Hold Me Closer
An Elijah Hewson fanfic.
CHAPTER 1 : The Story Of Us.
You and Elijah had been friends since the day you were born. Both of you were described as nepo babies, as both of your dads were insanely famous...
Since middle school, you started feeling something for him, something weird, that in your opinion you shouldn't have felt for him: love...
You tried telling him how you felt, multiple times, but always felt something holding you back, something telling you he didn't feel the same way.
But he clearly did. He believes that nobody has ever felt the way he does about you. He knows he's in love, but just as afraid as you to tell you.
You guys were now grown up, but still friends (He was 24, you were his same age). You were in a friend group with him, where you guys would usually plan holidays which would never happen, because everytime one of you had a problem...Except for now. An holiday had been planned, and it was an holiday to Sardinia, Italy. Everything fortunately had worked out, and you guys met outside the airport.
"Eli!" — You hugged him, since you hadn't seen him in such a long time...
"Hey, Y/N...Everything's good?" — He said, hugging you back, wrapping his arms around you as if he was holding a treasure.
"Everything's fine, how about you?..." — You pulled away from the hug.
"It's pretty great..." — He smiled.
Your friends called you over, as you needed to get through security to then reach your gate and go on the plane.
** (skipping the whole plane part because I'm lazy LMAO)
You finally landed in Sardinia at about 4.30pm. It took you a few to get to your hotel, but as you arrived, you found out there were shared rooms:
• Bobby and Martha ("well, of course...they're together..." you thought.)
• Josh and Ryan ("right, the bestfriends go together...")
• You and...ELI!?
As soon as you got told you were with Eli, your cheeks flushed, and so did his to be fair.
As soon as you reached your room, you put your luggage down, and started unpacking.
"So..." — He said — "You happy to be on vacation?"
"Absolutely, honestly I was waiting only for this moment after like...months of working on new magazines and interviews...Truly, I was waiting for an holiday at the beach for YEARS..." — You smiled, talking softly.
"Yeah, I get it...After all my concerts this year I honestly needed a break." — He said.
You both finished unpacking and noticed it was getting pretty late.
"Hey, I'm going to take a shower, alright?" — He said, walking into the bathroom.
"Yeah, that's fine..." — You looked at each movement he made, hypnotized by his beauty.
**
After a few minutes, he had finished his shower, and he walked out with just a towel wrapped around his waist.
You looked at him for a slight second, but immediately blushed and covered your eyes.
"Hey, you can look, I'm not uncomfortable with it-" — He laughed, seeing you all embarrassed.
"N-No I'd...I'd rather not..." — You mumbled, still seeing his figure even if you covered your eyes...It's like an image in your head that you'll never get rid off now that you saw it...
**
You both had showered and had gotten comfortable in your bed.
You started chit chatting 'till late, talking to eachother about your adventures, your memories when you were younger and everything you had done over the years. It felt like a core memory, like something you and him were aching to do since...Basically ever. You guys couldn't wish for anything better. He laughed at your little jokes, and you giggled at his teasing and at his laugh. Each time your eyes met, your heart would skip a beat.
He had noticed how late it had gotten...
"Ah, fuck...We've been chit chatting for too long...I fear..." — He giggled, getting under the blankets and getting comfortable.
"Yeah...Well...Goodnight then..." — You mumbled, trying not to stay too much on him scared to bother him, as you were laying in the same bed.
"Goodnight, Y/N..." — He said with his tired voice, falling asleep almost immediately.
**
The next morning, you both woke up...BUT IN EACHOTHER'S ARMS?
He immediately backed up, blushing.
"O-Oh shit, I'm so sorry- I...I didn't-" — He panicked.
"H-Hey It's fine- Really don't worry Eli-..." — You comforted him — "It's really nothing..." — You smiled.
He calmed down, and the morning slowly went on and on.
You had decided with the friend group to spend the holiday together, so obviously first thing in the morning was going to the beach!
You and Elijah were carrying your stuff to the beach, as you followed your friends.
You set your stuff down with Eli's help, and got ready to pass a beautiful day at the beach.
"My main problem is tanning...I never tan..." — He said.
"Well no shit, you're as pale as a ghost Elijah..." — You giggled, clearly ironic.
"Haha. Wow! Funny." — He said with a serious tone, but with a smirk on his face...
The day at the beach passed, and Elijah through the whole day was acting really sweet, cute and...simply amazing towards you.
As soon as you reached your hotel, each one of you went to their rooms, taking a shower and then going down for dinner. You and Elijah continued exchanging glances, glances that told eachother everything, every feeling, every word you needed to say...
Back to your room, you felt the feeling to be closer to him...A feeling you have never really felt, but that now you feel. You knew it could've had a great effect on Eli, or a bad one, but you still went for it...
END OF CHAPTER 1.
Chapter 2 incoming...maybe soon, maybe late? We'll see... 👀
