Such a Dork

I look at Chris one last time as we walk together from work and I feel like exploding as I see him tense up and turn red in the corner of my eye.

I find the blushing adorable and it makes me 'hot' but why does he keep tensing up...we've been best friends for years I want him to be calm around me, I know he already goes through hell at home and he's told me only like once or twice how I seem to be his only escape, I dont want to become another thing that makes him stress.

"Chris wait" I gently take his hand as he takes a few more steps before stopping and turning around to look at me, he looks panicked as if he's ready for bad news or something.

"Y-yes" he's even say yes instead of yeah or what's up "Chris I just want to make this clear okay?" I say giving his hand a reassuring squeeze "What?" he says this in the most saddest tone I've ever heard as if he's given up on something, and I think I know what it is.

So I'm about to end all doubt right now cause "Anything I said last night I meant it Chris no it wasn't cause I was high, I know what I said and did, and I meant it" he pauses and I start to chuckle at the dorky smile he gives me as he does a smooth happy dance such a dork...my soon to be dork hopefully...nothing will happen if one of us don't start making moves I guess.

I smoothly put my arm around his shoulder and gently pull him in close to me, almost instantly he puts his head on my shoulder as if he didnt even have to think about it.

Okay is it just me or...maybe he does like me back...we've never done this before, yet he seemed so okay with it...that has to be a sign.

I can't keep the smile off my face as Sean is letting us keep Cheeseball, and I don't know about anyone else but I know I love a stray dog, I mean like they basically don't know what having folks who stick around and care for them is like and I love being the person who does take them in ya know?

I began to put my long locks into a bun, it's funny to think how if Sean didn't force me to sit down once a month and let him wash and brush my hair...I would definitely have a big matted mess on my head...I love that neat freak.

I walk out the bathroom and I see Sean still laying in bed his back towards me... I know my little humbly bear and I know he doesn't stay in bed longer than me. He's a early raiser, I'm a late waker. Only time he stayed in bed for this long was when he was having a bad mental day.

"Sweetie, You alright?" I say gently placing my hand on top of the blanket and I feel him shake from my touch, "Sean look at me" I say as I try to lean over his body to see his face, but he turns over and gives me a clear view, he gives me a smile and if I didnt know him I would've of easily fell for it.

I hate when he tries to pretend he's fine, even when I know whats wrong.

"Sean...its not your fault" is all I say for the tears he was holding back to come out, "Why didn't he stay in the car?"

Okay, now I know what memory is bugging him.

"Im going to be honest Sean I can't answer that question I dont know why, but I know that it's not your fault, I know you did your best to keep Daniel safe and you taught him valuable lessons while it was just you two out there...so don't think that his choice to stay behind had anything to do with what you did and how you protected him" I lie down next to him and pull him in to cuddle.

I hate when Sean feels like this, I try to remind that it's not his fault whenever I can but I know it's not that easy.

I hold him for as long as I could and I feel his tears sweeping into my shirt. I hold him until I feel him calm down as much as I know he could at this moment.

"I have to go to work soon sweetie but I promise, I'll be back before you know it" I try to gentle get up but I feel his strong grasp on tshirt hold me down.

I know him and I know he's not gonna budge unless I make a deal with him that he likes.

I could stay here with him and risk getting in trouble at work or fired fifty fifty chance since I tend to be late often or I could just...

"Hey, do you wanna just come with me?" I say and I feel his grip on my shirt loosen up. He looks up at me and giving me this big goofy smile to show, he wouldn't mind that.

Okay so I guess my love is coming to work with me today.
