Julian's POV
An intoxicated smile appeared on my face as I laid beside Mattias. Although it was a joyful smile of mine, it was still filled with confusion. Until, I looked at my hand placement and realized, I made a mistake. I know what he meant by 'don't touch me unless you mean it.'
I jumped off of the bed. "Shit! I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing I'm j-just sorry." I said drunkenly. I tripped over one of my shoes. "Julian, it's okay. I was just surprised to not be the only one in the bed that's all." He said calmly
Even though he said those words that meant so much, I still felt ashamed and confused. He gets up from the bed and helps me up to the bed. He turns and lay down to the right side. I don't know why or how but, I did the same. We're so close and I don't know why but I like it.
My stomach pressing on his back felt so euphoric to me in that state. I want to treasure this moment.
This'll be the best sleep I'll ever have.
~Saturday Morning~
The light coming from the window hurt my eyes. Woke up laying with the one who lies. Never mind it I can't have a orientation surprise.
I get up having a complete hangover. I shake Mattias aggressively to wake him up. "Uggghhh. What is it?" He asked in a drowsy voice. "We need to go. Got your car keys?" I asked trying not to rush him. "Yeah, I got everything I need in my pockets." He responded while also getting ready to stand. We make it down the stairs. It's a mess and we aren't staying to help clean. We finally make it to Mattias' car.
"Uhm, can we just go to your house? Your house is closer." Mattias said after starting up the car. "Sure. My parents aren't home anyway." I responded. He nods and then pushes his foot down on the gas.
Once we arrive to my house, we both get out and head to the door. Mattias follows me upstairs into my room. I can tell that he needed some more rest. He has a serious hangover right now. "Just lay down, Mattias. I'll go get you some water." I say.
Before I go back downstairs he grabs my wrist. "I'm sorry, just stay, please," He said tiresomely. I didn't know what he was apologizing for but it was sincere so I did what he wanted. I sat on the bed as he laid beside me.
Shortly after he fell asleep, I turn on Netflix on my tv. Scrolling to find something to watch while I wait for him to wake. His phone chimes. Eh, its probably just a game notification.
It chimes four more times.
I lean over towards the nightstand by my bed to see what those notifications are. It's his brother texting him, Myles. I don't think Mattias would respond right now. I'll just let it chime for now.
Ugh, to be honest I just wanna do the same thing Mattias is doing, sleep. And for some reason, I wanna sleep beside him. Why do I feel like this for him? Why do I wanna do things like sleep beside him?
Wait, he said don't touch him unless I mean it...
I turn my television off and lay down on my bed beside him. I wrap my arm around him, and I close my eyes…
I wake up staring at my other pillow with a piece of paper on it. I sit up on my bed and grab it.
"See you later, Julian. And thanks for the nap." Mattias said in the note.
Fuck, I can't stop. I can't stop smiling. I'm glad I slept with him. I'm gonna play Bowie now.
As I walk downstairs, blasting music in my empty house I pull my phone out of my pocket. I kinda wanna tell someone. I got a perfect idea.
I go to my contacts and press on Sam.
"What's up, Julian?" He greeted.
"Hey, Sam. You got anything planned for today?" I asked over the phone.
"Rose and I are going skating today. But you can come if you want."
"Okay."When I arrive at the skating rink and walk over to the table where Rose and Sam are, its someone else there too. But I can't see cause the person has a hood on.
"Finally! You're here, Julian. Now we can skate." Sam said enthusiastically. He turns at the person beside him. "And the quiet one," He says taking off the person's hood. "Is of course my sister, Sarah." She frowns after he says that.
"I didn't even want to come! You're lucky mom told me I had to." Sarah says.
"Ha, chill out and enjoy yourself Sarah. Look," he says pointing to a group of teens trying out their skates. "I see your age group," he says. She nods 'no' and continue to focus on her phone. shrugs.
"Julian, why did it take you twenty years to use the bathroom at the party?" Rose asks. "Oh, I'll tell you that on the rink."
Sam, Rose, and I skate on the skating rink beside each other. It's not that many people here today. Oh, I can't forget to tell them.
"Guys, guess what," Julian smirks. "What?" Rose responded.
"I slept with Myles," I can tell I smiled when I said that.
"Dude, what?"
"Woah."
I can't help but laugh. I guess I could've said it better.
"I mean we like we went to sleep together. My arms around him. Yeaaah. Short story at least," I tell them. Sam and Rose look at him.
"Dude tell us the full story," Sam says.
That's why I love Sam and Rose. I can always talk with them about anything no questions asks.
