Closet rats

13 Eliot

I woke up his morning to a knock on my door. I lay half awake and realized I was hugged up against Ben. I cant believe what we did last night, but it felt so good being able to wake up to another warm body right next to me. There was another knock and the door opened slowly. I sat up a bit and saw my brothers gobsmacked face peering back at me. He mouthed:
“Did you wrap it” And I grabbed my shoe off the floor near the bed and threw it at him. Kaleb closed the door before the shoe hit him, and it hit the door with a loud thump. That woke Ben up.

He turned over to look at me. He had a huge smile on his face.
“Morning” He said and leaned over and gave me a kiss
“Morning, did you sleep well?”
“After that, yeah I did. It felt nice to have someone to cuddle up with.”
“Oh I know that feeling... So... We need to pretend this never happened at school. I hope you don’t mind its just...” but Ben cut me off
“I get it, its okay. Ill keep you're secrete as long as you promise, that we can do this again some day?”
“Oh, is that black mail?”
“It might be” He said as he leaned over top of me. “What are you going to do about it?”
“Ooh, spoilers!” And I sat up with his legs around my back, gave him a long kiss before pushing him back onto his side of the bed.
“C’mon lets get some breakfast”

I put on a pair of cargo shorts, before exiting the room, with Ben, hand in hand following behind me.
“Hey guys!! Did you have a good night?” Kaleb asked with a winky face
“Oh shut up!”
“Haha, im heading out again I just had to pick up some stuff. So you will have to place to yourself again” Oh great. He is going to be giving me shit for the rest of my life.
I cooked us up, scrambled eggs, bacon, spaghetti on toast, and breakfast sausages. We sat at the breakfast bar and ate in silence. 

"So i suppose you will be going home soon?" I broke the silence.
"Well, i guess i have to, but i want to do this again. Please. If thats okay with you. I really enjoyed it."
"I hope we can..." I turned on my laptop and opened Facebook. I had a few notifications and a friend request from Ben. "Egg. Weren't we friends before?"
"Nope haha"
"Oh okay" I accepted the request and began scrolling through my news feed. A big picture of Ellie Goulding with a caption saying 'Have you got your tickets yet?'
"Oh my god!!!"
"What what what?!?!"
"I think Ellie Goulding is coming here!!" I went to the ticket website and searched her name. Up came one event in the city nearest our town. I read the information. It said she was coming here next month.
"Oh my god!! How did i not know this when tickets went on sale! I would have missed them by now god damn it."
"When did tickets go on sale?"
"3 months ago! Im not going to be able to find any tickets now." I was gutted. My favorite singer is coming to a city two hours away from where i live, and i miss it because nothing told me she was coming!
"How did i miss this!"
"Hey its okay Eliot, i missed it too."
"You like Ellie?"
"Like?! Thats a bit of an understatement."
"Oh thats so cool! I suppose ill just have to miss out this time. Thats okay i guess"
"Itll be okay. Anyway i better go now." Ben went and got all his things together and i followed him to the door. He turned around smiled at me and landed a small peck on the edge of my lips.
"Thanks again. I really had a lot of fun"
"Anytime Ben"
