Jack's P.O.V

I woke to Declan's arms wrapped tightly around me. I shifted a bit.

"Good morning," Declan whispered in my ear. He pulled me closer towards him.

"Good morning," I responded. I, in return, twined my fingers in with his.

He sucked in a breath, then relaxed his fingers.

"Did you just..." Declan started, "make it official?"

"I suppose, yeah."

------

Even I was shocked at my actions. I never thought that I would be the cause of an actual relationship. Then, out of nowhere, Declan kissed me at the nape of my neck, very softly. I flinched a bit.

"Too far?" He asked.

"N-no," I stuttered.

"Good."

"What do you mean, 'good'?"

"What do you think?"

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"I still don't understand."

"Whatever."

I couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Guys," said Jenna. I had forgotten about the fact that there were other people in the room with us. "Could we get breakfast? It's 8:30."

I looked at the clock.

"So?" Retorted Declan.

"So, breakfast will be closing soon."

"Agh. It's too early." Declan rested his head on my shoulder.

"Declan, we have one hour to eat breakfast," Meribel pointed out.

"Half an hour should be enough," he said.

"True," said Jenna, "We'll wake you up at nine."

"Okay."

"Declan, I need to get dressed," I said.

"You have half an hour. Just stay fifteen minutes, please?"

"Fair enough." I rolled over so I was facing him.

"Oh hello," he said jokingly. He nestled his head into my shoulder, and I idly stroked his golden hair.

"What are you-"

"Oh, sorry."

"It's fine. I'm just not used to... to you?"

I understood what he was trying to say.

He gently put his leg over my waist. I wrapped my arms around his lower back.

"You make me want to stay here," I whispered.

"I've wanted to stay by your side since we were kids, Jack," he said. At first I thought he was joking, but he was dead serious.

"I think I wanted to be with you, too, but I just didn't accept it."

Declan quieted his voice. "How are we gonna tell them about.. you know, us?"

"We'll find a way."

We laid there for a long while.

"That's not what I meant by 'stay here'."
