Tyler's P.O.V
"James?", "Yeah?" he comes up behind me and looks out the kitchen window.
"Oh, that looks bad." he says seeing what I'm seeing, "I didn't even know it was supposed to snow" I look at him.
"I didn't either but this is a full-blown snowstorm." All you can see is white flying through the skies.
After we got back from the mall he made lunch and we watched Disney movies.
It's now a little after seven and the pretty little white flurries from earlier have now formed into a negative-degree aggressive storm.
James' phone rings and he answers, "Hey", "...", "Yeah we're home", "...", "Okay, yeah I'll tell her.", "...", "Bye, love you too." he hangs up and puts his phone back in his pocket.
"So my parents got stuck with the storm, they're gonna stay the night at a hotel. But they want you to tell Daniel because he thinks they'll be here. And I guess if he's not okay with it somehow I'd get you home." he sits down on the couch.
I nod and my phone rings, it's Daniel. I answer and go into the kitchen, something about asking on the phone in front of someone is so awkward.
"Hello?", "Hey Tyler are you and James at his house?" I can tell he's at home, I hear all the chaos in the background.
"Yeah" I look back at James and he's peeking over the couch watching me.
"Um so his parents got caught out in the storm and they're staying at a hotel tonight. But they wanted me to tell you so you'll know they won't be here, and if it was still okay for me to stay tonight." I hold my breath waiting for his answer.
"Okay, yeah you can stay.", "Really!" I can't help but sound excited.
"Yeah" I jump up and down a few times, "And Tyler?" I stop. "Yeah?", "Between you and me I don't care if yall sleep in the same bed." he whispers.
"T-thank you" I feel my cheeks heat up for some reason.
We say bye and hang up I put my phone in my pocket and go to the living room and stand in front of James.
"I can stay" he stands up and wraps his arms around me, "Yay!", I lean back a little.
"And, he said we could sleep in the same room... in the same bed." his eyes get big then he smiles hard.
"I get to cuddle with my little Tyler" he pulls me back against his chest, and I nuzzle into him again.
"Why do you do that?" he chuckles and pulls away. "I dunno, I just want to be like in your skin you aren't close enough." I look up at him.
"You went from no touching to I want to be in your skin within like two weeks." he laughs, and I can't help but laugh along with him.
Then my stomach lets out this loud obnoxious growl, "Hungry?" I nod and he pulls away going to the kitchen.
"I got stuff for us to make personal pizzas," he says and goes to the pantry to grab stuff. "First we gotta make the dough" he says opening the bag of flour.
He pulls out his phone and pulls up a recipe and together we make the dough. "Okay so now it has to rise for an hour and a half to an hour" he says putting the bowl off to the side.
---
As we waited for the dough to rise we Watched Legally Blonde, completely against my will. James said it's the movie that made his mom want to be a lawyer, I mean it does have its funny moments but there's far too much pink and way too many blondes.
After the movie we made out little pizzas, I had just cheese because I'm very boring. James however had like everything you could imagine on his.
Now it's a little past ten and we're watching the second Legally Blonde movie because according to James you can't watch the first and not the second.
"Do we have to do this?" I ask as he sets the things down on his bathroom counter. "Yes Tyler, skin care is very important." he closes the cabinet door, "You do face masks?" I ask in disbelief.
"I've played football since I was in sixth grade. That's many, many hours of sweating and your pores get all clogged. So much acne and blackheads, once I started doing skincare they stopped even with the gross sweating." he shrugs like it's nothing.
"Okay, but I have to put it on becauseee?", "Because it'll be fun, and your face will feel great after" he smiles then boops my nose.
"Fine, I guess," I sigh and pull my bangs up into a little ponytail on top of my head. "Do you have another one?" he asks watching me, I nod and give him the one off my wrist.
I watch as he pulls up the front of his hair into a little ponytail on top luke mine. "My hair's too long, I need to make an appointment to get it cut." he sighs.
"I could do it" I say getting excited, "Really?", "Yeah, I cut Greysons hair all the time, speaking of he'll be bothering me here in a few days to do it".
"Okay, yeah I'll let you cut my hair", "Yay" I can't stop myself as I hug him. I don't know what it is with him, I used to hate touching and hugs, but with him, I like crave them.
"Okay this is gonna be a little cold" he says squeezing out the black goop into his hand and bringing it to my face.
It's not as bad as I was expecting, he spears it all around in an even layer. Leaving a ring around my mouth and eyes.
"I look like a reverse panda" I say looking in the mirror, "You're my reverse panda" he says washing his hands off.
