Chapter Twenty - Five

- [F/N]'s POV -
I felt relief flood through me when Gavin promised me that he wouldn't do anything. Of course, there was still that small doubt in the back of my mind but I wasn't going to voice anything. I move back from the bath a little bit, humming and trying to shove the thoughts of them pictures out of my brain. They were horrifying for me so I can only imagine how it was for Gavin. The man looked so lost. He was looking at the wall, just seeming lost in thoughts that I can only assume weren't that pretty. 

"Gav... Why don't we put on a movie and cuddle, yeah?" I suggest, looking at him. He turns his gaze to me, giving a little nod and the slightest of smiles. I decided to give him a little time alone, leaving the bathroom and going to make us both a hot drink. I open the cupboard and take out the coffee before noting a tub of hot chocolate. Grinning a little, I take it out and decide that this was either going to make Gavin smile a little or give up all hope on me completely. I place the cups on the table in the living room before I put on something in certain will make Gavin laugh.

Gavin soon steps into the room, glancing at me as he sinks into the couch, curling up and nuzzling into his hoodie. I sit beside him, grabbing a cup and handing it to him, a small smile on my lips as he takes it. He furrows his eyebrows a little

"Is this got chocolate..?" He asks, turning his gaze to me as he sips it, smiling to himself and letting out a soft sigh. "I mean... I just think that you should take a break from coffee, you know? It can get boring. And I found this, and I really wanted it." I simply state, picking up my own cup. I switch on the TV, getting comfy on the couch. But soon, I feel a lil someone snuggle up to my side. I lift my arm, letting Gavin nuzzle up against me, wrapping an arm around me and relaxing. I can't help but smile to myself, nuzzling my face into his hair and melting against him. It was moments like this that made me so thankful that Gavin came to stay with me, I missed being able to cuddle someone like this... And Gavin, although he was a grumpy bitch sometimes, I loved these moments. I didn't know whether Gavin felt the same but he seemed quite comfortable snuggled up beside me and sipping his hot chocolate.

I place my cup down, moving my hand to the man's hair, running my fingers through it. Gavin's eyes flutter closed for a second before he looks up at me.

"I'm sorry you had to see those pictures..." He mumbles softly, his eyebrows furrowing as guilt takes over his features. "Oh, Gav, it's not your fault, please don't apologise..." I say, gently moving some hair out of his eyes. "I... Didn't mean to hurt myself, I swear, it was an accident-" he quickly adds, but I gently cover his mouth, shaking my head. "Please, shush, you have nothing to be sorry about, Gavin, I promise. Just... I'm so sorry you had to find them." I mutter, hugging Gavin a little tighter. My heart really went out to this man, he'd been so damn much that I just want to hug him and never let anyone hurt him again. I just want him safe. Gavin nuzzled against me more, wrapping an arm around me and gripping my shirt once h put his cup down. I feel him shake a little and I knew he needs to cry and I was the last person who was going to stop him.

Gavin starts sobbing against me, trying so hard to keep himself together. I rub his back, "Hey, don't you dare hold back, I'm not judging you, Gavin." I mumble softly, placing a couple of kisses to the top of his head. Gavin's body starts shaking more, gripping me as hard as he can, hiding his face in my chest. My shirt starts to feel a little wet where Gavin was pressing his face but I didn't care, I just wanted him to let it all out, he needed to.

- Gavin's POV -

After a few moments, I finally managed to get control of myself, hugging [F/N] for dear life. I close my eyes, slowly catching me breath and ignoring the slight headache that I've given myself. 

"I'm so-" "Don't even finish that sentence." [F/N] cuts me off before I even get the chance to apologise, making me look at him. "Gavin, you never have to apologise for showing emotion. Fuck what people say, cry your dame heart out if you need to, laugh, smile, be anxious! Show what you feel, keeping it in is so unhealthy." He says, looking at me and the smiling softly, gently running his fingers over my cheek.

That familiar flop takes over my stomach when he does that, making me close my eyes. I lightly lean into his touch, not able to stop myself. I had to jump a little though, feeling [F/N]'s lips press against my cheeky, right next to my lips a couple of times. I slightly turn my head, feelings them soon press against my own before my brain tells me what's going on. He soon pulls back, letting out a small, satisfied sigh. I open my eyes, finding him smiling when I look at him, letting my eyes scan over his features.

"I thought you said you didn't want that to happen again..." He says, locking eyes with me. "I... I'll admit the thingy frightens me, but if it scares you, it's probably with trying, no?" I reply, watching as his smile grows a little. [F/N] cups my cheek, rubbing it with his thumb before he says a sentence that nearly freaking killed me on the spot.

"Gavin, you don't have to say it back but I'm seriously beginning to fall in love with you... I know it's only been a couple of months but I just... I can't help it, I've never met anyone like you. I... Heh, look at me getting all sappy..." He snorts, looking away. I feel my heart do a leap in my chest, making me sit back and place a hand on my chest. [F/N] quickly sits up, panicked. "Calm down, it's just... I don't know, I think I feel the same..." "Thanks..." [F/N] jokes but I could see the delight in his eyes. "Can I kiss you again?" He asks, turning his gaze back to me. For the first time, I lean in and kiss him gently,  cupping his cheeks. He instantly melts, moving a hand to my hair and making it a little more intense.

Before things even got heated, [F/N] pulled back and have me a bright smile, sitting back and patting his chest again. I snuggle against him, hugging him gently and closing my eyes thought the man's sentence surprised me beyond belief.

"I'm going to the station tomorrow and I'm giving Fowler them pictures, he's going to pay for it, Gavin, for not believing you."
