Reunited

"It's perfectly fine you left."

Y/N's POV:
We laid next to each other in bed staring at the ceiling.
We had called he cops and asked to keep a look out for my ex.
It was a relief to know at least maybe he'll be caught.

But now, all I'm thinking about is how we just admitted we liked each other and both of us are acting like shy 7th graders at a school dance.
I rolled over looking at the wall.
My back facing Axl.

I hear him sigh. "Y/N? You still awake?"
I turned myself over to face him.
"Yes Axl, why?"
"Why didn't you tell me you liked me a while ago?" He questioned looking at me in the dark.
Even though I couldn't see him, I knew he was staring at me in the dark.

"I was going to tell you...the day you left."
I heard rustling and then a click, I saw Axl in the dim lit room from the lamp he just turned on next to the bed.
"Y/n?"
"Yes?" I replied
"You kept that to yourself this whole time?"
"Ye-"
"All these years, you kept that secret to yourself?"
"Ax-"

He stood up and started pacing, muttering to himself about he shouldn't have left.

"Axl?"
"Hmm?"
"It's perfectly fine you left."

He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him.

"Let me finish, Axl."

He just looked at me

"It's perfectly fine that you left because look where we are now. You have a successful band, we reconnected, we are out of that shitty town and we finally have lives. Everything is good. No need to dwell on the past."

He sighed and sat back down next to me.

"But what if I had stayed Y/n? What if?"

"Let's not think about that, it's late, we should get some sleep."

I got up to turn the lamp off but I felt hands around my waist pull me back, and I feel onto the bed looking up at Axl.

"Or we could just chill and watch a movie?"
"Hmmm, I'm kinda tired, maybe tomorrow."
"Ok, that's fine." Axl looked up and reached over to turn off the lamp.

You both rustled and kept moving until you both were comfortable.

"Thanks for finally telling me Y/n."
"No problem."

Axl sighed
"Goodnight Y/n"
"Goodnight Axl"

I felt his hands around my waist again pull me closer until my back was up against his chest and we were cuddling.

If this is what I get to live with for the rest of my life then I know life will be good.

I should ask him out....
We can think more tomorrow though.
I shut my eyes and relaxed into his touch, hearing him breathing softly behind me. Pfft and he said he wasn't tired.

A/N:
Been a while, I apologize, lots of stuff going on in life. But I'm back, enjoy.
