thirty six ~ i'm here

Simon rubbed his eyes as he rolled over to his phone. He could see that Vik had left him a few texts.

vik: I'm about to leave. text me when you wake up

vik: I can't wait <3

vik: I should be just under an hour.

Half panicked, Simon checked the time to see he had only left recently.

simon: morning beautiful, i'm going to get ready now.

He pushed himself out of bed more motivated than he had felt in a long while. Josh had agreed to greet Vik and go out with his girlfriend for the day to give them time alone. Simon couldn't help but wonder the simple things while showering: would he sound different in person? how tall was he? would they be a good fit?

Sage played around his feet as he dried himself off and dressed putting on a simple black tshirt with a red logo on and jeans. He didn't want to dress up because he didn't want to make Vik uncomfortable. It was looking in the mirror that he realised he was nervous too. He had worries about what would happen but he tried to push them away as he bent to lift up Sage.

"Baby you're the whole reason I know Vik. Thank you" He felt a little silly as he kissed the top of Sage's head but it was true. One sad text and one dog brought them together. His phone buzzing caught his attention and he placed Sage down on the bed, where she rolled herself between the duvet.

vik: I'm here. I think..

simon: why did you text?

vik: In case I have the wrong place.

simon: Cutie. I'll come to the door.

Simon's smile felt like it was stretching ear to ear but he couldn't help it. He glanced out of the hallway window as he passed, catching sight of Vik. His breath caught in his throat at how beautiful the boy standing outside his house was. Taking three steps at a time, he called out to Josh to warn him and skidded to a halt in front of the door.

Pulling it open, he found himself walking forward without thinking twice and pulling Vik to his chest. The smaller boy gasped slightly in shock having been engrossed in his phone but he hesitantly placed his arms around the taller boy's waist. Simon rested his head on top of Vik's and sighed happily as he felt Vik relax in his arms.

"Hello, cupcake."

Vik giggled slightly as they pulled away to look at each other. Simon couldn't help but stare a little, overjoyed at the fact he was even here. Embarrassed, Vik bowed his head and rubbed the back of his neck. Simon confidently took Vik's hand in his, searching for any uncomfortableness as he lead Vik into his home.

"Welcome to my house." He was grinning, he could feel it. Vik had to look up at him to match his eyes but once he did, he smiled back. They became lost for a second in the eye contact before a bark bounced around the corner and straight up at the new guest.

"Meet Harlow." Simon chuckled as Vik was forced to pay attention to the dog jumping at him. He closed the door and turned to watch the small boy kneel to greet Harlow and Sage who had appeared between the bigger dogs feet.

"Harlow. Sage. Down" Josh had appeared around the corner, calling the overexcited pets back. "Hello Vik, nice to see you." He smiled at Vik who waved as he stood up. Josh nodded at me before leading the dogs back to the kitchen.

"We can go to the living room, follow me?" Vik turned to look back at Simon and his eyes widened as though he had seen a ghost. It was as though he had forgotten the taller boy was there. He recollected himself and nodded, shooting him a small smile.

Simon had already set up snacks and he turned the tv on as Vik made himself comfortable. He loaded up Netflix and sat down, pouting slightly at the fact Vik had curled himself into a corner.

"I pick a movie, you pick a movie?" He questioned, not wanting to put any pressure on the shy boy. Vik nodded and he loaded up Hotel Transylvania making the other boy giggle.

Simon settled himself and held an arm out. "Come here." Vik listened to him and shuffled over, resting his head on Simon's chest. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Me too, Simon." The blonde boys heart skipped a beat at his voice. He smiled and squeezed his arm softly around Vik.
