This was it, the perfect opportunity to tell Sami they should wise up and call it quits.
But Sami had a rough day, way before Aya’s interruption.That was a distraction, all right, but not the one he had requested.And who knew if Ian was in a better mood tomorrow?
Really, ending things now would be tone deaf.
How are you feeling?
wish I could say it was the first time someone walked in on me
A dull pain shot through Baz’s jaw when he grinded his teeth; he moved his jaw around to loosen the clench.Of course Sami had other partners before him.Why was he surprised those relationships were no less complicated than theirs?
That’s not what I meant.
i know <3 i’m fine
promise
is she gonna tell on us?
No!
She’s just worried you’re screwing me over.
I am screwing you
Dork.
are you worried about that?
Well.Sami had had so many opportunities for that already and had chosen not to.Baz wasn’t sure when he had started believing that his intentions were pure, but he did.Sami didn’t need to know everything, though.
Jury’s still out.
Or was that too harsh?Maybe… His thumb hovered over the heart emoji.Oh, what the hell?Sami had no inhibitions about sending them, he’d understand their platonic meaning.
<3
…Or was that too much after all?
Haha <3 <3 <3
Apparently not.Good.
Good night, Sami.
Baz placed his phone on the side table, rolled onto his side, and buried his face in the same pillow Sami’s hair had been scattered across less than an hour ago.It still smelled like him.
If Aya hadn’t interrupted, would he have stayed?Would he have made good on his promise to keep Baz up all night with a second—or even third—round?Or would they have stayed intertwined?Sami snuggling into his chest, solid and secure.Baz could have played with those beautiful, luscious curls, traced his scars, relished whatever ways Sami wanted to touch him in return…
Maybe he’d find out, one day.
have a not shit day <3
Baz squinted against his phone screen.Even on the lowest brightness, it burned into his retinas in the darkness of the early morning.He hadn’t expected Sami to be up at sixamtoo.
I’ll try
Aren’t you supposed to go make the life of 42 people miserable right now?