"Okay, my turn" he says handing me the tube, he goes over and sits on the closed toilet lid so I won't have to look up at him.
I squeeze it in my hand and immediately regret it, I don't like how this feels. I try and not make it obvious so hopefully, he doesn't notice and take my hand to his cheek.
"Try and not to get it in my beard okay, it'll be torture as it rips all the hair's out." he says as I start smearing it around. I nod and do like he did leaving a ring around his eyes and a nice little border around his beard so it doesn't rip the hair's out.
"Okay and now we wait" he says as I wash it off my hands. "Come on let's go lay on the bed" he grabs my hips as he walks past me and leads me out of the bathroom to his bed.
I sit on his bed and hug Cameron to my chest, "It's still coming down hard out there" James says looking out his window as he sits next to me.
"Who knows you might have to stay another night" he smiles at me, "I don't know if Daniel would like that" I pull on Cameron's ear.
James turns on his TV and Bob's Burgers plays in the background as we wait for the masks to dry. After what feels like ages my face feels all tight and itchy.
James brings his hand out and touches my face, "Okay I think they're dry." he stands up and takes my hands in his pulling me up.
We go to the bathroom and pull them off, he then wets a washcloth and hand's it to me to wipe off the rest.
We throw the peeled mask away and I let out a yawn, "Tired?" he chuckles. I just nod, "Okay jammy time" he sings as he leaves the bathroom.
I follow behind and go to my bag and pull out some sweatpants and an oversized tee shirt. I see James go over to his closet so I go to the bathroom to change.
When I say oversized shirt I mean oversized, it goes down to almost my knees and hangs off my shoulder and you can see my bra strap.
Yes, I sleep in a bra, I find it comfortable and if the hose was ever on fire or anything and I had to leave I'd have one on.
I grab the clothes I was in earlier and go back out to the room. I put my stuff in my bag and hear the closet door open and James steps out of it.
I grab my toothbrush and paste and stand up and turn. I freeze when I see him, there he stands in only a pair of grey sweats bare-chested.
I stare at him for who knows how long taking him in, he's got a kind of hairy chest. Not a bunch like a mountain man but more than you see on most guys his age.
He's got strong pecs and toned arms, he's got a stomach on him. He's not fat, like I've said before he's got chubb on him but you can also see a six-pack. He has a happy trail leading down into the waist band of his pants, leading to his- NEVERMIND!
"I'll put a shirt on if it makes you comfortable," he says bringing me out of my daze, "N-no you're fine" I look up at his face.
"Hmm, do you like me shirtless?" he teases a little stepping forward, I feel my face heat up. "W-what", "I think you do" he steps even closer.
"Shut up" I whisper looking away from him, I feel his arms wrap around me. Slowly I bring my arms up and wrap them around him feeling the soft skin of his back on my hands.
I feel him rest his chin on my head, "Sorry for teasing ya', it's just so cute watching your face get all red and hearing you stutter" I feel his chest rumble as he chuckles.
"Okay let's go brush our teeth and go to bed" he lets me go and goes to the bathroom.
I look in th3 mirror and notice my bangs still in the little ponytail, I take them down and run my fingers through them so they look normal.
James grabs his toothbrush, wets it, puts on some toothpaste then starts brushing. I take mine out of the little case, wet it, put on toothpaste, wet it again then brush.
I watch him in the mirror and can't help but giggle, "What?" he says but you can't really understand him, and I can't help but giggle more.
He smiles and spits then rinses off his toothbrush. I brush around one more time then spit and rinse. I put my toothbrush back in the little case and see that he still has his hair up.
I stand on my tip toes and pull it down, his hair falls a little in his face and I bring my hands up and run my fingers through to fix it.
He watches me the whole time, then leans down and kisses me wrapping his arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back, he pulls away and leans his forehead against mine.
"Come on, let's get to bed" he then kisses my forehead and leads me out of the bathroom and to his bed again.
He pulls back the blankets and gestures for me to get in, "You go first, that way if anyone were to break in I'm in between you and the door".
I crawl in and he follows after, "No one's gonna abreast in right?" I can't help but panic after he said that.
"No, no one's gonna break in. The front doors are locked and we have a security system" he pulls the blankets up and I slide down so I'm laying down.
He lays down beside me and resumes the show on the TV. He then wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me to him, I roll over so I'm facing his chest and snuggle into him.
It doesn't take long before I'm sleeping peacefully snuggled into James.

This chapter took me far too long to write. I know how the next ones gonna go so I had to figure out how to get this one there and couldn't come up with like anything.
