Moonlight (c.m.)

ch. 11

It was late and everyone had fallen asleep, you think even Chris fell asleep. You were sitting in the common room, unable to sleep, thinking about what had happened earlier. The way he was so gentle with you and asked every time before he touched you. You knew it probably wasn't a good idea considering you had only started being intimate recently, but you felt so comfortable with him and you feel like you could trust him. There's still a part of you that is scared out of her mind, you don't want to be abandoned again. Your thoughts are interrupted when Chris sleepily walks in and to the fridge. It seems that he hadn't noticed you sitting on the couch. He grabs a water bottle and then jumps when he notices you.

"You okay? Can't sleep?" He asks, coming to sit next to you. You shake your head and curl into his side when he sits down. He wraps an arm around you. God you were so beautiful when the moonlight illuminated your (y/st) skin.

"Do you think we're moving too fast?" You whisper after a few minutes of silence, looking up at him.

"Why, do you? I'm sorry if I went too far today.." He answers, worry present in his voice.

"No, no it's okay I wanted you to, I was just thinking, and I want to know what you think."

He pauses for a moment, before kissing your forehead.

"(y/n).. Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asks, wondering what you were wanting from this relationship. The question caught you off guard, so you freeze for a moment.

"Do.... do you want me to be?" You ask, unsure if that's what he was asking.

"I... yes, I do. I really want you to be mine." Chris sighs and runs his fingers through your hair. You smile.

"Then yes, I will be your girlfriend." You lean up and kiss his cheek, and then he turns his face to kiss you on the lips. You couldn't believe this was happening, you honestly thought it was a dream. You were going to pinch yourself, but figured that would be weird. Chris pulls you into his lap and the collar of your oversized shirt droops down your shoulder. He notices the mark he had left earlier and smirks.

"Shit, I didn't mean to leave a mark, but I gotta admit, it's pretty hot when only the light from the moon shows it." He chuckles and runs his finger across the small bruise. You blush. You hadn't noticed it, but you couldn't see it unless you looked in the mirror. You nuzzle your face into the crook of his neck. He wraps his arms around you and rubs small circles on your back.

"How are we going to tell the others? Do you want to tell them?" You ask, your breath tickling his neck.

"Well it'll be pretty hard trying to hide it from the guys. We don't have to tell them until you're ready, though." He liked holding you like this. He knows you get insecure when he pulls you on his lap but he doesn't mind.

"I'm just not looking forward to my brother lecturing me." You let out a small laugh.

"We'll let them figure it out on their own. I'm not gonna hide my feelings for you unless you're uncomfortable." He smiles. You hum and place soft little kisses on his neck.

"Can you believe there's only 3 more dates of this tour? It seems like it's flown by." You mutter.

"Right? I've loved all of it but I'm being for real when I say I miss my own bed." He laughs.

"Isn't Anaheim tomorrow?" You finally lean your head up to look at him. He nods and you rest your forehead on his.

"You make me feel so safe and wanted. I never felt this way with Andy." You close your eyes and he caresses your thigh.

"That's because my feelings for you are real. I would never pretend to like you only to get in your pants. I still think I could've done worse to that fucker and gotten away with it." He grumbles.
