The Effect Of Rumours | Aarmau AU Fanfiction

Four/Eight

The weeks following went fine. We only talked in the dorm, and I spent all of my time in there when I wasn't in class. I practically ran back each time, and to each class. I'd wear headphones to block out any noise, listening to rock at full volume. It hurt my ears but it was far better than any verbal abuse. I blush as we walked down the cafe as Aaron was forcing me to, holding my hand. "I don't want to go..!"
   "Look, we can go back at any time." He stops walking, sighing. "But you need fresh air. You don't even like the windows being open. I know you haven't had any classes but that isn't an excuse."
   "You sound like my dad." I say, but stopped trying to get away from him. Instead I walked closer, my head practically on his shoulder.
   He snickers a little. "You coming then?"
   "Fine..." I locked my fingers in with his, looking around me nervously.
   "Good." He smiled, beginning to walk again.
   "Uh..." I tug on his hand a little when he walk into the café, and everybody was staring.
   "You wanna go back?" He says, making me nod and whimper. "Okay..." He sighs and let's go of my hand. "Go on."
   "Thanks!" I rush back to the dorm, but not fast enough. I was called 'Slut' 'Whore' 'Bitch' and many other names that managed to find its way into my brain. I locked the door when I arrived, sighing. I sat on the couch and blasted depressing music on my phone, connecting it to the TV to make things louder.
   The door unlocked after a while, and I heard footsteps. I didn't bother to look to see who it was. "Oh, sorry, where's Aaron?" Aaron's father’s voice spoke, his voice agitated.
   "Café..." I mutter.
   "Thanks. You okay Aphmau?"
   I nod a little. "Of course I am."
   "...Okay." He sighed and left, closing the door behind him. I curled into a ball, and accidentally fell asleep since the music stopped and I wasn't going to bother and change it.
   I woke up, and felt Aaron's arms picking me up. There was a quiet chuckle as he walked, and I felt myself being set down somewhere comfortable. I knew I was on the bed when I felt the blanket being laid over me and his lips on my forehead. "Cute..." He whispered, and sat at the end of the bed.
   I whine quietly, keeping my eyes closed. I kicked him weakly, opening my arms. "Come here..." I mutter, opening my eyes a little.
   He smiled, and put his phone into his pocket. He crawled over, sliding under the blanket too. "What's up?"
   "Are you in trouble or something?" I close my eyes and slid over, laying against him.
   "Why..?"
   "Your dad walked in and he seemed pissed off." 
   "Oh! Kind of..."
   I look up at him. "What happened?"
   "Heh... He's mad at me because I've been skipping a few classes..."
   "Oh! I'm sorry!" I sit up.
   "It’s okay. He said it was fine." He shrugs a little.
   "...Oh..." I sink back down, with a blush.
   He chuckles again, kissing my cheek softly. "He cares about you too."
   "Whatever..." I mutter, cuddling up to him. "Can we just sleep?"
   "Babe its 7pm... Already?"
   "Pleeeeaaassseee?" I pout, looking up at him.
   "...Fine!" He sighs and cuddles back. I giggle and smile, putting my head on his chest and drifted to sleep.
   When I woke up I noticed Aaron at his desk, writing something. I rub my eyes in hope to wake up a little more, looking over at the alarm clock, 6am. "Hey..." I say, getting up and opening my wardrobe.
   "Morning Aph." He glances at me, smiling.
   I get a plain white shirt, jeans and a purple hoodie on and sit on his lap. "What are you doing?"
   "Writing an essay." He kisses my cheek and wraps one of his arms around me while he writes.
   "Cool." I lean against him, reading it. "You have better handwriting then me." I say, pouting again.
   He laughs. "Does it matter?"
   "Well yeah. I get bad grades because my handwriting sucks. 'Presentation counts!'." I mimic my teachers, rolling my eyes.
   He chuckles. "Sorry hun."
   "Not your fault. I hate people." I peck his lips. He smiles and pulls me into a gentle kiss, wrapping his arms around my waist. I blush but kiss back, smiling.
   He pulls away after a while, smiling brightly. "I love you Aph..." He says, sighing in happiness.
   I stare up at him, smiling too. "I love you too." I turn around to face him, hugging him tight. "Don't leave me..." I say, my head on his chest.
   "I promise I won't." He hugs back, comforting me. I let tears spill down my cheeks, knowing he wouldn't judge me for it. "Things will get better, I promise."
