A FOREVER THING ❤︎ WHY DONT WE

twenty four

♡ ♡ ♡

after daniel was sure his parents had left for work, he went back inside his house and changed into sweats and a casual shirt. things he wouldn't normally wear to school as he had a reputation for his clothing style.

after changing, he texted corbyn to come over. which the blonde obliged almost instantly. he knocked on the door quickly before daniel opened it.

"so, explain to me why you aren't at school for the morning?" corbyn knit his eyebrows together as he looked at the brunette.

"i needed time to think about something." "okay... and why am i here? i mean no offense, but besides the two times we had big arguments you've barely said two words to me."

"i needed time to think about you, corbyn." daniel huffed, "oh.. what about me?"

"what you were making me feel. what you are making me feel." daniel took a step closer to the blonde, who didn't move at all in protest to the boy's actions.

"daniel.. you have a boyfriend. don't do something you'll regret." corbyn whispered as the brunette continued to inch closer.

corbyn suddenly felt his back hit against the wall, just now did he realize that he had been moving backwards when daniel was moving forwards.

then all of a sudden, in that moment, thoughts of his father came rushing through his brain and he became terrified.

his breathing grew heavy, which daniel had noticed immediately, "corbyn.. what's wrong? am i scaring you?" daniel's attitude has completely changed, worried he hurt him by his actions.

"i just... something.. it reminded me of... him." "your dad?" corbyn just nodded rapidly. "corbyn i'm not him. i would never do anything like that to you and you know it."

"i'm not your father. and i'm not that dick, ashton. i would never." daniel spoke very clearly so he knew corbyn would know that. "i'm sorry." the blonde whispered.

"it's okay." "i– uhm– w-what are you doing though?" corbyn swallowed the lump in his throat he hadn't known was there.

"i'm doing something that i wish i had done a month ago." as daniel began to lean him, corbyn stopped him. "as much as i'm dying for that to happen right now, daniel.. you have a boyfriend. please don't do something you'll regret?"

"you think i would ever regret kissing you? corbyn, if you left here and went back to stanford without me kissing you, that's what i would regret."

corbyn didn't say another word, he grabbed daniel's cheeks and smashed their lips together.

when they broke apart, daniel couldn't stop smiling. "i want to play you something." he whispered, grabbing his guitar that was in the family room as he led corbyn to the backyard.

"i wrote this a short while ago. before i met griffin. like right after i had left california last month." he cleared his throat and began to sing.

"i met him on a monday evening. he was standing outside of the park and ride, and i say hey ma, where you been? been looking for a boy like you for all my life."

"and he said, "ola, talk to me, before i have to leave" and one day we could be maybe more than two lost souls just passing by."

"knew i was falling when i looked inside your eyes, he said, "i know you are but what am i?"

"tell me, have you seen a sunset turn into a sunrise. kiss right through the night. cause we should try that sometime, hold you till the morning and if i said i'm falling would you just reply "i know you are but what am i"?"

"open the door to my apartment, when we get in. kissing on my neck you throw my jacket to the side. i know your heart is beating quick, and if you put your head on my chest yeah the same as mine."

"and we'll be making love until the sun comes up. but one day, maybe i, i could put a ring on your finger before you change your mind yeah."

"knew i was falling when i looked inside your eyes, he said "i know you are but what am i?"

"tell me, have you seen a sunset turn into a sunrise. kiss right through the night. cause we should try that sometime, hold you till the morning. and if i said i'm falling, would you just reply "i know you are but what am i"?"

finishing the last final strums, corbyn was almost in tears. very similar to how it was the last time daniel played a song for him.

"daniel... i can't get over your voice! you are amazing!" corbyn gawked. "thanks.. but uh... what'd you think?"

"i'm definitely falling too." he giggled. with his response, daniel resulted in a huge smile, leaning over and connecting their lips roughly while managing to lead a sweet kiss.

"i love you daniel." corbyn muttered into the kiss. "likewise." daniel responded hoarsely.

the two stayed for almost an hour, just gushing to each other. and just as he knew he would, daniel felt terribly guilty, but he loved corbyn. he really really did.

they got ready and waited for jack to pick them up, which by the time he did, it was a little into fourth period. but daniel didn't care, he was just worried for music class with griffin.
