A KISS UNDER THE MOON | FELTSON

Comfort and Moments/15

Emma couldn't help but raise her eyebrow, but she was so glad it was dark so that he couldn't see her blaring cheeks. He rolled his eyes at her cocky reaction, "Just come here." Emma moved on her knees and hands and settled down next to him. She looked in his blue eyes and finally managed to stutter it out. "What happened? Its all b-blank, Tom. Its scaring m-me."

Tom wasn't reluctant to take her shoulders and place her on his chest as he heard her muffled and stifled sobs. "You had a panic attack, Love."

Emma sniffled more as she nuzzled her cheek more into Tom's chest. "Y-You were on a call with someone, and suddenly your hands started shaking and your breaths were shortened, you were gasping for breath. And um...next thing you fell to the ground and c-crying..."

Emma stopped him, "Wait, don't. I don't-t-don't...". "No I get it."

There was a really dreadful silence between, one that seemed expected at the time. Tom was circling his fingers on Emma's back unconsciously, while Emma wrapped her hands on Tom's torso. They were in peace. Their minds were finally at peace, no thoughts running wild. 
"So did I just....pass out?"

"Umm..." Tom really didn't want her to know. Telling her that he calmed her down will reveal everything. And Tom can't have that, nobody really knew. Not even Bonnie, or Mathew.
"What? Wait a second....you calmed me down didn't you?"

Tom sighed. "Yes."

His short answer made Emma suspicious. His chest stiffed at Emma's question, almost as if he was nervous. Emma got up from the cuddle, and looked at him, not wanting to notice the close proximity. "H-How did you-"

"You don't want to know." Tom cut her off. Emma took his cheeks in her palms. "Please."
Tom shakily sighed. "Umm..when you left, I started to get dreams. Dreams about our childhood our memories and how we used to play," He chuckled. "But then when I started to date people, w-we kind of grew apart and I, somehow didn't realize it. T-The video about you crying and going away, was repeating again and again in my mind and I couldn't bear it. I also heard Bonnie's words," 

"She's gone because of you! She's gone because you couldn't hold it in your pants!!!"

Emma had tears in her eyes. She didn't know this much damage had been done to his heart. Emma had seen the loneliness in his eyes but had chose to ignore it, but not now. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder, and sighed. Tom continued, "I-I started to get panic attacks after the first two months of all the hate I received. It happened the first time in the public, after some skater guy threw a can of apple juice at me, saying that-t I didn't deserve to-t-to live.." He whispered the last part. Emma silently gasped, she didn't want this to happen, she didn't want him to suffer this much. It was too much to handle and she knew nobody was this strong. "The panic attacks became a regular thing after a while, and when Bonnie got to know, she um appointed me a therapist. Her name was Skylar Christina Brown, and well, she kind of helped me through everything. She knew and made me learn the steps to calm my panic attacks down. But she never ever assigned me any medicines, like other doctors. I guess that was kind of her specialty? I don't know. But she helped me figure out everything, and well..um we um...she fell in love with me." Emma jolted up from him and looked at him with wide eyes. Emma didn't know if to be happy or.....jealous.

Emma's eyes widened even more.

"W-What?"

"You fell in love with her?"

"Noo, she fell in love with me." He gestured. He looked at Emma, and then groaned as he threw his head back. "How does everyone fall in love with me? I mean what is even there to like in me, that you fall in love with me? I am a guy who's not even handsome, and I dress like a homeless guy  and I'm not talented or-r rich or anything--" Emma cut him off quickly. "Shut up, Shut up shut up shut up." She rambled. "You are stupid as fuck!" Tom was stunned. She was not the one to swear at all, he didn't pay attention to what she said because, frankly, he knew he was stupid, and quoted, as fuck. "I'm sorry about that, BUT-" she continued along, "But me, and I assume Skylar, never liked you for your looks o-or the fact that your popular, I didn't care whether you're experienced in acting or you're talented," Tom raised his eyebrows at that last part, "WHICH by the way, you are. But we s-saw what was here," she pointed at his heart. "Do you now how and why we fell in love with you? Because you have the most nice, loving and caring heart ever. And by the way, just so you know, y-you a-are very handsome and good looking." She said, chuckling, not actually thinking about what she is saying. But when she did, her neck was flush her ears red crimson, and her hazel eyes wide. She whipped her head towards Tom to see him blushing too. He looked at as she stammered, "I-I I m-mean, I-I-I d-didn't-t,"
But Tom wasn't paying attention to her words, but to her lips. Suddenly Emma slipped from her position to right infront of his face. 

She looked at his crystal eyes, as they flicked from her lips to her eyes. She was frozen in her place, not able to look away from his face. Their faces were inches from each other, his breath fanning her face. Emma's eyes flicked to his lips, his peach rough lips that longed her soft ones. She let out a breath and her mind was blank. But some voice in there was screaming to close the distance, to finally have her lips on his. Tom was leaning and so was she, the air was thick, time slow, everything seemed to stop, like the world was begging them to do it. 
Tom's hand slid from her waist, to slowly up to her neck, her hands on his chest, going up on his shoulders. Both of them were in a trance. Emma moved towards him, and lifted herself to sit on him as Tom dipped in the bed more. 

But suddenly there was a flash and loud noise came from a screen not far away.

Tom had accidentally put hand on the remote while adjusting when Emma came over him. 

And now they were on the ground near the bed, Emma falling on Tom's chest as he was under her.  

"If you want to kill harry, you have to kill us too!!"

Both of them shot up at the voice. Tom held Emma, as Emma held onto his torso for support as they looked wide-eyed at the TV screen. "Ummm..we should uh---"
"Yeah we should--" Tom and Emma both got up pretty quickly, and looked at each other. It was quiet, except for Remus Lupin and Sirius Black's voices. They looked at each other and Tom came forward and put his hands on Emma's shoulder and sat her down. "I'll um-get your-your um meds okay?" He said and kissed her forehead. But Emma took his hand and pulled him down. Tom stunned, came forward and landed on her lips. Their lips brushed of each other, and for a momentary second, sparks flew. They stayed there for a while, after hesitantly pulling back. They looked at each other in silence.

"Ah, vengeance is sweet. I was hoping to be the one to catch you."

Tom and Emma's hearts were beating out too loud, and they both didn't realize they were smiling. "I'm gonna umm," Tom chuckled as he scratched his neck, "go get your meds and maybe order popcorn? Looks like we've got a marathon infront of us." Emma nodded as she fiddled with her fingers. "Yeah okay."

"I'll be back, Love."

Emma smiled as Tom went off. "Stop smiling!!" She groaned.

But they both couldn't stop smiling.

"You're wrong! Harry's heart did beat for all of us!! Its not over!"

Emma was cuddled up to Tom as he saw the scene, the Battle Of Hogwarts. Tom was smiling at it, though it was somewhat a shocking and sad scene, he was rewinding all the memories. He chuckled and started to speak to Emma, "Do you remember the time when Matt--" But when he turned to look at Emma, she was sound asleep. Her eyes were closed as she snuggled more into Tom's chest. Tom smiled unknowingly as he looked at her, he carefully bent over, not to wake her up, and pulled up the blanket. He put it on her and kissed her head again. 

He took the remote from the table on the side, and turned the TV off. Tom reached for the lamp and switched off the button, and the room was dark again. 

"Good night, Char."

And maybe have sweet dreams about Tom too?
