Odd Ones Out (MINICAT)

♡Chapter thirty-six♡

Craig's pov

*two weeks later*

I carefully move away from the last candle before resting my hands on my hips and glancing around the apartment.

Ever since the night we graduated Tyler has been nothing but a prince to me, if you even want to put it like that and I wanted to return the favor. So me being me I decided to make our apartment look all romantic and lit a butch of candles which caused me to burn myself multiple times but Tyler doesn't need to know that. Since Tyler works night shifts it makes it better because then we can watch the sunrise together, I think it's super romantic.

Just then I hear the front door being unlocked alerting me that Tyler is back. I suddenly went into panic mood as I ran around making sure everything was in it's place before the door opened to reveal Tyler looking very distressed and tired.

His eyes scan around the room.before landing on me as he kicks the door closed. He then seems to notice all the candles lit literally everywhere and widens his eyes a bit.

"What's all this?" He asks curiously. I giggle as I approach him and run my hands up his chest and around his  neck. "I thought I'd repay you for all you've done for me." I smirk while playing with his hair a bit. He chuckles before Leaning down and claiming my lips. I return the kiss as he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me against him automatically causing me to moan. He smirks against my lips while walking forward causing me to walk backwards until hitting a wall.

"You're such a sweetheart." Tyler says under his breath as we rest our heads together. I giggle breathlessly before pulling him in for another kiss. "Only for you baby." I grin while pulling away from him and walking over to the couch. I turn to Tyler and raise my eyebrow, as if asking him to come over to which he does.

He sits right by my feet before slowly leaning towards me. I open my legs just in time so that he fell onto my chest but not hard enough to hurt me. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and pull him up a bit so his head was just under my chin while he wraps his around my waist.

"I'm gonna miss this." He says out of nowhere making me glance down at him. "Don't talk about that, let's focus on now instead of later." I respond while lightly smacking his shoulder making him snicker.

Silence fills the room after that. Neither of us saying anything as we enjoyed the others company. I really was gonna miss this though, being able to hold Tyler in my arms, kissing him, joking around with each other, waking up and being able to see his handsome face every morning. I'm gonna miss it all. It's not gonna be the same without Tyler over there, everything's gonna be so different then what I'm used too and I honestly don't know how to feel about it. What if something bad happens to Tyler while I'm in LA? I won't be able to help him in need, god just thinking about that scares me..

"Craig stop worrying." Tyler suddenly says pulling me out of my thoughts as I look down at him only to see he was looking straight back at me. "H-how did you..?" I question, tilting my head to the side. "You were squeezing my shoulders a bit and you're bottom lip started quivering." He answers making my eyes widen. "Nothing's gonna happen Craig, I can handle things on my own as can you." He adds while sitting up a bit but still laying on my chest. My arms loosen around him and my hands rest on his shoulders.

"Remember-" Tyler says while holding the hand with the ring on it up. "We made a promise to each other. So we ain't going no where." He finishes making me smile as I hug him. "I'm just gonna miss you so much." I mumble. "I know, but we'll get through it I promise you. Now you wanna go watch the sunrise?" He asks while pulling away from the hug. I smile and nod before we both get up and make our way to the balcony where we cuddled until the sun came up.
