Two weeks later Huxley was fully discharged from the hospital. Only some days left until Huxley's family returns and Huxley made it a priority to never let her family know of the accident.
Huxley laid on Atlas's bed until he got back into the room.
Atlas. I..... Huxley began after standing up to her feet. He was still facing the door when she began proper.
She was soon cut off by him.
But Huxley you shouldn't have caught the bullet that day.
Huh?
You could have died that day!
Well. Aren't you worth dying for?
You shouldn't have put your own life on the line. I was fine back there.
Stop it Atlas. Stop it. You were not-fine. I did it because you were-not-fine!
I was afraid Hux. I don't wanna lose you. I love you and I don't want to lose you.
....."well I love you just as much and I did that for you".
After that there was a weird silence.
At.. Atlas! I'm sorry for yelling.....
"I'm in love with you Huxley".
I don't just love you as a best friend. I think of you romantically and I want-to explore romantic love with you".
I know it's stupid for me to feel this way for you after I turned you down then. But I can't help my heart from beating when I'm with you. When I'm with you I become a whole different person. I become myself and no matter how I am you always accept me...I.....
Huxley did it thoughtlessly right? Right! She couldn't have knowingly cut him off with a peck on his lip. No! She was ever so shy to do that. But why not? She already did it. Now it's time for her to do the talking.
...."it's alright Atlas. I want to explore romantic feeling with you"..... She said and at once Atlas got her into his embrace.
The door cracked open slowly and all Atlas's mom could do was stare mesmerizingly as Atlas let his tongue explore Huxley's mouth. Huxley was ever so ready for no one other than Atlas.

That year, I thought it could never be. But...
"IN THE END, IT'S HIM AND I"
