Temporary Bliss [boyxboy]

49: Shooting Star

Caleb

When I woke up the next morning, I was in Finn's bed, and it took me a second or two to call the events of the night before back into my mind.

When they finally came back to me, I had to smile at the boy who was still fast asleep in my arms, breathing calm and even.

I snuggled up even closer to him with a quiet sigh.

So, Finn was my boyfriend now.
But... what came next? What would Matt and Danny say?

I had thought so much about the possibility, that now that it actually was a reality, I didn't know how to act. It had always been so theoretic in my head.

I had to think quick now, though. Because if I didn't get this right, I knew I'd lose Finn for good.

He'd already given me about a million second chances, but I had a feeling that this really was the last one. I didn't want to - I couldn't screw it up like I had a million times before.

It wouldn't be easy to pretend I wasn't an asshole, but I was willing to try my very best.

I gently twirled a lock of Finn's blonde hair between my fingers as I looked fondly at him.

I didn't know how the hell he managed to make me feel so sappy and gay all the time, but I had mostly come to terms with that fact.

I finally noticed that I needed to pee, and tried to slowly untangle myself from Finn so that I wouldn't wake him up, but despite all my efforts he was soon mumbling something inaudible and slowly opening his eyes.

He looked confused and disoriented for a moment until his eyes focused on me sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Uh..." he grumbled, "morning."

I didn't know what I had expected him to say after the rollercoaster of a night we had had, but it hadn't been that.

"Morning," I replied, a little unsure how to go about all this.

I resorted to just staring at Finn, waiting for him to say or do something.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer," he said, voice still raspy and a lazy smile turning up the corners of his mouth.

My stomach felt funny, and I had to smile back.

"Your wish is my command," I answered, picking up my phone from the bedside table and quickly snapping a picture before he could even react.

The blonde boy laughed quietly, and reached for my hand, pulling me back down onto the bed.

He laced our fingers together and smiled at me softly, "Sleep well?"

I nodded and despite not having planned to, I ducked down and registered a soft kiss to his Finn's lips that made my head feel fuzzy and my heart skip a beat.

Was this going to happen every time from now on?

"Your breath stinks," Finn chuckled a second later and I flipped him off with a grin.

"So does yours."

After having brushed our teeth to avoid any more stinky breath, we headed downstairs to get started on breakfast.
Matt and Danny seemed to be out somewhere.

"If I have to eat pancakes for breakfast one more time I'm gonna puke," I warned Finn as he scanned the pantry, debating what we could make.

"Fine, then. What's the other option?"

"I dunno," I shrugged, "literally anything but pancakes."

"Thanks, that's a huge help," the blonde boy huffed, "Omelette okay with you?"
