What We Do For Fun // Gawsten

Epilogue

three weeks later 

For the past 3 weeks, Geoff has been trying to figure out what to do. His mom already knows he's staying with us and surprisingly doesn't care too much, but Geoff on the other hand is freaking out. He's been wanting to go back to his house, but at the same time he feels like going back at this point will just be plain awkward and he doesn't want that. 

"You know we don't mind you staying here.", I remind him for the hundredth time. 

"I know, but I still feel like I'm just intruding on you guys. I don't want to just come in and take over everything, but at the same time I don't want to go back home."

We were sitting in the kitchen while my mom was out buying groceries. We've been going back and forth on what he wants to do and honestly I don't mind having him here. It feels nice to have someone here that isn't my mom. 

"Fine", I start, "How about this? My mom loves you and you know she won't let you just leave out of the ordinary so how about you talk to her when she comes. I'm a little biased, but I mean I want you to stay here, but then again it's completely your decision and I'll be fine with whatever you choose."

He just nodded and for the rest of the time we just made small talk until my mom came back. 

Once she came into the kitchen, I felt Geoff just shut down because he really didn't know what to do. 

"Geoff kinda wants to talk to you about something and I think it'll be best if I left so I'll be up in my room for a bit.", I say getting up from my stool. My mom nods and quickly goes to put her purse back in her room leaving us two alone for a bit. 

"Whatever you decide I'll be okay with it. Just make sure it's your choice.", I give him a peck and run upstairs as my mom walks into the kitchen to talk with him. 

I sat there. 

I just sat in silence until I figured he was ready. 

I just wanted to make sure he's doing what he wants and not just because I want him to stay with me. I sat on my bed just messing with my phone for 15 minutes until I started getting bored. 

I'm so used to having Geoff around I hardly get bored anymore so this is what I'm going to have to get used to again if he leaves. I just sighed and started staring at the wall hoping he would choose to stay with us until he gets his own place which shouldn't even be that far from now. 

I was taken out of my gaze when I heard the door open and Geoff walk in. 

"So what's happening?", I say trying to act not anxiously. 

"I'm sorry.", he said pouting making my heart sink. 

Oh. I knew he would do this. He probably didn't even want to stay with me in the first place and I just forced him. 

"It's fine I guess I'll -", he cut me off. 

"I guess you'll have to see me everyday!", he said making me gasp. 

"Wait like for real?! You're staying?!", I ask excitedly hoping he wasn't lying. 

"I am! And don't worry, this was my own decision so don't think you're making me. Plus I promised you I would never leave you and I keep my promises.", he said making me smile. 

"But it's all on your doing right?", he nodded making me jump up to my feet and crash into his body with a hug. I never wanted to let go. We were going to be roommates for who knows how long and I just wanted to be held by him forever. 

"I really like you, Awsten even though I guess it's a sin.", he laughed. 

"I guess you could say sinning is what we do for fun."

He laughed, "I hate you."
