( Jaren's pov )
I noticed a change in John. He's more serious and jumpy and is a lot more busy. I sighed and rubbed my face softly. I want the the old kryoz back to be honest.
I ran my fingers through my hair and leaned back in my seat. I decided to go over and check on him. Letters started to appear on my hand. "I will find you <3." It made me feel uncomfortable yet all giddy inside.
When I knocked on the door he answered but he looked like he hadn't slept in a couple days. Bags hung under his eyes along with dark circles, he still had the same outfit on as the other day, and his hair was a mess and greasy. "Smitt? Hey. Wassup?"
"I just came to check on you." He looked at me for a few minutes then looked away. "Oh. Do you wanna hang for a bit?" I nodded so he moved aside to let me in.  His house was a mess. Pizza boxes were everywhere along with his clothes and some papers.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry about that." I sighed while stepping in more. "You said you would take care of yourself." He looked down. "I know but I've been.. busy."
     I paused for a second. "Busy?" He nodded and started picking up boxes. I helped and cleaned the living room. Next was the bed room and then the kitchen.
   *time skip*
After we got done cleaning, his house looked 10 times better. He smiled and looked around. "Thanks smitt. You didn't have to." "But I did." I smiled and felt my cheeks heat up. I rubbed my right one softly so he wouldn't notice.
    He went to the kitchen and started making food, so I went to the living room and sat on the couch. He came into the living room with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He handed me one and sat by me. I smiled and started eating it. "Thank you." I said with a mouth full of food. 
    He chuckled lightly and ate some of his. We watched a couple of movies and I ended up resting my head on my hand. I noticed John look at me from time to time. He didn't say anything or even show emotion. He looked at my hand then my head then trailed his eyes down to my ankles.
    I hummed and looked at the tv. He hummed back and looked away. "You uh. Wanna know something cool?" He looked at me and raised his eyebrow. "Yeet is making a comeback." He stared at me for a few seconds then chuckled. I smiled and laughed softly.
He put his arm around my shoulder and ended up keeping it like that. The whole time my face was as hot as an oven.
                   ( John's POV )
       I put my arm around Jaren's shoulder and left it there. His face was red the whole time. I smiled to myself and got comfortable. We spent the next few hours just watching movies, laughing at each other, and eating.
After a while jaren fell asleep. I smiled and let him lean on me. I kissed his forehead softly and felt butterflies fill my stomach. I shook it off and cursed at myself. "J-John?" I looked down and hummed. He sleepily said, "I love you."
      I chocked on air and felt my face heat up a lot. "Oh really?" He nodded and yawned. His eyes fell shut again. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. He shifted so his head was on my lap. I leaned down and kissed his forehead softly.
      I thought to myself. What if he's my soulmate? Him? Nah. He can't love me. Can he?
