"I just came to check on you because your message made no sense last night." Aubrey turned her phone towards you.

The message really made no sense as it only consisted of the pepper emoji and the cherry emoji. You had also poorly spelled Shorter's name as 'Sgortrr'.

You looked at Aubrey absolutely puzzled. If you never slept with Shorter why did you send that message in the first place?

"I'm glad you're okay, I left some soup on the counter I gotta head back to work."

"Thanks..." you mumbled watching Aubrey walk out. You heard the door front door shut and finally decided to get up and check if Shorter was still there.

As you entered your living room Shorter stirred awake a confused look on his face. He turned his attention on you and gave a small smile still half asleep.

"Morning." Shorter yawned motioning for you to come sit with him. You moved slowly trying to figure out the situation.

"Good morning, how did you sleep?"

"The couch isn't as comfy as you are." He pulls you into his arms and falls back onto the couch.

Shorter's head rested on your chest and a hand on your waist. Both yours and Shorter's legs becoming a tangled mess.

"Shorter.." you whisper your hand hesitantly coming to play with his hair.

"Hm?" he hums nuzzling further into you if even possible.

"I missed you." It was silent for a moment until Shorter finally spoke up.

"Then why push me away?" He propped himself up to stare down at you.

"I know it's because of what I do, but we could've made it work." Shorter adds.

"I was just scared about what could happen to either of us," You looked away not able to look Shorter in the eyes.

"What if we got to close and I lost you..."

"You won't lose me," His hand reaches up to your face making you face him.

"I'll make sure that doesn't happen to either of us." His lips meet yours in a warm and passionate kiss.

Shorter pulls away a satisfied smile plastered on his face. A light blush spread across yours.

"That was the corniest shit I've ever heard." You giggled.

"And you loved it." Shorter chuckled.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." You lightly push him away and get up.

"Well sleeping with you helps," He stands up and pulls you back into his arms.

"and knowing that you'll be mine."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear you say any of that."

"C'mon what do I have to do to make it happen?" Shorter releases you and follows you into the kitchen.

"Well first you nee-" you were interrupted by the knocking on your door.

"Are you expecting someone?" You shake your head no and Shorter cautiously moves to the door. You watch as he looks through the peephole trying to make out who the person was.

"Who is it?"

"Some guy with black hair?" You move to the door to see and it was just Kane.

"It's just Kane." You answer the door so that you're the only person in his view.

"Hey I just wanted to apologize again for what happened. If it's okay I brought breakfast." Kane beams.

"Oh uh it's okay no need to apologize." You laugh nervously.

"Who's here?" Shorter steps into view opening the door wider.

"Why's he here?" Kane glares at the purple haired male.

"Shorter? Yes Shorter was just leaving, right?" Shorter looked at you puzzled a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"Yeah, I just wanted to see if Aubrey was available. I guess I'll visit her at work then." He grabs his jacket and glasses before heading out.

You watch sadly as he leaves. Why am I always doing this? You let Kane in and sit down to watch TV and eat. The whole time you could only think about Shorter.

Why did I let him leave like that?
