"Just Friends"

Should we tell?

Mitch's POV
I nuzzle into Jerome as he carries me up. "Did... Did you get my letter?" I ask quietly.
"Yes. And my answer is of course" he smiles and lays on his bed. I cuddle into him "wanna watch a movie later?"
"Sure biggums" he smiles
"Hey Jerome?"
"Yeah Mitch?"
"Are we... are we together?" I whisper, assuming my cheeks are crimson, hiding my face in his chest.
"Yes Mitch. We are together... If you want"
"I do. I do want" I grin and look up at him. He smiles at me, leaning down and kissing me lightly.
"Merry Christmas Biggums"
"Merry Christmas G" I whisper into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck. Our lips moving perfectly in sync. After what feels like hours of fireworks, he pulls back. "Hey Biggums... that was really nice" he whispers and I grin "yes. Yes it was. Just... when should we tell?"
"I'm just scared about my dad Mitch..."
"I WON'T let him do anything to you Jerome. I promise." I whisper as he holds me tight, I fall asleep soon after.

-A couple hours later-
Jerome's POV
I let Mitch sleep for a little while, and my parents come up to say goodbye.
"Goodbye Jerome... Why is Mitch asleep on your lap?" My mothers asks quietly.
"He's probably just confused from the medicine. RIGHT, Jerome?" My father says strictly and I whimper slightly.
"Right. He fell asleep when we were walking up here" I lie "goodnight. Merry Christmas". I wait until my parents are out of the driveway, and wake up Mitch. "Mitch. Time to get up buddy"
Mitch wakes up with a groan "ughhhhhhh. What time is it?"
"9:30 PM. I was thinking we could take a walk or watch a movie or something?"
"Mmm movie sounds good" he smiles and kisses my cheek. "Are your parents still here?"
"No. They just came into say goodbye. You were asleep" I smile and lift him up "lesgo!" I put him on my back and run down the stairs, jumping onto the couch. "I'm gonna make some popcorn" I set him down and walk to the kitchen.
