Kickthestickz - Bright Night - Part 10

PJ's POV

I woke up from my nap when I felt people moving around me. Looking up I saw Dan coming down the stairs tugging a sheepish looking Chris behind him

"Come on, everybody out" he said firmly. There were groans of dissapoint from the small crowd

"PJ's tired" he reasoned but he glanced at Chris after he said it making the older boy blush slightly. I was too tired to wonder about it though instead I wearily began the long task of hugging all the guests.

When it was finally just me,Chris,Dan and Phil left I let out a sigh of relief. The party had really taken it out of me and a warm bed would be very welcome right now. Dan smiled when he saw my eyelids droop and pulled me into an affectionate hug.

"I'll get out of your hair now and leave you in Chris's capable hands"

he winked- well attempted to and then hit Phil when he laughed before making his way to Chris. Phil moved in to hug me

"I'm really glad things worked out between you and Chris!" he said smiling and my cheeks were tinged red as I replied

"Me too."

Dan and Phil left and Chris wasted no time in getting me to bed and tucking me in. I felt like a child but I appreciated it. Something was missing though, something I knew would keep me awake with its absence.

"Chris!" I called out just as he was leaving

"Yeh PJ?"

"Umm could you ... stay with me?" I asked my face now resembling a tomatoe. Chris grinned

"It would be my pleasure" he needed no more prompting and jumped into the bed, pulling me against his chest. I sighed in content as he wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"Much better" I mumbled sleepily and he laughed

"You're too cute, you know that?" I hid my head in the pillow so he whispered in my ear instead

"I'm lucky to have you. I love you P-gay" he whispered.

"Love you too Shitstickz" I replied and fell asleep to the comforting sound of his soft laughter.

The End
