[ FIVE CONFESSIONS ]Ā bof of em
[ FIVE CONFESSIONS ]Ā Ā send for five times the receiver almost saysĀ āi love youā and the one time they do
1. its hard not to say it, when theyāre sleeping together and milesā hands are all over him and his lips against his neck and every inch of him feels so incredibly good, but he knows he canāt the first time, not like this.Ā
2. kyle always falls so fast, so completely entranced with the beauty of miles first thing in the morning, sleepy smile and thick accent, messy hair and the sun shining in the room just right. the three words linger on his tongue, but he doesnāt say it.
3. the more time kyle spends with miles the more sure of it he is, that he loves miles, that theyāre meant to be together, and this is all worth it. even on lazy nights when theyāre curled up watching a movie, miles is running a hand along kyleās back, heās glad thereās popcorn to keep him from saying it.Ā
4. kyle has hard days at work, itās hard working two jobs and trying to manage his schedule with milesā schedule. he gets stuck at work, misses his show, has to take the bus to milesā apartment after and heās showing up with tear stained cheeks, sniffling as miles pulls him into a hug.Ā āiām so sorry.ā he says, wants to tell miles he loves him, would never miss his show on purpose, and it woāt ever happen again.Ā
5. truthfully, heās scared to say it. heās worried miles doesnāt feel the same way, that heās feeling things way too fast, or that this isnāt as real for him, he doesnāt feel lucky enough to have miles, still doesnāt know why heās with him. he canāt believe it sometimes. gets in his head too much, late at night, half asleep, he wants to tell him- has been trying to all day, but he chickens out, rolls himself over and falls asleep instead.Ā
the next morning heās sat on the counter, watching miles make breakfast, humming along to the music thats softly playing. heās a dream come true, isnāt sure how he landed a guy like miles, but he really doesnāt plan on ever letting him go. as miles comes close, presses a kiss to his cheek, he stops him, grabbing his shoulder.Ā āhey.ā he says,Ā āi love you.ā he wonāt deny heās terrified, but he wants to tell him before he gets too scared again.Ā
1.Ā theyāre goofing around, making stupid silly faces at each other because neither of them wants to go to sleep. jude sat on milesā lap, cupping his face, tongue out and eyes crossed. heād do anything to make him laugh. making him laugh is his favorite thing in the world. silence comes over the both of them for a moment, and jude wants to say it, but presses their lips together instead.Ā
2. theyāre drunk and clinging to each other, stumbling back to judeās apartment. itās hard, a mess of limbs and giggling. even as they get to the door, miles is kissing all over him and jude is struggling with the key.Ā āshhhh, youāre gonna get us in fucking trouble.ā he squirms, finally getting the door to pop open and tugging miles in with him. no one else ever wants to have this much fun, thatās why he loves him so much. he doesnāt have time to tell him, can barely get the door shut before theyāre all over each other.Ā
3.Ā jude doesnāt love getting high, it makes him far too nervous, but every once in a while, it feels good, laying in bed, looking at miles, everything feels warm. every inch of him almost numb, tingling a little. he reaches out to touch milesā face, feels his love for him overwhelming him. he wants to tell them but is interrupted by miles. Ā youāre so fucking high. āyeah.ā he laughs, shaking his head.Ā
4.miles asks jude to move in with him. miles is tired of paying for an apartment when heās on tour, jude is tired of paying for his own apartment when he spends almost every moment at milesā place when heās home. at first jude thinks heās kidding. āwhat?ā he asks, though as miles explains more, tries to convince him really, like jude would ever say no. like jude isnāt impossibly in love with him. āof course, stupid. why would i say no?
5.Ā even when theyāre fighting, jude loves him. he feels angry tears welling in his eyes because miles just isnāt listening. heās not listening to what jude is trying to say, grabbing his things and shoving his shoes on. āwhat miles? you want to walk out, get fucking high, forget about me?ā he accuses. miles wontā hear him out, he wonāt let him explain, is too pissed off to talk about it anymore. āfine.ā jude loves him so much, even as heās walking out the door.Ā
time and time again they fight, they split, only to come back and apologize. this time is different. this time theyāre both too damn tired for this. too stubborn. jude hasnāt come home in days, been staying away, staying with jamie. he knows heās too weak to stay away. theyāve been talking for hours, and at this point they're both cried, screamed, and now jude is silently packing the rest of his things.Ā āi donāt- i donāt want to do this, you get that right?ā he says, finally looking at him. his bottom lip trembles and his hands shake at his sides. he wants to stay, but he doesnāt need anyone else to tell him he canāt. he knows it. he knows heās got to go before they hurt each other even worse.Ā āi love you miles, more than anything, but weāre going to kill each other if we keep this up. weāve tried for months to make it work and weāre worse off than where we started.āĀ
