Out Of Control

Clay POV

'Whose that?' I asked him, pointing at his stuffed animal.

'My friend.' He put it away and stood up to him me. 'You are my friend.' He hugged me tight.

'When he likes someone, he is very cuddly.'

'I noticed,' I said giggling.

George stopped hugging me looked at me with tears in his eyes. 'Sorry.'

'Hey, sweetie. That's okay,' his mum said.

I hugged him again. 'I like it, Georgie.'

He smiled and rested his head on my chest.

'He is very smart, but just a little bit younger. Emotionally he is like 11.'

'Isn't it very difficult for him to function in a normal school?'

'It is, but he is very smart and he really wants to go here.'

I rubbed George through his hair and I heard his calm breathing. It calmed me down too.

'It's impressive when you are way younger in your head, but you function like a 17 year old human being.'

'He is average age is around 12 to 15, so it's pretty impressive.'

'He is mostly just drawing a little.'

'He draws when he is scared or nervous.'

'Aww, were you a little scared in class, Georgie?'

I felt him nodding.

'He communicates very poorly, so I'm very surprised he brought you.'

'He communicates with me. I found out he likes ice skating a lot.'

He directly looked up. 'Can we watch a video again?'

'Of course.'

His mum smiled. 'Do you want a drink, Clay?'

'No thanks, I'm good.'

'Come, Clay,' George said. He grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs. He opened the door to his room and I looked around. There were posters on the wall of famous ice skaters and his bed was filled with stuffed animals. He tapped his bed and made me sit down. When I sat down, he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me down with him. We laid down next to each other and George hugged me tight.

'Can we watch videos?'

I nodded and grabbed my phone to look up some videos. We watch for hours long, cuddling the whole time. My heart was beating so fast, I loved having him in my arms. He was small and cute, who wouldn't love having him in their arms.

'I like you, Clay. You are really sweet.'

'Aww, Georgie. You're sweet.'

His head rested on my chest and he laid down on his side. He closed his eyes.

'Tired.'

'Do you want to sleep for a little?'

'School is tiring.'

'Sleep.'

His arms wrapped around my neck and pulled his knees up. One leg entangled with my leg and I pulled him even closer. He was almost laying on top of me now, but I didn't care. George directly started dozing off and I decided to check my Snaps from Sapnap, my American friend.

I sent a photo back with my face but didn't noticed George was on the photo too.

I put my phone away and looked at George again. Why did he have the privilege to be this cute and adorable? I just wanted to kiss his red cheeks. It took me a minute to realise what I was thinking and shook away the thought. I didn't want to kiss him at all, I just liked him as a friend. I ignored all my thoughts but I still kept looking at George. All stuffed animals on his bed, how he was sleeping in my arms with a pink blush on his face, it was too adorable. I loved it, he was amazing.
