When the Day Met the Night

The Night Their Love died

I huff in anoyance at my brother who seems to be in an agrivating mood this afternoon. For the past three hours i have been attempting to write my essay for my physics finals, but i have gotten absolutely nowhere thanks to Kayden playing his Xbox obnoxiously loud. I glare at the side of his head, within the select few moments i have been glaring at him i have thought of at LEAST 50 ways to kill him and get away with it. if only that lamp could magically fall over juuust right.... He pulls his lip ring between his teeth as he trys to supress a smile and ignore me.

"I dont find any of this funny at all Kayden." I announce to him over his loud game.
"And I dont see why youre so uptight about the essay. Its not due for another week." He replies dismisively shrugging his shoulders without taking his eyes off the T.V.
I roll my eyes at him and focus back onto my essay. "Maybe not but some of us rather get it over with and be stress free instead of procrastinating all the way to last minute and throwing it together and praying you pass." i tell him without looking up. A few minutes pass and I no longer hear loud gunshots or shouting and hear him turn towards me. Out of my peripheral i see him pick up his laptop and notebook, i cautiously set mine aside.
"Whatcha doin there bud.." i asked him. He looks up at me in defeat and sighs, giving me a look that says im right and he knows it. "Say it." i push as a smile creeps its way onto my lips. Covering his face with both hands he groans, saying something i didnt quite understand.
"Louder." I giggle.
He slowly moves his hands, sending his best death glare my way before repeating himself. "I said youre right." The instant look of discust on his face after he said those words had me doubled over laughing.
"Oh you think thats funny huh?" He asks sitting up with a mischievious grin plastered on his face and a determined glint in his hazel eyes. My face fell as i searched the room for a quick get away. i knew that look, that look isnt safe.
"uh-um.. n no, not at all." i laugh nervously as i continue scanning the room with my eyes with no success. He launches his small yet built frame across the room in a failed attempt to grab me at the same time that i dash for the kitchen. i slide in my socks as i round the island trying to get a grip on the wooden floors. With no luck, i grab the counter for balance just as Kayden rounds the corner losing all traction and falling flat on his ass giving me time to dash past him. He was quick to grab my ankle and i crashed to the floor. Before i could process what was happening he had me pinned down working his fingers against my ribs, the apartment filled with my laughter and protests. After ten minutes of me begging him to quit he made me promise id make him a good home made meal after we had finished our finals.

An hour later and Kayden was proofreading my essay while I was in the kitchen. A knock on the door interrupted our Twin bonding. "Kayden can you get that please!" i call from the kitchen. i hear him grunt in protest but procceeded to do what i asked. i hear the door open and two hushed male voices and footsteps making their way to the kitchen.
"Kayd? Who is it?" i ask not taking my eyes off the food i was prepairing. Someone stepped up behind me, close enough i could feel the fabric of his shirt against my back. Two big manly hands covered my eyes and his intoxicating cologne filled my senses. A smile consumes my lips as i recognized it to be my boyfriend of 2 years.
"Well hello to you too Declan." i giggle. He lets out an amused chuckle and kisses my cheek, letting me see again, he puts his hands on my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder. "Mmmm," he hums "Whats for supper darlin?" he questions.
"Its a surprise." i reply with a shrug. "Surprise hm?" He glances at me with a smirk. i nod my head in conformation. He turns to make his way to the living room to chat with my brother when he turns to me and says "Love the shirt by the way. looks nice on you."
I look down and blush, i was wearing his brown and white plaid button up. I honestly hadnt noticed it was his. It was on the corner of my bed this morning so i put it on without giving it a thought. He chuckles deeply after seeing my reaction and continues to the livingroom, i watch him in awe for a few minutes as he played COD with my brother. The loud timer on the stove brought me out of my daze as it alerted me to check it. I quickly pulled the pan out of oven, completely forgeting hand protection i yelp in pain, dropping the pan onto the counter safely i run to the sink and stick my hand under the cool water.

Five minutes of setting the table and one burnt hand later, the three of us are seated at the table stuffing our faces with my famous home made lasagna. It felt nice to sit at the table talking about our day and joking around. The laughter fell into silence as we ate. I look over at Declan and ask the question i knew everyone dreaded talking about. "So... um... When do you have to leave again..?"
His fork clattered loudly onto his plate and he slumped in his seat, keeping his now sad eyes trained on his empty plate he answers quietly, "I have four days with you." with that being said he stood up hastily making his chair scrape the floor. Having lost my appitite i too stood up to clear the table. With a gentle hand and unspoken words he made me sit back down as he took the dishes to the sink. Great... I ruined the rest of the night... I thought to myself. While Kayden had made his way back to his game and Declan was cleaning up i silently slumped back to my room and fell onto my bed in defeat.
i had almost excaped into dreamland when i felt the bed sink in and Declans body now filled the empty space. His strong arms wrap around me and pulls me close. I sigh in contentment when he nussles his face in my neck. "I know what you're thinking." He whispers "And what might that be?" i whisper back still lost in his words at the dinner table. He stays quiet for a moment as he places kisses on my neck and jaw. "You didnt ruin the night baby." my shoulders slump and i mumble "Are you sure? Cause im pretty sure i did." His light chuckle vibrates my back and he makes me face him, His forest green eyes bore into my dull brown ones. With a half smile and a kiss to my forehead he sighs, "If you did i would have left." i stare at him as i take in this new information. Deciding im to tired to protest, i kiss him goodnight and close my eyes. Being able to drift into sleep with him once more made my night and i wasnt about to waste it. Little did i know that would be the last night i seen him...
