I watched Preston as he struggled in his blanket, unsure of what to do. I didn't want to wake him, but he was also clearly distressed. I didn't have to worry about it for long though, since he stopped moving, and his eyes fluttered open.copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv0dRTBvaH
“Tyler?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡdegXTki23i
“Yeah?” I gave him a concerned look, which made him frown,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvTqFpdan
“I love you, you know that?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡlktuYurMvU
“I… I love you too.” I shyly smiled at him, and he smiled back, blushing slightly, “Are you okay?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dcgYz7905
“Yeah, just had a… flashback.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3o9mN6RPJ
“To the… thing?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaMvAskuEY
“Uh-huh…” He nodded, wiping at his eyes, drawing my attention to the tears staining his cheeks.copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcTUaqf3Vf
“Hey… It's okay. W-We survived.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEwE9X1Xfm
“Y-Yeah… we did… Can you come here?” Preston asked, and I nodded. He sat himself up, and wrapped his arms around me when I took a seat. He rested his head on my shoulder, “Thank you, Tyler… Or, actually, not, since you hate that.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡebKuD0NAEx
“Yeah, I really do.” I chuckled softly,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS3miUQMiV
“Why…? Why do you think we... survived…?” He whispered,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfa7c849zQ
“I don't know… We got lucky, I guess…” I sighed, “I'm really sorry for… making these memories come back to the surface.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjgkEq33Al
“Y-You… You didn't… They've been there, they always have. I just… didn't want to bother you with it.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkoNa7bNra
“Why would it bother me?” I frowned,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYEUchgJcX
“I don't know…You've just got a lot to focus on yourself, and I don't want to add more onto your plate.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8bY4WM1R9
“Dude, you've got to tell me this… I… I don't care about anything else, if you're going through shit, well… I want to help you, because I… I…” I took a deep breath, “I c-care about you… a… a lot. You're… You're the only person I've ever had, and… Fuck, I just… I don't want you to be alone.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvhks5HMza
“I-I'm sorry, I don't know why-”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEjkv81LFW
“Don't apologize, you don't need to.” The both of us stayed silent for a while, unsure of what to do or what to say,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYpzGieHJX
“It… He haunts me in my sleep, Tyler… I… I don't know how to get rid of him.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHSVmAATBS
“I’m not sure either, Preston… I’m sure it would take some sort of therapy… When all this is over, we can do that. I have the money for it.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSzVwVaFy
“But don’t you need that to move out?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwNQ9yt8ek
“I have enough, as long as I can pick up a job right away. If not, well… I’ll just stay out here a bit longer.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡES3Ao8CH5O
“I still don’t see why you don’t just move in with my dad and I.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFP6sjwDyJ
“If I had been cut on money, I definitely would have, but… God, I don’t want to go back there.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu7iGZx3BF
“Why not?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UxZMwERJf
“My shitty family… The thing… This… I just… It’s too much for one little town, and it drives me mad. If you wanna go back, I’ll... send you money or something.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PJZSGitjT
“But Tyler… I don’t want to be away from you. For the last... fourteen years or so, we’ve been together… It will be… weird? I guess… Just… Please consider staying with me and my dad. You won’t have to go see your parents. You’ll be eighteen, you legally can do whatever you want.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPjUOlKAky
“I… Yeah, I’ll think about it.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AQtVvs8jS
“Or you could at least not go too far away…”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDG9J8PG4d
“Of course I’m not gonna go far… Did it sound like I was?”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡloDTtKHknK
“Yeah, it did. It always sounded like you were gonna go all the way across the world.” He whispered, making me chuckle,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs4LJcGeay
“I wish.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2eClsSlev
“I don’t.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbZLyXSOss
“Why not? You won’t have to deal with my grumpy ass anymore.” I teased, but Preston didn’t seem to enjoy it,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqbhO4K3Y8
“You aren’t grumpy.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSvlrWzhl
“Really?” I raised an eyebrow, and he laughed,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGV5G4DfoE
“Okay, maybe a little, but I don’t mind.” Preston sighed, “I used to hate it though.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhClgf41XH
“How could you not? I still hate it.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SMHcHTRo4
“I think I mainly hated it because of the time you started developing it.”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyWEjkWXz9
“Why? Was it hard for me to turn you on?” I smirked as I watched Preston’s jaw drop and his face turn red.copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDHMaf1e7
“Eww, no you perv! I was like ten!” He lightly slapped me, and I burst out into a fit of laughter, “Dude, it’s not that funny,”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GRDNthF6L
“I know, I’m pretty sure I’m sleep drunk,” I explained, still laughing,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf1QKeU6fp
“Then go to sleep!”copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbtrV5nzHA
“I can’t do that when your fat ass is on top of me!” I chuckled,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVUkljY7sK
“Wowww, okay.” He shook his head, and moved out of the way so I could lay down. Once I was comfortable, I pulled him down on top of me, and wrapped my arms around him,copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4y0Bp70lC
