**Calum's POV**


We slipped inside the house, Ellie's fingers entangled in mine as she dragged me up the stairs towards her bedroom. This action was far from sexual in Ellie's current state, but fucking damn it, I was finding it hard to control myself and so was my little dude. Arriving at Ellie's room, she dropped my hand and immediately started taking her top off before yelling in pain at her abrupt movement in her shoulder.

"I forgot my shoulder died." Ellie gasped, biting her lip in pain and screwing up her eyes tight. "Awww shit! That really hurt." She started taking deep breaths and I could see her eyes glistening again.

"C'mere you. Ya silly duffer." I tried my best to lighten the mood, laughing at her mistake. I extended my hands towards her, my fingers snatching at the air. Ellie laughed, which was music to my ears. It was hard to watch her in pain, I really just wanted to hold her and protect her from today's events, make her forget it but she seemed so fragile at the moment that it seemed if I touched her she'd turn to dust in my arms.

Ellie edged towards me her eyes skeptical.

"Hey, I ain't gonna hurt you beautiful, I'll be careful ok?" She nodded, slowly taking off the sling as cautiously as possible. Once she had removed it, she gave me another nod and I moved towards her. Gently, I tangled my fingers at the bottom hem of her jersey, my fingers slipping underneath her shirt. unintentionally, my fingers brushed Ellie's bare skin and at the mere touch my whole body was lit alight with a tingling fire sensation. My eyes locked with hers again and she blinked granting me permission to continue. I lifted the shirt out over her uninjured arm, slowly savoring every second I could stare openly at Ellie's body. She really was beautiful. My fingers explored her skin, my eyes roaming freely, but I just couldn't contain my need for her. I wanted nothing more than to touch her with more than my finger tips, I wanted to throw her back on her bed and let my lips kiss every inch of her. The thought was making me nervous and my stomach started fluttering. I slid the neck hole carefully over Ellie's head laughing slightly at how I had messed up her hair. She narrowed her eyes at me in accusation pouting her lips, making me chuckle again. I gave her a lingering kiss on her cheek, barely satisfying my needs, before very slowly and ever so gently pulling the shirt over Ellie's injured arm. My touch was like the wings of a butterflies brushing her skin, soft to the core. After a fair amount of awkward angles and careful tugging, the jersey finally gave way and I grasped it in my hand, my eyes still glued to Ellie's body. Ellie obviously noticed this and coughed uncomfortably, slowly i drew my eyes away from her body and up to her eyes. 

"You're so beautiful." I didn't even mean to say it, I kind of just blurted it out. Immediately, my cheeks grew rosy and I could feel embarrassment overwhelming me. Ellie looked taken aback by my sudden behavior but quickly recovered giving me a warm, flirty smile. 

"Thanks Cal." She responded, Ellie's cheeks had also gone slightly pink as well. we both stood there for a few seconds, a few too many. I was just about bursting to touch her again. 

"Ok, I'm sorry but if I don't do this I'm going to go insane." I marched over to Ellie, and as gently as I can in my excitement, cupped her cheeks together and smashed our lips together. Glorious, pure euphoria flood through my veins, this moment felt like what I was looking for all my life. My purpose. My person. My heart beat fast as our lips moved together in unison. Ellie's kiss, deep and passionate. My heart skipped a beat when she slid her tongue over my bottom lip. I moaned subconsciously, and could feel Ellie smiling into the kiss. Honestly, I deadass had no clue how she could have such a pull over me, to make me go all sappy and weak. I was hooked up on her. As gently as I could, keeping Ellie's condition in mind I backed us towards her bed and we sat down on the edge. It wasn't close enough for my liking. I pulled her leg over mine so she was now straddling me, her injured arm resting on my thy. My palms rested low on her hips, being sure not to touch the burns on her back. I had never been more gentle with someone when kissing them so hungrily than in this moment, and to be honest it made a perfect combination. Ellie wriggled slightly in my lap unintentionally I was sure in a grind like movement, I almost lost it than in there. I bit down on her bottom lip, making her gasp lightly and I let my tongue roam freely through her mouth. At the same time I let my hands slid down Ellie's hips resting in her hip lips, squeezing her lightly. Eventually, Ellie pulled back. Our little session was over too quickly in my opinion even though Ellie's, and mine as well most likely, lips where flushed. She smiled to herself and slid off my lap careful not to move her arm. 

"I'm very flattered, I thoroughly enjoyed that." Ellie said in her most formal voice, a childish grin spread wide across her face. 

"Pleasure ma'am." I responded with a slight bow. She laughed at this. 

"Ok, I really need to take a shower now." Still laughing she walked towards her bathroom door. 

"Can I join?" A mischievous smile playing on my lips. She span around to face me at my words.

"Calum." She said it is a stern voice but that didn't stop the embarassed smile from creeping onto her face. 

"I was just kidding." I replied a slight chuckle. I looked down at that moment, and realized at once the VERY obvious boner I had. Fuck. God damnit. 

"Actually, can I use your bathroom really quick?" I said slightly exasperated. 

"What why?....Oh." Ellie followed my eyes and burst in to laughter. 

"Stop it.." I was so embarrassed but i couldn't help laughing along with Ellie, her laugh was contagious. She couldn't respond in her fit of laughter, so she just stood out of the door way and pointed towards it. I quickly went in locking the door behind me.


I emerged not long after, and at once Ellie sprung up and raced inside the bathroom obviously keen for a shower, and shut the door before I had a chance to say anything. This was gonna be one interesting night.
