Heart Of Gold(BxB)[REPUBLISHED&COMPLETED]

Chapter 3: These Are For You!

Tommy was shovelling cereal into his mouth this morning. Once finished her darted outside, wiping the milk residue from his mouth. He looked around, the smile fading from his face when he saw another guard standing in Zeke's place. Tommy huffed and ran inside, over to his father. Looking up at him, his arms crossed. Christian turned and glanced at his son. “Whats up, bud?” “Where’s Zeke!” Christian chuckled. “Sorry, i forgot to tell you that he's off today.” “Really?!” Tommy huffed. “Can i take a walk?” “Sure, make sure your phone is on.” Christian directed. “Always is.” Tommy replied, turning and walking outside. He started his normal route, walking down the sidewalk to the forest, and then going into the forest. Tommy walked down the sidewalk, humming softly, lost in his own cloud of thought. TOmmy turned and walked into the forest, walking around. He spotted a giant patch of flowers, as he walked over, sitting down peacefully, sniffing the flowers. His eyes fluttered at the lovely Gardenias scent. It had a tropical scent, mixed with romantic feels. Tommys eyes fluttered again as he sniffed once more. He loved these flowers. He gasped softly, as he got an idea. He picked some flowers, holding them in his hands. He grabbed two more, before sprinting home and running up to his mom, giving her the two white gardenia flowers, as she gasped softly, smiling. “Thank you sweetie.” Victoria grabbed the two flowers, inhaling, as he smiled softly. Tommy waved goodbye, before sprinting out of the small castle, his chest heaving, as he spotted to catch his breath, three lovely white gardenia flowers in his hands. Tommy turned, before walking down to Zeke's house, the blush slowly building up on his cheeks as he walked down the sidewalk. Tommy knocked on the door, before waiting. After a few seconds the door opened, to Zeke, wearing a gray tank top, and some black sweatpants. He looked like he was in the middle of a workout, or something. Before Zeke could say anything, red faces, Tommy held out the flowers. “These are for you!” Tommy exclaimed, as Zeke blinked, his face flushing. “I-i.. Did you pick these for me..?” Tommy nodded, looking down, and holding out the flowers. He felt Zeke carefully pick up the flowers. Tommy looked up, just as Zeke smiled, with a soft, "Thank you." Tommy felt his face burn. Tommy chuckled nervously, "Yeah, of course!" Zeke smiled. "I'll go put these inside.. do you want to hangout today?" Zeke asked softly, as Tommy nodded happily. "We should hangout at my place~!" "I can dress casually though.. right?" Tommy chuckled, "Of course silly! It's your day off~! I'll wait out here!" Tommy grinned happily, as Zeke nodded, closing the door gently, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a small vase, filling it with water and setting the flowers inside. He set the case onto the counter, before darting into his room and grabbing a slip on a red hoodie, sliding it on, as he turned and yanked on his shoes, before grabbing his phone and keys, opening the door and walking out, shutting and locking the door behind himself. "Alright, lets go." Tommy smiled, before turning and beginning to walk. The two boys walked back to Tommy's home, walking inside, and into Tommts room. Tommy collapsed onto his bed, as Zeke chuckled softly. "What are you laughing at? Get over here!" Zeke laughed, moving over and sitting down next to Tommy, who turned onto his back. Zeke looked around. Tommy's walls were a soft turquoise with white flowers painted on as well. "Did you paint your walls?" "Yeah, I painted the gardenias on there. They really are a lovely flower.." Tommy sighed happily. Zeke glanced at the taped photos on the wall, and piled up boxes in the corners of his room. "What's in the boxes?" "Paint," Tommy replied, not missing a heartbeat. "Ohh, of course." Tommy smiled. Zeke glanced at the hung canvases. "You hang your paintings, too?" Tommy nodded. Zeke stood up, walking over to Tommy's taped up pictures, thinking he saw something. He glanced through the photos, not noticing Tommy creep up behind him. His finger stopped at a photo of him and Tommy, standing at the gate, paint on their faces. "You printed it out?" "Yeah." Tommy set his hand on Zeke's shoulder, making him flinch, glancing and letting it a breath he didn't know he was holding. "You scared me." Tommy nodded, "Thought so~!" Tommy cheered. 

The two boys were chilling on Tommy’s bed playing on their phones, when Tommy suddenly got an idea. He paused his game, poking Zeke's arm as he glanced over. "I wanna take you somewhere!" Zeke blinked. "What? Where now?" "Its here. It's not far, I promise." Zeke huffed and stood up, as Tommy grabbed his wrist and walked out of his room. Zeke's hand twitched slightly, as he blushed softly, "W-what're you doing?" "You said that you'd 'always get lost' if you lived here, so i'm making sure you don't get lost~!" Tommy cheered, walking past his father who raised his brow, watching the two boys. 

