“Hm…. true. Sadly.”
“Hm…. true. Sadly.”
“Sadly for you, good for me. If that’s the only way I’ll get you to stick around then I guess I’ll take it.”
"You really want me to stick around?" Kyle asked, his voice just audible over the music.
“I mean…if you wanted to stay…then of course I’d want you to. But if you don’t I’m not gonna pressure you or anything.”
"No, No I do want to stay, I just, I wanted to make sure you really did want me around…"
He smiled lightly “Well of course I want you around. Why wouldn’t I? You’re one of the most unique people I’ve ever met.”
He flushed a little and smiled back, "Thanks, I was just making sure."
“Well that’s good. I wouldn’t want one of us getting hurt just because we couldn’t understand what terms we were on.”
"Yeah, true. And I wouldn't ant you hurt. Ever."
“I’m glad to hear it. That’s why we have to do our best to prevent anything bad from happening to us.”
"Yup. You have that gun of yours and I have powers. I think we'll be good at protecting each other."
“Yup. And I’m a hell of a shot just to brag on myself real quick. I just hope no one comes for you…”
"Hey," He cupped Caleb's cheek, "No one dangerous knows about me, okay? I'll be fine."
“Just…try to be careful…please…” he replied quietly “I know it’s probably not my place to say so, but I just want you to be safe from all of that…”
"I know you do, and I'm thankful for that," He smiled softly, "If I think anything bad is going to happen I'll call you right away, promise."
“You better!” He replied with a grin, turning back into his usual cocky self.
Kyle giggled, "I will, don't worry."
“Sorry this is a bit personal but…did you ever feel…I don’t know..weird? Growing up with powers and all?” He asked awkwardly, he wanted to know but didn’t know if that’d insult him.
Kyle sighed a little, looking down at his feet, "It was… hard. Then again I didn't have the best childhood and having powers on top of that was even harder. But I got through it so…" He shrugged.
He nodded slowly “that does sound like it’d be hard…but like you said, you made it through to the other side for the most part.”
"Yeah. I'm not a hundred percent there yet but… I will be. Sooner or later I will be." He said softly.
“Well…I’ll do my best to help you get there. Out of everyone, you deserve to get to that one hundred percent.” He replied in an equally quiet voice.
"Thank-you. You don't know how much that means to me, Caleb."
“Maybe I do. Maybe that’s why I’m saying it hm?” He chuckled lightly.
"Stop it, we're having a moment, don't ruin it now." He muttered, wrapping his arm back around his neck again.
“Sorry, my bad.” He laughed and sort of purposely bonked his forehead into Kyle’s. It would be so easy for Caleb to kiss him right now…he managed to hold himself back.
Kyle had to stand on his tip toes to bonk Caleb's forehead back, he smiled and rubbed his nose against his too before he lowered himself.
‘Too freaking cute’ he thought and grinned like an idiot. He slightly tightened his grip around Kyle’s waist. It wasn’t in a threatening way, just more of a ‘I want you close’ you know just typical gay stuff.
Kyle blushed and smiled up at him before nuzzling into the crook of his neck. If Caleb wanted him close then he was totally fine with that.
Caleb smiled and gently swayed to the music. Still there was that voice that tried to push into his head, the voice that told him none of this would work out. He pushed it away…he wanted to find a way to make this work.
