Chapter two - The pillow

“I said your cute!”

”Yeah I know but , y-you think I’m cute?”

”yeah how could I not?”

”I-I “ Tyler stutteres,not able to hide how much he was blushing now.

“Anyways what do you want to do for dinner?”Ethan says looking at the clock behind Tyler. “its almost 6pm.”

“Oh um I don’t mind you can pick!”

“Alright if you say so,I’ll be back in a bit with our food!”

”Oh okay see you later then!”

Ethan turns to leave while saying

”Bye pretty boy”

With a wide smirk on his face ,he graps his keys and walks out, Winking at Tyler.

Tyler is now frozen sitting on the bed,his brain trying to process what just happened.

About 15 minutes go by and Ethan finally returns to the dorm with the food.

“Hey pretty boy I’m back and I got Chinese food,I hope that’s okay!”

”Oh yeah that’s okay I love Chinese food!”

”Good,here you go.”

Ethan hands Tyler his food and sits down next to him,He turns to him and says

”While we eat do you maybe wanna watch a movie?”

“Yeah sure what movie do.. you… y-y.. why are you staring at my lips?”

“Huh oh nothing you just have a little something-“ Ethan reaches for Tyler’s face and with a gentle grasp wipes the smudge bbq sauce of Tyler’s face and licks it off his finger.

Tyler’s face fills with pure pink and he freezes staring at Ethan

“Anyways what were you saying about the movie cause I thought maybe we could watch a horror ,I heard a really good new one just came out!”

“WHAT I I mean Huh?” Tyler snaps back still in shock

“Do you wanna watch a horror movie?”

“Oh um yeah sure,but just to let you know I’m a bit of a scaredy cat..”

“Oh don’t worry pretty boy you can cuddle me if you get scared”

He winks at Tyler with his wide smirk as always.

“W-WHAT!”

Ethan laughs

“I mean you don’t have to but I’m just saying.”Ethan gestures to his lap,still slightly laughing.

After what feels like an eternity of Tyler screaming internally they finally settled down on the bed to watch the movie.Within the first 5 minutes Tyler is shaking with fear with his knees to his chest and arms squeezing his legs.

“I’m being serious if you get scared you can come closer.”

“H-huh?”Tyler manages too blurt out before flying across the bed ,from the jump scare,right onto Ethan.

“O-OH IM SO SORRY!” Tyler goes to get off when Ethan stops him and pulls him closer

“No you don’t have to apologise and you don’t have to get up either,Just stay here,your clearly terrified!”

“O-ok.”Tyler sits right next to him and Ethan wraps his arm around the back of Tyler’s shoulders and pulls him closer.

Tyler lets his guard down finally calming down a bit.

Another jump scare,Tyler screams and grips Ethan’s hand tightly.

“Wooah are you okay?”

“Y-yeah sorry did I squeeze to hard?”

“no no your fine but are you sure your okay with watching this? we can watch something else!”

“Um actually could we just go to bed? I’m kind of tired.”

“Oh yeah sure!”

“Thanks, oh also do you mind if I put a pillow in the middle ?I’m kind of a sleep cuddler and I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”

“Oh okay sure I don’t mind.”

”y-yeah okay,Goodnight!”

Ethan turns off the light and gets into bed

“Yeah good night pretty boy!”

They both fall asleep and after a long night of Tyler tossing and turning Ethan wakes up at 6am to the pillow gone and Tyler cuddling him.
