I'll Love You, Regardless

I Stayed//Henry's POV

He asked me to stay. I could feel my heart skip a few beats. Should I sleep out on the couch, should I sleep in his room with him? Gah! My mind is racing in circles.

"Common! Let me get you set up so we can watch more movies!" Charles smiled.

"A-Alright," I stuttered.

He lead me back to his room. It look pretty nice, a few shelves, a computer, and a spot to place his headset. 

He jumped backwards onto his bed. 

"Common, it's comfy, I promise," he smiled.

Hesitantly, I hopped onto the bed in the same fashion that Charles did. 

"You weren't lying, it's comfy," I said, suprised.

"You're welcome to sleep on here," he offered.

"No, it's fine really," I said, not wanting to be invasive. 

"Henry, that couch is uncomfortable as hell. Trust me, you'll wanna sleep on this," he said.

"Fine, but only because you say so," I said.

Charles smiled, "Let's pick another movie! No more horror movies, I'd like to avoid nightmares."

"Okay, okay, no horror movies," I said.

"It's your turn, let's hop on Netflix!" he said, handing me the remote.

I scrolled through the options.

"How about we check out this," I said.

"I saw the word love, I'm sold," he smiled.

"You're such a hopeless romantic," I said.

"I know," he smiled.

My heart just melted when he did that voice and smiled. I hit play. 

Several episodes in

"Would you marry someone without seeing them?" Charles asked.

"I don't know, if I knew them personally, probably," I said.

He mumbled something, but I didn't care to say anything. I had noticed that we'd slowly gravitated towards each other. Who knows, maybe this could lead to cuddles.  

About one episode later

About the cuddling. It's happening. IT'S HAPPENING!! I think, eh. Charles is leaning on me. I cannot move. This. Is. Perfect.

"What time is?" Charles yawned. 

"Probably enough time for one more episode, plus we'll finish the season," I said.

"Alright, one more episode, then sleep," Charles said.

"One more, then sleep," I repeated.

"Just press play already," he said.

I hit play. I felt Charles shiver.

"Hey, you cold?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said.

"Here," I said, taking off my jacket and giving it to him.

"I can grab a blanket-"

"No, use my jacket," I insisted.

"Fine," he said, getting flustered.

As Charles sat back down and leaned on me, I heard my phone buzz. I leaned over to grab it. It was Ellie. 

Ells: Where are you?

Ells: It's been 3 hours Henry.

Ells: Do I need to send a search team. Nah, you're probably fine.

Ells: Nevermind, answer.

Thefty is typing....

Thefty: I'm with Charles- I mean Helicopter Boy.

Ells: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

Thefty: Yeah, we're watching movies and netflix series. Now if you don't mind me, I'll be getting back to that.

Ells: Yes, do that. Sorry for interupting.

I put my phone back on the table.

"Who was that?" Charles asked.

"Ellie, my best friend," I said.

"Oh yeah, I've met her," he said.

"When? Oh yeah," I remembered.

Charles yawned, "I'm really tired."

"Alright sleepyhead, let's go," I said.

I shut off the T.V., and walked towards the back with him. I laid on the bed, feeling a sense of happiness. I slowly closed my eyes, drifting into a deep sleep.
