I woke up in a way that I normally didn't. I had wanted to wake up like this several times. I had fantasized about it a lot, but this was the first time that it was happening.
I woke up with my arms wrapped around Ocean. I could feel his comforting weight pressed against my chest where his head was using me like a pillow. He had one arm held close to his body and the other slung across my body, holding me tight.
His legs were tangled with mine as well; one of them slung over both of mine trapping them in place. I never knew he was a cuddler, but I was not at all upset about it.
And being this close to him made that scent of his a lot stronger. Every breath that I took, I could smell and taste him. That flavor of having pineapple and coconut on a beach while sitting next to a campfire. It was so complex, just like my Ocean.
And just that, the thought of him being mine, that was enough to make it all worth it; it was enough to keep me moving forward towards a life with Ocean that I didn't have to hide from anyone.
As I thought about how great this day had started, I was running my hand up and down his back. His bare skin under my fingertips felt like it was made out of silk; it was soft, smooth and perfect.
I think that my fingers might have been tickling him somewhat because he started to squirm a little. I felt him stretch and heard him groan a little at having been woken up. Then, his hand came to rest on my chest, and I could feel him searching around. He had just realized that he was in bed with me.
I thought he would just jump away and be scared like he has been in the past, but I was wrong. When Ocean opened his eyes and sat up, he just looked at me. His eyes were a little wider than they normally would be, but he didn't look scared.
"I..I wasn't s..s..s..sure if you were g..going to be here when I..I woke up." He was slightly nervous, but I saw that he was also happy.
"Where would I go? I didn't want to be anywhere else." I watched as he blushed, shy but happy. "It's not your birthday anymore, but I still want to be with you and spoil you."
"You're such an idiot sometimes." He grinned and threw himself at me. He pressed his chest to mine and kissed me.
"Mm, if you're going to throw yourself at me everytime that I am in your bed, I might just stay over every night."
"Th..th..that's not, I..I..I'm not throwing, it's n..n..not like-."
"Don't worry, Ocean, it was a joke. But still, I wouldn't say no if you ever asked me again." I winked at him as I stretched. "Now come on, let's get up before I do something I shouldn't."
I didn't miss the look on his face, which was two parts fear, one part worry, and three parts excitement. Yeah, those were a lot of parts, but it was the only way for me to describe that he was just as excited as he was afraid. Hmm, was he starting to accept me that much already?
I decided that I needed to use Ocean's restroom that was attached to his bedroom before I did anything else. I wanted to clean up as well as relieve myself. I spent just a few minutes in there before I was done, but by the time that I went back to the bedroom I saw that Ocean was dressed, and there was a pile of clothes on the bed, presumably for me.
"I'm going to freshen up now, you can wear these." He didn't sound nervous now that he was awake. I was glad that things were going so well this morning.
"Thanks."
By the time that he was done in the bathroom, I had gotten completely dressed; well almost, I was still missing a pair of boxers. I even had time to sit and replay last night in my head.
Now that we were both dressed and ready for the day, we headed down to the kitchen. It was time for us to have some food.
"I can't cook, though." Ocean looked embarrassed.
"I'm not surprised, most guys our age can't."
"Then how come you can?" He sounded jealous.
"I'm home alone a lot, and I don't always like the staff to be there with me. So, I've learned to cook for myself so that I can give the chef a break when it's just me." Ocean looked surprised with what I was saying, his eyes popping out of his head.
"You really are rich, aren't you?"
"My parents do well enough." I shrugged. "My dad is the CEO of the company but my mom is the president. The reason we moved here is because they moved the base of their operations out here. I came along because I had no reason to stay behind."
"Well, that's cool. My parents aren't rich, but they do alright."
The conversation was easy as I pulled ingredients from the fridge. There were eggs, milk, flour, and bacon. I was going to make homemade pancakes with bacon on the side. It wasn't hard, but Ocean looked like he was very impressed. When he took the first bite his eyes went wide.
"Holy shit, these are good." He really seemed to like it.
We talked about a lot of different things, stuff that we liked and enjoyed, mostly when it comes to food. It was almost like a breakfast date. Then again, I basically counted it as a date anyway, since I enjoyed being with him so much, every time I was with him was special to me.
Just as we finished eating the front door was opened. I could already hear the happy voices of his parents, though I didn't hear his sister with them.
"Well, hello there boys." Mrs. Shores smiled at us when they came into the kitchen. "That looks like a wonderful breakfast. Did you make that, Kai?"
"Yes, I like cooking so I decided to make breakfast. I hope you don't mind me having stayed over last night. I helped Ocean clean up, and it was quite late afterwards."
"Not at all." She grinned. "Right, dear?" She elbowed her husband a little in the side.
"Oh, yeah right. It's fine. Thank you for keeping Ocean company for us."
"It was my pleasure. My parents are away on meetings right now; they're not expected back until sometime in December, so I enjoyed the companionship myself."
"Oh my. They're gone for that long? You poor thing." Mrs. Shores looked like she was sad for some reason.
"It's fine. I could have stayed behind at our house in Florida, but there was nothing to keep me there. This isn't the first spur of the moment move my parents have had to make. I'm used to this life." I shrugged it off, but for some reason Ocean's parents didn't look like they accepted that.
"You shouldn't be alone all the time, Kai." Mr. Shores was shaking his head. "Eighteen or not, you're still in school and need someone to talk to. You're welcome here anytime you want. You don't even need to call ahead if you don't want to."
"And of course, Ocean can keep you company at your place as well." Mrs. Shores added with a smile.
"Thank you." They were really nice people.
"Oh, I know." Mrs. Shores clapped her hands with excitement. "You should join us here for thanksgiving. That would be so nice, if you were to share your first thanksgiving here with us."
"That's so nice of you, thank you so much."
I felt like Ocean's family was very welcoming of me. That was such a relief. I don't know what I would have done if they hadn't liked me. Now though, I almost felt like I had their approval to be with Ocean.
After we were done eating, I decided to leave. Ocean opted to come with me. He didn't want to stay at home with his parents when they seemed so overly cheery, or that's how he worded it anyway.
"Besides, I want to see your place. I haven't been there yet."
"You can come over anytime that you want." I grinned at the shy way that he was acting. "I would never deny you the chance to come over to my place."
"Oh, good. W..w..well, w..we can go now."
"If you keep acting like that, I might get ideas about what it is that you really want." I winked at him and made him jump.
"N..no, n..n..no that's n..not what I..I meant. I..I just wanted to s..s..spend more time with y..y..you."
"I know Ocean, don't worry so much. I was just teasing you."
"You tease me too much, you know that?" He glared at me.
"Because you make it so easy." I ran a finger across his chin and smiled. "Come on, let's go to my place. Maybe you can sleep over and keep me company." The shock and excitement were back. I can tell that he wanted to spend the night, but it would probably end with just that. It's alright, I was patient, I could be a good boy, for a little while.
