can i be close to you ~ boreo

part eleven

for the rest of the day i had never been more happy. like, a literal true happiness. it was awesome.

that night (thursday) me and boris decided to not skip school because it was friday and we really didn't have anything better to do.

the night was ideal, though. i didn't want it to end.

whenever we got ready to go to sleep, which was at 12am, we got into bed as usual.

"potter." i had the sheet lifted up, ready to get under the covers. i turned around and looked at him.

he was in the bed already, laying down and looking up at the ceiling.

i got in bed and looked at him.

"yeah?"

"i wanna... what's the word.. snuggle?" i felt my cheeks get hot. i smiled. he looked over to me and also smiled.

"me too" i replied lightly, almost in a whisper.

he extended his arms out and embraced me into a hug. i buried my face into his collarbone. i felt him brush his fingers through my hair continuously.

i put my arm over him, and then felt his legs intertwine with mine. this is exactly what i wanted. what i thought would never happen. i was so happy, more than words could express.

"i love you potter" he whispered on the top of my head, and then planted a soft kiss. i smiled into his neck, "i love you too boris"

the fear of being called faggots washed away in that period of time. mainly because it just felt so right. like i was meant to be with him, and no one could judge us for it because it's love. but sadly, no matter what, we would get judged.

i closed my eyes, still smiling. boris was still playing with my hair. he was the perfect boyfriend.

———

the next morning, or not necessarily morning, but four hours later i woke up. it was 4:32am, the birds weren't even chirping yet. it was nearly dawn.

i expected to wake up at 8, an hour after school began, then me and boris would laugh until we couldn't breathe for forgetting. but no, either way since xandra was here she'd make sure we leave so she had the house to herself. that's the only reason she cared.

mine and boris's legs were still intertwined, and our heads were on the same pillow. his tiny snores in between his breathing were so cute. he still had his arms around me, and every time i moved, even just shifting a little bit, his grasp around me tightened.

i could smell his cigarette and beer breath, but i didn't mind of course. it just reminded me that it was him i was cuddling.

i tried to go back to sleep, but i just wasn't tired. while staying awake, i had nothing to do since boris kept holding me closer when i moved. which was sweet and cute, but i was bored.

"borisssss" i groaned. he puffed a little bit but didn't move much.

"boris." nothing

"boris!" he stretched his legs a little and squinted.

"BORIS." he was awake.

"jesus potter, what's wrong?" he asked, sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"nothing, it's just when you were sleeping and i was awake every time i tried to get up you wouldn't let me." i could see him start to blush.

"oh.. sorry..."

"no don't apologize, it's cute." and now, i was blushing too.

boris laid back down and turned over to look at me.

"what time is it?" he asked.

"like... 4:40 or something. i'm pretty sure xandra is gonna make us go to school without choice." boris groaned.

"but whyyyyyyy"

"because she's a bitch and wants the house to herself." i snickered. boris laughed a little too.

"sure. but i don't want to! i just wanna snuggle with you all day instead." it made my heart happy whenever he said snuggle instead of cuddle.

"me too, but it's only one day then we have the weekend. we can make it through." he nodded his head, staring at my lips. it was obvious. i smiled and hid my face under the blanket.

"stop ittttt." i said playfully. i could hear his giggles, and he was taking the blanket away from me.

"boris stop it!" i said laughing, covering my face with my hands. he was laughing too and trying to take my hand away from my face. of course he was stronger than me so he won that battle.

as soon as he got both of my hands away, he immediately pressed our lips together. all of my emotions were colliding together.

the kiss lasted for almost half a minute. we both pulled away to catch our breath.

not even five seconds later, i latched my arms around his neck and kissed him again. he put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. our bare chests were touching.

after about another 20 seconds our lips disconnected. i kept staring into his eyes, though. it was almost like there was a magnetic pulse not allowing me to look away.

"boris.." i said, after looking away finally.

"hm?"

"do we have to act all coupley today at school."

"not unless you want to." he said, moving my hair out of my face.

"okay.. can we wait a little bit? i don't want anyone to call us names or physically attack us." he planted a short and delicate kiss on my lips.

"i'll make sure nobody hurts you, potter. but we can wait as long as you want to, yes?" i smiled a little.

"okay." i buried my face in his chest, and sighed. today was gonna be a long day
