Conor x Devin (Worthy) - My Little Lamb (Bonus Chapter)

A/N -
I've always thought about adding more to this mini series so now I finally have. This takes place shortly after the ending of my last My Little Lamb chapter.

Conor's PoV -

     Devin and I had basically lived in peace after the war ended. Devin's crimes were forgiving by the Greencloaks and Rollan and I decided it would be best if we just stayed best friends. All in all my life was pretty great. Then inevitably the happiness ended when Devin began to grow more and more distant from me. We didn't talk much anymore, we didn't even see each other anymore for that matter. Devin had been staying here for awhile now, he was allowed to stay in Greenhaven at least until Trunswick had rebuilt themselves after the war. His room was right next to my own but I still didn't see him. It hurt. Were we even still boyfriends? What had I done? Did he not love me anymore?

Admittedly, I was kind mad at him too. This was no way to treat your boyfriend and I deserved better. I would tell him that too, if I ever seen him...

One day I was walking back to my room after taking Briggan on a walk. I seen Devin turn the corner down our hall and I quietly followed him. He hurried into his room after a quick yet longing glance at my room. I tiptoed to his door and listened.

Nothing... I stood outside contemplating what to do. I tried the door handle but it was locked. Then I knocked on his door. No answer. I knocked again and added, "Devin, I know you're in there, we need to talk."

Still no answer but seconds later I heard the door unlock and Devin slowly opened it. "Hello, Conor," Devin flashed an obviously fake smile.

I had prepared a heartbroken yet rage filled speech but the look he gave me changed all that. "Dev, what's wrong, can I come in?"

Devin nodded and opened the door for me. He sat on his bed and I sat next to him. Before I could say anything Devin blurted out, "I'm so sorry Conor, I love you so much but I have reasons for my avoidance."

The poor boy was almost in tears. I held him and rubbed his back while mumbling, "It's okay," over and over.

     Devin's sobs slowly turned into sniffles and I judged he was okay to talk now, "What's wrong, babe?" I asked.

"I can't say..." Devin did his best to dry his tear soaked face, "just know I'm sorry for avoiding you..."

I was about to reply but then Devin quietly sobbed, "I u-understand if you d-don't want to be my b-boyfriend anymore," he kept his head down, staring at the floor.

I pulled him into a tight embrace, "Devin, no, I still love you and I forgive you."

We were still hugging and I went to run my fingers through his hair but the moment I touched his head he pushed me away. "Devin?" I questioned his actions.

"Please, leave..." Devin chocked out through tears.

"But I want to help you," Devin was standing now and I stood too but I didn't want to leave my boyfriend when he was in such obvious pain, even though I didn't know the cause.

Devin just shook his head no and pointed at the door, "go," he stated affirmatively.

"I'll be back later," I finally gave in and walked out.

We were just getting somewhere. This was the first time I'd seen him in weeks. Devin still loved me but I guess he didn't trust me enough to tell me what was bothering him. I entered my room which was just a step or two away from Devin's. I was greeted by my reflection in a mirror. My face was red and tears streamed from my eyes. I hadn't even realized I was crying. My hair was disheveled and my sheep ears drooped downward in sadness. Briggan jumped off my bed and hurried over to my side, nuzzling my leg to try to comfort me.
