the cafe

Jorge's POV

Benji and I were cuddled up together on the couch by the end of the movie. I look over at his sleeping face, and I can't help but smile. I'm so glad to be by his side. He may be the big dominant one, but I know deep down he's a softie. I'd protect that face with my life.

But I need some water.

I try to carefully move without waking him, but the moment I adjust myself he pulls me closer to his chest.

"Don't get up, Jorge." He murmurs, half asleep.

"Benji..." I try to wriggle out of his grasp.

"Stooop." He groans, fluttering open his dark brown hues.

I blush just looking at him. He looks back at me, longingly, for only a moment. Then he releases his hold on me.

As I go fill up a plastic cup with water, Benji sits up on the couch.

"Hey, Jorge?"

I turn my head, looking at him try to fix his bed head.

"Yeah?

"Do you want to... Go out? I don't mean like as a couple- Unless you- I- Can we get something to eat?"

"Benji Krol, are you asking me out on a date?" I tease, setting my cup down.

"No! I- Well, yes."

I love seeing him flustered.

"Where were you thinking?" I ask.

He looks up at me, shyly. I'm surprised he's being like this. Just moments ago I couldn't get him off of me.

"There's a cafe not too far from here." He offers.

"Yeah," I smile, "That sounds nice. But first I really need to change my clothes." I motion towards the outfit I've been wearing since the party.

"Oh- Of course! I'm sorry, I totally didn't even think about that. You can have something from my closet. Let's go upstairs." Benji says, as I get up to follow him.

Benji's POV:

I lead Jorge upstairs and grab the hoodie I had brought to the party for Addy. Pulling open my other drawer, I look for joggers that might fight Jorge's tiny frame.  The smallest pair that I have are gray.

"Here," I hand him the clothes. "Don't get a boner." I add.

"Should I change in the bathroom?" He asks, glancing nervously at me.

" I mean, if you want to. But I don't mind." I say kindly, hoping that he does stay in here.

He nods and takes off his shirt, trying to cover himself.

"Jorge, don't be embarrassed." I laugh.

"It's just... You have all these muscles and I-" He looks down at his bony body.

I get off the bed and put my arms around his bare shoulders.

"I like you just the way you are." I whisper, looking into his eyes.

I hold him close to me, feeling his heart beat quicken against my chest. Before I can kiss him, he lets go of me and finishes putting on his clothes.

Well, my clothes.

The hoodie looks even cuter on him than I had imagined. It's so big and oversized, he kind of looks like a little kid. He's so adorable.

We get in my car and I drive over to the cafe, Jey Jey riding shotgun. When we get there, I hold the door open behind him. The sweet aroma of pastries fills the air.
