Moonlight (c.m.)

ch. 6

Kylie is the first one awake, and she comes into the common room, seeing you and Chris asleep on the couch. You were curled up beside him, your arm draped over his waist and his arm around you. She tilts her head in confusion, but smiles. It was cute. She takes a quick picture and then sits down on the couch, checking her social media. Ghost is the next one awake, and he sees the two of you and he scrunches his nose.

"Why are they asleep together?" He half-whispers to Kylie. He didn't like this at all. He figured you probably fell asleep without intending on sleeping beside him, but it still bothered him.

"I don't know, I guess they just fell asleep when they were talking last night." Kylie had been awake, and she could hear you and Chris talking in the common room. You stir in your sleep, starting to wake up. Your neck hurt from the way you were sleeping last night, so you sat up and rubbed it with your hand. You look down and see Chris, fast asleep beside you and your eyes widen. Had you fallen asleep on him? Why didn't he move you? Your heart flutters, and then you look up to see your brother with a disapproving look.

"Good morning." You yawn, before untangling yourself from the tall, tattooed man beside you to walk to the bathroom. Ghost follows you and stops you before you reach the bathroom.

"Why were you sleeping beside Chris?" He asks, a little more stern than he had intended. You roll your eyes and shrug.

"Neither of us could sleep last night so we stayed up and talked for a while, and I guess I fell asleep.." You mutter. You had fallen asleep beside Ricky like this once before, so you don't know why your brother was getting so upset.

"Just be careful, (y/n). Don't attach yourself to the first person to show you any sign of affection." He says. This hurt your feelings. A lot. You furrow your brows and just look at him.

"Good to know that you think I'm an attention whore." You grumble before entering the bathroom and slamming the door. You lock it and walk over to the mirror, looking at yourself. Your throat burned and you tried to bite back the tears forming in your eyes. You weren't that needy or desperate. You sniffle and wipe your nose. You had literally been like that with Ricky before, why was he so upset that it was Chris? You sigh and turn on the shower, making sure it was hot enough before stepping in.

Fuck. Ghost hadn't meant to hurt your feelings like that, he just wanted you to be careful. Chris was his friend, but he didn't want you with him. He wasn't sure why, there wasn't a particular reason, it just bothered him. He walks back out into the common room and sits beside Kylie.

"What did you say to her?" She says bitterly. She heard the door slam, so she knew he had said something that set you off. Before Devin could speak, Chris groaned and sat up, rubbing his hands across his face. His back was killing him. He noticed you weren't beside him and he frowns. Did you leave in the middle of the night? Probably because you were uncomfortable..

"She's in the bathroom." Ghost grumbles, seeing how Chris looked around for you. He leaned forward and lowered his voice. "Listen, I know you care about my sister as much as the rest of us, but don't lead her on. She's especially vulnerable right now. I don't think you would lead her on, but she tends to get attached easily." Devin whispers, looking Chris dead in the face. Chris was shocked, he didn't know how to respond. He thought for a moment.

"Why would you assume I would lead her on? I know she doesn't like me that way dude. She may get attached to other people, but she's not attached to me. I was just talking to her last night and she fell asleep on my shoulder." Chris explains, figuring you would never get attached to someone like him. He was irked that Ghost would think he would lead you on, he's not that type of guy.
