Rosie got to the apartment pretty quickly with the food. Ted greeted her at the door.
""Oh shit this is a nice apartment." Not even a hello. Whatever.
"Thank you." Henry walked over to the front door. "It's nice to officially meet you, Rosie." Huh they hadn't really met yet.
"I don't think I caught your name. Maybe because someone didn't properly introduce us." Rosie shook Henry's had. Ok that's a lot of uncalled for aggression!
"Well I'm sorry!" Ted said mostly joking knowing Rosie wasn't seriously mad.
"My name's Henry."
"Nice to meet you." Rosie looked impressed "So how the fuck can you afford this place?" Fucking Ted's thoughts exactly.
"Oh I used to teach at Hatchetfield college. Now I'm a dance and singing instructor. I sometimes tutor spoiled rich kids." Henry looked a little uncomfortable with the conversation.
"You're a professor?" Rosie impressed. Henry really is an impressive guy.
"Yeah he has fucking doctorate." Ted thought he might as well make Henry seem more impressive.
"Wow he really is way out of your league." Rosie laughed. She's not wrong but like don't let Henry know that. "I gotta get going. It was nice to meet you." She turned her attention to Ted. "Be good to him, he's better than you." Like he didn't already know that.
"Yeah ok, you can leave now." Ted didn't need Rosie there to embarrass him in front of Henry. Ted started to close the door.
"By the way, Ted's ticklish." Ted closed the door on Rosie. Ted could hear her cackling through the door.
Oh yes that's exactly what Ted wanted Henry to know, thank you Rosie.
"Is that so." Henry smirked. He's to handsome to be pissed off at.
"Yes." Whats the point in lying. That's not a good look on anyone. Ted sat down and started to eat.
"Good to know." Henry sat down next to him slightly smug. Henry started eating fries. "These are delicious."
"Yeah," Ted didn't want to come off rude but he just ehh.
Henry kissed Ted's forehead. Ted didn't really know why but he appreciated it.
"I'm sorry." Sorry for what?
"You don't have any reason to be sorry." Ted didn't want Henry to feel bad for no reason.
"Well you seemed a little embarrassed and I'm sorry if I made you embarrassed." Henry put his hand in Ted's. It doesn't really matter if he's embarrassed does it? Henry's here and he's feeling good that's really what matters.
"Oh, it's ok." Ted smiled. Henry cares to much. Well Henry would probably say the same thing about him. Ha...
"Hey you're not eating your burger. I'll have to eat it if you don't." Ted wanted to make sure Henry was eating something better than just French fries. Not that these burgers are that good for you.
Henry practically inhaled the fucking burger. Holy shit.
"So you hated it?" Ted chuckled at his own joke.
"It's so good." Henry's mouth was still a little full when he was talking. Gross. He's still hot though. Henry took a swig if water.
"Well I'm glad you're eating." Ted smiled.
"Thanks for everything."
"It's the least I could have done." It really was. Anyone who wouldn't help Henry is either an asshole or an idiot. Not that Ted isn't both of those things.
"It's not though." Henry looked very serious. "You could have left." What? Why would he leave? He would never do that! How could somebody do that?
"I wouldn't do that." There was only one this that Ted didn't want to do and that was leave Henry.
Ted put his hand on Henry's shoulder. Henry held Ted's hand. This is good.
"You know we kiss a lot for friends." Henry chuckled a little. Friends? Oh.
"Friends? I think we might be a little past that." Ted really hoped they were. Ted hated the friendzone.
"Well maybe not friends, maybe something else." HA TAKE THAT FRIENDZONE! HE AIN'T COMING BACK!
"Yeah something else?" Ted smirked.
A mischievous look flashed across Henry's eyes. Should Ted be concerned?
"Well maybe..." Henry started.
Suddenly Henry was tickling Ted. God damnit Rosie. Ted could feel himself falling off the chair. Shit. Ow. Fuck. Ted had fallen off the chair.
"Stop noooo" Ted managed through forced laughter. Henry stopped. God damn handsome bastard. Ted couldn't stay mad at him.
"I'm sorry I had to." Henry sat down on the floor next to him. Henry smiled. God he's so perfect.
"You didn't actually." Ted smirked. Not to make him feel bad just like pointing it out.
"But I wanted to." Henry chuckled. Seeing him happy was the best thing.
Ted kissed Henry. He could never leave Henry, not when he was sad, not when he was happy. Ted wanted to live in this moment forever. God.
"I love you."
Wait. Why did he say that? Holy shit Ted what are you thinking. You can't do that. You fucking dumbass.
"What." Henry's smile has disappeared.
Ted you fucked it up. The best thing that's happened to Ted in 5 months and he's fucked it up.
