JULIAN OLIVAREZ
I'm familiar with this feeling. This warmth and overall atmosphere,it's all nothing new. I don't want to lose it, so I continue snuggling deeper into the source of this comfortable warmth.
My last memory was of me opening the door for Adrien,though whatever happened after is all a blur. I can't seem to recall what happened,I adjust myself trying to at least recall something clear beyond the fog in my memory.
I feel something shifting in my bed. That's when I realized that I had company and it must be none other than Adrien.
I opened my eyes, slowly adjusting to the darkness that's surrounding the room. I try to pull away the hand that's around my waist,holding me onto him like I'm an extension of his body, but it coils tighter around me instead of letting me go.
"Hey,I need to get up." I groan out a plea,hoping he will set me free, but no. Mr Man holds me tighter in his warm embrace.
"Adrien, please,I need to pee. Like as soon as I can or else I might end up wetting my bed." He chuckles and lets me go.
I get up and walk to my ensuite bathroom to pee and wash my face,it is so sticky. I look at myself in the mirror, and there are remnants of tears on my face. My eyes are bloodshot, and my throat is sore. It only means that I had a breakdown.
All memories came flooding back to my mind till when I passed out in Adrien's hands.
"Oh my God,what's wrong with me?"
I finished my business and cleaned up before walking out and going back to my bed.
"Are you feeling any better? I prepared some painkillers and balm ointments if you feel any pain. Here,take this." Adrien hands me two tablets and water. I swallow them and lay back down.
"I'm alright Adrien,thank you for coming when I called." I tell him because I mean it. I don't know what would have happened if he didn't show up.
"Do you want to talk about it? Whoever is messing with my Jules shall be punished for their atrocities." He says,seriously like he means it. That if anybody fucked me up,they won't live to see another day.
"Hey big man,chill. It's just therapy and nobody else." I tell him with a smirk. Glad that he is willing to go that far for me. It's a first,and I'm celebrating small victories lately.
"Oh,you mean you going through therapy. I hate therapists,they break your shell and open you up to pain." Adrien mumbles,mostly to himself.
"Yeah,I just started and it's a tough fit. I hate to admit it but it's sort of helping me break through certain barriers within me." I pat his shoulder to cool his nerve.
"Alright,I guess that means that there's no one for me to mash up." He replies with a slight chuckle.
"I see. So,what would you like to do? We can't just lay down here doing nothing. How about we go downstairs and make something to eat, I'm starving. I suggest and to my surprise,Adrien carries me up princess style.
"Adrien,I can walk on my own. I'm not that weak and powerless, out me down." He obliged and put me down on my feet.
I leas him to my kitchen and asked him to sit down while I prepare lasagna for us to eat.
We sat down and ate our meal peacefully while having small talk. I'm glad he did not ask for details about my therapy or rub it in my face that I had acted the way I did. I can't seem to control myself when I'm around Adrien,I find myself being extremely vulnerable around him and sadly,I don't feel bad about it.
Maybe it's because he is bigger and definitely stronger and more dominant than I am. There is a way he coddles me, and I shamelessly love it,I won't deny it. I'm not used to being given attention and affection and ever since I met Adrien,he has been giving me lots of it.
I blush at the thought of craving more of this affection and honestly,I'm not used to being at the receiving end of anything he offers. He looks at me like I'm the only person who piques his interest. Pays attention to me,listens and holds me in my sleep. I cannot be more right to want this,you know!
"....zoned out there." I snap out of my thoughts to the sound of snapping figures. I look towards Adrien and he has concern etched on his face.
"You're all flustered,and lost in your thoughts. Are you sick or something dear?" Oh my God,what did I do to deserve such a caring person.
"I'm okay,really. I guess I just zoned out for a little while,I'm sorry Adrien." I apologize while holding his hand.
"If you have anything to say,please be my guest." He offers and I nod my head.
We finished eating and Adrien offered to do the dishes but I just told him to place the plates in the dishwasher.
We then went to my parlour and sat down to watch over some movies over some snacks and apple juice for me,orange juice for him. I was carrying an extra blanket in my hand while Adrien carried our snacks.
I noticed that we have a few things in common,like one,we both don't do alcoholic beverages,meats of any kind and so much more.
Adrien sat in the three seater sofa and tapped for me to join him. He opened his welcoming arms for me,how could i possibly deny that offer to cuddle while watching some movies. I did as requested and lay down with him, my back on his chest ,ready for the awaiting blankets and snacks night.
To be honest,this feels more intimate than wrong. Adrien is turning my life upside down,in the best way possible,I can't deny that anymore.
Later in the middle of the night,I hear Adrien's husky voice asking the most random question.
"You know I like you,right?"
