Chapter 12

Song of the chapter: such great heights by as it is

Josh rolled over in bed, coming to a halt when he bumped into something warm and solid. He opened his eyes in confusion. Josh looked to his right to see Oli sleeping peacefully. He smiled, Oli looked so calm and cute in his sleep, lips parted slightly and eyes fluttering gently as he started to wake up.

"Mornin' Joshy." Mumbled Oli, his eyes still shut as he smiled weakly.

"Morning. You sound like you're in good mood today." Replied Josh, looking up at the ceiling as he smiled.

"I guess I am. This is the first time I haven't had a nightmare in years."

"Guess you'll just have to sleep with me every night from now on then." Smirked Josh as he leaned over Oli, using his arm to prop himself up. Oliver laughed and pulled Josh's head down with his hand, pressing it against his lips so that he was kissing his forehead.

They laid in silence for a few minutes, Josh's head against Oliver's bare chest with their legs tangled together. Josh thought about all the things that him and Oli could do now they were actually dating; they could hold hands, kiss, cuddle, whatever they wanted.

Suddenly, the bedroom door burst open, revealing Matt and Patty smiling as they talked about some random crap. Oliver leaned back and closed his eyes, pretending he was asleep again. He couldn't be bothered to deal with Matt and Patty's shit today, especially when he was in such a good mood.

"Having fun Josh?" Asked Patty smugly as he was the position that the two boys were in.

"Hmmm? Oh ummm yeah." Josh Stuttered awkwardly, embarrassed that his friends had walked in on Oli and him cuddling before he had even told them that they were in a relationship.

"I need to go soon, my mum said I need to be at church for the morning service this week." Patty said, rolling his eyes whilst crossing his arms.

"That's fine, we can go get breakfast now, you guys go to the kitchen and we'll catch you up in a few minutes." Smiled Josh as he watched his friends look at each other before leaving the room.

"DON'T FUCK EACH OTHER TOO HARD." Shouted Matt from the other side of the door.

Josh laughed and rolled over so that he was leaning on Oli once again, he noticed the taller boy had his eyes shut like he was pretending to be asleep.

"Oh no Oli's asleep, guess I'll just have to go without him." Smiled Josh as he waited for his boyfriend to open his eyes.

"Wouldn't that be a shame." Deadpanned Oliver, keeping his eyes shut.

"Nice to know that you want to come eat breakfast with me." Josh sighed dramatically, placing his hand over his heart in fake hurt, even though he knew that Oli couldn't see the gesture.

"I bet you just did some really gay, dramatic gesture didn't you?" Smiled Oli, opening one eye so he was squinting up at Josh.

"You know it babe." Replied Josh, making Oli laugh at the nickname and finally open both his eyes, sitting up.

"Never call me that again."

"Whatever you say, baby." Laughed Josh as he climbed off the bed and headed for the door.

"Don't make me break up with you already Joshua." Oliver joked, tho he kept his tone completely serious as he gave Josh his signature I'm-pissed-off look. He followed Josh out the door, still in just his boxers.

When the two boys reached the kitchen, they could already hear the chatter of the others. Oli really didn't want to spend more time with them, he had already fulfilled his promise to Josh and tried to get on with Matt and Patty, now he just wanted to go home and never speak to them again. They were just like everyone else in that fucking school full of judgemental assholes. Oliver hated it.

The other 3 boys conversed as they ate the cereal that Josh had prepared, whilst Oli just stayed silent and stared into space. He really wanted to go home and be alone. His good mood from this morning seemed to have crashed and burnt in a matter of minutes, along with all the energy he had gained from sleeping.

"You should wear that outfit more often." Whispered Josh as he leaned into Oli's ear. Oliver suddenly became painfully aware of how little clothes he was wearing and how much Josh was looking at his almost naked body.

"Maybe you should keep your eyes to yourself Franceschi." Replied Oli coldly as he shrugged off Josh.

"Are you okay Ols?" Asked Josh, no longer whispering.

"Fine." Oli looked straight at Matt as he spoke. "Can we go back upstairs now?"

"Yeah you can go get ready, Josh will be up in a minute, I just need to tell him something real quick." Matt said, glaring straight back at Oliver.

Oliver got up and left, heading towards the staircase until he heard Matt start to speak. He lingered for a second, hoping that he could hear what they were talking about.

"He's such a moody bitch, I don't understand how you can put up with him." Matt spoke, annoyance clear in his voice. "He doesn't talk at all and then gets pissed off when you try and joke around with him?"

"He's honestly really nice, he's just acting out because he thinks you guys don't like him-"

"Yeah fucking right Josh, you just can't bring yourself around to realise that maybe Oliver actually is a bad person, you want to sympathise with him because he's all alone but maybe he has no friends for a reason. How can anyone like him when he acts like that all the time." Matt ranted.

"Matt you need to calm down." Patty said back.

"I can't make you like him Matt, but just try and be nice for me? I don't want to argue over the fact that you don't like my boy-" Josh cut himself off. Did he want his friends to know yet or not?

"Your what?" Patty asked slowly, uncertainty and caution dripping from his voice.

"My boyfriend." Josh said truthfully with a sigh, he was hoping his friends would find out when they were a little more use to having Oli around. "I know you guys don't like him but I really do and this is the first time someone's actually liked me back before so it means a lot."

Oli decided he had heard enough of the conversation, not particularly wanting to hear Matts reaction to him and Josh dating. Matt would probably find some way to bring it up some other time anyway. He dashed up the stairs quietly and quickly changed into a new pair of boxers, black jeans and one of Josh's oversized hoodies. He waited silently as he sat at the end of the bed, waiting for Josh to come back. He probably looked like a lost puppy right now.

"I told them that we are dating." Was the first thing that Josh said when he entered the room. He looked nervous as he played with his fingers awkwardly.

"I know, I heard your conversation." Started Oli. "Still think that your friends will like me? What were the words that Matt chose to describe me? Moody bitch, was it?"

"Ols I'm so sorry you heard that, he's just in a bad mood, he doesn't mean it."

"I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, I was just tired of being around them, it's draining being around people that don't understand and sometimes I get sick of it." Oli said as he looked Josh in the eyes and then looked down.  Josh simply sat down next to Oli on the bed and hugged him from the side.

"It's fine Oli, they don't need to understand. We'll take on the world together."

"That was the most cliche thing you've ever said but I liked it."

No ones updating at the moment I swear, so I decided to keep myself entertained by updating myself.

Anyways it's like 1 hour until Amo comes out so I've got to stay up but I'm super tired so I will probably fall asleep.

Goodnight.
