"Anthony, Not My Braids"

Chapter Thirteen

Mitchel had awoken as soon as Christian moved his hand, but he kept his eyes closed because he didn't feel like getting up just yet. He heard Christian leave the room after someone had knocked and this left him curious. No doubt it was probably Alexa. His mind drifted back to last night. The feeling of Christian's big arms around him, supporting him, comforting him. His heart ached, he loved him so much and he knew it. He wanted to be with him. Wanted to kiss him. To touch him. His heart genuinely hurt.

A knock on the door distracted him from his thoughts. It was Christian. Mitchel seriously thought he'd have just left without saying anything. But here he was, bringing him breakfast in bed. His hair was messy and he was shirtless. Mitchel couldn't stop the skip in his chest.

"Good morning sunshine, I made us Vegemite toast with orange juice."

He walked over and placed the tray infront of Mitchel.

"Wow, who knew you could be such a house husband haha?"

Mitchel took a bite of the toast and instantly moaned. Christian almost choked on his orange juice. Fuck Mitchel loved Vegemite. God damn. Worlds best creation..well besides Christian.

"Hey haha I'd make a fucking fantastic house husband" he said as he pulled on Mitchel's braids.

"Quit doing that you egghead." He smacked Christian's hand away and chuckled.

For a moment everything was back to how it used to be. The joking, the laughing. It felt nice. But then Mitchel remembered how fucking gorgeous he was and the fact that he had a girlfriend and he instantly felt guilty.

"Okay so today we have a meeting at 2:00pm but I was thinking afterwards we could go see a movie, something scary. What do you say?" Christian asked in-between bites.

"Yeah sounds good, you gonna bring Alexa?"

"Nah I was thinking it could just be you and me.. i- if you want?"

Christian was getting anxious, he didn't know it he was making shit awkward.

"That sounds good to me, but you're paying for snacks." Mitchel practically run out of his room.

"Wha- fine but your buying the tickets then." Christian replied chasing after him.

By 5:00 pm the two boys were sat in the cinema waiting for the movie to start. They decided to see the movie "us." The trailer looked pretty good. Mitchel had bought the tickets and Christan had bought the snacks. Mitchel refused to go see a movie without snacks. Christian looked over to see him chowing down on the popcorn before the movie had even begun. He couldn't help but laugh.

"What?" Mitchel snorted.

" Nothing."

"Why'd you laugh then?"

"The movie hasn't even started yet man."

"I'm fucking hungry dude, I haven't eaten since breakfast."

"That's fair." Christian chuckled.

Halfway Through the movie some scary shit happened. Christian was not having it, he squinted his eyes as a crazy bitch randomly popped on to the screen. His hand uncontrollably reached for Mitchel's

Mitchel was looked at boys hand on top of him. He gradually intertwined their fingers as Christian squeezed his hand at another jump scare. Mitchel chuckled. Wow he was cute.

Mitchel was too far gone already. He really did love this boy..
