Good to know
And cute.  I'll show Ro in the morning


I clicked my phone off and sighed, glancing over to my sleeping boyfriend.  Mochi was cuddled up to his side, Ninja on the opposite side.  It was cute, but I could still see how red his nose was from all the tissues he'd gone through earlier in the day.  Even his breathing made the occasional sniffling sound whenever he exhaled.

I really, really need to tell him...

Romeo's POV~

A lot of thoughts have been plagueing my mind recently.  Thoughts that have been happening for a while, but were for some unforsaken reason affecting my mindset a lot more than they should.  They amped up my paranoia a lot and have left me with very little to say.

Stop panicking, Romeo.  T's gonna win custody for sure so there's literally nothing to worry about.

But that's not why I'm panicking... I honestly don't even fully understand it myself, but...

"Hey, stop thinking so hard." Orion spoke, voice coming out of nowhere as he sat by my side.  His arm snaked around my shoulders to pull me in.  "You seriously look like you're about to cry, so cool your brain.  The gears look like their smoking and need some time to rest.  Are you sure you slept enough?"

I shook the shocked expression quickly from my face, brows furrowing uncomfortably.  "Mhmm. I'm fine..."  My eyes hesitated to look at him and instead trained on the television.

We were in the living room, having decided to binge the entire Avatar series seeing as I woke up to him being at work and had literally nothing better to do on a sick day.  I wasn't really too much better than I'd been yesterday, but I didn't feel like spending another entire day in bed.  There needed to be a change of scenery, hence why I moved to the sofa.

Orion clicked his tongue.  "Like hell.  That mind never stops churning, so stop lying.  It's obvious you've been distracted.  What's wrong?"

I shrugged, still avoiding his eyes.  "It's nothing.  Really. I'm just being stupid..."

Aaah, fuck, I should've worded that differently...  I really don't want to talk about it...

"You're not stupid.  Why would you think that?"  His gaze burned into my skin.  It was too late to run away.

I gulped dryly, reluctancy weighing my words.The saliva scraped its way down my throat as the fears rose up.  "... Did, um...  Did we... rush... into this relationship..?  Did it happen too quickly?"
