes were swollen, my nose was probably really red and my head was pounding.

It felt like someone had taken a knife to my skull. I used my fingers to rub the side of my temples, as I was trying to not let the headache overwhelm me.

"Here, let me get you some pain relievers," Aaron said and got up, to get some.

"You don't have to but, thanks.."

I can't believe he stayed with me until the last teardrop.

For a moment, I hesitated on showing someone my weakest state but..

I couldn't hold it in any longer at this point.

My walls that held me up, that were so strong, suddenly collapsed. I could hear myself, the only one in the room just crying out. I felt like a small child once again as my head was pressed to his chest. I trembled and wrapped my arms around him, as it soothed me. His presence alone could make me happier, happier than any other day.

Even if I tried to stop and try to take a deep breath, it would only result me in crying. My heart was yanking in and out of my chest as I was remembering the horrible, old memories and thoughts.

He rubbed my back. I closed my eyes as the tears were making my sight blurry. My throat was getting heavier at every second and there was no sign of stopping.

But all he did was rub my back, hug me tightly, and kept repeating "It's okay, it's okay."

That somehow made me feel better than all the crying I have had alone.

Embarrassment didn't help with a headache.

"Here," Aaron said suddenly which startled me. He handed me a bottle of water and a small pill. I quickly took it, wanting the throbbing to go away.

When was the last time I managed to cry that much?

"I feel tired.." I said as my eyes were closing and I was yawning.

"Maybe it was from all the crying. How about you take a nap?"

"Doesn't sound bad at all.." I said and I closed my eyes slowly, happy to be able to finally take a nap, as my head plopped on something that felt like a pillow.

"W-Wait I didn't mean for you to fall asleep right-

Too late..

I sighed and I put my arm on the couch's arm, resting my head on the palm of my hand. I looked to the opposite direction of where she laid on my lap.

I sat still, afraid to wake her up. I felt my cheeks heating up and I groaned, annoyed at myself.

Slowly, I turned my head to face her way and saw how peaceful she looked, being able to sleep.

A smile slowly appeared on my face.

My hand took a strand of her H/C hair and kept twirling it, doing it over and over again.

Her eyelids that always had eyes opened were now closed and her breathing was deep and relaxed. All the muscles in her body and face were at peace. Her chest was slowly moving up and down with every soft snore. Her soft breathing seemed to make the world stand still. My only focus was on her and the atmosphere around me seemed to fade away.

I caressed her cheek, smiling at her.

My heart skipped a beat when my finger came into contact with her soft skin. Whenever I see her, it's as if time collapses into one tiny point and explodes at light speed. The tiny worries I hold every time disappear from the sight of her. It's as if when she it around me, I can feel all happy.

And this strange feeling is totally weird. It's a stretch.

I slowly intertwined my hand with her, as I smiled at how her hand was a bit smaller than mine, but nevertheless perfect.

Her skin was soft and I didn't want to let go.

But eventually, I did slowly, as to not to wake her up. I raised her head softly and put a pillow under it and a blanket over her, as I felt embarrassed as to what I was doing.

As I was about to walk into my room to play some video games, my legs moved on their own and walked to where she was, sleeping.

I lowered myself so I could caress her cheek again, as kept doing it for a while. I didn't want to leave her side.

But then..

My hand reached to the side of her head and my head kept lowering down slowly. My heart skipped a beat.

Our faces were so close and could myself myself heating up. A bit from the closeness.

My eyes closed and my lips connected with hers.
