Follow You (Oli Sykes Fan Fiction) COMPLETE

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Oli's alarm went off at 8am. We'd managed 6 hours sleep, so it was fine, though what I wouldn't give to be able to have a lazy morning in bed with him... "Good morning." he said with a yawn as he stretched his arms up above his head. "Good morning." I said, still cuddled up to him. I had to leave for fashion week at 10am, so that was when he was heading to the airport for his flight at 12:30 too. "Should I go and make us breakfast?" I asked, wondering if he was hungry.
"No, no. Let me take you to breakfast." he said, flashing me a smile. "Are you sure?" I asked. "Yeah, is there somewhere close?" he asked. There was a place right around the corner that I went to pretty often, so I told him. "Ok, well whenever you're ready, we'll go." he said. I kissed him, rolled over and headed to my dresser to get an outfit ready, then laid it out on the bed before brushing my teeth. Oli was already up and dressed by time I was done. He threw this things back into his bag while I dressed and within 15 minutes of getting up we were out the door, and walking down the street to my local cafe. "Can I hold your hand?" he asked as he walked beside me. I looked over at him with a furrowed brow. "Of course you can." I replied a little unsure why he asked. He smiled and grabbed my hand, linking his fingers in mine. It was actually so cute that he'd asked. We got a table up the back of the cafe and both ordered the vegan corn fritters with beetroot relish and hommus - as well as coffees.

"Did you say you have time off in November?" Oli asked me randomly as we ate our breakfast "Mmm yeah I think maybe two weeks or something like that." I replied. "Why's that?" I asked. He sipped his coffee and scrolled through his phone. "Well, maybe you'll think it's crazy, but would you want to come to Asia?" he asked, shooting his eyes up to mine from his phone. "Asia?" I said questioningly.
"We're touring there for 10 days... Japan, Taiwan, somewhere else." he said. "I mean, you don't have to, but I'd like to take you." he added, scooping up a forkful of food into his mouth, still looking at me for an answer. "Are you serious?" I replied. "I'll have to check the dates with Luiz, but that would be amazing!" I added with a smile. He started telling me about Japan and how much he loves it there, about the kooky stuff you can buy and see, and the robot cafes - he clearly loved the robot cafes. We headed back to my apartment hand-in-hand with about 40 minutes left before we had to say goodbye, and this time he didn't ask permission.

I spent our last bit of time together chatting with Oli while I pottered around the apartment; getting ready for another day of fashion week and of course, cuddling up with him on the couch; getting in as much closeness as I could before the 3 weeks of not seeing him. "Do you remember that night we went to Skrillex, and I came and cuddled with you on the couch?" I asked, thinking back to the only time in London that I'd really let my guard down with him. "Yeah, of course I do. You freaked out about it the next day." he said with an amused tone. "Ugh, I was such a mess." I groaned. "I really wanted to kiss you that night though, you know that right?" I said looking at him a little shyly.
"You almost did a couple of times..." he replied.
"I know..." I said with a laugh. "On the couch when I was on your lap, then on the dancefloor." I said remembering that night so vividly in my mind.
"Do you know how hard it was for me to not kiss you?!" he said, kind of laughing a little. "I wanted to so badly, but I knew it had to be your decision, so I had to keep stopping myself." he added with a laugh. It was nice to hear him say that. He was so considerate. "You know the boys thought I was fucking insane for not just going for it. They were giving me shit the entire time you were with us." he laughed. "But I guess I liked getting to know you without any physical stuff." he said. "The only thing I regret is not saying anything to you when I left." he added, suddenly looking serious. "That moment haunts me. I can't believe I just walked away from you when I felt something..." he trailed off. I could hardly believe how open he was being at this random point in time, but it was so nice. I leaned up and kissed his chin. "I just knew it wasn't coincidence that our paths crossed so many times." he said. "Anyway..." he said, quickly backing away from saying anything else, like he thought he'd scare me off. "I remember that night you drunk cuddled me, I liked it a lot." he said playfully. I laughed and propped myself up so I could kiss him. God I felt so carefree around him. Being with him was so easy.
