Chapter 63
1065words
Early Sunday morning while his house is completely quiet and no one's made their way out of bed yet, Nico is locked in his room but not alone. Laid in his bed with him at 6:23 in the morning is Christian Wallace, the last person anyone expected to be there.
Their legs are entangled as they lay close quietly kissing each other, both boys touch and trace their hands against each others bodies unable to help how good it all feels. Since their secret kiss last night Nico couldn't help thinking about it the whole way home. It was midnight when he was in bed thinking about what it would be like to have Christian here with him, and next thing he knew "thank you for coming last night" Nico was sneaking the boy into his house, full of his family.
With his nose nuzzling close to Nico's as he caresses the boy's face, Christian whispers "thank you for texting and asking me to come."
They both know what they're doing is risky, but when a kiss felt as good as the one last night did, and you can't stop thinking about it there's not much else to do than to act on it. Christian's eyes pierce through Nico's as they stare at each other, Nico couldn't help the smile on his face. "What made you want to come to Darlington?" Christian asks as they're cuddling
"I wanted to get my heart broken by Christian Wallace," Nico answers and they laugh. The talking is kept minimal and very quiet so Nico's family won't hear.
"You think I'll break your heart?" Christian traces his fingers against Nico's face, Nico nods to the question and Christian grins "I might."
"Wow not even going to deny it" Christian pulls Nico close by the waist and they continue to kiss. Nico's hands make their way under his shirt, sending a sensational feeling up and down Christian's spine as he gently touches him.
The talking is little so when they're not kissing Nico's eyes would trail elsewhere causing him to think about other things. Things he doesn't want to be thinking about right now so to stop he'd just kiss Christian again. "What are you thinking about?" Christian whispers in his ear touching his hair
Nico looks at him and asks "how long do you think we could keep this up for?" "What do you mean?"
Nico knows what he means and he knows why he asked the question, but saying it out loud will probably ruin everything so instead he says "sooner or later-" his words are cut off when someone knocks on his door. "That'll happen" Christian and Nico look at each other and Nico signals him to keep quiet, the knocking continues and he knows exactly who it is, "what Penny?!"
"Mom wants to know if you wanna get breakfast then go to the farmers market with us?" Penny asks from the other side of the door "No thanks"
"Okay" he looks at Christian who's smiling and Nico rolls his eyes, "hey can I come in to show you this rock I found outside?"
"Go away!" Christian laughs and Nico shakes his head "I'm sorry, she's weird."
"I live with Clay" Christian replies "I know weird." The moment Christian says his name Nico is faced with what he's been avoiding, his friend Clay kissed him and he wasn't sure how he felt about it. Nico
wasn't as sure as when he and Christian kissed and now instead of dealing with Clay's kiss, he's in bed with his brother. Something he promised he wouldn't do.
Time passes and they fall sleep but when he wakes up Nico finds the other side of the bed empty. Reaching for his phone on the nightstand Nico doesn't get a chance to do anything when he hears a loud deafening scream. Panicking he rushes out of his bed knowing no one could scream as loud as his little sister when she's scared. Rushing downstairs he sees her fighting with Eli, "Penny why are you screaming?" He looks around making sure she didn't see Christian or something
"Eli won't give me the remote!" They try to yank it from each other "Mom said I could watch tv! She was coloring"
"Ugh" Nico sighs walking away.
Going into the kitchen he opens the fridge getting a bottle of water out, "where have you been all day?" Nico's father asks sitting at the dinner table on his computer
Surprised because he didn't see his dad there Nico clears his throat and lies, "working on a project" "How's school going?"
His mind trails to his night and morning with Christian and his kiss with Clay, "great" he quickly answers "gotta go" he walks out of the kitchen to avoid his father's questions.
Going back to his room Nico checks his phone and sees a text from Christian, 'had to sneak out while you were sleeping, your house was pretty empty so I took the opportunity. Let me know if you want me to come back later.'
With such an eventful weekend Nico was dreading going back to school, how is he supposed to face Clay after basically spending the weekend with his brother? He knows avoiding it all isn't an option so all he can do is not say anything.
Walking around looking for Christian before class Nico texts him, 'hey are you in class yet?' 'Hey and nope had practice this morning so I'm about to shower'
'Any way I could talk to you before that happens?' 'You can talk to me while it happens ;)'
Nico reads that texts and sighs knowing he should probably say no, 'locker room right?' 'Yep'
Making his way to the boy's locker room on the first floor Nico walks in, as he looks for Christian the bell goes off and everyone grabs their things leaving. Stopping when he sees Christian, Nico sees him take his shirt off and the sweat that glistens down his chest. "I see you" Christian smiles catching him
"Sorry" Nico snaps out of it moving closer, "how was practice?"
"Fine" Christian replies walking to Nico, "kinda shocked you didn't text me to come back yesterday." With Nico against the lockers,
Christian stands in front of him moving closer and closer. "Figured one night at my house was probably enough"
