Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter six; Day five♡

Tyler's POV (play when said)

I grin as I pull Craig closer to me. I lift my head up slightly seeing the sun peeking from the horizon. It had to be around 6 am, this is too early for me.

I stuff my face back into Craig's soft hair which seems to wake him up. "I'm sorry." I whisper quietly into his hair. He giggles and sighs. "It's alright." He replies. I smile and rub small circles into his side.

He giggles and grabs my hand, interlocking his fingers with mine. "I could lay here for hours honestly." I chuckle and pull him closer. "Me too, so why don't we? It's not like we got anything else to do." I say. He chuckles and rolls over on his back. He turns his head to me and smiles making me smile back.

I had my elbow prepped up holding my head up well my other hand held Craig's on his chest. I rubbed circles using my thumb between his thumb and index finger.

"Who knew Tyler Wilde was so sweet." He chuckled. I joined him and hummed. "I wouldn't say that." I say. Craig turns his head to me and cocks an eyebrow. "Really? You're like the sweetest person I've ever met." I laugh. "Tyler I'm being serious." I cock my own eyebrow at him and grin. "I know, it's just hard to believe you would say that to me." He giggles and looks to the ceiling.

"You know, this is the first relationship  I've ever been in." He looks back to me. I raise my eyebrows at him. "We're in a relationship now?" Craig's eyes shoot open making me laugh. Just as he was about to open his mouth I lean in and kiss him. He yelps but melts into it.

I pull away and smirk down at him. "I'm only joking Craig." He smiles but frowns quickly after causing me to also frown. "What? What did I say something wrong?" I ask, tilting my head to the side. "What are we?" I make a weird face at him. He rolls his eyes. "I mean what is this?" He says, using his other hand to point to our hands and us. I feel my eyes widen a bit as I look at my hand holding Craig's. "I-I don't know. I thought you hated me and I was done for good so I just straight out told you. I didn't think this would happen." I explain. Craig hums and looks back to the ceiling.

I sigh deeply and grip his hand. He looks to me and raises a brow. "I won't leave Tyler, not unless you tell me too." I smile and look down.

"Craig?" I speak. He hums and looks to me. All of a sudden my bottom lip quivers and my eyes tear up. Craig's eyes widen as he sits up and pulls me into his arms. I wrap mine around his waist and sob into his neck, I don't know what I'm crying about to be honest. I just feel so vulnerable, so weak. Craig makes me feel so much better about everything, about my father, my mother, my friends, I don't have to be fake around him, I can actually be myself and he accepts me for me.

"Tyler what's wrong?" He asks. Concern filling his voice. I grip the back of his hoodie as I feel my body shake under his touch. "P-pl-ease" I sob. "Please what Tyler?" He asks as he rubs circles on my back. "D-don't l-le-leave me." I was breaking down, I can't stop. "I won't ever, I would never dream of it." He says. His voice sounded so soft, so sweet, he reminded me so much of my mother. So kind and caring, always putting others before himself.

Finally after five more minutes I calm down enough to pull away from him. I wipe my nose and chuckle as he smiles at me. "T-thank you." I whisper. He giggles and rubs my upper arms. "No problem Tyler. Never feel like you can't be yourself around me and if you ever need someone to break down to come to me okay? Just call me and we'll meet up somewhere." I smile and nod.

"I don't have your number though." Craig chuckles and grabs his phone and unlocks it then goes into his contacts. "Here." He says as he hands me his phone. I grab mine and quickly put the number in and send a quick text even though I know it won't work.
