"Harvey, I have to tell you something..." Liam said with his face going serious. Uh oh, I hope it isn't anything bad. I suddenly started getting worried, I was noticeably trembling.

"W-What is it?" I barely manage to force out. He paused for  awhile, only making me more nervous.

"I... I love you Harvey, a-and I would like to be your boyfriend, if that's okay with you..." He said, nervously. Did he... I... My mind went into frenzy. I had so much going through my head, I couldn't even speak. I jump, wrapping my arms around his neck, making him almost drop me. Tears suddenly fell from my eyes. I couldn't help but to get emotional. Those were words I never though I'd hear from the person I never thought I'd have. He tightened his embrace and rubbed my back.

"I love you Liam." I sob, with my head over his shoulder. His smile returned, only greater.

"So is that a yes?" He asked, already knowing the answer. I nod anyway. He carried me to the front door and gave me my crutch. We entered the house and spotted Marie and Marvin speaking at the dinning table.

"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you." Liam said sounding scared. Was he really going to tell them? They waited, silent in their seats.

"I'm in love with Harvey and he's agreed to be my boyfriend, so I would appreciate it if you gave me your support." He spoke, bravely, but probably still scared.

"The way you two look together... I always knew you'd end up as a couple." Marvin said, in a jolly tone.

"You guys are always happy when you're around each other. If you're happy then so am I." Marie assured in a mother manner. She walked over to Liam and hugged him.

"Thanks guys, I wasn't expecting you to accept this so easily but your support mean everything." Liam said, relieved.

"We could always tell you had an attraction to men, so we had more time to accept it. In the end we just want you to be happy." Marie said ruffling Liam's hair.

"Just don't break his heart..." She sounded sad. She held onto his shoulders and looked him in the eye. "He's a good kid."

"What makes you think I would be the one to break it off?" He asks a little surprised. "No offense Harvey."

"When he spoke with me I could see how much he loved you, plus its not like you haven't done it before." She rolled her eyes. My cheeks beamed a mighty red, He turned to me looking a little confused.

"You've already spoken to my mother about your feelings?" He says, sounding a little shocked, I nod.

"I went to apologize and ended up talking about it with her." I spoke shyly. He just smiles and held me to his side.

"Dinner will be ready in around thirty or so minutes." Marie informed, heading back to Marvin. Liam held my hand and guided me up the steps. When we got to his room he sat on his bed and pulled me into his lap. He released a sigh of relief and nuzzled against my neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist. I placed my hands to the back of his. We stayed like this awhile before drifting off to sleep.

We were woken by a knock on the door sometime later. Marvin came up to tell us dinner was ready. He had a smile on his face when he saw us cuddling. Liam's parents are so supportive, I hope mine will be this way as well, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

The dinner was wonderful. Marvin and Marie told tales of their many experiences and adventures. Liam groaned the whole time since he's already heard them more than enough times. Liam and I played games after dinner. We were having head to head races, and close fighting matches. I won most of the races while Liam won most of the fights.

It got pretty late so we showered and went to bed. I was excited cause we could cuddle all day tomorrow. He laid me on top of him and I got comfortable in his arms. The feeling of his hand rubbing my back and our in sync breathing put me off into a deep sleep. I slept though the whole night warm and comfortable. I stopped having nightmares after the first time sleeping here. I used to get them very often, sometimes worse than others. I guess its due to all of the negative thoughts and stress I've been storing in my head.

I woke up to Liam playing with my hair. He had such a gorgeous smile on his face, I couldn't help but to smile back.

"Hey babe." He said, brushing his fingers up and my back. Whenever he calls me babe I can't hold back my blush. He grabbed my butt and pulled me closer to his face. He placed his lips on mine and engulfed me in gentle kiss. After our kiss was broken I rested my head under Liam's chin. He continued rubbing my back, and we both eventually fell back to sleep. We woke about an hour later. When we got downstairs after showing and brushing our teeth we spotted a note on the counter in the kitchen.

"Me and Marvin will be gone for most of the day, we're on a little date. Help yourself to anything in the house, EXCEPT MY JEWELRY! -Marie"

Me and Liam both giggled after reading Marie's note.

"Guess they're out again." Liam said in a slight sigh.

"Though I guess this means we have today all to ourselves." Liam winked. I could almost feel my composure escaping through my ears. My cheeks lit a bright red. After being stuck in a daze for awhile Liam's stomach growled, snapping me back to the world.

"Gah, Marie didn't even make lunch!" He whined.

"I got that covered, if I'm allowed to use your kitchen that is." I smile shyly, raising a finger.

"Please do." He said smiling back. That's when I realized I'd never cooked for Liam, I helped Marie with dinner a few times but that was it.

"A-Any requests?" I ask, nervously.

"Uh... Make me the best pancakes possible." He grinned, sitting one of the stools next to the counter. I nodded and began making the batter. He sat in his seat watching me with his head lowered to the counter. His eyes were locked on me as I made my way around the kitchen. I poured the mix into the greased pan and began forming pancakes. I was able to make six thick blueberry cream pancakes before the batter ran out. I placed them on a platter that was sitting on the counter near Liam. He was being oddly silent, continuing to watch me. I asked him where the syrup was and he pointed towards one of the cabinets. I opened it and spotted a jar of maple syrup. I mixed some of it with milk and cinnamon, then glazed the pancakes with it.

"Mmm, that smells so good." Liam complimented, finally speaking.

"I just realized I've never had any of your cooking, other than those amazing muffins." He says, not removing his eyes from the platter. I'd completely forgotten about the muffins I made for his party.

"Bring two forks over here!" He demanded. "We'll eat from the same platter."

Oh my gosh, is he for real? My blush returned, this time a little deeper. I went over to the silverware holder and grabbed two forks like he ordered. I handed him one and sat in the stool next to him. He gave me a little smile before forking a piece of a pancake.

"Dude, what the hell., this is like, really really good." He said after finishing his first bite. It made me overjoyed that he liked it.

"Now that we're a couple you'll have to cook for me everyday!" Liam smirked. He kissed my cheek before going back to the pancakes. I reddened, still not being able to believe we're together, I felt I was living a dream.
