sleep...

pt, 1

Tom's pov

I lay in bed, I had nightlight on as I layed on my side staring at it, my breath hitched as I shook softly. I soon glanced around the dark room and sat up hugging my knees before light soon filled the room as the door opened, I saw my mother and practically jumped off the bed to hug her. I whine as she hugs me ever so tightly. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I tried to speak but nothing came out, she sighed and patted my head. She whispered to me "let's go downstairs hun" I nodded and she holds my hand. I hold it back and sniffled. She walks down the stairs and I followed.

She sat me on the couch, turning on the lamp. I sat back as I slowly relaxed, my heart slowing down seems how it was just racing before.

She soon came back giving me a cup of hot chocolate, she sat baside me wrapping her arm around me. I sipped on the hot coco "t-thank you mom" I mumbled, she nodded "of course" she kisses my head.

We watched movies together and soon she fell asleep, I put a blanket around her and leaned on her. Trying to fall asleep but I of course can not.. no matter how hard I try.

In the morning I took a shower and got ready for school. Once I had a good enough outfit on I left the house, I held an umbrella over my head as it softly rained. I looked ahead seeing my highschool. I walk up to it and went inside, I closed my umbrella.

While walking to my locker I see Tord Larstin... I've had a crush on him since I was a 10th grader.

He's just so amazing, kind and not to mention attractive... I blush softly and smile as I walked to my locker, opening it. I put my things inside, keeping what I needed for my classes and my phone and headphones.

I close my locker and glance at the horned headed male, I hummr and blushed. I wanted to walk up and talk to him.. but what if he hates me- I'd prefer him not to know me then to hate me...

I walk off going to my first class, I go inside and sat down..

Classes went by slowly, each class feeling four hours long though in reality there at least an hour long.. my 5th class passed and lunch started. I walked to lunch and once I arrived I felt someone grab onto the hood of my hoodie,  I choked slightly and stopped walking. I look at them, it's Jordan.. he smirked at me and I take a step back "what do you want?" I mumbled, he chuckled "there's something I wanted to show you" he smiled, I shook my head "n-no, maybe later?" I mumbled, he huffed and grabbed me along with his friend who snuck behind me.

I began to panic as I tried to pull away, we arrive to the janitor closet. "No no please stop!" I panted as I knew it was dark in there, the lightbulb broke weeks ago and we didn't get to replace it yet. They pushed me inside and locked the door. I banged on the door, pleating for them to let me out. My heart raced, I felt sick as my breath hitched, I began sobbing..

I could hear them laugh before hearing rambling, I didn't care I just wanted out before the door soon owned, I fell because I was leaning on the door. Instead of falling to the floor I fell into someone's arms, they hugged me as I whined and tried to catch my breath.

The person pets me in a comforting manner, once I was more relaxed I looked up to see who it was.. it's Tord- I blush and looked away, he chuckled "hey it's okay, your safe now.. how about we go somewhere else" be says, I wondered why till I realised there was people looking at us, I slowly nodded. He walks with me to an empty classroom.

He walked with me to a chair and sat down, I slowly sat down too.

"So what was that about?" He asked me, I look away some. I felt his eyes on me. He gets up hugging me and rubbing my back "how often do those guys bug you?" He asks ".... O-often" I say, he nodded. He looks at me and wipped my tears, he smiled a me "they won't bug you anymore, okay?" I gave a small nod, he hummed "why were you freaking out so much?" He asked, I look away again, he sighed and waited for me to answer "... I- I have Nyctophobia..." I say, he looks at me a little confused, not knowing what that is "i-im scared of the dark..." I mumbled, I hated this about me, being scared of the dark is for three year olds not seventeen years olds...

I expected him to laugh but instead he just smiled softly and nodded, he hugs me again "ah okay" he hummed. I looked down. I felt him kiss my head, I was flushed.

I soon looked at him an he hummed "are you okay, your cheeks are red" he hummed, o blushed more "t-that happens when I cry-" I say, he nodded and hummed, patting my head "lunch is almost finished, are you hungry?" He asked, I shook my head. He chuckled and nodded "meet me after school at the front of the school, okay?" I looked at him and nodded.

He stood up and pulled me up with him, he lets go of me and walks out of the classroom. I followed.

Once out he said good bye and went to his class, I waved and headed to my own class, I looked down hugging myself softly.

Once at my class I sat down and waited for class to start...

Tords pov

I sat in class an thought of the small boy, he's in my grade I know that, I've seen him a few times, he's even in a few of my classes.

I don't know why but I fell the need to protect him.. he seems so fragile, like glass. He's small and needs protection... He's also cute, I mean really cute, I smiled softly at the thought of him. I wanted to hug him again, I sigh happily and looked out the window.

After two more classes the school day ended, I got up and went to get my stuff then I headed to the front of the school. I see him standing there, I walked to him and he looks at me.. I smiled "let's go" I smiled, he nodded softly and I walked with him.

"Where are we going..?" He asked "because you didn't eat I thought we go get dinner" I smiled, he looks at me some "o-oh, we don't have to- I'm not that hungry and I don't have money-" he says, I looked at him and smiled "no, you should eat and I'll pay" I hummed, he looks away "o-okay.. thank you" I nodded, holding his hand. He holds it back as his cheeks turned red.. cute..

We soon arrived and I went inside with him, we go up to the front and a waiter led us to our table. Tom sat down and I did the same. The waiter gave us Manus then left. We look for what to eat.

"What do you want?" I asked him "I'm.. thinking about getting blueberry pancakes and chocolate milk.. oh not hot chocolate" he hummed, I nodded, chuckling "I'll get a burger and fries and root beer" he nodded, when the waiter came we ordered out food. The wrote it down then left. 

"So.. what's your name?" I asked, he looks at me "t-thomas, I go by Tom though" I nodded "im-"

"Tord, I know-" he mumbled, I chuckled and nodded "right" I hummed, looked at tom and smiled. He looks back and seemed nervous.

I smiled softly, he seemed to relax.. soon the waiter came and gave us our drinks and food. Tom looks at his blueberry pancakes and smiled, he seemed so excited just from pancakes.

God he's cute

He began to eat happily and I soon did the same, I'd watch Tom eat. I love his smile, it's adorable.

Soon were bellies were stuffed. I grabbed my wallet and stood up, he got up too and followed me to the front desk. I payed for the food tipped the waiter. We both then left.

"What do you wanna do now?" I ask, he looks at me and hummed "I donno-" he mumbled, I nodded and thought "we could go to the park or to my house and watch a movie?" I say, he humed "m-movie?" I nodded and led him to my house, he seemed happy as he blushed a little..

Cute, why is he so cute?

We soon arrived to my house and I unlocked my door, I tell my dad's I'm home. Only not to get a reply, I looked around before finding I letter.

"What's it say?" I hear tom ask "my dad's are out- they had to go to work.." I hummed

"Dad's?" He looks at me and I look back, nodding "yeah, my parents are guys. After they got married they adopted me-" I said as I was slightly worried he didn't accept gays. Seems how I myself is bi..

"Oh okay" he smiled a little, I relaxed and smiled.

We both go upstairs..
