Roommates

SWEET TALK

"What are you looking at?", Samuel asked shyly.

"You", Ace replied.

"Aren't you tired?", Samuel acted annoyed.

Ace slept besides Samuel looking at his face. He was so happy tonight, that he refused to blink his eyes. He was so close to Samuel, he wanted to stay awake for whole night just looking at the face he loved dearly and missed so much.

"Can you stop staring Ace, I can't sleep." 

Sam forced Ace to close his eyes by blocking it with his hand. But Ace refused to budge.

All the tiredness of the travelling and thr sadness of past few months was nothing as compared the time he gets to spend with his Samuel.

Tonight his sleep was long gone. His heart was beating hard with excitement but he was a little sad too..

"I missed you Sam. Can you give me back the time I spent apart from you? If no, then let me just look at your face, hug you to sleep. Is it too much to ask for??"

Ace moved his fingers on Samuel's face and touched his pouty lips. He slowly shifted, kissed Samuel's forehead and hugged him tightly.

"Happy New Year Sam. This is the best start of my new year, so thank you."

Samuel was happy but shy too and so he hid his blushing face in his chest to hide his blushing face.

"Sorry Ace, you had to see Kay and me.. I mean trust me he is just a friends. They all are just friends to me. Please believe me.", he tried to clarify.

Samuel did not know how to explain Ace about the matter related to his friends. Anyone who looks at them might get a wrong impression, but that was not what Samuel was worried about. 

He knew Ace came home after a long time and looking at how his friends were flirting with him, Ace must've been so hurt.

However, Ace remained silent.

 After sometime, he looked at Ace and inquired, "Where have you been Ace? Why did you never call back. Were you that angry on me?"

Sam knew Ace must be really angry on him, because of the way Sam hurt him on the day he had left. 

While Ace was good to him and had even baked a cake for him. Sam was very regretful for the way things happened.

"I was upset because I wanted you to come with me on this tour, because I knew I will be gone for a long time. And so when you did not agree to come with me, I did not dare to talk to you.", Ace frowned, then continued..

 "I knew.. I knew it Sam. Even if once I get to hear your voice, I would've left everything and rushed to your side." He paused.

"Anyways, I went to visit grandma and promised her to visit again, with you. 

I want you to meet her once, she'll be really happy Sam. Please Sam.. Please come with me to meet her", Ace whined.

Samuel couldn't deny. After looking at this cute face, he had been missing so much. 

He mentally promised himself to do whatever possible and make it up to Ace. 

It was wrong for him to hurt Ace every time, when Ace had always been sweet and caring towards him. 

Ace always expressed his feelings openly and Samuel only kept denying.

Samuel looked at Ace, " We'll visit your grandma one day, Ace. I would love to..meet her. I can't promise when, but soon. For now, I think you should sleep. You must be really tired."

Ace smiled and then kissed Samuel's lips, "Ok Sam. As you say. Good Night"

"Sweet Dreams Ace" 

They both gradually drifted off to sleep hugging each other.

In the middle of the night Samuel woke up to Ace's mumbling sound and noticed that Ace was frowning..

"Can you.. Don't Sam.. Please.."

Samuel moved closer to him and tried to hear what he was saying.. but it was hardly audible.

He could hear Ace repeatedly calling his name, so he kissed this fool's forehead and replied

"Ace I am right here.. Do you hear me?"

To which Ace softly cried in his sleep and mumbled again, "Be mine. Don't share anyone."

Samuel smiled looking at him and whispered, "Fool. You don't have to share me with anyone. I promise you."