Two minutes later, Tommy was standing in the middle of a four way hallway, thinking. Zeke sighed. "You forgot the way, didn't you-" "N-no!" Tommy blushed a soft pink, "The audacity!" Tommy huffed dramatically. Tommy grabbed his phone with his free hand, typing something in before a soft voice said, "turn left". Tommy fumbled with the keys as Zeke broke out laughing. "Are you using Google maps?!" Zeke laughed again, as Tommy huffed. "You told me you don't get lost!" "I dont! I just- awh nevermind! Let's just go!" Tommy huffed, dragging Zeke along. Tommy stopped outside a door, letting go of Zeke's hand, as he opened the door, holding it open for Zeke, who thanked him and walked inside, being met with a room full of books. "A… library?" Zeke mumbled. Tommy walked inside and shut the door, grabbing Zeke's wrist and walking excitedly to a corner. "Meet me back here in 15 minutes when you have a book. Okay?" Zeke nodded, as the two waved, before parting, to find their books. Tommy grabbed a few fictional books about adventures and comedy. Zeke grabbed a few books about ghost mysteries claimed to be true. The two met back as promised, in 15 minutes. Tommy and Zeke sat down next to each other against the wall, on a pile of blankets and pillows previously placed there by Tommy. The two began reading, enjoying the stories. Tommy rested his head on Zeke's shoulder, as Zeke glanced at the gray haired boy, smiling, before looking back at his book. Tommy giggled softly, as Zeke glanced over. Tommy read out a sentence to Zeke, who snickered. They went back to reading, pointing out little funny or interesting things in their books. 

Tommy felt his eyes flutter after hours of reading. He yawned softly, before closing his eyes and falling asleep, his head resting on Zeke's shoulder. Zeke glanced over at Tommy, seeing him asleep. He smiled and blushed softly. Zeke resumed reading. After about an hour, Zeke decided that he should probably bring Tommy to his room and then go home himself. He grabbed their books and set them aside, before moving Tommys head and resting it on a pillow, before standing up and stretching. He carefully picked up Tommy and held him against his chest, Tommy's legs immediately wrapping around his waist, arms around Zeke's neck. Zeke smiled, rubbing Tommys back with his hands. He walked out of the library, using his memory to migrate back to Tommy's room. He eventually stopped, as he forgot which way to go next. He flinched when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned, seeing Quinton. "Hey.." "Hey, Zeke. Is that Tommy?" "Yeah, I was just about to take him to his room, he fell asleep in the library, when we were reading." "I thought you had off today." "I did, I just hung out with Tommy today. Pretty much all day, actually. Anyways, can you help me get to his room? I forgot the way." "Oh! Of course. Just go straight and turn left, then in the first hallway you're met with its the second room." "Ohh, okay. Thanks..!" Quinton smiled and waved goodbye, before walking off. Zeke repeated the instructions in his head, whilst following them. He carefully opened Tommys room door while holding him with his other arm. He walked inside, shutting the door and not even bothering to turn on the light(his eyes are already adjusted to the dark(it's dark in the castle since it's late)), before walking over to Tommy's bed and moving the blankets, and laying him down, covering him with the blankets. Zeke turned and walked over to the door, before freezing when he heard a soft, "Ze-ke..?" Zeke looked over, spotting a half asleep Tommy. "Yeah?" Zeke replied, slowly moving back over to Tommy, standing by the bed and looking down at him. "Where are you going..?" Tommy yawned softly, rubbing his eyes. "I was planning on going home, it's like 12am, Tommy." Tommy whined softly. Zeke raised a brow at the boy. "C-can't you s-stay with me..?" Tommy whined softly, as Zeke sighed sympathetically. "You really want me to stay?" Tommy nodded quickly, scooting back to make room for Zeke. "Please…?" Tommy asked in a soft tired voice. "Only if you promise to go to sleep, okay? It's late." Tommy nodded in agreement, before Zeke laid down by Tommy. Tommy threw some of the blanket over Zeke. Tommy yawned, as his eyes fluttered. He turned and wrapped his arms around Zeke, resting his head on Zeke's chest, as he fell asleep. Zeke blushed, before carefully setting his arms around Tommys waist, as his eyes fluttered, and he fell asleep. 

Zeke's eyes fluttered open and were immediately blinded by the sunlight blaring in his eyes, making the dilate, as he covered his eyes with one of his arms. He froze as he felt Tommy shift. He had forgotten that he stayed the night here. He looked over at Tommy, who was still fast asleep. He let out a soft sigh of relief. He gently rubbed Tommys back with his other hand which was still wrapped around Tommy. Zeke yawned softly, he was still tired after all. He had just woken up but he already felt like passing out and taking a long, hard nap. Zeke carefully turned onto his side, facing Tommy, as he stirred, groaning softly as his eyes fluttered open. “Zeke..? A-are you leaving already?” “No, no, i'm not leaving.” Tommy yawned softly, burying his face into Zeke's chest, arms wrapped around his waist, “Good.” he mumbled, holding onto Zeke, tight. He wanted to go back to sleep and never wake up. He just wanted Zeke to stay with him. Forever and ever, locked in an external sleep that they couldn't wake up from. Tommy yawned, as he fell back asleep. Zeke yawned softly, as his eyes fluttered shut.
